I doubt it would make sense, as our marketplace isn't large enough to support it alone. You would only do this to give you more access to the North American marketplace.

I look forward to hearing about Debt Carnage Carney next.

This is a misstep. You don't admit stuff like this on election campaigns.

I think Canadians are slowly coming to the realization this guy is nothing but a chode whiny-ass nerd.

Donald Trump is doing us a favour in a lot of ways.

I have no skin in this game, other than I'm a regular user of the area in the summer months. There's lots of other areas this city can enshitify, this area doesn't need to be one of them. As much as I loathe to hand Eagle Ridge any support, I'm against this one, and I think it was the right decision to stop it.

What's wrong with the last one? Nothing.

Quit buying this shit, unless you guys like buying the same game ten times over. Just a money grab, nothing else to see here.

Ah so this is why ol Tim was greasing Trump up. I'm sure this will be a hit. What is he going to tarriff next, iPhones?

Zero assistance. You could hand these guys the entirety of the Bank of Canada, and they'd be back at the trough next year because they blew it all. Yet crime growth is on a solid 100 degree slope.

It's pretty gimmicky for sure. The electronic setup on my road bike is pretty finicky too, id rather cables to be honest, but it's just the way everything is going. It especially sucks when you are at the door all geared up and ready to go, and realize that one of your batteries is dead.

Hell it takes me the rightful owner a fair bit of careful maneuvering to get that thing off the bars (my mount needs to be both twisted while having the release latch pressed). Someone would surely be getting a few smacks upside the head as they were trying to do that. A MIPS powered headbutt or two, as well.

Wait'll you find out about ebikes!

I mean it's all e-waste at this point. My bikes are all carbon, which ain't recyclable, plus the shifting is all electronic, and yeah my eMTB is a ticking timebomb that will be otherwise useless if either the battery or motor quits.

Honestly with the way the cycling industry has brainwashed most of the bicycle enthusiasts, they will have bought six different bicycles in the time this takes to break.

Otherwise, your point stands. I'm more of a Garmin Edge guy though, personally.

Reddit is just a symbol of end stage capitalism. If you support anything but some hive mind altered narrative, then it's a ban for you, and censorship for everyone else. It's fucking twisted as all get out. Ive been using it a bit lately, as political discourse requires it. It's so frustrating though, I'm glad that shit hasn't (largely) spread here. The fediverse is totally the way forward.
