The first time I saw Rural Alberta it was as an opener or in between songs band for the Clementines, which features two members from the band. This CD was burned, so new I smudged the hand written label. It’s a pretty catchy EP.

If you are trapped in this hell, the seemingly best thing you can do is backup and restore your phone, from your Mac. It will clear out whatever caches of data iOS refuses to give up. Let’s see how this all lasts.

What a clown. Where exactly does he think all the delivery guys on bikes are going to go? (Where does Ford think they'll go for that matter?)
I saw Ben Mulroney post an anti-bike-lane sentiment a few months ago shared by many “the lanes are only used by delivery”. It’s an incredible statement.

Ottawa set a target of 155,000 new international student arrivals for 2026.
However, according to Universities Canada, only 28,200 had arrived as of July 31, or about 18 per cent of the annual target.

This is what I would like to see the mayors talking about. Certainly won't hear a peep from Bradford, but Chow also quiet despite this being a year with some pretty crazy police corruption cases.
SUI says officer who gave a cyclist a beating won't be charged. Little surprise there from SIU, but we will all pay for the civil $ + this cop will continue to be paid.
Toronto Police officer won't be charged in cyclist arrest that led to head injury: SIU
Videos of the arrest were shared widely in June, leading to some claims of “excessive use of force.”

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history.

The Belleville synagogue shooter was an antisemitic COVID conspiracist discharged from the army for refusing vaccines.
It's wild that commentary on this shooting IMMEDIATELY went to anti-immigrant, Islamophobic bigotry.
But THIS is the extremism that sent me an antisemitic death threat in 2022.

I'm fascinated by U.S. tech and business journalism because it doesn't adhere to literally any rules of actual journalism.
There's no effort to actually explain objective truth; they can't even so much as hint at the fact there's funny math here and the company isn't worth anything close to this
