Keep in mind that parking minimums, and the tax structure that means parking lots pay tax on their current "best use" value, not what they could be worth if they were used for something else like housing, are municipal and provincial. There may be a way for the feds to "outlaw" those practices, but it would be tricky to do legally. Otherwise, all they have is the occasional transit project $ carrot.

    Yup

    "But my provincal/municipal freedoms!" Fucking keep them. You don't have to implement any of the federal suggestions, you just don't get federal funding to roads or transit.

    The fed spend ~15 Bn a year on infrastructure. I'm going to guess provinces and municipalities very much like slices of that pie.

    I assume most municipalities (like more organizations) rely heavily on plagiarism of policy. If so, I'd suggest that a pre-prepared policy package would do well.
