Wow. Nice. Congestion charges literally go towards improving transit. Also government in Canada are already spending record amounts on building transit. If you need to go into a zone that would have a congestion charge in Canada (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver) you would have at least a park and ride option.

Do you need a dentist visit every 6 months? That filling? The data is weak in c/science@lemmy.world

I also remember reading some research which said that time spent flossing is better spent brushing.

Can’t help but wonder if the fillings I got as a kid which need to be replaced every few years were avoidable.
