Bob Vylan - like early Rage Against the Machine. Found out about them when they got banned from entry to the US - which is how I’m discovering most of my music these days.

My EV is better than my gas car in every conceivable way except for the lack of rural charging infrastructure - which ain’t my car’s fault.

Yes, the purchase price was higher than my last car, but my first service that’s more than inspections or replacing the cabin air filter is at 96,000km and that’s to replace the brake fluid. There is basically zero maintenance cost.

I also charge it almost exclusively using my solar panels. Actual cost of ownership is cheaper than my old gas car, it’s more comfortable, absurdly fast, and I never have to stand in the cold pumping gas. Now if only someone would start selling an EV station wagon in Canada…

Yea, exactly - that was my point. The moment the union demonstrated that they were not going to give up their innate right to withold their labour, suddenly Air Canada found a little more negotiating room.

It’s funny how fast a tentative agreement was reached after the union refused to return to work…

Never ascribe malice to that which can be explained by incompetence. I truly think they believe the bullshit they spew. They are the heros of their internal monologues.

Absolutely - their recent ‘Parental Rights’ Bill eliminated the ability of parents of Trans or questioning kids to get puberty blockers (which have long been given for numerous other conditions such as precocious puberty without issue) or any other form of gender affirming care.

If I had a kid struggling with their gender identity, I’d be forced to leave the province if I wanted to get evidence based care for my kid - even evidence based care with limited ramifications regardless of how they end up identifying.
