Hell yeah

(the monkeys and clowns in question have nukes)

Where is that shared path sidewalk?

You said they were the biggest problem. Don't try to walk that back by slightly rewording things.

The LEADING CAUSE? Not the number of people in single occupancy vehicles clogging up the roads, not our lack of evacuation buses, not inadequate forewarning, modal filters? That's what KILLS PEOPLE?

It's fun seeing people being confidently incorrect.

Fellas are modal filters the leading cause of death in wildfires?

This is the dumbest shit in history. You don't write the prime minister to converse with a chatbot. You write the prime minister so his staff (a) know the views of citizens and (b) you can get clarification on his official viewpoints.

Time to start inserting malicious prompts in PMO letters.

Wow, two mayors who campaigned on ripping out bike lanes are climate change deniers? No way. /S

They're probably scared of being treated with the level of respect they see foreigners being treated with back at home. I don't say this as a slight, I genuinely believe it. I suspect Americans think they might be subject to the same treatment their country doles out for visitors if they were outed.

I will point out that my highest moment of glory on the Old Site™ was when I had the handle "a literal garbage can" the District of @saanichbc.bsky.social official account replied to a question very formally and opened with with "thanks for the question, Trashcan."

Might return to using the handle I used on Xitter back in the good ol' days.

Bring back the British Columbia Ministry of Ending Car Reliance?

Meanwhile in North and Central Saanich the municipality has decided this number of bike lane violations is perfectly acceptable

Since they don't have a "submit corrections and errors" option like any reputable news source, I'll post it here:

It is not just a bylaw infraction, it is a violation of the provincial motor vehicle act.

Wow, the vehicle killed someone without the driver doing anything?

This is the kind of policymaking we deal with as teachers on a daily basis.

Do you maintain a blog of all your trips with routes on a map?

Quote from Tyee article: Starting my own party, Vote Vancouver, was based on the values that non-partisanship and collaboration are key to providing good governance and good decision-making that is appropriately set at the local level.

Words used to have meaning

Hell yeah! Good for you :)

Heck yeah!

To my knowledge they are incapable of changing names, you have to do that as a separate process - that's super weird. Hope you resolve it.

The number of potentially boomerbot users who actually post like this is enormous.

Didn't they already attempt this a while back and the extreme right mustered it's resources and stopped them?

A conservative would never dare increase corporate taxes, and Carney is a conservative.

A rebate requires a tax base to draw a rebate from - a tax base built on things like a gas excise tax.

This is so stupid. Not R&M's decision, the stupidity that necessitated that decision. Hoping this won't affect Canada.

And for the roads they use to drive around. And for the parking lots at businesses they patronize. And the highways, airports, and railways they used to travel. And so on.

It's a broken double standard that is so obviously in bad faith.

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're in a CORRIDOR! A room door is open, and we see two crewmen spilling out into the hallway in red and blue uniforms. They are otherwise indecipherable tho because they are entirely enveloped in a big cloud of smoke. It's pouring out all around them and into the hallway area, like there's a Phish concert in there. Closed caption reads, "[COUGHING]"

Hmm, the tradeoff between a non-native ornamental tree or homes for 75 families? That's a tough one. I'm sure these people are 100% really concerned because of three, and not just using it as an excuse for NIMBYism.

Why is there an override button? There is no situation in which violating speed laws is permissible for the general public
