Poilievre to release platform Tuesday with details on new spending and cuts | CBC News Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Monday the party will release its costed platform Tuesday, giving voters a sense of what a government led by him would do and where it would cut to pay for it...

If you can't get your act together to have a costed platform released before advanced polls, you should be deemed unfit for office - and forced to forfeit. Deadlines are simple things PP, you've only had 4 years to prepare. #late #canpoli #cpc

A single-story brick house with a brown roof and two garage doors. One half of the driveway has been dug up to create a front garden that features a variety of plants and flowers, along with a wooden structure. Surrounding the house are trees and greenery, and overhead power lines are visible.

When you no longer need a second car you can turn half your driveway into a vegetable garden.

So remember, folks, if someone tries to steal your car, be sure to thank them for complimenting your taste in vehicles.

Bev Priestman out at Canada Soccer in wake of Olympic drone-spying scandal Bev Priestman is out as coach of the Canadian women's soccer team in the wake of an independent report into the Olympic drone-spying scandal.

In addition to Priestman leaving..

"Canada Soccer has also opened a case against former coach John Herdman under its disciplinary code, saying the review unearthed "potential violations" of the organization's code of conduct and ethics by the former head coach of the men’s national team."

Whose to stop Bluesky's board from selling to some billionaire or Bluesky's investors push to monetize your user base in nefarious ways.

The definition of a corporation is an anti-democratic concentration of centralized power ....

So why not be a non-profit without any ownership as opposed to a public benefit corporation? Or even better a user-cooperative where each user owns a share in the company and elects the directors?

Problem β‰  πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈ lanes

TO's "director of traffic management, Roger Browne, said the main issue is that major construction projects have left less room for cars. Data from the City of Toronto showed construction work is behind 47% of road closings; in second place are utility repairs at 38%."

View of the sidewalk on the street from the video at a side street, viewed from the road β€” the concrete sidewalk and asphalt bike lane don’t stop or dip down, and the roadway has a stop sign and raised section before the sidewalk

Continuous sidewalks (and continuous protected bike lanes), pass it on

Up here in canada, we like to sit on good ideas ... in 1968 CN Rail debuted the TurboTrain that was capable of doing toronto to Montreal in just over 2 hours.

All I can think is that 80m humans south of the border voted Trump because they saw it would protect their power, wealth and status even if it comes at the expense of other humans' agency, dignity and access to prosperity

Honestly, I'm not worried about four years of Trump without guardrailsβ€”what worries me are the 80 million humans who thought this human with a broken moral compass was the best choice for president..

Separated bike lanes on the improved roads would be great!

I commuted Waterloo to Floradale for by bike sharing roads with no shoulders with heavy vehicles at high speeds. Yuck, but the beautiful parts was the Trans Canada Trail to Health Valley Trail to to Three Bridges Rd #cyclewr
