Chris Spangle is joined by Harry Price and Rhinehold for the final We Are Libertarians roundtable of 2025, recorded on the Saturday between Christmas and New Year's.

They can fly by before you even hear them - those sleek two wheeled battery powered scooters. They are transforming city sidewalks, bike lanes and roads, often bypassing traffic jams and drawing riders with a quick zip to their destination. But beyond the breezy rides there's a growing concern. Emergency room doctors are sounding the alarm - injuries linked to e-scooters have surged 32% in just one year, according to the latest data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information. Head trauma, shattered bones, sudden emergency department visits from what seems like a quick, fun ride. Sales are booming, sidewalks are crowding, and city planners and politicians are scrambling to figure out where they belong. Our question: Are e-scooters revolutionizing your daily commute or are they an accident waiting to happen?
