Except in Saskatchewan where only Rogers has built their own towers. Bell and Telus lease SaskTel’s infrastructure. Source: I work at SaskTel.

Bicycles are supposed to ride on the road (not sidewalk) yes? So why are they being limited to a speed that is actively disruptive to traffic? Going 30 in a 50 zone means you are going 20km/h under the limit, which is considered disruptive and is actuality a ticket-worthy offense if you are in a car. So why are bikes being limited to that? This makes no sense. If you don’t want bike lanes and want bikes to ride with traffic, then they need to be able to flow with the speed of traffic. Absolute mindless nonsense! It’s safer to be going the speed of traffic than to be going slower and have an impatient car try to get past the slow AF cyclist.

The worst option is continuing to change the clocks. Both daylight and standard time are better options with only a slight advantage to standard time over daylight. Choosing not to change the clocks at all is the far more beneficial step. Which time they choose to stay on is a much smaller benefit.

At least it didn’t turn into “well we can’t agree on which time we want, so we won’t stop changing the clocks at all.” Which is what happened in Alberta quite a while ago and is absolutely ridiculous. Stop changing the clocks! Either time is better than the flip-flop.

Why let perfect be the enemy of progress?

I’ve lived my whole life in Saskatchewan on Daylight time. It’s fine. Everyone else in Saskatchewan that I know is fine. The changing clocks is worse than staying on Daylight time.

Why the hell is this even a thing? 100%?! That’s just a cash grab plain and simple. No good reason for that.

Yup, not surprised.

The only kind of app that has the ability to change UI element appearances are launchers. So you’d need to use a whole new launcher to theme the UI.

Golf carts (or e-bikes) don’t work so well in the prairies in the winter when it’s -20 (or colder) outside and there’s several cm of snow on the ground. They aren’t meant for getting through snow, and they don’t have a heated cabin. Don’t get me wrong, I would love better options for small drives, but winter exists in other provinces. By the time you get an enclosed, heated, snow-capable vehicle, you are looking at basically a car anyway. We need to focus on EV charging station access so that people who live in an apartment like me, can use and charge EV’s.

$2B wouldn’t build very much rail. Taking into account all of the prep, equipment, labour costs, etc. $2B won’t go very far. Building rail is not easy or cheap.

Carbon taxes do work. When we don’t carve out exceptions.

Carbon pricing has successfully reduced GHG emissions internationally:

• The US has two separate cap-and-trade systems that are reducing emissions.
• The UK is on track to fully phase out coal; its carbon tax is cited as the primary driver of this phase-out.
• The European Union’s Emissions Trading System, since its inception, is responsible for between one third and one half of the region’s emissions reductions.
• Sweden has the world’s highest carbon tax; ten years after bringing it in (2001), emissions were as much as 25% lower than they would otherwise be.

I’ve used saily when I went on a trip to the Dominican Republic for 10 days. I didn’t need a lot of data, just enough for maps outside the resort, etc. But it was crazy affordable, and their customer support was prompt, friendly, and helpful when I needed a bit of assistance with the activation.

All in all, I’d use saily again in the future.

Signed, thank you for sharing.

I see declining birth rates as a good thing. There’s too many humans and we abuse our planet. If we die out, so be it. I personally have refused to have children because I don’t want to subject a child to this. Maybe our population can decline to something more easily sustained in the future with clean energies and healthy foods. But right now with UPFs making us sick, climate change destroying our ecosphere, and general corporate greed and lobbying taking us for every penny we have, I do not think it fair to subject a new child to that.

While not legally binding, the opinion is expected ‌to be cited in climate-related legal cases worldwide.

So… Still just meaningless and toothless posturing then… Got it.

Quad9 is fine. Don’t let that user scare you. Here’s a quote from Quad9’s own privacy policy section regarding data sales:

2.3 Sharing of data

Traditionally 2 spaces after the period at the end of a sentence is correct. It is still considered correct to this day, though is the “old” method.

1 space is not the only correct way.

The first EV’s coming into Canada via the new Chinese agreement are definitely not value priced vehicles. The low price tag isn’t a requirement of the agreement for several more years. For now, high priced vehicles like the lotus car with a price tag that contains 6 digits (!) Is what is coming over. Honda could pre-empt that, but for some reason are choosing not to. I will not be purchasing a Chinese EV, and wish I could get one from Honda instead. This just reduces my options.

That seems a bit extreme. A single loss year doesn’t mean immediate collapse. Honda has always been synonymous with reliability and I have no doubt’s that their reputation along with them pausing projects that aren’t likely to give good returns (like the EV plant as much as it sucks), will help them rebound.
