Proposed Canada Post price hike could make sending mail more expensive
  • China was considered a developing country with cheaper rates for a long time by the Universal Postal Union, an international agreement that sets the rates for postage. The agreement was renegotiated recently so maybe that will change.

    Singh: Anti-worker move proof that Trudeau caves to corporate greed
  • What’s your logic for treating it separately? The tracks and roads both serve as infrastructure to move people and goods around, yet the public owns only roads.

    We could keep more train conductors employed too if we had a fairer access system for tracks.

    Singh: Anti-worker move proof that Trudeau caves to corporate greed
  • We don’t allow freight and logistics companies to own highways, so we do we still let them own track?

    The public should own the tracks. Rail companies should be freed to focus on competing for cargo and passengers.

    Have had my LinkedIn Profile Deactivated for over a year now, yet still reciving emails from LinkedIn...
  • This is why I use an email aliasing service now. Every new site gets a different email address but they all get forwarded to the same account. If one ever misbehaves, their associated email address alias gets deactivated. It’s great to keep track of who’s selling addresses too.

    Sometimes unsubscribe just isn’t good enough.

    [338 Canada] British Columbia Popular vote projection
  • They weren’t social liberals but they were still liberals nonetheless, and their position on the spectrum was closer to where most liberals are internationally, the centre-right. Take a look at Australia and Britain’s liberals for example. Only in the US are liberals considered to be the left wing because there’s only 2 viable options and actual leftists in the US who vote have to settle with being in the same party as liberals rather than having their own party, which the fptp voting system would ensure would fail. US media has not helped by misrepresenting the definition for decades.

    The federal party is run by social liberals, which are centrist.

    What is something you want to use, yet are NOT using?
  • Bazzite. I had it working well for a while but a bad update broke it to the point where I can’t login with Gnome anymore and I’ve stopped trying to make it work. I should be able to revert to the last good snapshot with grub, but I’m a little tired of tinkering, workarounds, and incomplete docs. I like the premise, but I think I need a fresh start with a new distro.

    Are Electric Cars the Solution?
  • Have we ever thought they were a solution and not just a stopgap?

    Until proper alternatives are fully operational, EVs are not the worst thing.

    You’re undercutting your own argument here.

    EVs make sense in rural contexts, but that is and will always be a niche application. We can’t afford to ignore the bigger picture - most people live in cities. There are more efficient and better options to decarbonize cities than electric cars.

    As the other commenter pointed out, electric cars are a step. A lot of people living in cities are ready to go farther now though. Let’s not ignore them or get in their way.
