It’s a Skill issue, just don’t speed, it’s literally so easy. If you can’t control your speed just take the bus or a taxi!!

They should be made to support Canadian food banks with at-cost bread and shelf stable food until they pay off the fine. Gift cards are just insulting.

The electric vehicles we should be subsidizing are trolley busses and trams. Or, if we want Future Technology Self Driving Hype we can invest in the original electric self driving vehicle, the electric metro train with ATC. Not some dentist-ass Lexus that’s still going to sit in traffic and make life miserable for everybody else.

Ah lovely, another grey egg shaped “luxury” electric EV. Groundbreaking. This one has some nationalism attached to it too.

These won’t really solve any problem, other than in the best case scenario keeping some people employed in southern Ontario. If we actually want to increase our independence or even become climate leaders this isn’t how to do it.

Yeah, real “efficiency” would come from standardizing tools and procedures, getting rid of “shadow IT”, making annual budget requests more flexible (ie if we don’t use it this year we won’t get it next year), and empowering the workers to make more decisions and initiatives without involving committees, managers, etc.

They are not doing that. It’s not about efficiency, it’s a libertarian crusade to strip out anything valuable from the public sector and leave what’s left to rot.

My grandfather had a stroke at 81. He did not in fact become an asshole, he just got a little slower and spent less time working on his old truck. This is 100% on fetterman for having shitty opinions and being bitterly dug in. I don’t think it’s fair to all the wonderful people affected by strokes to give him that out.

Terry Fox, Red Green, Bob & Doug, an angry goose, literally anybody other than that guy.

Local options are always better. The Mexican joint sells you a massive breakfast burrito for $6. Nepalese takeout will feed you for days for $16. Hot dog truck will fill you up with delicious processed meat for $4.

Subway? Subpar lunch made out of cardboard and ground up yoga mats for almost $20.

It sort of does make sense, since it’s how trains work so well! A single locomotive can haul dozens of carriages way more efficiently than putting a single small motor on each carriage. It also has way less aerodynamic losses since the trailer is right in the slipstream for the truck!

Right, but we have ways to require all automakers to build safe vehicles, commonly known as “safety regulations” that apply to both foreign and domestic companies. The same minimum requirements apply to a Toyota built in Woodstock or a VinFast built in Vietnam. That has nothing to do with tariffs, which are just a tax on consumers on foreign imports. This has nothing to do with protecting Canadians and everything to do with protecting big business.

Not surprised that the guy who idolized Trump turned out to also be a nonce. As somebody who used to live in Aurora ON, fuck this guy.

Real estate about to go brrrrrrr. The largely landlord-represented government again looks for its own interests first.

If they did this to me I would immediately drag my locked up cart to the customer service desk and return everything. Hard no. Not buying my groceries from a place that aspires to be a prison.

We need to break up the grocery conglomerates. Nowhere else in the world is the food system so heavily monopolized and vertically integrated. Go tell an American about Cara Foods/Recipe Unltd[1] — they won’t believe you!

It depends. I’d say on average it’s higher for “convenience” items but the cost of milk, cheese, rice, pantry staples, etc seems to be about the same.

If there was a food basics nearby I’d probably go there, but in my city that means driving another 15 minutes.

My wife and I have been spitefully avoiding loblaws for a while now. We get most of our meat & produce from the weekend market, bread from the local bakery, and anything else from the Asian/Indian supermarket or Metro if it can’t be found elsewhere.

The last straw was the prison gates and the receipt checking. Show some dignity.

Wow, you mean tying our entire nation’s success to a speculative real estate market was a bad idea?

I guess this is the next chapter in the endless middle-east war. The British & French got exactly what they wanted when they drew up those borders. It’s truly tragic how many people are going to die in the next decade because of religious and nationalistic despots and their egos.

This appears to be some Philly folklore with no real source other than a silly Onion article from the 90s. It’s possible the Onion was spoofing a real thing that happened, or somebody just made it all up. It’s very funny either way.

It bums me out that the Ontario flag is so bad. It would take like 10 minutes to throw the trillium on the same background as the national flag and have something unique and with less monarchy ick. The current logo is a bit corporate but it would be fine.
