Just had a by-election in Milton. Turnout was a pathetic 17%. One person pointed out that there were only 3 polling locations, none of them convenient for someone who doesn't drive. Made me think yeah, this might be how we keep electing people who drive everywhere and don't give a s**t abt transit.

I just love how Hazel is such a trooper, putting up with getting soaked

Same.

glad to be born at a time when i got to see what life was like before the internet and will be dead before AI completely destroys humanity

Always follow the money

Oop! I meant 'Terry' (the other Terry Fox movie)

Fun Fact: my sister was part of the team that won a Gemini Award for erasing Shawn Ashmore's leg in The Terry Fox Story. During the awards ceremony while waiting to get into the reception (which had a cash bar btw because, Canada), she was serenaded by Walter Gretsky.

The suburbs will be the death of us all. Unfortunately, politicians have come to realize that they can win elections relying solely on the suburban and rural vote, and throw city dwellers to the wolves.

Also, they should probably consider what downtown city traffic and parking would look like if every single Skip and Doordash delivery was made by car.

Part of the problem is that the media constantly portrays all e-bike riders as lunatic food delivery workers mowing pedestrians down on the sidewalk, with no acknowledgement of the middle-aged, overweight women with bad knees like me who are a not insignificant segment of e-bike users.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Housing policy is climate policy.

Love this movie. Not one of my *all time* top 5, but definitely a top 5 Jack Black performance at the very least.

As the provincial government looks at banning automated speed cameras, a new report shows that vehicles belonging to cabinet ministers have been regularly caught by automated speed cameras, in some cases going 30kph over the speed limit.

My nephew is at UVic, so yay!

My dad passed away on Thursday after a very rough week, and I cannot tell you what comfort baseball and the Jays have been. #GOJAYSGO !!

I think the New York Yankees might want to rethink their ban of allowing Canadians buying playoff tickets because I doubt their own fans are going to show up after the two game thumping the Toronto Blue Jays just delivered.

It would be so completely perfect if Canada's team took the Series from the Americans this year.

The abuse of the word "technology" in marketing. Sorry, but describing the formulation of my shampoo or laundry detergent as "advanced cleaning technology" is overstating things just a tad.

Oh no MAGA! Look at the Antifa Frog in Portland, Oregon.

Is this really what you guys consider to be “domestic terrorists?”

On Oct. 4, 1957, the Avro Arrow was unveiled with the intention of it being the RCAF's primary interceptor in the 1960s.
Less than two years later, the program was abruptly cancelled and 14,528 Avro employees were put out of work.
This is the story of the Arrow.

This is hardly a surprise when our Premier is actively endangering vulnerable road users by tearing out bike lanes and speed cameras, and has publicly stated that he thinks speeding is no big deal. But sure, tell us how it's all Ottawa's fault.
