I despise this road so much. Folks regularly drive 70-80km/hr (I know because the speed boards are always fucking red) and when youโ€™re forced to be closer to the edgeโ€ฆ fully despise the no shits given

Iโ€™d hazard the lack of accountability is more and more a feature of democracy than otherwise. The bigger picture of which makes sense why the not-withstanding clause is becoming a feature alongside the lack of accountability #canada #cdnpoli #alberta https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-renewables-pause-moratorium-aeso-foip-1.7196943

Well update on the government side of the job huntโ€ฆ did a horrid 3-hr exam on Monday in which the person who wrote the job description did not talk to the person who wrote the exam. So that was a fucking amazing stressful waste of time (probably).

Next Monday I get another 2-day exam at 8;30AM andโ€ฆ a 2-hr exam at 9 AM from a difference department the same day. So will get the 2-hr exam out of the way and do the 2-day exam after ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

@MichaelPorter I mean I havenโ€™t done many but Mondays didnโ€™t line up with what I applied for so unsure if my skills shone at all but I think next weeks will be better aligned (hopefully)

@johnefrancis a few of them in the fire right now and will keep plugging away at. Lots of applications everywhere but the private sector ghosting is a tad bullshit

The Yubaโ€™s version of an oil change. Degreasing, soap, wash, scraping, more soap, wiping etc etc. gunna take it in for a one-year check up, make sure the brakes still have life and such. Iโ€™m slowly getting better at working on and taking off more parts, but donโ€™t want to go too far

The absolute fuckery of carbon capture both in what is basically wealth transfer from ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆs to an oil and gas company andโ€ฆ 9 million tonnes of CO2 supposedly sequestered since 2015? Over 100 million tonnes of carbon produced by ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ oil and gas in 2022 alone?

Well if you want a detached single family home then you should have to bear ALL the costs associated with. Booo fucking hooooo, build more dense forms of housing https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ottawa-developer-charge-change-raise-1.7195464

@grivettcarnac@mstdn.social avatar

@WhippoorwillSong cities are going to have to take leadership here tho. People may want single family homes and at the same time want low taxes, all the services and low cost for said houses. But this isnโ€™t possible, tenable, realistic etc. Municipalities are going to have to start long term changing expectations and tell the truth about costs. Donโ€™t see any other way to shift demand and encourage more dense housing options

This is very very funny. I'm curious if this photo radar program will ever result in a ground swell of suport for alternatives. Transit? Redesigning of streets? Because this is a tax. Don't get me wrong, lets get photo radar everywhere but this is insane

One of the things that has fallen to the way side with the past few years is the idea of brand loyalty. Yes for certain items I have a preference (Iโ€™ve had some clothing etc for 5-10+ yrs) in terms of durability and quality but beside that? Fuck no. Price. Patagonia? Nope. Canadian brands? Not really. If itโ€™s not on sale then wonโ€™t even bother. I have mostly had the same clothes for the past five years, repairing them, maintaining, which Iโ€™ve always done but now with earnest #ottawa #cdnpoli

grivettcarnac,
@grivettcarnac@mstdn.social avatar

I well aware the privilege of being able to own quality items that last. But the past few years have just cemented habits Iโ€™ve had for a while. The only challenge has been that Iโ€™m someone whose weight has fluctuated and so I have clothing that fits and doesnโ€™t fit and then may fit again. But when even Value Village isnโ€™t a deal I just keep to the same sets of clothes until I canโ€™t wear them anymore

@Dianora I thankfully dont have to patch too often but the issue I find with stretchy pants is the thread and stitching isnโ€™t very good so Iโ€™ve had a few repairs done for that but they keep on working fine otherwise!

@robattrell @stephanie @ShaunOttawa ya I hear you. Iโ€™ve managed to stay consistent the past 3-4 yrs but at a weight Iโ€™d like to get down a bit but thankfully my small wardrobe is hanging on without too much need right now
