Not only changing TZ even moving within the same one. Today there's 40 minutes difference between sunset in Québec city and Toronto. That would get me every time.

having seen dreams shattered by a 9th inning Dodgers HR before, never to get another shot, i truly hope they get back soon.

just tried to new process. Easiest for "phone number" was to pull down, select Canada to get the +1 then enter 10 digits. i did enter a valid area code, but not sure if that is even checked.

still doesn't justify asking for 4 fields, with it seems some weird validation error tests.

to me the only reason for this is to

1)increase the number of abandonments, something i have heard from people trying to fill out when it wasn't required, and
2)scare some people on privacy

both resulting in 311 not being able to address the situation.

For me it's more about being nimble. Contact email, infraction, submit.

The anti-car brigade is really fucking weird. 

The way they act like someone who drives regularly kills babies and kicks old ladies down the stairs is really fucking bizarre.

It's not that every individual driver is a murderous asshole (I'm not!). It's that car dependency as a whole is dangerous. It's that cars are deadly when they hit people. It's that our society prioritizes drivers above all else. It's about a system that is dangerous for anyone not in a car.

As I said above, Montreal still healing from "autoroutification", where highway-style interchanges were believed to be the solution for unusual urban intersections, prime example being the Pine-Parc interchange.
Look at that monstrosity, impossible to cross on foot.
Pic on right is the replacement.

also they need to stop preventing pedestrian through on sloppy part for over a week when their is an event with nothing staged on the hill. this happened 5 or 6 times this summer.

They are also investigating why my email from Sept, in which I said this needed to be addressed immediately before someone is killed got marked as “low priority”.

considering his mom and aunt did some wonderful songs in French in the 70s, this was true confidence.

makes no sense to me.

though i would guess "glorieux émois!" (glorious emotions!) for that last one if i thought he was trying to say anything sensible

If you're sending prayers to Jamaica and still pro pipeline and LNG, you're part of the problem.

what about the roads to get you anywhere, who pays for those?

thanks for that. although i would never have guessed the Lady Gaga song, even with the connection. not part of my repertoire, and not what i would have picked as a guess

is the Connection generally supposed to make it easy to go back on questions you didn't know?

except if it's another idiotic only 5 seconds signal for bikes in the whole cycle.

it's not only "right on red", in the video the driver got a "priority green arrow right"..

at least right on red driver is supposed to verify conflict with other vehicles, with a turn green even I would not expect to enter in conflict with perpendicular traffic.

i understand that, but you still need to be able to handle a right turn as i don't see a no turn right. there needs to be a green box to protect cyclists.
