When newly-elected Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson started converting car lanes to bike lanes in 2009, pundits claimed it was political suicide. In 2018, he stepped down after three terms as the longest-serving mayor in the city's history. So what can this tale teach us about so-called "bikelash"?🧵

Sand batteries are literally just silos of sand that retain heat exceptionally well -- so well that they can be tied to heat exchange systems to serve as proxy *electrical* batteries. Finland's new model can store enough power (100 MWh) to heat an entire town for a week.

In case this wasn't already on your list of reasons to boycott US products and never cave on letting the US dump their oversupply on our Canadian markets, give this a watch.

New method of permanently turning off gen AI in Microsoft 365 just dropped
parismarx.com Paris Marx @parismarx.com · Jul 25
Last week, I got an email from Microsoft. It told me I’d be paying 46% more for my Office subscription, starting next month.

But when I tried to cancel, it offered me the same price I was already paying — without the generative AI features I never asked for in the first place.
I’ve had it with Microsoft
The company is deceptively raising prices on existing customers to fund its AI spending

A Quebec fisherman who was fishing 15 kilometers north of the US border was essentially kidnapped by US Border Patrol, who capsized his boat and dragged him to an American prison cell.

In any normal time this'd be quite the international incident, y'know?

www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...
Lallemand said he borrowed his friend’s boat and was fishing near Venise-en-Québec, which is roughly 15 kilometres north of the U.S. border at the northern tip of Lake Champlain. He says he has been fishing for decades and is adamant that he was in Canadian waters when the Coast Guard showed up and told him to turn off his engine, to which he complied. The three officers told him he was in U.S. territory. “I said, ‘No, I’m very sorry, I’m in Canada.’ And I said I’m polite enough to talk to you guys but you cannot arrest me. ‘You can’t come across the border and pick me up’ but they did,” he recalled. Lallemand started his engine and said he wanted to talk with the officers by the shore, but the Coast Guard followed and tried to push him into the U.S., which is what caused him to go overboard. “They’re tying my boat to their boat. They’re not even taking care of me. The third time I went down, coming out with water in my mouth, spitting it out, I said throw me a buoy,” he said. Once on their vessel, he said he was aggressively put in handcuffs. “I never saw somebody so angry,” he said. He was then handed over to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, who fingerprinted him, put him in a jail cell with his clothes soaking wet, and gave him a “dirty” blanket.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!"

And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

“To blame women for the radicalization of young men because they are airing their very rightful grievances is silencing women and using the violence of men to silence women, it’s fucked up.” #cdnpoli

I would like to see more academics and less american-style pundits on CBC, CTV and other Canadian news channels.

Canadians need unbiased facts, not opinions from commentators/pundits.

Pundits are not reporters.

Inform Canadians and fact check information is needed.

Please, please don't "just watch" the Cons burn our country down around us, even if the alternative/opposition doesn't feel "quite right".

I used to think this way too, but then someone told me about the public transportation analogy for voting
A picture of text: Time to remember the best voting advice I ever heard: Voting isn't marriage, it's public transportation. You aren't waiting for "the one" who is absolutely perfect. You are getting on the bus. If there isn't one going to your exact destination, you don't stay home and sulk, no, you take the bus going closest to where you want to be.
