    Since the GTA was amalgamated, it's made Toronto conservative due to the suburbs now being part of Toronto. This has significantly grown conservative support since. Also, we need to vote more.

    Jump
  • CowsLookLikeMaps CowsLookLikeMaps 4 weeks ago 100%

    Goodyear Canada is set to invest more than half a billion dollars to expand and modernize its tire plant in southeastern Ontario, with the goal of making the plant net-zero in less than two decades.

    Car tires will not help us achieve net zero. EVs will marginally help but we achieve net zero with walkable/bikeable cities and improving our public transit infrastructure to be the fastest and most convenient option.

    I think we can fix it by spending another 10 billion on new highways and additional lanes instead of funding transit. Surely, it will work this time. ~/s~

    The word for this is fundamentalism. When people believe it's their way or the highway and all others must conform.

    However, in the case of trans folk, I think it's a bit different. They're not forcing pronouns on others, just asking that they be shown basic human respect. If you were a straight man, I'm sure you'd get pretty annoyed if someone insisted on calling you a woman nonstop. Sometimes, people need to be louder when they're facing an existential crisis as they are in the USA among other places.

    Worth a look at Coros. I find their battery life and product support to be much better than the garmin watches I've owned. They even added maps as an update for existing watches when they could have forced people to buy a new watch for that feature. Not FOSS though.

    If there was an open source GPS watch that could last long enough with enough accuracy for my workouts, I'd be all over it!
