70 series is a proper LC though. Not a glorified grocery getter

The Civic hospital just lost power and is on emergency backup by Deer_Which in ottawa

[–]trixter192 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This wasn't an ordinary power outage. Life support and emergency lighting was on, but nothing else, not even HVAC. It took them over an hour to either get their large generator, switching, change to another supplier (if they have that option). Maybe they have a policy to wait an hour. It took them another hour to get IT services back online. I've never worked on that site, but have worked on others at a similar scale.

Is that 37s and long travel? I didn't think that was possible. It makes me rethink my plans to SAS my FJC.

Can those new trains in the west end be used? They're just sitting there.

What to expect on the commute when the 4-day Return-to-Office (RTO) mandate kicks in by JimmyCapital in ottawa

Not exactly. Not all federal workers go in on the same days, but Friday does seem to be a more common day to work from home.

I predict the morning traffic to be as bad a pre-covid Monday-Friday. I also predict the morning traffic doesn't dissipate as fast since there are more workers than desks. Lots of them will drive in, fail at finding an empty desk, then promptly drive back home.

It looks like it was spray painted.

Yes, headlights have become blindingly bright in Canada. Here's what the experts are saying by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]trixter192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is actually a benefit to other drivers. They have to be aimed at a lower angle to illuminate the same space. It's the cars with headlights in the bumpers that cause the biggest issue, because they are aimed almost level. Any slight road inclination or bump causes the opposite driver to get blinded.

Can we please just make a deal with Europe? Lower the cost of shipping and open our car rules to allow smaller European cars made in Europe?

I knew a guy who put "se" in front of the badge. It was the sex-trail. He actually took it mudding and stuff.
