I quit driving in '96. At the time, CAA reported that it cost on average about $13,000 to drive and maintain a car for a year. 29x13000=$377,000.

This is my kids’ commute to school 😍
Lots of work to be done at either end to make it safer for them, but it’s an amazing to have that 5-10 mins of nature every morning.

If support’s slipping, it’s not CBC. Canadians are tired of Maple-MAGA politics, slogans over substance, and Trump-style grievance tours.
When journalists ask questions, that’s not bias. That’s accountability.
CBC matters.

This should be one of the biggest land-use planning controversies in United States history. And that’s saying something.
Breaking news: ICE expects to spend $38.3 billion on its plan to acquire warehouses across the U.S. and retrofit them into immigrant detention centers that can hold tens of thousands of people, according to agency documents.

There's been a lot of discussion about how white supremacy, racism, and Christian nationalism are driving this administration's policies, but I think it has been under-discussed in the mainstream just how much eugenics has been a factor. A lot of disabled folks have been yelling about it though.

As the US doubles down on fossil fuels and blocks wind & solar installations, its emissions are ticking up.
In contrast, China's emissions appear to have peaked. In the last 2 yrs, they installed more new solar energy each year than the U.S. has in its entire history.

I’ve been thinking about Canada’s intention to become more economically independent from the United States, and to connect more with Europe.
We should do the same thing with our city-building.
Our city-building has always been too influenced by the U.S, especially with car dependency.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.
