As a reminder, the entire reason this specific bike lane is somehow under the purview of the Provincial Government is because our moron Premier has to pass it on his way to his job (on the rare days he goes to work) and the sight of a cyclist passing his SUV in traffic makes his blood BOIL

If Musk is pulling the rug on support for Ukraine (Starlink will no longer be able to support Ukrainian drones/interceptors) then the EU has every right to ban his cars and his app from the continent. And if you doubt the EU's weight, ask Apple why they stopped using proprietary chargers.

I totally agree. Alberta separatists are just basically the convoy people with a slightly different goal, and the radicalism and delusion of those people isn’t going anywhere.

"Ripping out these protected bike lanes against the will of Toronto city council is a colossal waste of $48 million. The province’s own experts know it will not ease traffic congestion, it will put people’s lives at risk…” One of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen any politician do to any city.

Over the moon for Anne Carson's Nobel. I have always loved her poem New Rule, from Men in the Off Hours (2000).It’s a powerful reminder of how exceptional she is at taking everyday language and turning it into deep, piercing emotional truth. griffinpoetryprize.com/poem/new-rul...

Definitely. It's ridiculous to talk about climate change as a scientific/technological problem, in this day and age. It's a political one and a societal one, but the science of it was solved more than a century ago.

The fantasy that you can make an existential threat to the earth worse in the short term because maybe somehow magically in the long term it will solve it in some magical way already dismissed is part of artificial idiocy. We have the solutions. We just need to implement them.

Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. 

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.
