One of my favourite CRPGs of all time is on sale for 85% off, which is like 2 bucks Canadian. Is it dated? Yes. Is it a ton of fun? Also yes. I bought it new when it came out and I still fire it up every once in a while 'cause it's got personality and there's nothing else like it.

PCT stands for Pacific Time, BC’s single year-round time zone. It replaces PST and PDT, providing a consistent way to refer to BC’s time zone in schedules, systems and communications.
No falling back this November.

Moneris, the Canadian system used to process 5 billion of transactions annually for 325,000 points of sale, is being sold by the owners (RBC and BMO) to a US private equity firm.
I don't think this protects Canadian digital sovereignty. I signed a petition for Ottawa to intervene, and you can too.

Doug Ford is a petty, small-minded monster. I do not understand why Ontario keeps voting for him. Glad I don't live there any longer.
More confirmation that Doug Ford is ripping out the spine of Toronto’s bike network, not sections on the edge.
Feels very personal to me. That’s the stretch (the 2016 Bloor pilot project) where I really started to get into urban cycling for transportation.

welp my copium was to wait for someone to get the full RFP and see what exact segments of each street they're targeting... it really is ALL of Bloor
