so our government made a big deal about banning speed cameras but one city left theirs running to see what difference the ban would make and you are not going to believe this
But according to data shared by Coun. Rowena Santos — collected by speed cameras that were no longer distributing tickets but which were still capturing vehicle speeds - Brampton saw 71,258 speeding incidents from Nov. 16 to Nov. 22 in the areas where cameras were located. That compares to 31,581 incidents the week prior when the cameras were still distributing tickets.

I have such vivid memories of long car rides home from road trips as a kid, late at night, and this coming on the radio (so the DJ could go have a smoke or whatever), and my dad letting me sit in the car till it was done because I was so enamored with it. I don't know why I was born 50 years old.

Nov 23rd 1984 - Jack Ryan came to the conclusion that the rogue Soviet naval captain, Ramius (Sean Connery), plans to defect to the United States.

📽️📅 The Hunt for Red October (1990)
3 Screenshots from the movie "The Hunt for Red October" (1990): First, a green-on-black map with labeled locations like "Grand Banks" and "Nova Scotia," accompanied by text describing a Soviet submarine surfacing in November 1984. Second, a group of men in a dimly lit room, one of whom looks attentively as someone says, "Is today the 23rd?" and another responds, "Yeah." Third, a close-up of grainy, black-and-white surveillance photos showing Soviet figures, including a man in a military hat, projected or displayed on a screen.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.
Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.

I’m not an engineer, but if we already have unfavourable evidence from experts and those with lived experience doing tunnelling under the 401 that we should probably listen and divert the funds from Ford’s Fantasy Tunnel to other projects.

"they don't know" meme template: the SS Edmund Fitzgerald is standing in the corner with a party hat on and saying "They don't know I'm the pride of the American side" two people dancing: yes we do. there's a song about it two other people dancing: does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

Hi Bluesky 👋

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵
