  • I was lucky enough to witness his jumps in 1988. Later, driving down the highway in Calgary, we pulled up behind the Jamaican bobsled team, with their sled, riding in the back of a pickup. Took a picture. Mostly forgot about it.

    It was neat at the time, but had no idea how famous they would both become.

    Attached: 1 image Is anyone collecting these superhero cards from Loblaws? I can mail them to anywhere in Canada, just let me know. One package is open as I wanted to see what they were about.

    Traffic
  • commuting times in peak traffic to Centertown, Market, Gatineau are bad everywhere. Barrhaven has the advantage of several options for heading North, depends where you are going.

  • Ontario spending $134M on 5 new police helicopters
  • car thieves aren't slipping away in car chases. The car is in a box on a ship in the ocean before the cops know anything about it.

    If the cops start digging a bit into longstanding organized crime groups, the judge will jail them for a long time. Police aren't bringing those cases.

  • Colombia's Oil Industry Stuck in Death Spiral
  • 3 nested death spirals. Or at least 2. Hydro should recover, at least temporarily, outside of El Nino.

    The article doesn't waate time on talking about what the govt might be doing instead...to...you know... transition away from oil & ng over the next 25y. They certainly won't be slapping 100% tarrifs on super cheap Chinese EVs. Now even cheaper since they can't be dumped in Europe & NA.

  • UK faces £33bn hole in finances or return to austerity, thinktank says
  • it's right wing bullshit.

    The UK is never limited in the amount of £ it can issue to cover govt deficits. Read a textbook. Issuers of currency do not borrow i that currecy. Debt and deficits have economic impacts, but there is no hard limit.

    The only reason for austerity is that rich twats want austerity so they can continue their insatiable greed.

  • Mastodon.social outage

    Mastodon.social is down. Pretty rare. What do now?

    New speed camera at Crestway - Leikin

    The new speed camera has finally arrived after ~3 years. The mounting went up earlier this spring, and the camera gear and additional signage has been installed in recent days. It was quickly vandalized with paint, but I see the crew was out working on it today.
