@uncle_deluge @Sorcerer0fEld Aquinas was sufficiently powerfully built that there are eyewitness accounts of him helping pull boats up rivers

@CoopTory Canadian provinces should build out rural transit networks, honestly it's nice to be able to sit on a motorcoach for multi hour trips instead of driving, and I say this as someone who has done 4000 kilometre drives as the sole driver before.

Lmao that community note

[Brampton's recorder @BramRecorder]

@pothen Its not more austere, its less loud and more detailed, its a backlash to the greigification of the world, to façades limited by old Sketchup

1) rent a truck or van, Home Depot has those available
2) Call a cab

I've done plenty of work on my house and when my compact sedan wasn't big enough I rented a van, it really wasn't that hard. People need to not have a victim mentality about how they need big vehicles to live

@tnertz @jasonc_nc @boynamedcadence @Chicago_Goofies @ChitownPatriot1 Have fun biking drywall when you need to fix a wall in your house. Have fun riding a bus with groceries for 20 people for your family get together.

Oh wait you won’t own property in your socialist utopia.

@benmyers29 @BullpenConsult Sometimes I wonder whether the left is deliberately pushing for terrible policies in order to so thoroughly break the system that there is a revolution.

@Sorcerer0fEld Is this supposed to be good? Concerns over Bill 11 seem quite reasonable, I don't know enough about the Indian Act changes to comment

@opinonhaver @jarjoh If you're commuting into a major city you aren't rural, you're suburban or exurban

@donnelly_b There's a reason why doctors in Canada have a standing order to tell Canadians to take Vitamin D in the winter

@aedison @meganysta A similar example of higher parking prices, if you make house calls, this sounds concerning because what if I need to visit somewhere with on street paid parking, but if structured properly it can mean much less time hunting for parking, and special trades passes can save money.

[Brampton's recorder @BramRecorder]

@aedison @meganysta I've 100% been there, I'm also in the trades and get why tradespersons may be concerned, especially when not knowing the details of policy. If done poorly congestion pricing can hurt tradesperson, if done thoughtfully, it can substantially benefit.

[Brampton's recorder @BramRecorder]

@meganysta @aedison For tradesmen who visit many sites such as making house calls, congestion zones can be set up to ge only charged once per day, and the reduced congestion potentially means making more service calls per day, meaning on net the profession can net profit. Trades frequently benefit!

[Brampton's recorder @BramRecorder]

@meganysta @aedison Congestion pricing usually has time of day costing, e.g starting at 7 (like NYC), which many tradesmen arrive to construction sites before the pricing starts, and it's also one way meaning tradesmen leaving the zone during congestion charge time aren't charged.

If you know me, you'd know why me being served this ad is incredibly funny and I most definitely am not interested

Hope people understand when she says they turned off her power wheelchair what that means is a switch at the back and bottom - completely beyond reach of wheelchair user - was turned off. So they effectively hog-tied her.

I find it both hilarious and sad that the exact stretch of Yonge that looked roughly like this in my lifetime now has the City cracking down on the signage adorning small food kiosks.

@Sorcerer0fEld Burrito Boyz is not that good, I did have solid Mexican food in Port Credit though
