Used in a sentence:

All the parts for a yogurt maker.

All the parts for a yogurt maker.

I bought this yogurt maker from Lee Valley Tools. I should be able to make Greek yogurt with it, save money, and reduce plastic containers. I’m just waiting for a milk thermometer from cheesemaker.ca (thanks @fagankara.bsky.social for the heads up about that company).

The β€˜Forever Canadian’ Petition Could Bring a Snap Alberta Election | The Tyee Danielle Smith is unlikely to allow a referendum based on the pro-Canada question promoted by Thomas Lukaszuk.

Will Danielle Smith allow a referendum to proceed to a vote? This would derail the nefarious scheme by the Alberta premier to blackmail Canada into conferring near-national status on Alberta by threatening a separation referendum followed by quick recognition by the premier's MAGA allies.

The weird thing is, if you use the merge lane, then people let you zipper merge! It's like they know it's right, but it's too new.

In Freddy, there's a merge lane heading upriver on Riverside Dr from the PMB. Everyone joins the left lane before the right hand merge lane. Result, less traffic thru the green light. Keep thinking that will improve, but nope, they're all watching Fox News

It isn’t surprising that this would be happening with a 79-year-old man. The crazy and dangerous part is that there’s an entire political movement and media ecosystem that rationalizes, justifies, and tries to retroactively validate every synapse misfire that escapes his mouth.

If you're driving your vehicle illegally and you're under the influence and you murder someone, sorry but that is a lot of sin by omission happening there. To only charge him for HTA infractions is the real crime.

β€œYou always feel the weight of the world and decisions you make, but when you feel a country, it gets a little dicey at times, like the 6th inning with the bases loaded, nobody out and Aaron Judge hitting. You feel like people in Nova Scotia want to come murder you.” β€” Toronto manager John Schneider

Justice ISN'T compromise.βš–οΈπŸ‘€

Because those who have no use for it will lie, cheat and hurt you anyway.

A better future is created only when the majority refuse to treat with the intolerant.

Any society that tolerates racism, misogyny, bigotry or hate is doomed to fail.

Painfully.

I can't wait for Conservatives to be consistent with previous tough-on-crime sentiments and demand jail time instead of house arrest.
That's going to happen, right?

But not software engineers. I mean the word 'soft' is right there n'all. Not sure about 'civil' engineers either.

Observations from Montreal An ever-changing collection of commentary and observations by Montrealers or about Montreal politics and culture.

β€œThe β€˜Freedom Convoy’ was a foreign-funded occupation and political destabilization movement, not a grassroots stand against COVID mandates. What we saw in Ottawa was not a protest, but a full-blown occupation meant to terrorize and disrupt people’s lives.”
