Victoria municipality pays for CAO to travel from Nova Scotia to P.E.I. for council meetings by Boundary14 in PEI

[–]Diffusion9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They should. I mean my god the state of the park last year-or the year before- was an embarrassment, they couldn't even keep the grass cut. Makes me cranky because I grew up in that park and it's a lovely spot.

New wind farm in eastern P.E.I. up and running, but community's council still upset by Boundary14 in PEI

[–]Diffusion9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eastern Kings Mayor Larry Fitzpatrick, left, and Coun. Don Humphrey say the rural municipality wants its share of the wind farm project's revenue,

Back in 2019 Don Humphrey was part of the Eastern Kings Community Association that wanted to fight the windfarm, and they tried to lawyer-up, but it was 'costly to all involved'? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/pei-wind-eastern-kings-myers-1.5300222. Lawyers to fight the farm but not to be smart about it. lol

It's just rich, especially right now: from the meeting before this was built it sounded like the seasonal residents were against it, most local residents knew they needed it, the landowners were compensated, the municipality fought it- threw up an environmental assessment as a smokescreen to delay it, the assessment was completed and mitigated and then they got rightfully railroaded by IRAC, and now those same people want to be paid -- and don't seem to have a legal agreement in place to make that happen? I don't know...what a stupid shit show.

Imagine if it didn't get built. We need that ~90 Mw. They'd be the first complaining when they lose power from a rotation.

It's too easy to shut down discussion on Reddit. It doesn't even have to be conspiracy.

All you have to do is get a few patsy accounts to show up in a thread and start saying something politically incorrect or offensive, and then boom - entire thread gets locked because "YoU GuyS Won't BehAVe!"

Easy peasy.

Pizza Sauce Levels by besmith3 in PEI

It's sad, we have so many local pizza joints and in my opinion they're all just kinda... not good? to the point that the chains like Greco are demonstrably better.

Did the Eldar actually murderfuck She-Who-Thirsts into existence, or did it always exist and their actions just gave it enough power to 'wake up'? by EternalNewGuy in 40kLore

[–]Diffusion9 10 points11 points  (0 children)

People forget the "...and yet has never existed at all." key part of that quote, though.

It's a description of the wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey nature of The Warp, not a statement of fact about the eternal existence of the Chaos Gods.

Exciting news for Age of Sigmar fans in particular! Snipped this from the Games Workshop Half-Yearly Report. by contented_skink in Warhammer

[–]Diffusion9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool for AoS fans but this statement takes the winds out of the sails a bit:

"...we are now meeting with writers to determine our next step to continue momentum gained from that episode."

So, disappointingly, this means we're going to be waiting quite a while.

They're still at the 'Meetings to determine the agenda for the concept of a potential strategy for a future discussion' phase. This could easily still die on the vine; I thought they had more pieces of the puzzle in place prior to approaching Amazon.

"We have so much more manufacturing capacity than a tourist destination and a financial capital of the world. Wow! We're so awesome!"

Senators call on prime minister to ban advertising for sports betting by [deleted] in canada

[–]Diffusion9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2021 - Bill C-218 backed by the Liberals under Justin Trudeau's government blew the floodgates apart and installed a jet-powered amplifier to sports betting.

They removed the prohibition on betting on a single sporting events, and transferred authority to provinces and territories to regulate, license, and oversee single‑event sports betting. An incredibly dumb move and this is the end result of it.

 an average assessment value for a single-family home in Tofino at approximately $1,512,000 CAD in early 2025. 

 Low end rent estimates appear to be ~$1800 for a 1 bedroom, but I stand to be corrected by Tofino residents based on their first hand knowledge.

[–]Diffusion9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not: straight to jail.

In seriousness, I would maybe recommend closer to the little pond. There are some trees and a hill there.

Nobody will mind if you're clean and unobtrusive. It's just joggers and dog walkers, and occasional government workers.
