I mean, this is a provincial election. I don’t think provinces really have that much control over gun policy? That’s more federal.

16 years of faux ‘balanced budgets’
Not only that, they need to patch things back up together while 6 of the 9 years in power have pretty much been in a terrible global economy. The libs fucked shit u awhile in a great economy for the most part.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Hidden cameras show some stores unlocking speed limits on e-bikes, selling e-scooters that go up to 120 km/h | CBC News
3·6 days agoI don’t think adding bike lanes would solve the speed issue. I think bike lanes should not have any bikes or devices in there that can go over 30-40kph because then you will have a mix of regular bikes and super fast ebikes which will eventually cause an accident with someone crashing into a regular bike.
If you want to go over 30-40kph stick to the regular traffic lanes.

3·6 days agoIf an ebike can go fast enough riding in regular car lanes shouldn’t be too much of an issue. It wouldnt be any more dangerous than driving a motorcycle.
The main reason bikes don’t do well in car lanes is because they can’t keep up with the flow of traffic typically and cause cars to pile up behind them and then people get impatient and aggressive.
An ebike that can go 50-60kph would basically just be a motorcycle in traffic that could then slip into a bike lane when traffic gets bad.

11·18 days agoWait, someone should make a gaming organization that just thinks of the most outlandish and ghoulish things to patent them so the big corpos can’t.

Games@lemmy.world•Ubisoft begin removing Ubisoft Connect from Steam with the new Ubisoft Connect ServicesEnglish
51·28 days agoThe videogame industry specifically is a bit unique I think I’m that most of the time the majority of the artists just get laid off after a large project gets released so there really isn’t any job stability, chance of bonuses, loyalty, etc.
I would never pirate an Indy game but Ubisoft, EA, rockstar, fuck em.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Prime Minister Carney announces the largest investment in VIA Rail’s history to bring passenger rail car manufacturing back to Canada
1·1 month agoUnfortunately the fastest passenger train currently available on the planet would still take roughly 6 hours to get from Montreal to Vancouver in basically a straight line so probably double or even triple that for a more realistic number with all the corners and ups and downs. We probably won’t be making the fastest train on earth so it would likely still be a 20+ ride from Montreal to Vancouver in the best case scenario.

Canada@lemmy.ca•U.S. Admiral Refuses To Say If He’d Obey Order To Invade Canada
92·1 month agoIt’s technically not illegal to invade another country unprovoked. It’s illegal to do war crimes though. You can invade a country and annex it without committing warcrimes.
Why does the federal government allow foreign purchasing of critical hardware manufacturers in canada?
Well, ya but I don’t think it would be 100% identical to trees. Lignin didn’t really even exist for millions of years before trees evolved to fight gravity on land. But underwater you wouldn’t need a strong trunk like that since they would weigh so much less and can evolve buoyancy structures or something like other plants do. Or even short and stout, just massive.
All of those variables to me appear like they would be similar on land. Currents move but so does wind, and I don’t think their are any currents in the ocean that can rival hurricane force winds that trees can contend with.
Sunlight also changes quite a lot on land depending on the season or weather.
Just can’t see why underwater trees aren’t a thing.
Yes but they are tiny.
I’m talking about blue whale type equivalent to aquatic plants. The biggest mammal on the planet lives in the ocean why not the biggest plant or fungus?

Games@lemmy.world•Sony doubles down. Only responds to their investors, not the consumers. I've never bought a digital console title. That will continue.English
5·2 months agoI built my first PC 6 years ago, before PS5 was released.
My PC can still play new release AAA games at high quality graphics and probably will for a number of years still… when it starts to slack a couple hundred $ and it will be good as new.
Was pricey up front but in the end better quality, more choice, and longer lasting.

Games@lemmy.world•As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record yearEnglish
92·3 months agoI never got a PlayStation but I was holding out for a PlayStation 6 once it finally got released. If there is no version for physical discs I will definitely not be getting one. Nothing worse then wanting to play a game you haven’t played in a while and then having to redownload it because you had to delete it to free up space for other games.
So much nicer just to be able to throw a disc in and go.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Fido Hits Recent Promo Customers With a Price Hike After Just 3 Months
1·4 months agoYa I’m sure I could find cheaper, but I currently get 150gb data. I’m on the road a lot for work and also have a cabin with no internet access other than through data so I can go through a fair bit.
My main point is that my plans were typically never being increased, only ever offered a decrease.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Fido Hits Recent Promo Customers With a Price Hike After Just 3 Months
13·4 months agoI’ve personally never had a problem with price hikes? If anything my bill has gone down randomly over the years.
I was with Rogers and then they said hey, switch to fido and get the same stuff for $10 less so I did. Was fine for a few years. Then Rogers had a deal and I switched back, got more data for $10 less.
Started at $80/month and now at $60/month with way more data than I’ll ever need.


So you are mad the provincial NDP didn’t force through a loophole like Saskatchewan did? Which probably comes with a lot of liability and extra expenditures for new regulatory processes, forms, paperwork, redtape, etc.
