As we pass day 12 of the Canada Post strike, I happened to dig up some old CUPW pins my mom had during the rotating strikes lasting 19 days in 1987. She has a lot of fascinating stories about labour action in this country.

Cartoon of additional car lane just leading to the same congestion with more cars stuck in it.

If you’re REALLY trying to β€œsolve” traffic congestion, then road widenings and more car lanes are expensive exercises in futility β€” unless of course your REAL goal is even more people driving more often and longer in the same or worse congestion, fuelled by a lot more suburban sprawl. #induceddemand

This is so funny, I absolutley love it. The best was the quote from the owner of the Onion's parent company: β€œWith a shrewd mix of delusional paranoia and dubious anti-aging nutrition hacks, they strive to make life both scarier and longer for everyone, a commendable goal.”

Alright Vancouver, I saw an owl in East Van recently. I'm hearing from friends and co-workers seeing them. Is this normal or is there something going on? Who's seeing them?
