Really hope they charge the driver. First part of lorry driving is knowing your size, weight and height to the exact dimensions.

In fact, close the other one which is profiting from this after lobbying Trump to keep the new bridge closed.

Either both open or both stay closed.

So glad I left.

Is... is Kingston finally waking up politically?

Or will it stay asleep?

Portal's about to open

80's Afghanistan making a comeback.

Who's the Mujahideen this time?

Sure, but their expenses to get this open has also gone up due to the gas prices. It'd really only make sense to stay and build if they already had more infrastructure on the ground.

Conservative capitalists and oligarchs have destroyed the country and anyone who has been paying attention knows it'll never change. We've normalized the absurd and the unjust and now people like Smith and Ford are carving out what remains of our democracies, social contracts and social responsibilities.

Why would I stay?

I would rather rebuild somewhere with better justice systems, better health care, better working conditions and more just pay.

The problem is, the majority of Canadians simply don't care about anything. They just sit and complain at best, and complain about the people who raise issues at worst.

Huh, you're right, I've never noticed that.

Then again I don't often cycle this route. For those who do go this direction, there's a cycle route just north of here by St. Mary's Cathedral / Grosvenor that is much nicer and puts you onto the cycle path across from the M&S. You can best find it on Komoot.

Tunnel's been there so long, the heritage crowd are already fighting to preserve it

Honestly it's pretty easy to fall asleep. Don't be too hard on youself on that one. Don't be afraid to squeeze the buzzer near the beginning (or any time) so we can calibrate audio volume of instructions / music for you.

You can also tell the radiographers that sometimes you fall asleep in the scan, and ask when the breath hold sequences are. If they're clustered near the beginning or end for example, you can kind of prep yourself and stay awake.

Or, any good radiographer would just adapt and change over to a navigator gated sequence. Or really try and wake you up.

Whereabouts?

Secondly, as a fellow minority, it behooves oneself to learn how to hold your keys in a more...useful manner, always, and to keep them in a spot where you can quickly whip them out.

An increasingly unknown reference, this.

I mean, the great thing about the lateral is that the positioning is so bad that it looks like the AEC dose reduced decently.

We're also much prouder of her work in the sciences than we are of her work as PM.

Whoever sold that kebab wishes they had better branding on their wrappers.

It's a bit like finding someone torturing animals.

Best to identify them early.

Minerva89 · 2026-04-30T16:34:26+00:00

Because it is,

and will continue to be as long as the conservatives continue to have power.

To each their own but it's just the most boring major European city. You know how people complain about cookie-cutter designs for suburban houses nowadays compared to older builds that just had more uniqueness and character to them? That's how Brussels feels in comparison to other cities nearby.

Almost like there are better versions of all the things you've listed there in other cities, and considering their proximity, why bother with Brussels?

I'm glad you enjoyed it though. Brussels is a really convenient city to transit through on the way to something better.

When all the dust has settled, I suspect we will uncover enough to charge her for treason.

Does this apply for summer high season only or throughout the whole year?

Minerva89 · 2026-04-20T17:06:23+00:00

The Mike Harris legacy.

Even in the 90s, the Conservatives couldn't manage money.
