Does it have Super Cruise? The only reason I didn't buy the original Bolt was because it was inexplicably missing adaptive cruise control, which I consider mandatory.

Imagine being an Ontario opposition party and not being able to capitalize on this private seizure of public land?

Israel is allowing some "airdrops" of food in Gaza. This is like putting a violin group at the railway station to the death camp. All show.

#PeoplePower - remember it is yours, claim it, remember its power! Don’t let it go!

What had worked was quiet, broad-based consumer behaviour. Ordinary Canadians, with no official leadership, had collectively altered the economic conversation between Canada and its largest trading partner.

Today, you can visit Keefer’s beautiful waterworks at the Hamilton Museum of Steam and Technology. Thanks to the City of Hamilton's Water Division and Civic Museums for their generous time and help creating this week’s post.

i’m not at all surprised to see our governments are this spineless in the face of an active genocide

"Who are you going to believe, the man who has been fishing these waters for decades and knows them like the back of his hand? Or a government known for gross overreach, excessively aggressive border defense, detaining a tourist because of a meme on his phone, and disappearing a man...". :/
