Cost of redeveloping former Bay building in Winnipeg now $310M, Southern Chiefs says

  • It certainly seems to contradict the notion that VIA has no involvement - in fact, as near as I can tell, Alto is still a VIA subsidiary. But maybe that's wrong, it's a little unclear.

    I don't think it necessarily invalidates the idea of it being a "fast track to privatization," or that ticket prices will be high.

  • Normally, this would be more of a c/quarks post, but fuck it, this is important.

    It sucks.

    All the major American media companies have done this, but that's not an excuse. It still sucks.

    If there's any hope at all (and I'm not completely convinced that there is), it's in statements like this:

    To be the best storytellers and to continue to drive success, we must have a highly talented, dedicated and creative workforce that reflects the perspectives and experiences of our many different audiences. Values like inclusivity and collaboration are a part of the Paramount culture and will continue to be.

    That might be an indication that the policies themselves are sort of still in place, but under a different name. However, if they're discontinuing all metrics related to it, there will be no real way to know whether their "values" have a significant impact.

  • I think the design was originally intended for use on boats, and other places where tipping is a likely occurrence.

  • I wonder if those would fit - the article says that these "replimat-style" mugs are smaller than the Highwave "Quark's" mugs, but I suppose they could have the same base.

  • I think the critical weaknesses identified in the article are astute: economically vulnerable/disadvantaged people, and disinformation, especially on social media.

  • It's interesting that they didn't bother replicating (heh) the rubber base of the originals. Too many added costs, I suppose.

  • "Progressive Conservative," the dominant right-wing political party in the province (and current opposition party).

  • There's been a rash of machete attacks in Winnipeg over the last couple of years.

  • Okay, I'm not buying this, because I never buy the large bundles, but this is fabulous.

    Starfleet Armored Security Guard Uniform (ca. 2271)

  • Revamped the Original Series Constitution and Pioneer models with a higher resolution model and a new material (named Type 0a) inspired by the Enterprise's Smithsonian restoration.

    Nifty!

  • I'm hardly an expert, but I think the Navy is in notoriously bad shape, even by Canadian national defense standards.

  • If you have a helpful resource, such as a compilation of Canadian artists in the past year, let me know and I can edit it into this post.

    The list of 2025 Juno nominees would probably be a good (but imperfect) place to start.

  • This is good for unions and other above-board groups, but I can't help but wonder how this affects the various "dark money" lobby groups that have unclear ownership, but have been buying political ads across the country.

  • I honestly didn't know until recently that it was still on the books - the school I attended dropped it sometime around 1991.
