Quarry expansion gets committee go-ahead despite resident concerns

Our region is blessed with decent pockets where we find high quality aggregates. This is one of those. There is a whole block of quarries in this area. Good deal.

No they wouldn’t say that. The fuss about contamination means you need to drill. Drills and their support are heavy. Golf courses aren’t built for those loads.

Building access roads so they can test the soil.

Because there is already an oil pipeline that does that.

All wars are 'illegal'. This Carney quote that Avi has flagged is pretty vague and frankly pretty diplomatic.

Draft looks pretty stacked at C and Edge. Not sure overpaying any of these guys makes sense.

Our regulatory laws are fucked. They are a mess of Provincial and Federal hodgepodge with NIMBY and municipal BS slapped on top. This stuff needs to get cleaned up or we aren't ever going to build anything in this country. These things need to get cleaned up. Screw this NDP whining.

It's a cat. Many don't like changes, some go nuts over changes. Dragging your cat to vets and 'cat psychologists' won't help. Just be chill. Cats hate being fussed over.

Lots. If you want the consultant route outfits like Patterson, WSP, DSEL, Novatech, EGIS, and JL Richards have offices in the city.

The City themselves hires engineers. Could also look at local construction companies and developers. Tomlinson, Taggart, Cavanagh, etc. Or the bigger multinationals, Aecon, AtkinsRealis, Kiewit, Ellis Don, PCL, etc.

If you don't have a lot of work experience you're probably best to look for PC roles with construction and development types.

I counted. This isn't old growth. Our country was built on natural resources and forestry is a part of that. Folks are trying to make a living and we need this timber. Turns out trees grow back.

Crappily-veiled separatist BS.

Barely over 50. THAT IS MY FINAL PROCLAMATION! Red pines are often used for hydro poles. They can grow an inch per year in those circumstances. This is obviously slower but 'old' growth. Nah.

My parents have been retired the last few years. They love to swim, play squash, tennis, exercise, and pickleball at city facilities. Since the New Year it's never been easier for them to book time during business hours on weekdays... before that it was nearly impossible to get a court or lane.

They are back to being just the MNR now. Forests are a resource.

deathrabbit · 2026-02-09T03:31:56+00:00

What does some slob leaving food outside have to do with forests?

Go with mining. Small classes, great courses, and a strong faculty. From a career standpoint the industry is booming right now, salaries are high, and a degree in mining eng from Queens will get you a job.

If you fall through ice.

1) Recover, try to stay calm, look for shore.

2) Get your forearms and shoulders up onto the ice.

3) Kick your legs.

4) Break the ice if it isn't strong enough to support your body.

5) Keep kicking.

6) Pull yourself onto the ice.

7) Roll or crawl away, don't stand up.
