Yes, I do enjoy fries from the smurf orgy.

Imagine if the powers that be cared about this as much as they seem to care about AI. It's time to stop acting like other energy sources are the future.

Canada Post delivers to 17.6 million addresses every day (business and residential). At 260 work days per year, that is 4.57 billion deliveries each year. Over eight years, that is 36 billion mail deliveries in 8 years.

Canada post delivered mail 36 billion times and it only cost $6.1 billion.

That's it? $6.1B in eight years? We gave Ukraine $25B in four and didn't even get daily mail out of it.

Yes, Doug Ford, Quebec bought private jets — but not for the premier's travels | CBC News Last week, Ontario’s premier pointed to a fleet of Quebec government-owned planes as justification for having his own private aircraft. But Quebec’s premier has no such private plane. We got to the bo...

"There is no government plane for the premier’s exclusive travel, according to a spokesperson for the premier’s office. They said the jets Ford was referring to are used for medical transport."

I seriously screwed up Perth. Otherwise...

Careful. Too many steps and those jeans won't be so baggy.

Lol well, that's really just the NHL saying "fuck Canada" rather than anything the Pens did.

???

Both these teams are fighting for the chance to be swept in round 2, just figured the Pens might put up a one last dance type of fight.

But if they rattle off the next three as wins, I also won't be shocked.

The only real shocking thing about the Penguins performance through two games is that the Flyers aren't very good either.

This isn't a Leafs performance though. The Leafs play well the first couple games and then it falls apart.

Old?

I maintain that had they put the plane in the budget and made a reasoned business case that the Ontario government needed a plane, they'd probably get one. There is a case (we can debate if it's a good one).

They didn't try, thinking they'd get away with it, and so it seems shady.

Wow. Almost like you hold public office and scrutiny is part of the job.

The part you keep avoiding until we get the courts involved.

Canadian doctors obeying a U.S. executive order that doesn’t even apply to Canada is deeply offensive to both trans people and to Canadian legal sovereignty.

Ford says no one in Canada is scrutinized like he is after backtracking on $28.9M private jet purchase | CBC News Ontario Premier Doug Ford told reporters Monday that "no one in the country" is more scrutinized than he is, as he explained his government's rationale for buying a $28.9-million private jet before qu...

I just keep thinking about this. Ford loves to pound people to shit and strut across their political bodies. All the name calling. The Lefties. Socialists. Cyclists. Gravy eaters.

But he whines like a high maintenance nepo when something doesn't go his way.

Did I just argue with a joke? Part of a Bluesky educational series

Shared this already but I feel it's time to ask if Poilievre was ever good at politics or if the pandemic and Trudeau just made his job super easy?

Because I think the Conservatives are finding out.

The Trump administration has a lot to answer for but I feel this will have one of the longest destructive effects on the US and western world.

Re: shrinking US science

The amount of good will this shit organization would garner if illegal hits to the head were a game misconduct and 1 game suspension.

It's not enough and some would argue levels of severity, but everyone would accept any standard at this point.

But they just can't do it.

It could but transit suffers from the eternal cycle of not having enough service to make it convenient and not having enough passengers to warrant greater service.

Maybe a sharp increase would give us the information and motivation to improve and increase the systems.

For posterity:

In Toronto, gas is running $1.55-1.75. Diesel $1.80-2.00

And i mean all public transit in Canada. Encourage provincial governments to get on board with it. Might you lose money on this? Sure, but you're already prepared to cut available funds anyway (suspicion the tax won't go back, leading to a $6+billion shortfall).

We might as well get something back.

But hey, why don't we try something crazy?

Removing the federal excise tax will punch a $2+ billion hole in the budget. What if, instead, we take the money from it and pay public transit fares. TTC only brings in $1.3b a year so it's in the ball park. Give the option to drive less.

Shipping, agriculture, manufacturing all rely on diesel and a sustained increase in it's cost will raise the price on everything. That's why it's taxed at a lower rate and why removing the tax on it has no effect.

It astounds me that we keep trying this despite it's limited benefit. A few dollars saved in commuters' pockets for a brief time will not affect the cost of living even if prices don't rise again.

And if you really want to affect the cost of living, you don't target gas; you target diesel.

Thanks in part to Carney dropping the federal excise tax on fuel, gas prices are down 11 cents/L! More if you add in the drop on the weekend. Let's see how long until that drop completely disappears.

I give it four days.

Anyway, Canadian provincial politicians remain among the least serious people we have and they wield a dangerous amount of power.
