Supporters of the by-law are saying that submissions are still open for written statements. If you haven’t written in to express your opposition, you may still have time. It won’t hurt to send something, and given that efforts are being made to solicit support still, it’s essential to try.
You have just under 24 hours to register to speak or submit a statement opposing Evan Duncan’s Charter-free zones.
Choose Executive Policy Committee from the drop-down, and write in “7. Safe Access to Vulnerable Infrastructure By-law” for the item you oppose.

There's no chance Team Canada doesn't start Binnington in the quarterfinals but his leash needs to be no longer than your typical elementary school ruler (measured in centimetres, of course)

Putting MacKinnon with McDavid and Celebrini after a PK is just unfair. Also Celebrini is doing this as a freaking teenager.

honestly tired of trying to convince people that trump's immigration policy is not really about violent undocumented immigrants or even just undocumented immigrants, but immigrants in general and even non-white people more broadly.

New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...
Trump has lost the voters who weren’t paying attention in 2024
The least-engaged Americans have swung 25 points against him since 2024 — about twice the shift among everyone else. Trump has flattened the engagement gap.

Tumbler Ridge is mourning a horrific loss. But how the shooter's identity is being talked about online, and the dangerous links being made to trans people at large, will have resounding and dangerous impacts in the months and weeks to come.

This is not the USA. School shootings are not normal nor usual. Alt-right social media influencers jumping to US’s “norms” and using tragedies to advance their agendas with unconfirmed details are either grossly incompetent or nefariously sinister, and are inflicting real damage to our communities.

If you widen that highway
you won’t reduce emissions
or congestion.
What you WILL do
is spend a lot of public money
to induce even more cars
emitting even more GHGs and pollution
in the same or worse congestion
with people still demanding that you widen the highway.
