The highway 17 widening between Arnprior and Renfrew has been on again off again for over a decade so lol that they're treating this approval like it's a new extension and not the latest in an ongoing boondoggle.

To Renfrew, Ont., and reconstructing a stretch of Highway 101 in northern Ontario" Lmfao. Just one more lane will fix it. Drop a few more cheques off at the next Ford wedding and it'll work out But don't worry there's a huge VIA project in the works too. It's privatised, and not high speed. Pretty badass

The trick to improving traffic congestion is to make traffic even worse via slow incremental improvements that are unnoticeable between all the other unfinished construction sites so that in 75 years we can add a bike lane and solve global warming forever

Unironically, Ontario was settled around travel by steamboat, I'm sure it would be as feasible now as in Norway, where they do that sort of thing. drat horror queefs posted:The trick to improving traffic congestion is to make traffic even worse via slow incremental improvements that are unnoticeable between all the other unfinished construction sites so that in 75 years we can add a bike lane and solve global warming forever Am I misremembering, or weren't both Fords elected specifically to get rid of bike lanes by a bee of resentful outer burgh bumpkins who drive into Toronto once a month?

Siemens, what a shocker, also mostly focuses on conventional non-high speed trains

Why would anyone buy this over Pizza Pizza (never mind any better local pizza) And unlike a lot of people especially in Toronto thread I don't live downtown lol, chain pizza is all we get - but I bet any chain pizza >>>>>> this ETA: this reminds me of when a business guy started a restaurant by Halifax waterfront and the menu became "whatever he wanted to eat", except on a national scale.

the weird thing is, we've had articles for years chastising them over expanding the menu rather than making anything good. nobody wants this poo poo. no one. not even the sun news readers who think they're wrapping themselves in the flag by only buying tim hortons. they hate it too. somehow, corporate is fundamentally incapable of conceiving of making a limited menu of higher quality items. everything has to be sub-sysco trash tier heat and serve.

i wonder if poster "frosted flake" is still around. i think he'd find this pretty annoying https://twitter.com/MarkAmesExiled/status/1779994824113869044 This January, the American Library Association (ALA) published a list of Best Historical Materials for 2023, which includes Enemy Archives: Soviet Counterinsurgency Operations and the Ukrainian Nationalist Movement—Selections from the Secret Police Archives. This compendium of Soviet documents was edited by Volodymyr Viatrovych and Lubomyr Luciuk. Viatrovych, who is currently a deputy in the Ukrainian parliament, is notorious for drafting laws glorifying Ukrainian Nazi collaborators and Holocaust perpetrators. He’s been condemned by Jewish organizations as well as the governments of Poland and Israel. Luciuk, a professor in Canada’s elite military college, has defended a Third Reich division accused of war crimes. [...] Luciuk, is a professor at the Royal Military College of Canada—the country’s equivalent of West Point. Last year, he published an edited excerpt from Enemy Archives in the National Post, a major Canadian paper. The article described the OUN as having been maligned by the USSR, which “routinely portrayed members of this Ukrainian nationalist movement as war criminals, Nazi collaborators, fascists and so on, a trope regurgitated regularly by the Russian Federation.” The piece made it sound as if the OUN’s collaboration with the Third Reich was Soviet propaganda, instead of established historical fact. The Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC) denounced the National Post for providing “space to Lubomyr Luciuk who continues to spread Holocaust distortion and disinformation.” [...] Luciuk has also vociferously defended the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Galician), commonly known as SS Galizien. This was a formation in the SS—the paramilitary arm of the Nazi Party and the chief perpetrator of the Holocaust. SS Galizien was armed, trained, and commanded by German SS officers. Its soldiers, who were overwhelmingly volunteers, swore an oath to Hitler. A video clip from USHMM archives shows the German high command staging elaborate, Nuremberg-style enlistment ceremonies with beaming recruits marching under SS banners. In 1944, the division was visited by SS head Heinrich Himmler—the mastermind of the Holocaust—who praised the fighters’ willingness to slaughter Poles. Indeed, prior to Himmler’s visit, SS Galizien subunits distinguished themselves by burning 500–1,000 Polish villagers alive. Luciuk has written numerous defenses of SS Galizien, stating that “they weren’t pro-Nazi, they weren’t anti-Semitic and they didn’t engage in war crimes.” [...] Last fall, on the occasion of a visit by Zelensky, the speaker of the Canadian Parliament recognized SS Galizien veteran Yaroslav Hunka, who was present, prompting a standing ovation by parliamentarians. The ensuing scandal led to the speaker’s resignation, an apology from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and condemnation from Canadian Jewish organizations. Luciuk disagreed. The professor employed by the Canadian military—which lost over 45,000 men in the war against Nazi Germany—claimed that “members of Parliament joined an execrable chorus of zealots and prats who gibbeted Hunka for someone he never was —‘a former Nazi.’ I’d say the House owes our fellow Canadian, and an innocent man, a public apology.” mila kunis has issued a correction as of 15:50 on Apr 16, 2024 |

It's all premade airplane food so I guess they are taking their shot with a supplier of lovely pizza. Just stick with baked goods, bring back bread bowls and chili and basic sandwiches like the tuna, chicken and egg salad. Turkey BLT was good too.

Timmy’s could win back most of its squandered goodwill and customer loyalty by doing one simple thing: Make the doughnuts fresh and bake them in-store. It’s such a no-brainer - the smell is incredible and gets people eating and buying and lingering; the whirl of white-clad bakers swooping in and out of the kitchen with big trays of hot, fresh pastries; the pastries themselves when you eat ‘em. Get rid of like 75% of the food menu that takes up so much kitchen/prep space and put the bakery stuff back instead. Just imagine the PR win. Imagine the organic marketing from word of mouth.

They're all slop-tier pizza. You know what you're getting. Especially when you're new in an area or your fav place closes it can be a crapshoot with local places trying to figure out if they're also slop, or Delissio-esque cardboard, or truly good

My wife's family, like many Ukrainian-Albertans, have been in the Prairies since the first bit of the 20th century and so missed both the rise of communism and the reactionary bullshit that followed.
