That's the least of his crimes.

If a car must exist it might as well be electric,

That's an important bit of nuance.

Even if every province and city were to go all-in on prioritizing public transit over new car-focused infrastructure, we are decades away from transit being available at a scale to everyone who needs it. EVs are a practical interim solution.

And there will always be practical reasons for individual vehicles (contractors, service vehicles, delivery vehicles, rural places, etc) where public transit is not realistic, and those vehicles really need to move to EV.

Is it that Alberta has so many cases, or that RFK's health department has stopped reporting US cases?

Or some combination of both?

I've been using it for a few years now.

It is a fun addition to my daily walks.

And it helps encourage me to take different routes on those walks as I'm adding to new areas on the map!

Bus... like Greyhound?

That hasn't existed west of Ontario for... maybe a decade? I can't remember, it's been so long.

Or do you mean VIA rail, which has only 3 trains a week in this half of the country?

It's hard to embrace something that barely exists (or that stopped existing a very long time ago).

Considering what is known, Trumps proposal seems to be free trade for the US, tariffs for the "Privilege" of getting foreign products on US shelves, and no willingness to negotiate for anything less.

That is my take on it as well.

He is well known to take a "zero sum game" approach to pretty much every situation. The only way he can envision him winning is to make others lose.

The concept of mutually beneficial agreements seems like something that he cannot understand or accept.

2/3 of wildfires ARE started by humans, but not necessarily arson

But the distinction is a very important one.

The conspiracy nut jobs are claiming that the fires are intentionally set for some nefarious purpose, and that is a blatant lie.

We need to stay vigilant at pushing back against these conspiratorial lies.

They were doing that long before AI was a thing.

Maybe this wouldn't happen if they made more vehicles that don't need fuel pumps?

without first forcing him to live in Winnipeg

Hey! No fair.

What did Winnipeg ever do to you to deserve sending fuckwads like this here?

High tech doesn't have to be abusive.

No, but they regularly seem to choose that path.

And, I would assume, if anyone had done that training it would be FBI agents.

 

15th Progressive Conservative legislature member announces she won't run again

 

The trend isn't confined to the Bow Valley or even to Alberta. The federal government has temporarily eased limits on how many temporary foreign workers a business can hire in low-wage positions, and employers across Canada have increasingly made use of the program.

Stanley Cup (self.winnipeg)

So... who do you want to win the cup? Paul Maurice, after bailing out on us? Or Vegas, so we can say "at least we lost to the hardest team to beat"?
