For isolated seniors, Canada Post delivers more than mail | CBC News As the Canada Post strike hits the one-week mark, there are growing concerns for one group of Canadians who typically rely on the delivery service more than mostΒ β€” seniors.

We could be treating Canada Post as not just an essential delivery service, but an essential social infrastructure in our communities.

Instead the government prefers to treat it as a costly burden that must be subject to death by a thousand cuts.

every day some American official reminds me why I, a Canadian er... "internationalist", shouldn't travel to the United States even for international events. I was tempted for a sec by playoff baseball but will have to watch the Jays win from home with all the internationalist antifa homies

Stealing rainbows from children because you want to be a hateful weirdo to LGBT people certainly is a choice. One that doesn't have to be made.

This stretch has 3 elementary schools just off of it. It's a place that's planned to infill, and there are plans for improved transit and the city has plans for a Multi-Use Path (though I would argue there is more than enough space for a full cycle track all the way downtown).

9 Echo Place bus on Colborne St E at Forest Rd. passing Echo Place School (K-8).

If there's a place to see auto speed enforcement working it's Colborne St E, Brantford: even almost a KM away from the current location, drivers are consistently staying under 60 with many I'd say going exactly 50 (the max permitted speed) This also leaves Brantford Police to do more important work.

S.F. speed cameras are generating mountains of tickets and fines. Here are the totals so far August was the first month that San Francisco’s automated speed cameras generated citations with a fine. One camera accounted for a quarter of all the tickets, according to data.

Analysis finds that β€œcomparing a single day before the speed camera implementation with one day after, average speeds came down at every single one of those 15 corridors last month. It also found that the share of vehicles speeding by more than 10 miles an hour over the limit fell by a whopping 78%β€œ

It's been 4 months since it was revealed that Metrolinx railroader executives had drastically cut back GO expansion and I'm still livid. 2038 to electrify just the Lakeshore line. Longer than the Grand Paris Express for one above ground line. Idiots.
