Just called. The office responded quickly. Overall, took me maybe two minute max. Residents of Ontario please do it! Also don't forget to be respectful, it is enough to introduce yourself and say "I object to the proposed FOI changes. Please pass to Premier".

This is a nuclear bomb to Ontario's democracy. The Ford government wants to obfuscate absolutely everything it does.

Did he play Foxhole too much?

Hell yeah! Flood the city with e-bikes! I skipped many trips because e-bikes were not available, never again!

Also, more e-bikes please. Numbers of e-bikes went down so much in Toronto. You can barely find one. I rarely take regular bikes because e-bikes are so much easier to use - revolutionary. Not sure who to tag so @mayoroliviachow.ca

ass of the crus or how I like to call it - calf

Deployed high tech to your mom’s arsenal last night

I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for foreign operators of Ukraine’s interceptor drone P1SUN to discover what its seemingly purely technical name actually stands for.

😄🇺🇦🕸️ The border guards showed how they extract fiber optics for drones.

Are you enjoying the multipolar world yet? It's only going to get worse.

This thread is basically where I'm at right now. I'm fine with LLM haters; you can think the technology is evil or bad on balance for society, and have reasonable arguments. (I'm agnostic today.) If you're dismissing it on the grounds that it has no utility, that just seems like denial to me.

“Travelling five times a year, maxing out her TFSA, building an emergency fund, and having the freedom to see her friends when and how she wants: Those are just a few ways Deeksha Singh [of Calgary] said she can use the estimated $14,000 a year she saves by not owning a car.”

posting this in advance: this isn't world war 3

👊🇺🇸🔥

There will be more wars.

Excited to be a runner-up to a Saturday cartoon captioning in The Peak newsletter! Enjoy my thoughtful take on polymarket 😆

“155% tax rates for billionaires at home and 155mm for billionaire dictators abroad”

Free market in the streets, banana republic in the sheets

Veterans of the invasion of Ukraine have joined Russian Paralympic teams, as the Paralympic Games allow the use of their national flags. 🧵 1/10 ⬇️

Watching CIBC adds made me think.

Completed the last delivery for the #HeartsinBloom event with a clean parking in a tight spot, no external camera (this is rare so I will enjoy it until next delivery). @scssoft.com #ATS

geriatric frat party

Just followed. Realistically, short-term, we can follow the account and hope the Mayor starts posting here.

Charlie Angus is great, more Canadians should listen to this - www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI63...

Complaining works! Complain Canadians, complain! Complain like never before. Demand great things and when you get them ask for even more!

Someone on this website was writing that Canadian liberals should not cut ties with American liberals, it is bad idea, bla, bla, bla. Democrats or Republicans, at the end, are still Americans.

"The reason Canada doesn't want to become a US state is because none of their hockey players would make the US Olympic team" "Poor Canada. U.S. dominates them economically and now are dominated in their favorite sport" Good thing is that many Americans showed their true attitude towards Canada.

fuck the USA

First of all NOOOOOO. Second, hockey >> soccer. Soccer has as much action as 70 y.o grandpa. You can go and clean your place by the time anything happens in soccer. Meanwhile, hockey is packed with action!

Today, we’re taking you behind the scenes of the upcoming British Columbia DLC for American Truck Simulator! 🇨🇦 We spoke with Davido about the scale, challenges & inspiration behind bringing Canada to ATS for the very first time. 🚛 Read more at 👉 blog.scssoft.com/2026/02/buil...

LOL🤣

Checked @gandersocial.bsky.social roadmap and it has no short-term plans to integrate with ATProto, but they plan "nests", boards, chats. Why? For their MVP to succeed, it would be enough to build BlueSky for Canadians. Instead we got a beta of the app that you could mistake for a capstone project

Got an invite to test @gandersocial.bsky.social app. It's great that they're working on it and we need more options, but so far it feels like an alpha version, not beta. They need to put in much more effort to make it a viable option. I submitted my feedback, and below are a few general notes. 1/n

1st picture: Kenworth W900 tuned to look like Kenworth LW, a popular vocational truck that was produced in BC, Canada in 60/70/80s. KW was famously used for logging. 2nd picture: my first logging job north of Redding; learned that air for brakes can indeed run out. @scssoft.com #ATS

Ontario: make domestic students pay less -> intl students pay majority -> don't expand housing / services because NIMBY and speculations -> people are struggling economically, mad at immigrants -> cut immigration -> colleges have no money -> make domestic students pay more -> win?

@scssoft.com First time joining any ATS/ETS2 event! First delivery of Valentine gifts for #HeartsInBloom event - done. Do we have a community goal tracker somewhere?

Translation: Got into the IOC rules. If during the Olympic Games you shoot an athlete right in the middle of the competition with a shout "for communism", nothing will happen to you, and the dead athlete will be disqualified, because his death is a political statement.

Heraskevych’s choice to forfeit the medal chance instead of give up the memorial helmet is the biggest story in Ukraine today. Everyone is heartbroken but there is a unanimous consensus that this was what had to happen rather than to give up.

So there was this whole discussion some time ago that in case US invades Canada all Canadian forces should just disperse and drive south to DC. Not sure how serious this proposal was but looking at the lack of communication between Mil and DHS, it def sounds much more realistic lol.

What is the start time for #HeartsInBloom event in ATS/ETS2? It says 12th of Feb but is it CET, UTC, something else?

#ATS 1.58 update so far is great. Disabled all sound mods and realized base game sounds so good, especially engine sounds. Physics is def different. My truck (base International LT) feels heavier, more struggle. One complain is smart throttle on keyboard is weird. I didn’t notice a difference.

Just witnessed a model shift ride in front of my eyes this morning. Friend texted the gc that he took transit to work for the first time now that Line 5 opened. Previously he would've had to take a bus-bus-subway trip or a bus-subway-bus trip. Now he can get to work faster than driving.

You know the biggest advantage of people speaking different languages? You do not understand what they say. I do not care about a family drama at a nearby cafe or conversations on a subway. If I do not understand the language, my brain doesn’t register it. I feel blessed. Speak many languages.

“Carney’s speech to People’s Republic of Alberta with Donbas Danielle” pipeline

Close to Science Fiction and Fantasy authors (never written anything long-form). Plus, I can see speculative fiction writers. How?! It all sounds like a very clever insult and I like it 😆 I do write a lot of speculative bullshit.

"Dondas Danielle" is gold

All diseases frozen for millions of years are coming for us! Run!

9. If this was viewed as one of the PM/govt's tasks, or even one of the ministers, we'd see more action. X just became the most prolific CSAM producer in history. Golden opportunity to take a foreign interference vector off the board for deniable reasons. Instead, nothing.

8. I'll return to a hobby horse. Good chance we have AB and QC referenda coming up. Govt has done nothing on foreign interference for years. It's a real threat. I see no evidence there's a governmental acknowledgment that it can or should be preparing for the referenda.
