There is no way these bloated ass trucks can see children or pets, let alone adults, it’s disgusting
Hoon@hoon.bsky.social · 20h agoMy miata next to a raised truck 😬
Just in Quebec City & thinking how EXTRA ridiculous these vehicles are in that context of old town & d/t. Even in Kingston, ON's d/t it's absurd to see one of these next to a quaint old limestone building. They take up 1.5-2 street parking spaces too &AFAIK pay no more than cars. Impossible in lots!

Nuclear energy is not a viable path to a post carbon economy
TVP World@tvpworld.bsky.social · 10h agoHungary is deploying 80-meter-long barges in the Danube, to temporarily raise water levels and keep two turbines running, as record-low water levels threaten cooling at the Paks nuclear plant. One turbine could be forced offline if levels fall another 9 cm, leaving just a single turbine operating.

Some progress. Wonder if more people will complain N95s need to be fit tested or else presumed useless-as someone already suggested when I posted about N95s in wildfire context recently! 🤦♀️ People-it’s an imperfect world. OC try to get good seal! But N95 even worn imperfectly = breathing LESS PM2.5!
My IRL friends call me Chris@christyceeck.bsky.social · yesterday"The province says N95 masks are now available for free in communities in the B.C. Interior to protect people from the impacts of wildfire smoke. It says residents are encouraged to check with their local governments for more information on clean-air locations in their communities."

Stop supporting fast fashion, stop buying plastic clothing, start mending your clothing.
Save the CBC 🇨🇦✌️@savethecbc.bsky.social · 2d agoCanadians are donating more clothing than charities can handle, and growing amounts are ending up in landfills. CBC looks at the breakdown of the used-clothing market and a bigger problem underneath it: fast fashion has created far more clothing than we can realistically reuse. 👕♻️ #SaveTheCBC

👇🏻 imagine if the people in charge of the things we elect them for, actually focussed on THOSE things, those responsibilities, instead of leaving a legacy of heavily greased palms and a personal vendetta against a city that wouldn’t elect you.
Kevin Dorse@kdorse.bsky.social · 3d agoI don’t even live in Toronto and I’m annoyed by this. What a waste of taxpayer money. Build it. Tear it out. Lawyers. Judges. REPEAT. How about we elect municipal councils to do municipal stuff and provincial governments to do provincial stuff. So crazy it just might work. #onpoli
Me too. Partner’s work @ Yonge/Bloor used to mean I was in fear every commute that our children would lose a parent to a driver’s bad decision, sudden onset health issue or distraction. Those lanes so needed& such a boon &don’t understand how bad guys nonsensically win over &over. Tiresome vendetta!
Bethankit Hums@tangibullah.bsky.social · 3d agoI'd be interested in hearing people's opinions on how it was possible for the appeal court to completely ignore the constitutional claim that cyclists (taxpayers & citizens, yes?) could be killed or injured because it's not safe to cycle on the road if bike lanes are removed.

How bout using airborne mitigations to quit rebreathing air infected with horrible vascular, organ & immune system damaging, oncogenic diseases, like covid 19, that WHO should have suppressed better by being honest about its airborne nature from start? Seems wise. Maybe add that to the list WHO.

Confirm. Just watched half of it and as a long standing plastic avoidant I am still even more shocked. Our poor children!! Please try to use as little plastic as you possibly can! Find the bulk stores, use the cloth bags, reusable mug&water bottle, carry cutlery, reject plastic clothing, etc!
