That was 5th December 2016. I remember it vividly as it was the morning after I arrived in Quebec from the UK and was one of the first things I saw on TV in Canada 😂

Doug is this populist.

They do get quite a bit of sun at those latitudes.

The comparison country to country never quite makes sense to me unless you counter for available daylight hours too.

As winter approaches time seems to change speed too. This summer has flown. Winter is starting to slow down.
My coping mechanism is to get out of the house even when it’s blizzard out and super freezing.
It’s also when I wish Toronto was more like Montreal and they plowed the sidewalks 🤣

Two and a half years to go?

Welcome from another immigrant.

Now see if you can predict him doing something about getting the Eglinton Line open 😂

But Doug said I could. Cameras can't catch crimes you see, only IRL police officers.

He was the sensible era of motoring journalism that we desperately need back.

What difference would that have made? The road layout is the problem and an application of noise from the streetcar is not going to fix that.

@manmademoon.bsky.social will go crazy if he sees this 😂

Proof that the world of work hasn’t gone completely down the tubes.

Geely own Volvo and Polestar. They know what they’re doing.

My Polestar, built in China, was a brilliant car and was only sold because I emigrated.

I live here, I can tell you about the state of Ontario.

We're pissed, much like the rest of Canada's Provinces and Territories.

Thanks 🙏🏻 It’s great to have some closure on this matter.

Your customer services just told me that the email was not for a payment but for a refund.

So please explain the wording…

You are great when things work but your customer services feel like an eager AI puppy trying to please when things go wrong. We don’t want sycophants, just honesty.
