When I religiously watched Top Gear one of the biggest complaints on cars, typically from James, was that they used cheap plastic throughout the interior (dash, etc.). I never understood what the alternative was because I had only ever been in cars with plastic interiors. I guess once you get...

Hooligans/Ultras/Supporters Groups don't travel for World Cups in the same way they do for club soccer because it's expensive. WC crowds are made up of "good" fans, fans with money, and casual fans who don't care much about it outside of being there.

It's more reasonable than the US turning all of Iran into glass. Which, hey, may still be on the table anyway. Military battle? This isn't the thirty years' war. There are no battles anymore...what we've witnessed has been the world's most infallible military over the past century showing...

It seems clear that Ford is trying to destabilize the project. The same people telling Ford to protect Ontario's latent ICE automobile industry in the face of stronger international EV competition are surely also encouraging him to scuttle the HSR project for the same reason. As with anything...

One of the more reasonable outcomes of this is going to be the complete American withdrawal from the Gulf and a realignment of regional control and influence away from the US and towards Iran et. al. The big question is how Israel reacts to that, because presumably the Americans will continue to...

We're nearing the point where Ford may as well just come out and say it's to muzzle journalists. Why not? It doesn't seem like his government can do anything to lose their voting base at this stage.

So what are they? Enlighten us rather than expect us to operate on the same brainwave as you. IMO, increased fare gating only partially resolves the issue of people trespassing or assaulting. We need improved mental health services in this province, unfortunately something the Ford government...

Feds also picked up Dolly Begum to run in Scarborough, who was the Deputy Leader of the provincial NDP. NDP are DOA.

US thought they could do to Khamenei what they did to Maduro: remove him from the equation. They thought Iran would rally around the show of strength of the assassination and the country would collapse. They didn't calculate that they'd be making him a martyr or that he was actively holding back...

Anything more recent than this? I'm not moving goalposts but 2023 was coming out of COVID and much has changed b/w then and now. Is TTC ridership up/down compared to violent crime on TTC in that timeframe? Either way, the video from Global doesn't really support your assertion that ridership is...

Anything to back this up with? It feels like the same sort of talking point for why people don't want to use public transit in the first place (it's for poor people, it's for (insert racial demographic) etc.). People don't use public transit in the US, i'm assuming, because their cities are not...

That's huge. Really depends on what models we're ending up with. I only have experience driving a Li Auto in China but know from many there that BYD isn't the automatic leading brand and that there are a slew of others in competition with them.

So Ainslie has zero idea what he's talking about or doing. Noted.

See:

You're not wrong but I think it's incredibly lame that anything moderately foundational to rejuvenating this country fails a very basic constitutional smell test. We'll succumb to the same issues as those south of us not only with such a mechanism in place but also if we have the same beliefs in...
