JustGI listened to the committee meeting where this was debated in <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ottawa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ottawa</a> and one councillor was snidely dismissive of calling Musk a “n*zi” and that we can’t control speech in this way, others had nothing to say but voted the motion down anyway cuz they don’t have the capacity to argue either way I guess, and others complained about the cost to switch etc. The city just started podcasting to try and reach more people, twitter is not essential at all <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#canada</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cdnpoli</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/onpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#onpoli</a> <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/halifax-council-votes-to-discontinue-using-x-1.7504940" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/halifax-council-votes-to-discontinue-using-x-1.7504940</a>

JustGThe sweeping generalizations never seem to get interrogated, like Pierre saying he’ll get rid of “woke” and yet what is happening before our eyes down south won’t happen here cuz it’s hyperbole right? It’s not serious right? It’s not supremacist and racist at its core right? Cuz not “all” supporters are these things right? Let’s continue minimizing cuz it can’t happen here. Or that the CPC have their own 100 day move fast and break shit plan?

JustGIt’s an interesting aspect of so called “strong-men” that they universally seem to like the fucking sledgehammer. A+B=C over and over and over because people and societies are complex and we are string through with nuance, and our existences are multi-faceted but there is none of that in men obsessed with power and unparalleled confidence in their tiny little belief systems.

JérômeLooks like the province is looking somewhat to a compromise instead of just a blanket destruction of bike lanes in Toronto.

JustGI drove all the way backroads to Kingston last weekend to buy a bike, and it’s mostly blue signs and big flags, oh and a big ol’ truck flying a Trump flag. Ever since the convoy, my own resolve to fly a flag basically evaporated, and I find it such a weird cultural clusterfuck we find ourselves in. I do find it funny that the convoy folks are mad that everyone is flying flags right now tho, but if you fly one from your vehicle?

JustGHot take for elections in <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#canada</a> if you want to run for politics at “any” level of government, you need to sell your income properties, at a minimum.

JustGThe government will 100% subsidize car ownerships for the hundreds of thousands of suburban households in this province before even coming within a mile of any other options. I hate living in a world gaslight into a mental forest fire everyday on what “affordability” is.

JustGI can’t wait to hear the pretzel justification bullshit on how Tewin is still a “feasible” project, tho given the estimated 1/2 billion dollars just to run water infrastructure into the middle of nowhere how anyone thinks is feasible is living in a different universe… anyway, if you think housing is going to be “affordable” in the middle of nowhere with car prices getting jacked… good luck to that irrationality <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ottawa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ottawa</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ontario" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ontario</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/onpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#onpoli</a>

JustGOh you want to figure out how to bike or walk to get a weeks worth of groceries? $400 seems like a lot until you’re not paying $200 a month on car insurance and this will last you for 10 yrs.
