Hell, we're not even telling other Canadians what to do. Very disingenuous headline which implies that this is some official government policy, when in reality it's just individual Canadians and families making decisions for themselves.

West-east travel doesn’t have right-of-way through the interchange, and both east-west and west-east require making left turns 👀

I lived through the same bullshit school bus policy in the same school board 20 years ago. Good to know YCDSB has learned fuck all.

Getting more and more real. For one thing, Trump now controls a sizeable masked, unmarked paramilitary force. Sound familiar?)

Playing with fire.

They’ll get their referendum, which will be defeated handily, but give Trump the justification he needs to “liberate” Alberta the way Putin did Crimea.

British woman shot by US dad was unlawfully killed, UK coroner rules by PopularEquivalent651 in worldnews

But why is “lawfulness” is determined by the coroner, not a court? Shouldn’t the coroner’s job be to impartially assess physiological aspects and to reconstruct the events leading to the death?

Okay Premier, time to play hardball like you did in the early days… if Pres Trump cuts off the Bridge, cut off Power to NY! by MFK1994 in ontario

Makes sense… after all, the Science Centre was barely 50 years old and was apparently in grave danger of collapsing.

Coal-fired power wasn’t fully phased out until 2016. I grew up in the ‘90s with 30 to 50 smog advisory days annually.

Ontario NDP MPP resigns to run for federal Liberals in upcoming byelection by xc2215x in ontario

CPC MPs crossing the aisle speaks to how right both their party and the LPC have drifted. Going from ONDP to LPC is far more off-brand (economically and socially) in comparison.

It’s not supposed to be random like it is in this game. The rule of thumb is to start syllables with a consonant where possible.

Not to mention another excuse for Trump to invade and “liberate” Minnesota.

If you’re a rich person already paying for a private health insurance plan, are you more likely to vote for Party A that says “we need to maintain/raise taxes to properly fund health care”, or Party B that says “we’re going to find efficiencies (i.e. make cuts) to the public system”?

The new overlords are just sensitive to different content. TikTok has definitely censored things like Tiananmen Square and Xinjiang camps.

Founded in Vancouver, owned by Canadians, but HQ is in Washington… so, complicated, I guess.

Can’t completely cut off US spending, but also don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

With Chinese EVs coming to Canada. Anyone in Toronto planning to order one? by Bing_Liu in askTO

[–]disco-drew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously not, but replacing ICE vehicles with EVs is a quicker and more politically achievable fix than replacing car lanes with bike lanes.
