In the case of Toronto presumably water is a municipal responsibility… Reserves are a federal responsibility though so you’d think they would be responsible here. The government has actually been putting in a ton of money on this issue and as the article says the number of boil water advisories is down by like 2/3 since the Liberals came to power. So also kinda weird argument by the justice department here.

It uses the nomenclature from brochures etc. Trifolds have two folds but 3 panels.

It makes the heating more even. The microwaves aren’t uniform inside so rotating helps even things out.

I think it’s supposed to be inflation adjusted?

What is intelligence though? Maybe I’m getting through life just by being pretty good at predicting what to say or do next…

In Vancouver 18.5 cents per litre goes to transit.

Are you a vampire?

I don’t think they were necessarily claiming they were happy, just that we didn’t know for sure what they were thinking. Some people were claiming that they were definitely unhappy… But I don’t think you can know that without asking them.

Forced to move into traffic (perhaps unexpectedly) and get run over.

Obviously it sucks if they have to move, but it’s hard to feel too sorry for people that have become incredibly wealthy…

Also, municipal expenses don’t scale directly with property values… So while local taxes are often based on home values, they are adjusted to the level that meets the municipal budget. If everyone’s house doubles in value one year, taxes stay the same, not double…

Well, all the data is available for anyone on the internet to use as they please…

$1.5k is still not a very expensive bike. Only at the low end of “non trash components”.

Right, but that would be fine because they’d have so much money from subscriptions at that point…
