A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”

This is from 1975.

Gas price hikes & shortages “fuel” controversy, especially when they’re “driven” by an illegal war. But let’s not forget one of the most important discussions that should flow from such hikes — how they spotlight the difference between places with mobility choices, and places that are car-dependent.

Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best

Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!

Except his speech was mainly about not being vassals for major powers. So maybe take a minute before sending pressers cheer leading cowboy intl bombings

On its own , this is excellent content. Its a shame that the Brady-MAGA machismo cloud makes these efforts feel and look so shallow

The WH visit tmoro might be a red line for many in the fan base. I expect it to be awful.

Rubbish. Hes tirelessly undermined the interests of yr community. On so many files. One of the worst voting records in all of council and unfailingly bought-off thru legalized corruption

Opinion: France is ditching American tech. When will Canada? Countries around the world are turning to open-sourced or domestic options, but Canada still relies on U.S. tech for critical communication software

I'm getting tired of your stumping for big auto. We need a transition plan that isnt dependent on US companies.

L2 was down today.

I'm at the point where i will prefer consistent and plan-able traffic delays over: surprise, u get to walk 45mins to work!

And i say that as someone who really wants to take transit.

Awesome news. The entire plan hinges on OCTranspo working. Otherwise its an absolute clog everywhere.

Ottawa spends buckets of $ to clear away snowbanks every year. This is subsidy to car infrastructure; we’d not need to (generally) if we didn’t prioritize free car storage on public streets, make is easy for giant off street parking lots (punishing small biz) and make transit, bike/walk easier

Also doesnt count staff, office, and programming costs. Depending on uni, VPs and decanal offices r running large budgets. Some of that staff is re deployed but still huge admin cuts. Good to see.

Compensation is fine but misses the point that the people who run transit in ottawa HATE public transit.

More effective angle would be shaming. Take every Jim Watson plaque down from the city. Replace w debts and names of all councillors who supported and enabled him. Make a public legacy where he would be unwelcome on any boards or local picnics.

That there are five #ICE offices in Canada - in Ottawa, Calgary, Montreal, Toronto, & Vancouver - is not only morally reprehensible but a public security issue.

They are not law enforcement; they're the paramilitary branch of a fascist leader.

Their operations in Canada must be ended.
