I think Via needs to make substantial changes to become half-decent still, but that would still improve it.

Via Rail operations are at the mercy of CP and CN given their ownership (and lack of maintenance) of the tracks, though.

Brains? You think any of these people have the capacity for logical thought?

But how will that serve the Irvine Empire!?

There’s a fork called Tubular that implements SponsorBlock as well.

Tencent’s Arena Breakout is very similar to Tarkov. Like, watching it, you’d just think tarkov got a bit of an update. They don’t really care about IP unless it’s their own.

I remember a time where I really hesitated to help someone, and I realized that feeling of the 80%. “It’s not my problem. They’ll be fine. Someone else will help. I have things to do.” But what happens when we all think that?

It wasn’t emergent, an elderly man had fallen and gotten a bit tangled up in a shopping cart. No injuries and just needed some time to catch his breath. That feeling while walking away, knowing you helped someone though…it’s pretty special.

There were similar findings in Regina about 8 years ago. About $18,000 spent housing someone with about $73,800 saved on average between hospital, ER, detox, and policing (2017 dollars). Here’s another article on it from 2018.

The difference that a stable, safe, and secure place to live makes is quite obvious, it’s sad this can’t get more support everywhere.

I really hope this becomes the actual end of fossil fuels for common things, because we’ve demonstrated we are otherwise powerless against the oil barons, even when the end of the world is nigh.

I don’t really expect anything to be mainstream for a couple decades, but that’s better than never.

Lowest bid procurement has to stop.

One’s willingness to say, “I don’t know” and a general ability to think critically.

Just today, a friend was yammering on about a situation he clearly had limited information on (Canada Post strike). We’ve aptly described him as confidentially incorrect. Don’t be this person.

The $10/day daycare has been quite an improvement, however, there is definitely a lag in supply to meet the demand.

I do think a right to access to daycare with clear standards of education and care should exist. It really makes economic sense, both with more jobs in that industry, while also allowing parents to return to their jobs faster. They also wouldn’t need to choose between returning to work to barely offset the cost of daycare or just staying at home.

Read more than the headline, and social media posts arent news.

Yes, Charlie Kirk’s assassination sparked a conversation about the importance of free speech and disavowing political violence in parliament. The standing ovation was not for Charlie, but for the outcome of that speech.

Still, not very tactful and the speech could’ve definitely been written better to be clear that the call is for defence of free speech and denouncing political violence, rather than support of Kirk.

I feel like this is what the NDP needs to do to start becoming more popular. Go against the government status quo and make meaningful change that benefits working people.

I don’t follow US politics too closely, but I feel like this is what makes Mamdani an attractive leader.
