What are we going to do about connecting #montreal Metropolitan Airport with transit when the new terminal opens?
This has been coming for years, the exo runs right to it but I bet the new #porter terminal opens to the exact same commuter oriented service with just a few trains a day.
Just as we […]

I went out in Léry this weekend for a BBQ in a new development and was shocked that there were no sidewalks directly opposite the school.
How is it still legal in #Québec to build housing developments without pedestrian infrastructure?

Jeeze premium TV these days could do with some fan edits.
So much filler.
Anyone remember Goku gathering the Spirit Bomb in Dragon Ball Z? That's the vibe that a minute of "character thinking out window" each episode gives me.

Wonder what next week’s travesty will be? Probably not this, but like clockwork it’ll be something.

I thought the mayor we had growing up was as weird as #invercargill could manage.

Apparently I missed an even stranger era!

Thought I would check in and see how the small town I went to high school in is doing…
Yeah, it’s that small.

A news article discusses Invercargill Mayor Nobby Clark's lack of support for his brother's unexpected bid for mayoral office. The image features Nobby Clark in a casual outfit, with other people visible in the background.

The thing that strikes me about the doppelgänger subreddit is how NO-ONE actually looks that much like anyone else in the world, even though there are billions of us.

End of life grid storage has always seemed like a game changer to me. Basically, prior to recycling an EV battery, you use it as grid storage for 5-10 years.
We'll know in a couple of years if the approach works. I'm just worried after following a few projects for a while that its an idea that […]

@evan I figure there's no harm in putting a few nights a year into a plan considering the stakes.

PAIGE! 🍁 @paige.canadiancivil.com · 10d

My list so far:
- Freezing the bank accounts and assets of a large number of people I agree with.
- An election result being overturned by force.
- A term limit increase pushed by a strongman.
- The banning of corrective mechanisms (Banning electoral reform, news outlets, alternative political […]

Throughout history the majority of people do not try to pack-up and leave until it's too late.
Two prudent things you can do:
1. Write a list of redlines for when you'd immigrate.
2. Research the answer to questions like "Where will I go?" and "How do I get my money/family out?" etc.

Let’s get this done!
What a massive waste of citizens time telling them what they already know, it’s like giving us a half-day national holiday.

The Canada Revenue Agency is doing a public consultation on automatic tax filing (which they should have implemented …several decades ago!). Fill it out and let the CRA know that it’s a good idea! https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/corporate/about-canada-revenue-agency-cra/transparency-proactive-disclosure-canada-revenue-agency/consultations-engagement-canada-revenue-agency/automatic-tax-filing-consultation.html via @[email protected] #cdnpoli #GCdigital

@evan you’ll need a harder brand name intoxicant than Guinness.
Like “The OxyContin Book of Fucked Up Records”

Majority Rules | Documentary by Director AJ Schnack

With America's democratic experiment mired in division and dysfunction, the state of Alaska votes to revolutionize their election system. The surprising results spark new alliances, a growing call for election reform, and fierce pushback from political parties. Could changing how Americans vote also

Political parties want us to think they’re serious about weight loss because they run for an hour a day, while still eating a litre of ice cream afterwards.
It doesn’t make any sense.

PAIGE! 🍁 @paige.canadiancivil.com · 17d

When a provincial politician campaigns on solving the housing crisis by reducing immigration without also proposing a medium density residential standard they deserve the accusations of xenophobia.
It’s not hard to be plausibly serious about housing and address both supply and demand.

I’m not sure if I have the cringe-endurance to learn swing dancing. At least with ballet I can just suck at it without a dance partner being brought down with me.
