I’ve seen the new Housing Minister and others say this week that house price trends in Canada are basically the same as in other G7 countries. That simply isn’t true, as Hanif Bayat showed in a recent Globe piece.
We really do have a made-in-Canada problem.

every single time a politician bitches about spoiled Americans wanting new tech, new appliances, and new vehicles , the reporter should reply with, “So what progress are you making to ensure Right to Repair?”

What an interesting tool!
Votewell.ca is a site that may help you decide whether you need to switch your vote to give the non-CPC side a better chance. Eg, Niagara West. Right now it looks like a vote split between the Liberals and NDP will give the CPC a much better chance. If the NDP votes switch, it's tight.

The Horniman Natural History Gallery features this stunning walrus.
It was transported to England, purchased in 1886. There, the taxidermists, having never seen one in the wild, stuffed it until the wrinkles smoothed out.
This is a fully inflated walrus, my friends.
MAXIMUM WALRUS.

Hey All: Google is pulling the "automatically on for anyone over 18" bullshit with Gemini that the Dropbox did for its AI, but I can't afford to ditch Google Drive/Docs/Workspace.

The jokes are a coping mechanism. Last year was noticeably hotter than it had any right to be.
NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.
We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.
2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

I still think the most metal line of writing in history is "You cannot kill me in a way that matters" and it came from a fucking tumblr shitpost about mushrooms

"bypassing traditional milestones" is a funny way of saying that most of us can't afford to buy a house with multiple jobs, won't have children because we can't afford them, most of our degrees are useless, and we are the poorest generation among all current living generations
