I’m actually gonna get out of my replies and use this story to highlight something that I haven’t for a while: the complete lack of transparency and communication from our public agencies in B.C./Canada. So here’s a thread

What's hilarious about this Brad Bradford nonsense argument is that we are paying a billion dollars and screwing up the eastern waterfront for generations to repair the east Gardiner in order to save far fewer drivers even less time!
But drivers count and transit riders don't!

"Even if the estimates are correct, I don't believe shaving as little as three minutes off the average transit trip is worth the impact on businesses, local residents and drivers — that's in keeping with Steve Munro's perspective as well," says Councillor Brad Bradford of RapidTO.

Never considered what the demonym would be for people of Kansas City. Makes sense they don't confuse things by calling themselves Kansas Citizens but it's a little funny to have to use "Citians." As always, Glasgow has the best one. People from KC could be Kanswegians!
Kansas City will compost hundreds of thousands of tons of food waste for use on gardens and to grow food. Kansas Citians can now bring their food scraps to one of 50 bins around the city. https://loom.ly/7a7TRrg
Kansas City will start turning food waste into compost as area landfills near capacity
In a new partnership with a company that provides high-tech garbage cans that turn food into compost, Kansas City will compost hundreds of thousands of tons of food waste for use on gardens and to grow food. Kansas Citians can now bring their food scraps to one of 50 bins around the city.

I feel like when gamers talk about hobbies they mean just consuming media.
Absolutely laughable to call gaming "one of the most expensive hobbies around" because a video game costs ten dollars more. Gamers are children and should be treated with distain.

Have to wonder what the national reaction would be to Toronto wanting to become its own Province. Surely the concerns of millions of people would be taken seriously.

But it's not ironic. Threats from America and anti-Americanism are embedded all throughout our history. It might be the thing that most *consistently* unites us.
How ironic it is that it took a malignantly narcissistic American president to unite Canadians.
