We should build all the buildings out of kindling.

Except when you realize that in both cases, the opposition tried really hard to manufacture a scandal and win an election on it.

I think Lando read the same article I read from the actual historian, but it's hard to find it now.

Like, everyone's name?

It seems some time spent learning would help understanding the nuance here. But this entire conversation has been godwinned.

Good to see Quebec wants to join another Canadian province. Weather forecast says 'fair'.

The headline suggests one group was able to 'both sides' the vote and confuse the locals. Good scheming, guys!

momentum and electability, and shares the most overlap [with goals]

Two things we look for on the provincial and federal scale, if we foolishly ignore momentum.

Although SkyTrain has been proven successful in densely populated urban areas of our region, SkyTrain cannot feasibly be expanded all the way to Chilliwack. This would incur travel times longer than driving and be prohibitively expensive to construct rather than exploring cheaper, faster regional rail technology.

• it went out to Cultis Lake in the 1940s. It even carried fedex-type packages. It went to NorthVan, and it went to the Sumas border crossing on a spur.
• a similar service was massively extended to similar distances before; and beyond. The most noticeable feature missing here is 'express' trains which pass by (most) local stations without stopping, staying at speed for much of the way and quickly escaping the dense metro.

Pushing people onto expensive regional tickets for their daily commute is a little "let them eat cake" elitist.

the NDP at a provincial level talk big about going green, but then build a pipeline across the provinces

I think you misremember the NDP's continued resistance to the pipeline, which ultimately was located on federal land. Remember it was all a ploy to placate the Conservatives, and remember how poorly it did anything when it comes to placating that howling one-tooth mob next time.

and tell private citizens “by an electric vehicle”.

I am pretty sure this wasn't done by an electric vehicle specifically.

... handily defeated by placing your mouse on top of a wristwatch.

Hey, pictures of the wrong people may be the best he can do. Celebrate the attempt to look humane through deceit and trickery instead of the deceit and trickery itself.

We have every other day in the year to focus on this guy's half-truths and sad blunders.

Premiere Smith?

... and then coming to terms with it like Germany has for theirs.

The second part is as important as it is unfortunately damaging to some closely-clutched points of view.

** Clovis People have entered the...**

Oh, wait.

Guinness stopped recording some records, apparently, because of the increasing health risk in trying to break those records.

If this is a Guinness record he's challenging, I can't see that as a long-term thing.

A lot of munis and many dotcoms use Teams. The recording is almost automatic.

Let the volunteers search.

These people ARE volunteering when they're protesting, right?

So demand isn't somehow linked with supply?

Electric cars are here to save the auto industry, not the planet.

This is an interesting bowling I haven't heard before.

Totally agree that for areas with any population density we need good, regular and frequent mass transit.

I also believe that areas without good density, we need to convert to pockets of density to enable funding for transit. Also, hoarding ornamental land in North America is a dead old throwback to frontier days and we need to remediate those out to more shared or natural or aggro space.

We've spent too many years enabling this land hoarding by changing natural and aggro space to fucking mcmansion estates and that shit has to stop.
