Honest to god, it’s not that hard to do 40 km/h in these zones. They post a sign telling you there’s a speed camera coming up. You just have to go 40 for like 20 meters to avoid a ticket.
Why should we socialize the cost of “fixing” the road design, when we can instead make the individuals who speed pay?
I’ve never wanted the Digital Services Tax more than right now, lol.
This is the laziest troll of a take, lol. We are building high speed rail. We stopped our EV rebate (for now). Immigrants and China have nothing to do with the topic or the article.
We have plenty of carbon and methane emissions from oil and gas usage, which you could make an actual coherent argument out of, but instead you just wrote complete gibberish and contributed nothing to Lemmy.
The graph of news headlines about the real estate market is the same graph lol. They recycle the same narrative every year.
apology accepted
It’s not though, it’s owned by NordStar Capital.
the dude runs a russian propaganda sub on lemmy.ca, just ignore him
I feel like Loblaws and the other stores they run always play stupid games with prices. They didn’t really show that this was anything different than say, the same month a year ago. The article and methodology just feels kinda shoddy and empty. “We did a shit analysis and came up with weird results, now here’s some experts saying random things.”
I wish I could give a shit about the Green party but after like a decade of infighting, I couldn’t care less. We live in a time of global environmental emergencies and they’ve completely failed to capitalize on that.
I was talking to a friend and we both mentioned how we saw Elizabeth May on TV talking beside someone and we weren’t sure whether it was her or the other guy who was the leader.
Are they still fiscal conservatives? What stupid combination of policies.
This guy already can see Russia from his house. He runs our local Russian propaganda sub on Lemmy.ca lol
US foreign policy is completely incoherent right now. The answers don’t really matter. They’re just making these individual policy decisions based on trying to bully their allies/enemies to test the water as to how far they can impose their will on the rest of the world and be unpredictable.
Why does the US need critical minerals from Ukraine if there’s no global heating and therefore we wouldn’t need Elon Musk’s EVs? Their positions make sense (to them) individually, but don’t make any sense when you put them together. But when your electorate has the memory of a squirrel and is glued to social media propaganda feeds, you don’t need coherent policy to stay in power.
Some kind of crowd-sourced tagging would be a cool anti-troll technique. A lot of less experienced websurfers struggle to spot “inauthentic behaviour” (bots, astroturfing, etc) so it could be beneficial. Reddit has a huge problem with sleeper accounts though, where they build up reputation with low-effort comments over years, then activate when a campaign needs them. The social media marketers seem to sometimes use the same techniques as the state-sponsored troll farms.
this is the saddest, stupidest, low effort troll account - see comment history
If we can somehow entice Chinese car companies manufacture here
I think that’s part of the point of auto tariffs.
It’s not about software or data. It’s about control over the supply chain - cars are essential to our economy and way of life in North America (like it or not). It’s the same reason we protect the milk supply. You don’t want another country to be able to turn it off in a conflict.
The thing is, if Trump wants to kill Canada’s role in US car manufacturing, then it will cost him the car markets in Mexico and Canada. If there’s no jobs here to protect, then we’ll just drop the tariffs on Chinese EVs. (This is speaking like 20 years down the road). We’ll all be driving Chinese cars in that scenario. The tariffs are a total lose-lose situation, so dumb.
I’d be way more concerned about whether it’s a deathtrap than whether or not the touchscreen has good UX, lol.
Totally fair. One thing that’s super clear in this country is that the tax laws favour the rich. IMHO even RRSPs are of greater benefit to people who don’t pay rent or have paid off their mortgages.
I can’t even remember the last time I even saw a cop doing speed enforcement in Toronto. Definitely not on the highways. It makes total sense to automate this, and I highly doubt anybody lost their job over it.
