@SyntheticusAlt Sure, and props to BC for a successful diversification of its economy, but the forest sector is vital to so many communities. It’s not an insignificant industry.
@Teelin@SyntheticusAlt Yes, you’re right! The thing with Canada is that our Liberal party isn’t really born from a worker’s rights perspective. That happened later, and the colour red was already taken. In any case, BC is not blue nor a state 😜
@Teelin@SyntheticusAlt There’s history behind political colours. Red representing the left dates back to the French revolution. Large international organizations use those colours as well, which has an influence too. Orange is much more recent. Of course there will always be exceptions also.
@Teelin@SyntheticusAlt in most of the world red is the colour for centre left and blue is for conservatism. It’s really just the US that made this different, and that’s only since the 80s!
@rleong101@humantransit While Solar and Dix-30 should have been better planned, Panama is a much older area that could not have been built another way given the context 40 years ago.
@SyntheticusAlt Sarasota broke its record for the most intense storm in its history. For the Tampa Bay area and Sarasota it was very much the most damaging storm in a century, since the last time they got directly hit by a hurricane was in the 1920s.
@OhUrbanity This. We are never 100% one thing. In one day I can be a pedestrian, a driver, a transit user and a cyclist… Having more equitable roads doesn’t mean the end of any of those modes…
