Ubisoft Halifax was probably the largest studio in the province, and now 71 people are out of work. Perhaps some smaller independent studios can emerge from this

Tim Houston is now running "illegal cannabis" awareness ads to follow up his embarrassing crackdown from a few weeks ago. Noticeably no mention of fentanyl, after the RCMP didn't back up his claim b/c there was no proof. Why are we spending our tax $ on this drivel?

The Trump administration is actively censoring what is shown by the media. It won't stop here; they will continue to sanitize their heinous crimes and cosplay as a competent government behind a facade of smug contempt for the public. They think they can get away with this.

It's simple politics. Say 6 different contradictory things. People will only hear the one they agree with and think that the politician is going to do what they want them to do.

Since taking office, Houston’s government has spent roughly $2.5 billion on highways. In 2026-2027 they plan to spend another $465 million.

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.

Wow! Montreal’s public bike share system (BIXI) was featured in the TIME Best Inventions Hall of Fame for 2008, not far from the iPhone and Google Street View.
While not the very first bike sharing system, it was one of the earliest and it was the model for many other systems, from NYC to London.
