    I agree. Let’s give the youth of today something to be proud of and look forward to instead of the old find a job, work for life, die, rinse and repeat, watch the world die, circular bullshit we’ve got going on now. We need plans for the future for both the environment and the earth’s population. This would certainly instill a sense of both community and national pride.

    Say we overhauled our firefighting and massively expanded controlled burns would that help, or would it just draw out the smoke inhilation at lower levels?

    excluding Indigenous peoples In the GTA, this group overlaps significantly with immigration: more than 90 percent of visible minorities are either immigrants or the Canadian-born children of immigrants. Was helpful, thank you I would say it makes sense that people from countries less progressive than Canada (a lot of the world) would vote conservatively

    I’m being a bit pedantic. The CN Tower is a tower, not technically a building. It’d need to have a majority of its interior space to be habitable to be considered a building. It is, however, the tallest freestanding structure in Toronto. It is incredibly expensive and difficult to make a habitable building as tall as the CN Tower, which is why I doubt any will be built in Toronto. As of now, there are only 5 buildings in the world that surpass the CN Tower in height.

    You mean the 11% service fee, the delivery fee, the dasher tip, and the taxes, which, when added is usually around twice the cost of the actual items?

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/31216367 Sunwapta Falls Easy two mile out and back trail located along the icefields parkway south of Jasper. The main falls are located at the beginning of the hike and the trail follows along the river downstream, revealing several more waterfalls as you go. River access can be had at the end of the trail as it leaves the canyon. The upper area gets a ton of usage, as does the second falls which are fairly close by and have a good viewing area. Thins out a little beyond that, but its a short hike so stays fairly busy. [image: 3102ce9a-d798-4674-a3a7-ae51bc9216e8.jpeg] The second falls (not including the big chute that comes out from the upper falls). Drops around 15 ft before going into another chute. [image: fc894a08-4261-45c5-853a-7006fdf0090a.jpeg] The outflow from the uppermost waterfall rushing under the bridge above. Over time it has carved a curving path into the rock on the side with this viewpoint. [image: c3f13eb0-56da-4577-8dc1-eb02a6d0bff6.jpeg] Looking downstream from this large waterfall just off the trail. When hiking, you will be afforded other angles of the falls as you continue the trail. The Catacombs Mountains can be seen in the distance.

    Based on the CBC report, there is so much to unpack here: “Halifax now has the third-worst congestion in Canada and the fifth-worst congestion in North America,” Fillmore said. “People here are spending 83 hours a year stuck in traffic. That’s the equivalent of 12 working days behind the wheel in gridlock.” Mayor, people in cars aren’t “stuck in traffic” they are the traffic. The idea that putting more people on roads (by not having them use other forms of transportation) will somehow fix traffic congestion is so terribly wrong. Coun. Sam Austin said he was disappointed in Fillmore’s motion and said bike lanes do not cause traffic congestion. He said delaying the work on bike lanes would worsen traffic. Yup. And any work needed to expand car-centric infrastructure would absolutely worsen traffic, and then induce demand, which puts you back to square one without solving any problems. Originally planned to be completed in 2022, about 60 per cent of the 53 kilometres of network has been done so far with temporary or permanent measures. The bicycle network’s original expected cost of about $25 million has more than tripled, now reaching about $93 million. The provincial and federal governments have contributed about $20.8 million, leaving about $66 million for the Halifax Regional Municipality to pay over the next few years. 53km of network for $93 million??? For context, Durham Region, which has a significantly larger population, has estimated that over 200km of cycling network would cost them around $81 million. Even so… Halifax spends more than $50 million each year to repave streets, with this year’s capital budget totalling $314 million. And those costs will continue to rise if the focus is on car-centric infrastructure. You don’t “get back” the money you put into road maintenance like you do with active transportation and public transportation.

    Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has said she is not in favour of Alberta leaving Canada, but would support a referendum if enough voters want one. She has appealed to First Nations leaders in her province to support provincial sovereignty and promised to protect their rights, according to a letter to chiefs obtained by APTN News. If she is not in favour of separation, why is she appealing to the First Nations leaders to support it and vowing to protect their rights if it happens?

    Sounds about right. The trash collectors around here work like they’re on piecework. Complete garbage way to treat people - offer the appreciation bbq but no reduction in work.
