@wrath2121@MadelaineLucyH Post a pic. Let's see how much weight I should give to your opinion. She is beautiful and isnt a cookie-cutter looking LA blonde. Good. She's Aussie. Now show us what you look like.
Canada built bridges for bears, and the bears used them.
So did wolves, cougars, elk, moose, lynx, wolverines, bighorn sheep, black bears, deer, and almost everything else trying to cross one of the busiest highways in the Rockies.
The Trans-Canada Highway cuts through Banff National Park for 82 km. For decades, it did what highways do: split habitat in half, severed migration routes, isolated populations, and turned animal movement into roadkill.
So Parks Canada tried something that sounded ridiculous to a lot of people at the time: they built wildlife bridges and tunnels.
They look nice, but they're far from a decoration. Forested overpasses wide enough for grizzlies and elk. Dark underpasses for cougars and black bears. Fencing along the highway to keep animals off the pavement and guide them toward safe crossings.
At the time, critics called it a waste of money and editorials opined that animals would never use them.
Fortunately, animals don't read opinion pieces. Since monitoring began, wildlife have used Banff’s crossings more than 250,000 documented times.
Grizzlies took years to trust them. Elk started testing them while they were still under construction. Different species chose different designs: grizzlies and elk tended to prefer wide, open overpasses, while cougars and black bears often used narrower underpasses.
The results were not subtle. Wildlife-vehicle collisions dropped by more than 80% overall. For elk and deer, they dropped by more than 96%.
Banff now has one of the most studied wildlife crossing systems on Earth, and countries around the world have looked to it as a model.
Yep, must be "genuinely scary" for the Jewish residents of New York's 10th, one of the most Jewish districts in America, who voted tonight to replace a pro-genocide Jewish congressman with an anti-genocide Jewish congressman.
This is one of about 2 million of Canadas 'reflecting' pools.
What's nice about these is that we don't have to paint the inside of them blue to make them look beautiful.

All I hear from maga and Maple maga is that Canada is broken, San Fran is a leftist, crime-ridden wasteland & New York is a socialist hellhole but the homicide rates prove otherwise. Mamdani's New York & centrist-liberal San Fran, along with Canada have the least murders. Weird.

@GradeH4ck@Reil76 I agree. I think the feds biggest mistake was the rate of immigration while home prices and inflation were rising. They should be at least limiting how many homes the banks can steal from hard-working Canadians before increased immigration which inflates the problems further.
@LongfieldAlice@Reil76 Literally nothing 'hateful' about his post at all. Just factual and informative for anyone that isn't brainwashed to say you hate your own country. Your response was actually hateful and rude. Get a grip, Alice.
@DemonFramed They looked at Woodstock '99 & the absolute revolt against unfettered, greedy capitalism & that scared the shit outta them. They cancelled rock music & decided political division will keep these young men from doing this to them.. 1 yr later scotus decides the 2000 election.
People don't understand the rich.
Have you ever played a Video Game?
Noticed that you don't care if you hurt, bankrupt, kill the NPCs because to you they aren't people.
Well that is exactly how the richest see you, numbers on a spreadsheet, they don't care what happens to you.
@dmweisberger Because the core of it came from the government? The most important financing that kept these companies alive came from taxpayers at crucial times. That's not enough of a reason? Lol. Also, no one is saying confiscate the whole amount. Anything over $999 million... 75% taxed. 🤣
