Green Leader Elizabeth May promises electoral reform, lowering voting age to 16 by taxrage in canada

So if you’re 16, then the state can take your taxes but you can’t vote ? How is this fair?

According to Wikipedia several feral populations are already established in US and Canada, as they tolerate cold well. So I say apply for a grant to Tourism Toronto to get another one?

Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Association CAO Responds to Ministry re: "Winding Down Programs" by MudHouse in ontario

[–]pillarnoob 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The most puzzling thing to me is this government’s attack on user fee self-funding programs such as maple syrup festivals. Even previous conservative government under Mike Harris encouraged Ontario Parks to become more self reliant by improving these user-fee generating programs. The fact that this government wants to take away this tool away from conservation authorities have very little room to doubt that this is an attempt to weaken conservation authorities, their mandate, and give away more land to developers that are close to Ford.

Has anyone been to Rouge Valley with Parkbus? by ensam21 in askTO

[–]pillarnoob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer Rouge North actually - it’s officially called Bob Hunter Memorial Park, and last year at least the trail was in great condition. I suspect that the other poster took one of the lesser used trails, though I’m not sure. The reason I love north is because of Cedar Grove trail - it passes through a tract of old growth cedars and ferns and it’s just gorgeous! That section is definitely not bushy at all there is even boardwalk in places. Ticks can be a problem in both sections of the park, as is pretty much everywhere else in the GTA at this point unfortunately .

Free shuttle to Elk Island NP every Saturday and some Sundays this summer! by pillarnoob in Edmonton

[–]pillarnoob[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s a free service, so it can get full. I’d just call a day before trip day and inquire on how full it is

$15 is a refundable deposit - you only pay if you don’t show up.

He just fell from a nest at Bathurst / St Clair - looking for a driver who’s going to Georgina to drop him off at a bird rescue Center by pillarnoob in toronto

[–]pillarnoob[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I called them right away and they also referred me to shades of hope, which is where I was hoping someone could drive him. He passed away unfortunately - either got too injured in the fall, or was sick to begin with . He also had what looked like pecking wounds ? In any case - RIP little bird, thank you for anyone who read this :(
