Helping constituents navigate federal agencies and processes is a core function of Senator Hassan’s office.

…He’s not a constituent though he’s a greencard holder.

Hopefully the citywide speedlimit reduction on residential streets can help this city implement needed changes to physical infrastructure and traffic law enforcement.

Suburbs are awful for non-drivers, and will be a ton of work to improve, but Culloden(/Knight) and 41st is not a suburb. It’s where two major thoroughfares (41st and Knight) pass through a low density residential neighbourhood. We need an investigation with recommendations, but I suspect civil/traffic engineers know what’s needed and the problem is really too many carbrained voters to make serious widespread progress.

Very sad. I drive through there (1 block west of 41st and Knight) often. Hopefully the citywide speedlimit reduction on residential streets can help this city implement needed changes to physical infrastructure and traffic law enforcement.

Rage Against the Machine?

Canadians should mail letters, ring them up, fax them if they can, to let them know that any reasonable person would consider this goal post shifting a complete abdication of their responsibilities.

Everyone likes to believe they’re thinking independently.

Can you elaborate on that claim?

I exercise some critical analysis, but for the most part I just have trust in human ambition. For example: the reason I believe human CO2 emissions are driving climate change is not because I’ve looked at the evidence and evaluated it for myself.

The reason I believe that human CO2 emissions are driving climate change is: that seems to be the consensus of people that have worked hard to impartially develop expertise and gather data to understand climate science.

There are two important systems at play

1: Scientific research, which harnesses human ambition by rewarding impartial research and discoveries which overturn old assumptions/paradigms.

2: Journalism, which harnesses human ambition by rewarding impartial reporting on various fields of human interest. (Reporting is why it seems to be the consensus of the scientific community)

The impartiality of these systems is (has always been) under assault by capitalism (which also derives its power by harnessing human ambition) and so one must, to an increasing degree, evaluate the appropriate level of personal mental effort to allocate to identifying biases in the reporting.

we’ll do everything we can to make sure approvals happen quickly… …and routinely

So you’ll do nothing because that would change the routine?

Glee?

Suspend the site’s permit until the organization shows that it takes its obligations seriously.

The violence is shocking and unacceptable. It’s totally possible islamophobia caused the situation to escalate to violence so dramatically. I hope it gets considered at trial.

Maybe beaver teeth go from orange to brown when they die due to further iron oxidation

Facebook sucks and has for quite some time.

In Canada we passed a regulation that social media sites have to pay our media companies to link to their articles. Google is paying up, but Facebook said no, and has banned news. It has made Facebook here much less terrible.

The ‘her’ is the author, the ‘they’ is the activist.

The comment was in relation to the size of the settlement, and the author’s satisfaction with the judgement.

CSE did not say how many Canadians were impacted

Was it all of us, or 5 of us?

A normal person would write

Just like how the law equally prevents the rich and the poor from sleeping under bridges.

I remember learning about the denial of the denial of the anti Muslim comments years ago. It’s offensive that America would send this troglodyte to us.

So if I’m in Vancouver BC it would go from Friday to Saturday in the mid afternoon? Is Friday night the first night of the weekend or the last night of the work week?

I could be convinced that there is a part of Paris that is like that. It doesn’t look like a part of Paris anyone would want to spend much time in though.

They did actually sue someone for the exclusive right to call themselves “crappy tire”:

IIRC someone was hosting a Canadian Tire complaint website “crappytire.com” and in trying to get it shut down Canadian Tire used the legal argument that this person was infringing Canadian Tire’s identity (“We are the legitimate Crappy Tire, and this person is an imposter”) and the domain should be surrendered to them. They won. edit: They lost.
