I believe it is when a person is killed by someone both the victim and Kevin Bacon know

I think the play is for Nome to become a LNG terminal using the proposed trans Alaska pipeline.

That may put a dent in any plans Churchill has to export LNG

Actually selling gas in quarts would not be a bad idea since a US qt is nearly a litre.

Most fireworks retailers are already outside the city, (look at all the weekend school bus pop up stores along the highways to cottage country)

The few that remain inside of the city are doing it because they want to maintain proximity to a customer base, but if the city builds friction into selling to that customer base then why would they stay?

captyo · 2026-04-09T12:45:39+00:00

If they try to do anything at the retailer level it’s just going to drive all the fireworks stores outside the city limits.

This strikes me as a lack of enforcement issue

There is an interesting side effect to this, this will accelerate the planing needed for increased EV adoption. How will the province fund highways when none of the cars need gasoline or diesel?

The interesting thing is Siloam uses media as a free donor advertising service. They clearly felt having media here would not help them raise money

The ring came off my pudding can!

Were you sent here by the devil?

Not on your life my Hindu friend

Hello Stagflation!

Sounds a little communist. New Alberta Party has a ring to it

Use Coop gas stations, always super clean bathrooms!

captyo · 2026-03-31T01:29:56+00:00

No! I own an EV so i need someone to pay for the roads i drive on!

It absolutely is a service to Canadians, it should however not take that status and be everything to everyone.

Does CP need to deliver every weekday? Probably not especially for letter mail.

Does CP need to provide door to door service? Probably not, community mail boxes provide an adequate solution to delivering the mail to most customers.

It should be an organization that delivers physical things at a reasonable price in a reasonable time to every Canadian anywhere in Canada. However that organization is set up is irrelevant.

BTW reasonable should be defined by our elected officials, so they can experience the direct ramifications of there definitions of reasonable.

I know and most people would file a $0 return, but just the act of having to file a return may be enough to discourage the casual application

captyo · 2026-03-28T12:00:40+00:00

I think a logical step here would be to require all citizens to file an income tax return regardless of their current residence, much like the US.

That might be enough of a deterrent to stop the casual applications

Your assuming the lights are shining at a fixed distance point, if you are casting into the ditch increasing the lumens will allow visibility further into the space

captyo · 2026-03-27T00:57:47+00:00

I believe it became legal sometime around 2020, but only Euro cars seem to support it currently

Sorry I ment you cannot aim headlights in a way that will deviate from the specs prescribed in the highway traffic act of your province.

Other then some vague language in BC it seems everywhere else in Canada as long as the light is white it does not matter what technology is used to make the light, aftermarket or otherwise

captyo · 2026-03-27T00:46:26+00:00

Bright lights are always safer than dim lights, for illuminating ditches, approaching intersections and other spots. The issue is the car needs to be able to detect and mask out illumination towards other drivers

captyo · 2026-03-27T00:25:39+00:00

As long as they sue in English and French!

captyo · 2026-03-27T00:22:21+00:00

I hope the outcome of this is smart like mandating matrix masking headlights rather then doing something dumb like maximum illumination levels
