J'aimerais que les Legault et PSPP de ce monde arrêtent de nous niaiser avec la «capacité d'acceuil» du Québec. Si une telle chose existe, soit elle est de loin dépassée déjà (par notre consommation de ressources), soit elle est loin d'être dépassée (le territoire est quand même grand).

This LNG processing plant on the coast of BC that Carney just fasttracked as a project of national interest is for a project that will be 100% American-owned.

Elbows something something!

Dutch elections: first exit poll shows heavy losses for Wilders' right-far-right coalition. From 88 out of 150 seats two years ago to just 52 now. End of an experiment, fortunately.

Metrolinx says St. Clair-Old Weston needs to be serviced by the UP Express instead of Kitchener GO to fulfill the 15-minute or better service promised by SmartTrack.

All capital costs associated with this change will be covered by the province. (1/2)

It’s the 111th anniversary today of the birth of Harry Rée, who was a teacher and conscientious objector when the Second World War broke out, and by the time it ended, when he was 31, had invented ‘blackmail sabotage’ and got a DSO, an OBE, a Croix de Guerre, and a Medaille de la Resistance
