This is not punitive as a primary objective so most cities wouldn’t do it… just like fines for “fare evasion” are often wayyyy higher than parking fines or other illegal shit people do driving cars, punishing people is why cities invest in fare inspectors. It also costs more than they “recover”

Another elected dumbfuck who wants it to be a requirement to own a car to live. In 2026, with gas prices, insurance rates, auto tariffs, more auto tariffs coming in January to publicly say this shit, is such gutter stupidity it should be disqualifying

It’s this shit that makes me despair for how gullible and collectively stupid we are. Look, 2.5% increases! Don’t look at the intentionally messy shit show of other numbers I’m gunna jack to try and make up the the difference. And people hear 2.5% once before voting and that’s all they need

Yes uncertified batteries are a problem and the certification extends to the chargers. UL certified chargers are smart chargers that automatically shut off when they detect battery temps rising above certain thresholds or too quickly. The lack of regulation all around seems intentional

This "put a sticker over it" approach to infrastructure maintenance could really go places. Think of the money the Feds could have saved on Parliament with just a vinyl wrap instead of a big renovation.

If we had a federal government that wasn't firmly up the ass of Big AI, they'd make it a crime for an AI to put people in mortal danger by sending them into wilderness areas with fictional instructions. If a human kept doing this, they'd probably go to jail, even under existing laws.

This is in response to news that we’re never going to profit from TMX, despite the government regularly calling the project “wildly profitable.” Anyway, when the whole argument for the infrastructure to be built is PROFIT-BASED, (unlike Canada Post!) yes you do!!

This is an interesting photo to go along with what was written. That's the Greenbank Realignment project, a very expensive, very wide, suburban road project - not housing. And the area surrounding it, south Barrhaven, is the complete opposite of the "vibrant, walkable communities" he speaks about.

I do think indigenous nations realize what reality they’re staring down but I do believe the rest of #canada doesn’t realize the permission structure and story framework being built quickly. A new pipeline = #canada being able to “work” with #alberta in confederation. Opposing pipelines…

“Do not touch my car” is a common phrase from car sociopaths. They think their car is part of their body. They’re fine with blithely, you know, killing someone, but if anybody bags on their hood to let them know they’re driving badly, that’s too much.
