BC’s housing catalogue seems way nicer nicer and was released in half the time.

You mean basic milk?

“Restore merit, end DEI” says man who could only get elected in Canada’s safest Conservative stronghold

Plain language crusader here. If some people are unaware that antifa means anti-fascist then use "anti-fascist". If a term needs an explanation, use a different term. Make no room for confusion (or excuses) during an emergency.

I love how this article describes coop housing as the condo’s cousin! It’s so clear and simple.

I keep hearing people being unsure of what coop housing is and describing it as social housing. There seems to be a lot of confusion and misconceptions.

I can’t think of a single celebrity podcast I’ve listened to- I know other people must listen to them but I feel like there must be other people with no interest in listing to celebrities just because.

Maybe it will be means tested? In that their program will only serve children whose families can prove a blood connection to the oil and gas industry.

Tell me the Nobel committee isn't deliberately sticking it to Shtrumpf.

This gives me a new appreciation for Rockstar’s inclusion of the KKK as thoroughly inept minor antagonists in RDR2.

Thinking more on it, that would be a really bold game to make now with such political messages as it had.

Please everyone buy my latest book which is all about this problem and how we can fix it. It has, of course, been ignored by the mainstream press.

Meanwhile in Toronto

-buy durable clothes made from ethical and sustainable fibres instead of fast fashion brands

Show a person some numbers, make them think for a day. Get a person to educate themselves on Saskatchewan’s ridiculous political financing laws, maybe they can stop being an idiot.

But realistically, limited on digits, and internet search exists.

Once again, speed cameras work.
(This is data from Ottawa, published in 2024.)

This correlates with my experience of going to Scotland and driving in a city with a 20 MPH speed limit just one time.

Not the running for office part though.
