Canada Post is required to do 2 things.
1. Deliver mail to every address in Canada, &
2. Be financially self sustaining.
Until a government decides whether Canada post is a public service or a self supporting company, it can't be fixed, because it can't do both at the same time.

It’s absolutely right that workers walk off the job in response to the government taking a chainsaw to Canada Post.
If we lose the unique national infrastructure the postal service has, it will never be rebuilt. We should be using it to expand services to the public, not nickel and diming it.

Watching "Yellowstone". In the pantheon of American television shows, where the main characters are terrible people, I can't decide if this is "Succession" with a lot of guns, or "Sons of Anarchy" with better scenery and clothes.

If at any point in my life, much less in retirement, you had told me I would spend a Friday evening teaching a Nun/PhD student to ride a bicycle, I might have been skeptical.

The global phenomenon of “bikelash” has become one of the biggest barriers to implementing interventions that make our streets more liveable, accessible and sustainable. So how do we best manage it as advocates for change? Here are eight strategies we recently presented at the Velo-city Conference.🧵

There is just no precedent in recent world history of an advanced industrialized country sabotaging its own scientific establishment, and destroying the base of scientific knowledge necessary for basic policymaking. An avowedly, actively anti-knowledge regime.
Head of NASA Sean Duffy intends to destroy a satellite that collects key data on carbon dioxide and plant health, by causing it to burn up in the atmosphere. The U.S. Dept of Agriculture and private agriculture firms use the data to forecast crop yield, drought conditions and more.
Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose
The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

Pierre Poilievre is whingeing about trade policy and proposing an alternative plan(without details). He seems to have forgotten he's running in a byelection, not a general.

Had a cataract lens replacement last week. Turns out the faint sepia tones I have seen in so many movies and shows the last few years had nothing to do with how they were filmed.

I'm all in favor of transportation alternatives, including things like the electric scooters scattered around the city, but blocking sidewalks (at Lisgar and Metcalfe) for hours at a time really doesn't help the reputation or acceptance...

The Giro Aerohead time trial helmet looks ridiculous... until you see it in use live, like on today's ITT at the Tour de France. Then it looks like a bullet (despite Vingegaard's performance being less than perfect).

I want to make a personal request to those of you who use a bike for transportation purposes to start taking more photos and posting them.
You can do so much by showing even the most mundane errands with a bike to educate and inspire others. They're often more effective than words. 📸

Summer Solstice. The longest day of the year and, as of 1042 pm tonight, we'll be closer to the year 2050 than we are to the year 2000, a year that was a milestone and synonymous with "the future" at one time.

I swear Poilievre has ten short talks. What comes out of his mouth when someone pulls the string in his back is limited to one of these ten. Two years on its wearing thin
