We shouldn't have to put up with this. We have the technology to prevent this deadly, incredibly infectious disease from spreading but we are allowing ourselves and our children to be oppressed by morons

It will never make sense to me that transit vehicles are heated beyond the point of comfort for passengers who are almost invariably dressed to be outside

Your neighbours wife and kids are still nice, so you feel a little bad. But going over to their house simply does not spark joy, and you are waiting for them to figure things out amongst themselves before making the effort to go visit them again.

You used to regularly hang out with your neighbour across the street for chats and drinks. But then that neighbour started taking crazy pills, shit on your front lawn, threaten and shout obscenities at you.
So you simply don’t cross the street to chat any more. That does not require “effort”.

Random federal priority, no?
The White Rock Pier is an iconic B.C. destination and economic driver. MP Klassen and the community have been working to restore and preserve it.
So, we’re investing to revitalise the pier in Budget 2025 — with more local infrastructure projects across Canada that will build communities strong.

Almost certainly Seattle. Population went from 600k->800k, the city went from no rail system to a top-10 busiest network, region became an absolute economic powerhouse, there’s a total transformation of the waterfront, and so much more

My question is simple: What about those who design, approve, build and maintain hostile road design? Do they have a role?

A crossing guard was killed by the driver of a dump truck yesterday. absolutely heartbreaking.
Look at our intersections, look how hostile these are for people/children - this is what we continue to build and defend at all costs. These aren't accidents, these are results. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Why are people so mad? The budget proposes a zero per cent property tax freeze, which means around $120 million in "efficiencies" likely needing to be found. But there aren't a lot of details about the possible cuts, because staff had to prep the budget in a hurry in response to council direction.

City politics fun in Vancouver #YVR 🇨🇦
I'm tuning back in to the marathon "people's filibuster" as people are calling it - 600 speakers, most of them opposed to ABC's proposed budget, are continuing to speak - carried over from yesterday. #vanpoli

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

We're gonna build a pipeline for every possible liquid before we build meaningful passenger rail. Maybe it's time to accept that we must be puréed and shoved into a tube in order to travel across this country.
