This happened on Beverly at the foot of grange park last week between me heading to pick up my kid after school and the way home. I always have to triple check when crossing that highway… (none of the people in the photo are the driver).

I got heat stroke on my way back to my hotel on one of those busses (though I was out all day at the height of August), but loved every minute of the ride.

Oil prices over the same timeline…

Canadian politics has shifted, exhibit Q. The federal Green Party is now running on a defence platform of creating paramilitary groups, massive artillery and naval production, among other things.
