CTV asked Minister Sarkaria about these speeds and he spent nearly 7 minutes claiming that speed bumps were the answer. But when the reporter asked the Minister how many speed bumps the government would install on Parkside between Bloor and Lakeshore, there was no answer.

I can't really say anything more than these numbers. If you're removing the camera and not replacing it with anything, you are accepting that this will continue.

"Safe Parkside" filed a Freedom of Information request to get top speeds from the ill-fated & much abused Parkside camera. The speed limit is 40km/h.

Killers, all of them, with the ear & heart of Premier Doug Ford.

For our American friends who may not understand the perspective of Canadians when discussing the threats against us. This should help.

I made my myself not one, but two grilled cheese sandwiches today.

Country Harvest sugar free bread, Black Diamond cheese and margarine.

And some slices of Maple Leaf sliced chicken.

And a whack of French's ketchup.

So damn good!

A) Out of line and over extended with this shooting boats thing.

B) Losing it's supremacy to China.

Time to add Jeep to the blacklist.
Stellantis says they have plans for the factory and are in talks with the Feds.
Doug Ford needs to step up too and do more than use it as a photo-op.

I don't understand why Hamas who slow role the release of dead hostages.

I feel like that are having trouble locating and transporting them, rather than some attempt at leverage.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

This must rank as one of the more hilarious headlines I have seen in a long time.
Nothing like the political media in Ottawa for continually missing the moment as we watch democracy and the rule of law disintegrate on our unguarded border.

Trying to remember the last time I held an actual newspaper in my hands and read it.

Must be at least 10 years, maybe more.

MAGA still thinks that they don't pay the tariffs, and that recent price increases are Biden's fault.

Fixed a typo.
So the RCAF knows there is a need for the ability to land their fighter jets on roadways.
Gripens can do that too. On an even shorter piece of road.
With only a minimal ground crew (a couple of vehicles) to refuel and reload it in 20 minutes or less.
This is something an F35 can't do.

Porn drove the home video and TV market, I guess it will drive AI as well.

I don't get it. Just go meet people, be nice, and have consensual sex.

It's not that hard, and it's a lot of fun.

A lot of fun.

Oh my.
