"Zero means zero" (car free days)

I never get to do BREAKING NEWS, but here's some: B.C. is scrapping the time change, which reams of scientific research and anecdata from exhausted parents can tell you is a good thing. here's an update to my reporting from last year, which now has a more celebratory tone:

I welcome our new Pacific Time overlords

B.C. to end time changes, adopt year-round daylight time | CBC News March 8 will be the last time British Columbians have to change their clocks, B.C. Premier David Eby announced Monday.

More than 80% of people consistently cited their preference for permanent daylight savings in polls, there’s a realm of data that says it supports better outcomes, and it’s very fun when a government can say “we control how time works”.

About a slam dunk win as you can get these days.

Safe Parkside, site of the speed camera that was cut down over & over leading to Doug ford banning them, reports another high speed crash on Saturday via their IG account. Somebody will die here again. Doug Ford’s Ontario.

I’m actually not sure we can come back from “prediction markets for war crimes”, as a society. I think this might be it for us.

I saw this and at first thought "no, there's no way 'we definitely had alternative leadership in mind for Iran but I blew them up alongside the schoolgirls using AI' is what the White House is actually saying, that's too clueless and evil to be real"

Lloyd Axworthy: Canada once rejected America’s aggressive, unlawful foreign policy. Today Mark Carney embraced it By endorsing preventive strikes on Iran during ongoing diplomacy, and after Washington itself shredded the previous agreement, we are embracing the very doctrine we used to reject, writes Lloyd Axwort...

Canada's former foreign minister Lloyd Axworthy: "We invoke international law and the 'rules based order' when adversaries engage in unlawful actions, but abandon those same rules entirely when it's the Americans — whose gov't 60% of Canadians see as a threat"

Damien Cox: Auston Matthews made his choice, seemingly putting the party and the president ahead of the playoffs It was always going to be a balancing act being the captain of the U.S. Olympic team and the Maple Leafs, and Matthews fell off the wire, Damien Cox writes.

The Toronto Star came through. They tore Auston Matthews to shreds.

What kind of dumb title is this??

Density is not like a reaper coming for you, if anything it’s savior coming to save your city’s financial viability and environmental sustainability.

Could not be more proud of you, Team Canada.
 
You’re coming home with 21 hard-fought Olympic medals. Though what Canadians will remember most is how you wore the Maple Leaf: with pride, with grit, and with determination.

My kingdom for a referee who can count to five

Little-known international rule that teams can play 6 guys against Canada only, as a little treat

Also this is what Canada gets for wearing a black maple leaf. Stop that shit.

Literally never seen Mitch take the puck to the net like that once in the playoffs for Toronto. Not once.

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

everyone with an IQ above paste could have predicted this would happen: anyway; these Meta glasses are ontologically evil and anyone who wears them is a creeping blood-worm who should be chased from society with stones and sharp sticks

Interesting story but I don’t see what him being bi has anything to do with it.

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”

This is why we need to be telling our stories.

What a moment.

CANADA MENTIONED

Kind of gives away the whole game that all the crypto ads this year have been replaced with gambling and AI ads.

loved every second of Bad Bunny. That message of inclusion and a celebration of cultures like Puerto Rico’s is just what America needs right now. Plus, his music just gets you in motion. 10/10

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

They sang “American Idiot”

The Minister of AI having an "ongoing engagement" with the government of Israel on technology and AI is deeply concerning. No, it’s just plain wrong. It makes Canada vulnerable to international legal consequences, and it takes Canada far down the wrong path.

this is my millennial activation phase
