It would be terrible for our country, just look at the impact the mere thought of tarrifs has had on our economy. A full renegotiation of the US Canada trade border would be chaos.

Europeans are cool and I wish we had your public transit, but EU membership of a NA country will never happen.

Any GPS signals in that region of the world are being jammed, so this is probably a result of that. It's not actually flying over Ukraine

Genuinely curious, what makes a VPN not completely anonymous? Are you talking browser cookies and fingerprinting?

The Canadian economy is also about to crash hard, unfortunately. Possibly worse than the US thanks to our incoming mortgage crisis

We need far fewer condos in this country. They're practically a scam that lures people in with the promise of "equity". The vast majority of condos have terrible energy performance because first cost is all that the buyer cares about.

Are you implying that we should be openly trading with NK and funding their government? Seriously?

3D Printed pipe fittings have to be one of the worst 3D printing applications I've ever heard of. We use metal fittings for a reason.

It's a nice sentiment, but unfortunately we live in a world where public transit infra is scrutinized much harder than roadways. At least with toll roads the extra cost burden isn't passed onto taxpayers who don't drive.

YouTube recommended it to me in my sidebar a few days ago. I imagine the curse word in the title has more to do with the algorithmic suppression than the actual content.

Vancouver doesn't need high speed intercity service, it needs to improve the existing sad excuse for a regional rail network

 

This has got to be the widest desire path I've ever seen, but I'm excited to know if anyone has seen bigger. To my knowledge it's been here for at least 15 years.

Lemmings of Canada,

I just found out about the fediverse canvas event.

I have to assume that a Canadian flag with a horribly mangled maple leaf will show up somewhere, but I'm not sure if anyone has decided on a spot yet. ~~There's a large red box growing on the right side of the canvas that we could try to take over but that might be a little ambitious.~~

Just realized that red box is for us! Let's go Canada, I believe in our ability to draw a maple leaf.
