When entering the US, it's the US border guards who are doing the checks. Perhaps they should improve their own border security.

It's nice in theory, but if there's already a contract, who much is it going to cost to get out of it? You can't just "rip it up" and then act like it never existed.

Also, Ford has already backtracked on this with the 30 day extension on the tariffs.

"A better option for bike lanes, he thinks, would be the multi-use paths that often start completely off the word, like those on Woodlawn Road." This sounds reasonable

This is mocking all of Canada, rather than Trudeau.

One big problem with our voting system. If I do like the person running for a certain party locally, that means I'm effectively voting for the same party at the federal level. What if I think the federal leader is not the best choice?

Have their been reports or stories of these drug users harming children or doing drugs in the school yard rather than the safe consumption sites? Honest question, I don't know the answer.

I went from Guelph to Toronto recently for a baseball game with my partner. Via rail was somewhere between $40 and $50 (I forget the exact amount) per person each way. We drove instead.

In short, make transit a more viable option and maybe more people will use it.

You're misunderstanding what I was saying. You gave the example of VLC being a superior open source video player, compared to other video players. I pointed out that VLC has been in development for a lot longer, so has had a lot of time to become as loved as it is. It wasn't embraced in the earlier years of its existence the same way it is today.

Once Darktable has been in development for longer, then it can be compared the same way, not to VLC, but to other photo management software.

Also, oranges are better than apples. Another unfair comparison.

The UI features and functionality of a video player is a lot simpler than something like Darktable or Lightroom.

Calling it a guide is misleading. It's labeled as a list of alternatives and that's what it is. Audio books are an alternative to reading, but it's definitely not the same experience.

That's not really a fair comparison. VLC development started in 1996. Darktable was first released in 2009. Give Darktable another 13 years of development and then you can make that comparison.

 

It seems crazy how long the construction on York Rd has been going on for/will go on for. It really sucks for the businesses there and anyone living in the area
