If the Nova Scotia government actually cared about protecting kids, they’d go after the companies selling illegal electric devices and marketing them to minors instead of criminalizing the kids

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has submitted cease-and-desist letters to 42 corporations, including Temu, Target, and Amazon, for selling illegal high-speed e-bikes and e-scooters to New Yorkers.
This comes one week after a 17-year-old New York resident was fatally struck by an SUV while riding an e-bike capable of reaching over 30 miles per hour-double the 15 mph speed limit for e-bikes in New York City.
Emergency room visits from electric scooter and e-bike accidents for children and adolescents have increased 671% since 2023.
"It is the responsibility of retailers to only sell the vehicles permissible under New York law in our city,"
Mayor Mamdani said.

VIA Rail has been deliberately broken incrementally by Ottawa over 6 decades. And of course, it was kneecapped in 1995 when Ottawa privatized CN along with the tracks, leaving VIA to the mercy of CN, and of passenger-rail-cutting politicians.

The beauty of sports is you can just decide at any point “I give a shit about this now. Against all reason.” Ten minutes later you hate one of the teams more than life and it’s all downhill from there.

In case you, too, needed this today:

Op is novelconcepts: Hey, man, c'mere. Listen. Get in real close, this is important.
You're gonna make stuff again. You're gonna make stuff you're proud of. You're gonna make stuff you're excited to share. You're going to feel that overwhelming drive to create, not just the frantic / want to want to you're stuck in now. You're going to have awesome ideas, and you're going to make them into reality. You're going to create again.
You're still an artist. You're still a writer. You're still home to the same passion you had before. You'll find it again. It's not gone. It's just resting. Let it rest. You're going to make stuff again. I promise.

TRAVEL TIP if doing a driving trip in Canada this year: (Welcome to you too, USians! Don't be scared if you come curious & friendly!) DOWNLOAD ALL TRAVEL MAPS FOR CANADA FOR OFFLINE USE. You are not prepared for how often you can lose cell coverage in the backcountry. Do NOT rely on online maps!

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

To avoid spoilers, I’m switching to B&W for the rest of the week. Two draws into the Olympics Trials, Two stripes down in the socks!

A black and white photo shows four starts of socks balanced on a pair of knees. Each of the four have a light coloured cuff, and two completed stripes.

In the background you can see a curling rock hat, and a sheet of ice with curlers.

_It begins_ We’re knitting our advent sock yarn at the Canadian Curling Trials, one stripe per draw. This might be the only photo we post “live” so we don’t spoil the colours for others.

A sparkly white sock cuff, on the needles, balances on a black crossbar. Behind it, there are curling sheets with women playing on them.

It’s absolutely right that workers walk off the job in response to the government taking a chainsaw to Canada Post. If we lose the unique national infrastructure the postal service has, it will never be rebuilt. We should be using it to expand services to the public, not nickel and diming it.

Another thing I'd like to add is that as a longtime victim of stalking, I have been sending all my mail to a PO Box since 2005. I live in a city of 1 million people and have a street address, but I'm not even on the voter registry in order to keep myself safe. No more PO Boxes would be a huge loss.

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service. Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

Solidarity with the postal workers. The proposed cuts - the mere idea of eliminating the century-old foundational idea of "getting mail at your home", all because Canada Post doesn't "turn a profit like a business" - should be embarrassing for us as a country

The Canadian government's had their bluff completely called. "You are ORDERED to arbitration." No thanks. "Go back to work by NOON or ELSE." Nah we're good. "Your strike is now ILLEGAL." Okay arrest every Air Canada flight attendant, that'll be great optics AND help the planes take off again.

Update from after the noon deadline: the flight attendants' union have told the government "fuck it we ball"

Air Canada flight attendants’ union head defies back-to-work order: ‘If it means jail, so be it.’
CUPE union president Mark Hancock refused to obey Ottawa orders. “If Air Canada thinks flights will be operating this afternoon, they’re sorely mistaken,” he said as picketing continues.

The public overwhelmingly sides with the union workers, and overwhelmingly - like, just as a constant, throughout Canadian history - does not like Air Canada. Even just for basic, naked politics reasons, you'd think the Liberal government would understand not to hitch their wagon to the latter

I get that sometimes the garbage can't pile up forever or ERs need nurses, and some strikes need intervention. Air Canada's a private company with 44% market share & stock mostly held by foreign investors. Air Canada's *not an essential service* and the Canadian government has no right to intervene

Fuck that! Not loving this ugly precedent of the Liberal government injecting themselves into labour issues to side with corporations. Flight attendants are striking for extremely reasonable demands. Did you know they don't get paid UNTIL takeoff time? All the boarding and prep they do for FREE.

Government Shuts Down Air Canada Strike That Grounded Hundreds of Flights
A walkout by flight attendants ended after about 12 hours with the imposition of binding arbitration. But getting travel back to normal will take days.
