I do support building out social housing - Austria is an excellent example of how to do it well… but these houses don’t exist yet so I have concerns about how public transit would be until they did - lowering the cost and adding more provincial funding today would help immediately.
Public transit should be nearly free - but I do think there’s one main argument in favor of keeping it from being completely free - safety. Without a token charge, and with a lack of adequate shelters, busses are one of the most reliable shelters from weather and if folks flock to it to stay cool/dry/warm then it’ll make it feel less safe especially for vulnerable folks including single women and the elderly.
We absolutely need to move beyond this dumbass neoliberal idea that public transit should be self funding, though.
Hey, as the saying goes, nobody was ever fired for running up an astronomical AWS bill.
New West is officially trying to move to being a 15 minute city but Burnaby remains a village composed entirely of sprawl - we need to get more serious as a province.

Both Trump/Vance are our best chance at getting Harris/Walz elected.
I also want to absolutely clarify that I’m not in favor of assassination but… this is a terrible argument. I’d much rather it was Harris/Walz vs. like… Romney/McCain or some other more boring corporate focused GOP folks. Trump is uniquely able to destroy our cultural norms and usher in really fucking heinous policies in a way we haven’t seen before so it’d be excellent if he wasn’t even on the ticket.
How do you pronounce ghoti?
You don’t.
As much as we might like to say terms can be reclaimed the judge of that is the listener… you need to comprehend how all the people you’re talking to or who hear your words repeated will feel about it - just avoid derogatory terms.
Just to clarify something… having a full bag doesn’t mean it’ll explode in flames or anything like that (normally at least) - it just means your vacuum won’t vacuum… there’s no place for the dirt to go so the vacuum just lifts the dirt and spreads it across your floor.
You might as well just stop vacuuming.

Can you clarify… when you say “changed” do you mean emptied or replaced?
Operator overloads are excellent for readable code when used well - I object to their inclusion on this list.
Canada should intervene… and nationalize them if the strike happens for failing to provide the service they promised to when they were privatized.
