There are headwinds: EV incentives are being removed, electricity prices are climbing, and there’s the cultural antipathy towards climate action from the US.

Here’s hoping it still works out tho.

According to a CBC commentator, Carney hinted that a Chinese EV factory may be in the cards. Apparently that was only in a French interview.

It’ll be interesting to see how the EV thing shakes out. Apparently the new vehicles will be priced starting at 33k, which is way less than less subsidized EVs (at least the ones I’ve looked at). AFAICT, there were around 250k EVs sold, so 49k would make a pretty big crater in sales from incumbents.

I’d really like it if we built more here, ideally from a Canadian manufacturer, but that’s looking less likely all the time.

But it’s good news for our other sectors.

The problem is dealing with existing roads. Ottawa probably has thousands of kilometers of poorly designed road. We can’t afford to tear it all up to fix it at once. Speed cameras provide a good fix for existing roads that haven’t been rebuilt yet.

Don’t forget big speed limit signs!

Isn’t that where Amazon makes 1/3 of their money?

Toronto housing advocate Mark Richardson called the pause “unsurprising.”

“Inclusionary zoning has always been something that would only work in a really strong economy, because you are essentially putting the burden of providing the affordable housing units directly on the private landowners.”

Dude is correct. It seems like an interest-free loan from CMHC Build Canada Homes could have been a way to get the affordable housing built.

The city of Ottawa study shows that drivers also slow down when traffic laws are enforced.

We should definitely build safer roads, but while we’re waiting for that, we should bring back speed cameras.

I’d say it’s an explicit approval of speeding, but I’m splitting hairs.

The stats from the city of Ottawa show that drivers slow down when speed regulations are enforced.

I fully support improving roads to make them safer. In the meantime, enforcement of existing rules seems like a low cost alternative.

Why try to reconnect? Everything you’ve listed is (more or less) true. If you’d rather not contribute to that shit pile, then don’t. You don’t need to be in control of a bunch of this stuff. If you’d like to opt out, then you should. It sounds like that would be more fulfilling to you.

The original is in a better format. The thing from OP was extracted… somehow.

The expansion doesn’t include anything east of Quebec, so New Brunswick isn’t getting any new reporters.

I wasn’t playing when THAC0 was a thing. It sounds unnecessarily confusing. But damn, is that fun to say.

I really enjoyed the Rifts and Robotech settings. I almost picked up one of the Rifts reprints, but I decided I don’t need that much nostalgia in my life.

Everything I hear about Lancer sounds cool. I’d love to give it a shot.

Interesting that the expansion excludes the Atlantic provinces. Presumably the bulk of population growth has hit the western provinces, so I guess that’s cool?

tl;dr it’s a webkit zero day.

huh. Are there popular replacements in the wings?

I tried posting some stuff for a niche comm a while back. A bunch of upvotes, but no conversation or meaningful comments.

Meanwhile, I post something similar on a niche subreddit and get some great comments, encouragement, and friendly chit-chat. I wish we had that here.
