Recently I was in a painted bike lane on Beechwood and had a car veer suddenly into my lane (and nearly me) as it prepared for a right turn. Painted lanes absolutely aren't sufficient, and it really doesn't help when they curve around car parking. Once the paint starts to fade the lane disappears

PSA for people looking to vote this weekend: Elections Canada's data suggests that, unlike on election day, the evening of advance voting days is the least popular time to vote. So waiting until after 4pm might get you a better experience
(Election Day is of course also an option)

Dual monitors have a lot of uses, but making following the debate less boring is an pretty great one.

Maybe I misunderstood your point, but there is a travel advisory for China and not for the USA? While they've added some language about increased scrutiny at the US border, the advisory for China is very clear about arbitrary law enforcement. If anything we're still understating the US situation.

It's ultimately just a simple typo, but given that the point of this press release is to pander to Quebecers, it's pretty funny that they got the French version of the headline so wrong.

#votewell.ca handles this a lot better imho, and just tells voters that they don't have any reason to vote strategically in this riding.

I also find some of their stances for the parties questionable. In a question about funding for universities, they rely on Singh saying tuition should be free. In questioning if our hate speech laws go too far, they rely on parties stances on a *proposed* law. Neither exactly matches the actual Q

Assuming that an election happens by the end of April as rumoured, Carney will set a new record for shortest time in office for a PM if the LPC lose government.
If they win he'll still be the first PM to never have held elected office when appointed. A future trivia question either way.

I somehow managed to snap the bridge of my glasses during my commute to the office this morning. Efforts to tape them back together have been going... less than excellently
