  • Thank goodness Ontario scrapped that carbon tax back in April 1st, 2025 with the expressed intent it was to lower the cost of fuels and save consumers money. /s

    The action, was intended to reduce inflation and lower the cost of living as it was put.

    I guess gas stations did not get the memo and instead pocketed the difference?

  • Hwys really should not need to be any wider that what's shown in this photo.

    Trucks and trailers on the right always, cars in the middle, and passing on the left.

    Or for our UK friend's. Lorries on the left always, cars in the middle, and passing on the right.

  • The solution is better road-way design and classifications.

    Changing a speed limit sign on a roadway does not change the roadways "designed" or "perceived" speed limit.

    When changing signage, the roadway also need to change.

    Example, you can't increase the signed speed limit to 100 kph on a residential street without first a complete redesign of said street into a hwy. This is done by removing driveways, speedbumps, crosswalks, stop signs, and roundabouts. Without this redesign of the roadway this residential street would not make a really good hwy. The exact reverse is true. A hwy does not make a good residential street.

  • Worth a watch, a five-part documentary television series called Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV (2024)

    It details the toxic behind-the-scenes world of children's television programs from the 1990s to the 2000s, with a special focus on Dan Schneider's tenure as a producer and showrunner at Nickelodeon.

  • Absolutely correct, Canadian Newspaper pulled the same thing, but they also blocked social media sites from sharing or posting links to their sites, blaming the links were "summarized". Their argument was the links were being summarized and users were not visiting the Newspapers website.

    So social media sites blocked all links of Canadian news, then Newspapers cried foul after a drop in traffic.

    Funny enough when you see a summarized link, such as ones that show a picture and maybe a sentence, the content shown in that summary is directly controlled by the site being linked.

  • That happened in Canada as well a while back.

    Funny story though, web extracts that become visible when you share a link for example on a social media platform or even through a text message are actually "controlled" by the source website.

    This means the short summary that can range from a sentence to a few sentences is actually completely in the hands of the source website and is not actually "scrapped" when the link is shared.
