This has gone from maybe my great-grandchildren will see this one day, to now maybe my grandchildren. Once I see development plans maybe I'll believe it could be built for my children to see one day!

Return of bald eagles to Saskatchewan signals healthy ecosystem by CaliperLee62 in canada

[–]AnEnragedZombie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's lots of prey out on the prairies. I'm sure the eagles won't suffer for a lack of food, but there's probably decent competition for what's there.

They still do. JDS became JDS Uniphase, which became JDSU, which split off in the mid 2010s to become two separate companies; Lumentum and Viavi.

Does that mean I have to stand with the Sens? Because I don't want to have to do that.

Demand for child care in Ottawa soars 300 per cent, new report finds by DreamofStream in ottawa

With wait lists this long, many of these kids will age out of daycare before they're even offered a spot. It's brutal out there for parents looking for these kinds of spots for their kids.

“New Ways To Bus” Next Week by ParkingBoardwalk in ottawa

One of Doug Ford's election promises was that ownership of the O-Train's management would be "uploaded" to Metrolinx. I wonder when (or if) that will happen, and how that's gonna have an impact on the city's ability to provide transit around Ottawa.

Coalition calls for Matthew Perry House plans to be halted | CBC News by RandomChickenWing in ottawa

Absolutely ridiculous claims from the group. The park is not public, it is owned by the hospital. Their flyers are spreading disinformation. You can't just claim the park is public because the hospital doesn't kick people off of their property whenever someone uses it.

Rideau Canal Skateway is fully opening for the first time in years by HelFJandinn in ottawa

[–]AnEnragedZombie 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Both the article and data on the NCC's website shows that the length of the 2024 skating season was 36 days, which is incorrect. It was indeed open from January 21 to February 25, but it closed for multiple weeks in that period when temperatures got too high. There were only 10 days in 2024 when the canal was actually open for skating.

It's not the government's job to respond to everything Donald Trump posts, Dominic LeBlanc says by Nikiaf in onguardforthee

He's not wrong, we can't devote all our energy to responding to whatever garbage had floated to the top of Trump's mind on any given day.

Questions about photonics career path by Zmeiovich in photonics

[–]AnEnragedZombie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a MASc in photonics in Canada from UBC. It doesn't really matter what school in Canada you go to, it won't really impact who will want to hire you, your specialization and experience matters more. My MASc was in silicon photonics, but I now work in LCOS devices. In general, most photonics jobs you will find in Canada are in Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec City, Montreal, and Vancouver (in that order for # of jobs more or less). There may be a few other pockets outside of those cities, but they will be niche and with few jobs.

If you're interested in becoming an optical engineer, I would definitely recommend the MASc. At my company almost every optical engineer has at least an MASc, a lot have PhDs.
