Sounds like it would save a ton of money on a project that the city is already heavily invested in, while allowing a developer to stop pretending to half-play landlord. Why is the developer even the landlord now? This seems so weird

How is this election so close?? The NDP have been doing a fine job governing, why try to wreck it by voting conservative.

Alberta just kicked Coal years ahead of schedule. Yes, they’re also keeping the rest of the country using and producing oil, but clearly that province is working hard to reduce emissions.

Something is working

When does the government step in, shut down the company, and sell the assets to another firm?

Clearly, this company is irresponsible and cannot follow the law. You don’t have to shut down the operation and have people lose their jobs, but don’t let the company keep operating

He’s absolutely trash. I’d rather there were 0 Canadians in F1 than have him.

Wealthsimple Cash covers most of what one might be looking for in a chequing account.

• 4.5% interest if you deposit your paycheque into it. 3% otherwise I think? It’s quite high
• you can send e-transfers from a Cash account, or you send money using WS Cash to other Cash users. Both workflows are easy

The Cash card also has 0.5% cash back on purchases IIRC and is essentially a prepaid credit card / debit card. I love WS Cash, the only reason I don’t use it more often is that I have an Amex.

I’ll install NixOS on my desktop this weekend just for you 😘

It wasn’t even by Google though, right? This looks like it was by Extinction Rebellion. I can’t imagine the legal team at Google ever approving something like this.

Number one in our hearts 😔

I had a good time, so times must’ve been good! people must be lying!

I guess? These are, of course, the same boomers that turn around and tell anyone younger than Gen X that if they can’t afford a home, it’s because they don’t work hard enough. unfortunately, we’re all people. the best we can do is try to be less idiotic than our parents.

Or, hear me out, the major arteries are designed for people, not cars. Trains, busses, and metros instead of highways and bypasses.

You don’t need cars to move people. That’s a design choice that cities make.

Not Vancouver or Toronto. I’ve never seen anything against bicycling on that stretch and, to the contrary, see a few hardcore road folks most times I use it.

Bike lanes, yes, but this past weekend I saw the aftermath of a cyclist hit on a highway. There have to be long distance routes for folks that want to commute, to train. It has to be separated from cars and safe.

What’s the benefit of this? I don’t understand how that benefits parents or children. Who cares if the kid is a boy or a girl? What if their parents are abusive? School is part of where identity develops, to rob kids of that seems messed up

FWIW I’m not sure I’d be excited that my donations to Lemmy.ca would be spent on disaster relief. Some related projects make sense (other federated communities, online Canadian content ,etc) , but I stopped donating to Wikipedia after getting tired of their tangential charity shit.

To that end, some ideas

• Chat Across Canada (CAC? Could do something with sea to sea, as well, although c2c is a band)
• Canadian Federated Communities, although CFC is bad
• Canada online
• Some backronym for CANUCK
• Federated Canuckistan (okay this one is particularly dumb)

I’m not sure if the name will make a huge deal if you can do “business” under another name. If the society name is “Lemmy.ca and associated project deployments for Canadians by Canadians” can you “do business” (receive donations to, brand websites as) Lemmy.ca? There’s nothing really unclear about “the Lemmy.ca matrix server” or “an instance of mastodon run by Lemmy.ca”.

Is it capitalism to blame or the lack of controls on who can own how many rental properties?

I agree, some proposed solutions would be good, but it’s also an excerpt from a longer work that could include some.

Isn’t the goal to remove public hearings? Why should a neighbour get to decide what you do with your property. That’s what OCPs are for.
