Additionally: the original NAIT station opened in 2015, but it was replaced by NAIT/Blatchford Market in 2024.

One note about Wem: the transit centre is normally located south of the mall, right outside one of its entrances. The current transit centre is a temporary location in use while construction is ongoing.

The OTHER camp has been blasting out weird alternate-universe fanfic wherein Itch is an evil cackling corpo with 100s of employees and 100s of millions to splash on lawyers. See: "platforms are not your friend" as thought-terminating cliche. These people are worse than useless!

This is where 60-year-old Edouard Lallemand, a lifelong angler who'd been fishing these waters for decades and knows that he was miles north of the border, was fishing when he was intercepted by a much larger US vessel, rammed, taken to the US side, and jailed.

The way the tech companies see it, they try to do something responsible, people yell at them for it, and a competitor does the irresponsible thing anyway, so they just stop caring.

The incentives are just not there as of now. It’s why we need better regulation, and more uniform regulation.

In the spirit of Canada-US friendship, Via exists to make Americans feel good about Amtrak while US transit agencies exist to make Canadians feel good about their own transit service.

There is a relation to the Feds. Half of the federal Liberals ended up in the BC NDP and the other half in the BC Linerals. People like Joyce Murray were both federal and provincial Liberals.

Liberals can be populists too, in systems that aren’t liberal democracies. The Jacobins were liberal populists.

They are populist. They create a narrative of a particular group of elites against the common people, saying the system is broken, and they want to tear it apart and change it. Anyone who does that is populist, regardless of their political ideology.
