Population distribution of the United States in units of Canadas

A good start would be not making it a parking lot for cars.

The federal government has announced $156,000 to revitalize Alderney Plaza.

When this same organization, again whose stated goal was to overthrow the government, blockaded the most important crossings to the country's most important trading partner, occupied the capital city, AND got caught with an arsenal of weapons, how was that not an emergency?

[Jeff Blair @jeffbblair]

It was literally their stated goal to replace our elected representatives with yahoos of their choosing. They published this in a "Memorandum of Understanding".

Not enough cabinet ministers resign on principle. It's refreshing when it happens.

@benwedge I'm sure the way-finding people will love this.

Am I at Durham College or am I in Oshawa?

How do I get from Durham College Oshawa GO to Durham College?

If I am on the Durham College campus, can I take the GO?

What if I want to take VIA to Montreal? What station do I go to?

Abbott banned abortion in cases of rape.

Last night, he told victims of rape that they’ll be fine because he’ll give them “baby supplies” after forcing them to give birth to their rapist’s child.

This election is about ending Abbott’s attacks on women. We are voting him out.

@kyleifax Looks like it's just drawing a line between stops instead of using the shapes

Dr. Strang: "We can't be complacent about COVID"

People: "Ok, Will you require masks, require people to stay home, or increase access to testing?"

Also Dr. Strang: "Nope"

🤦

[Jeff Blair @jeffbblair]

Gee Dr. Strang... if only there were something you could do about it. Some sort of protective measure that would require the population use in order to protect each other from airborne transmission? If only such a thing existed....

WATCH: Nova Scotia's chief medical officer of health says the population is becoming too complacent about COVID-19.

Recap: Young female PM singing is made to be (the dumbest) scandal. Executive dude wonders who allowed top middle aged female journalist to let her hair go grey & she's fired. Most likely Conservative candidate for PM attacks female journo & she's now facing death threats.

@benwedge Not enough highways!

[Jeff Blair @jeffbblair]

For profit body parts is a moral and ethical minefield. But @CanadasLifeline can get me to donate if they would require donors and staff wear masks.

@LUrbaniste @tjhfx @kyleifax Don't you have to pay to use it?

[Jeff Blair @jeffbblair]

Your country is sick when these are needed.

How can you not stop and think that maybe giving people access to health care is a more dignified way of treating people than having them drop a baby in a box?

[The New York Times @nytimes]

It looks like a library book drop, but it’s really a place for parents to surrender newborns. These safe havens began as a way to prevent the most extreme cases of child abuse, but after Roe, conservative groups are looking to expand them. https://t.co/Q73nTgawiQ

Conversely, if you're a tournament director whose tournament is going to have a livestream, maybe take broadcast angles into consideration in your port-a-pottie placement.

[Jeff Blair @jeffbblair]

There are two things I wish producers could avoid more of when choosing broadcast angles: (1) cars and (2) port-a-potties.

Nothing ruins a great viewing experience more than a camera panning over to the parking lot or a line of people waiting to pee.

To clarify, this is for broadcasting ultimate.
