I personally believe we should never put government/government collected data on a foreign IT platform. Ever.

Better than no regrets; I've started putting half a braincell into my purchases again, so I've been able to weigh local and sustainable in my purchasing decisions.

There’s not much to say, Canada, except: Sorry in c/[email protected]

Of course not.

But I've got plans in case you do. And I need to watch for early warning signs because my child will be shelled in the opening salvo.

My kid's daycare is right beside the military base in Kingston. This base is within artillery range of Fort Drum. There is a 100% chance she gets shelled during the opening salvo.

My wife and I have agreed upon a set of leading indicators to send my child to rural Cape Breton, and another set to send them to friends in Europe.

I will die at the border of this great nation, but my child's life is not mine to forfeit.

Oil is only a 10% tarrif.

Though im onboard with adding a 15% export tarrif to bring it in line.

Better for people with physical handicaps

At least the people with handicaps that can still drive.

It actively makes the transportation landscape worse for those without hearing or sight or a mobilty reducing handicap that disallows driving.

I love listening to people talk about Trudeau in the office:

He does nothing for oil companies that "drive our economy."

He also wastes money on TMX.

He also doesn't do enough to separate our economy from the states, like building TMX.

He also doesn't do enough to tie pur economy to the states.

[misc] Call for help - Ontarians (self.fuckcars)

Ontarians, I need your help.

This week I was pulled over by the police for having a kid's seat on my e-bike. I was informed this is illegal in Ontario as Sec. 38 of the HTA doesn't allow anyone under the age of 16 to be on a power-assisted or motor assisted bicycle.

In 2021 the Moving Ontarians More Safely Act came out that separated power-assisted bicycles (like e-bikes) from motor assisted bicycles (like dirt bikes). This will finally allow child seats on e-bikes.

Please call your MPP to get this bill that passed and assented 3 years ago into law.

Details on the wording of the current and assented laws:

currently the Highway Traffic Act, section 38, states : "No person who is the owner or is in possession or control of a motor assisted bicycle or power-assisted bicycle shall permit a person who is under the age of 16 years to ride on, drive or operate the motor assisted bicycle or power-assisted bicycle on a highwau"

the Moving Ontarians More Safely Act, 2021, S.O. 2021, C. 26 - Bill 282 splits this into a few sections: "No person under the age of 14 years shall operate a power-assisted bicycle described in clause (a) of the definition" "No person under the age of 16 years shall operate a power-assisted bicycle described in clause (b) or (c)" and the new section 38.1: "No person under the age of 16 years shall ride on, drive or operate a motor assisted bicycle on a highway" From my perspective this will make e-bikes legal to have kids seats; and separate the class away from gas and electric dirt bikes.
