This shouldn't be a problem. How do drone operators not know better?

Thank you.

I think the point being made in the Liberal YouTube video is partly causing the change in the polling numbers...

Choose 20 films that have stayed with you or influenced you.

One film per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just movie posters.

Perspective.

The light is coming back.

Winter started 46 days ago, the darkest day of the year.

Spring is 43 days away.

December 21 had 8:48:35 of light.

Today we will have 10:01:09 of light.

We gained 1:12:34 of light. We over halfway through winter.

Yes. I think this is the much bigger problem. The US as unreliable ally.

As the US becomes increasingly bizarre and weird Canadians can choose to remain vulnerable to this declining empire's convulsions

or we can try and carve out some democratic choice by diversifying the economy away from climate destroying resources and building up domestic economic capabilities.

Here's a fact most Americans don't know:
The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is the largest purchaser of wine by dollar value in the world.
The LCBO has shut the flow of all American beer, wine, spirits.
We will drink "Freedom wines" from our allies and beer from our communities.

Tariff On Canada Not Justified By U.S. Immigration And Drug Claims Evidence suggests that the justification for a 25 percent import tariff on Canadian goods and services does not hold up to scrutiny. Here is why.

โ€œIn 2024, USCBP seized 21,148 pounds of fentanyl at the southwest border, mostly smuggled from Mexico. In contrast, only 43 pounds were intercepted at the northern border. This means that less than 1% of all fentanyl seizures occurred at the U.S.-Canada borderโ€

Frankly, that's why I chose to include them all.

I will note, by just accounts and acknowledging that they won't be a reliable partner, at least for now ... Alberta is on Team Canada

I don't know how much illegal fentanyl flows south across the border, but I do know that however much it is it pales in comparison to the number of illegal guns flowing north across the border.

"Now is the time to do your part. Pick Canadian made products, opting for Canadian rye over Kentucky bourbon, or forgoing Florida orange juice. Changing your summer vacation plans to staying in Canada ... We must pull together, because we love this country" - Trudeau

They're competing with each other for the best orders, punished for things out of their control, and get no protection under labour law

Alexandra's Poutine special was $20 + HST + tip, free delivery: ~$25-27

Uber Eats
$26 + fees of $9 + HST + tip @ 15% = ~$45

and you were worse off because (I assume) there's a fee for DashPass.

So...
Government gets a little more
Restaurant gets a lot less
Most leaves the country
= Bad economics

Why some Canadian towns are seeing pushes to keep crosswalks white, let certain flags fly

Preventing the marginalized from being seen is not neutrality. This is Orwellian double speak.

Watching the world move backwards is a unsettling and now daily occurrence.

A listener is reporting multiple vehicles off the road on Highwa 101 between exits 3 and 4 (Mt Uniake/Ellerhouse)

Police are on the scene - and apparently it's quite icy on that stretch.

You might want to avoid that area, or be ready to slow down in the area #NSTraffic

This is unfortunate news. The effort to bring or keep prices down doesn't account for the low-price options being bought up by the "Big Three"

Perspective.

The light is coming back.

Winter started almost five weeks ago, the darkest day of the year.

Spring is 56 days away.

December 21 had 8:48:35 of light.

Today we will have 9:28:59 of light.

We gained 0:40:24 of light, over two-thirds an hour.

On Halifax Water, could it be that we're all becoming Homers [*Simpson]?

The machines look after things, we watch the machines but really aren't doing anything anymore. It makes it easy to miss five phone calls to avoid inconveniencing and potentially harming thousands of people.

I am surviving the boil water order.
My cat, however, is not happy. She does not get her few minutes of running water in the morning.

Messin' with me is one thing, messin' with the cat ...

Headlights seem a lot brighter these days โ€” because they are

As more and more of these lights hit the road the problem is going to get worse.
