They aren’t even that young. The youngest is 23 and some are in their 30s. They are mature enough to be multimillionaires.

Small comfort but the Church in Canada has a somewhat more liberal view. Same sex marriages are not required to be carried out in all parishes, but individual pastors/churches are welcome to perform them, and - as a general principle - they are encouraged.

I hear that before amalgamation, Vanier did use the centre line clearing system.

This Canadian is laughing. And although I’m not an Albertan, would like to point out we have had white cowboy hats as the official hat of the Calgary Stampede since 1947.

This is anecdote, not evidence, but in Ottawa we had relatively few serious accidents involving cyclists and pedestrians in urban Ottawa in 2025 (where cameras were), while the number in rural and suburban was very high. And I noticed increased speeds as soon as cameras stopped working.

I biked to the hockey game and am really glad rack and roll is an option to get home.

As a Canadian of a certain age, I can think of one.

That’s a shame. And once we’ve built it, we need to maintain it.

It’s not just schools and new community centres. I have bounced around from pool to pool over the last 9 months as they get closed for major (and long overdue) maintenance, while others are forced to stay open despite significant issues because so many have already closed.

Will there be updates if city facilities are closed? And where should I be looking? I have a shift at a city pool early Monday morning.

Sadly, he signalled he would do this a while ago. He does what he says he will do. Our mistake is thinking he is just kidding, or mistaken, or bluffing, or something. We keep repeating that mistake.

Out of old Nova Scotia Kitchens is a great book. I have been using mine since the early 1980s.

Has he been to the Glebe before election time? Besides for the occasional football game maybe. I know he claims he was at a PWHL game, but I’m not convinced.

It is so maddening! I would love to take my grandson in for a bike ride in Caronto but my son is too afraid we we will become accident statistics. Which just adds to the problems of Caronto, of course.

Too small! The bike lane was too small and the SUV was too big, of course.

Oh #Autowa. Just watched someone drive on the sidewalk because the bike lane was too big for their SUV, so they could get past the car in the lane and make a right on red.
