Elizabeth May? :¶

No need to swear, friend. If that city switched to walking and shared transport, most of those roads could be converted into housing or parkland instead of concrete and parking.

Switching from one type of car to another isn’t a green transition. Car production still creates enormous co2 emissions, paving everything for cars makes heat islands, tires produce piles of particulate pollution, and so on. Fixing the car pollution problem means moving to other forms of transportation, not just slightly-less-bad automobiles.

Unfortunately the UDHR is not enforceable…

Neat! I known nothing about these companies, could you give me names of the ones you’ve used?

Can regular nonbusiness users use them? This sounds fabulous

Facebook and Google have already destroyed the internet, by making hundreds of millions of people think they are the internet.

No it doesn’t. When others see people wearing a mask now, they think your either paranoid, virtue signalling, or have an health condition and therefore hava a higher threat model.

Really? At this point when see someone wearing a mask I assume they have a cold/flu/covid and they’re being prosocial…

Sure, we just need to convince the pentagon that the fires are some sort of communist strategy to destabilise our economy. Or maybe that the fires are burning precious oil that should be liberated.

Hah!

Thanks for this, I’ll see what I can do about the timeline. Thankfully my daughter travels really well, and yeah, we have games, an dramatised audio version of the chronicles of narnia, a Switch and phones with movies. It’ll definitely be a stretch but I think she’ll be ok. :)

Nice, thanks!

Awesome, thank you so much!

Thanks!

Thanks! I didn’t realise you couldn’t drive up to lake Louise or Moirane lake any more… It’s been decades since I’ve been there and was hoping to make the stop. Thanks!

This is exactly the sort of suggestion I’m looking for, thanks! I’ll put it on the itinerary!

Yeah, it’s only about 80km shorter than going through Ottawa, so it’s pretty close either way, but I guess we’d be less likely to hit traffic up north than in the Capital :)

Neat, thanks!

Thanks for this! We’re definitely giving Toronto a miss, going down there would add a good 10 hours to the drive (we’re going through Canada, not the states). We’re on the fence about going through Ottawa or crossing the border up near Royn/Temiskaming which would take us way north of Sudbury. My childhood friend who lives in Ottawa just got back to me that he’ll be out of town when where there, and I do know some people in Royn. But you do make a good point about enjoying the Canadian Shield while we can. We can’t draw the trip out too much because the Mrs is flying with the baby and I don’t want to leave her single parenting for too long. But we have left a couple days for sightseeing; Vancouver actually isn’t our final destination, but I have family there so we’ll stop in and spend a day with them.

Great idea, thanks!

Yes, I was thinking of that, I went a couple times back in high school. It’ll mostly depend on if we hit Edmonton or Calgary, but I’m sure the kiddo would love it.

Ooh, thanks! I’ve only ever been through NW Ontario on a bus (and a brief Westjet milk run stop in Thunder Bay). Any particular areas you’d recommend, maybe for a night of camping within a day’s drive of Winnipeg?

Daughter actually, but thanks for the suggestion!

Teksavvy is selling? Dang. I switched to Fizz a couple years ago since it was a lot cheaper, but this is terrible news for themarket as a whole :(
