PP going on an anti public service rant this morning, among other lies, claiming that the public service doesn't do anything more than it did in 2015.

Canada's population has grown by 15%.

Core inflation over that period is 28%.

The feds now run public dental, daycare, and pharmacare programs.

They built a $40B pipeline for Alberta.

They spent 3 years bailing out conservative commercial landlords during the pandemic.

Every dollar spent went into the private sector.

@johnefrancis That's a funny rant from someone who's contributed nothing to the public service or this country.

Any Mastodon peeps know any nice, affordable places to live on Vancouver Island? Except Victoria, too expensive. Asking for a friend. 😉

If you've been using the Simple Mobile apps for , they were just bought by a company, who is starting to include ads and possibly tracking into them.

Oh FFS, why would anyone go on the ice when it's been well above zero for several days in a row? Such a stupid, pointless, tragic loss.

It's funny; I used to use Internet Explorer to download and now I use Edge to download .

Alas, another one bites the dust. Yet more that will probably lead to untold amounts of crappy AI generated content. Definitely a site to avoid from now on:

"Taken together, the changes paint a picture of an outlet cutting staff to focus on things like Google traffic, SEO, commerce, and affiliate revenue."

Am I the only person that hates the smell and taste of mint or anything mint flavoured?

At my rare visit to and I’m the only person sitting inside. The drive through is a constant flow of cars. Crazy.

At least this time the tea was hot and they gave me the right muffin. Unlike the last two times.

@ottaross yeah that’s my experience too. Loads of staff for the drive through but one, very slow person for the counter.

You can see the clock counting down the drive through orders and that’s clearly more important than any customers inside. I hate drive throughs.

The last Tims I went to was staffed by volunteers as they had no staff. 😂

Social media trained us to forever scroll vertically. Mobile websites now expect us to also scroll horizontally. Um, nope. I’m too lazy! 😁

Developers that claim a bug is fixed, yet didn’t read the description properly and hence didn’t test under the same conditions.

The Boomtown Rats were right, except they forgot about long weekends.

We drove past some kind of accident yesterday afternoon, near Mooney's Bay, I think. I didn't look as I was driving, but my wife said they were treating a teenage girl on the floor. There's nothing in the news but I have my fingers crossed she's ok. We were afraid she'd been hit by a car, but we couldn't tell.

is doing weird things by showing the wrong channel names for videos in the sidebar and below the one I'm watching. It's very strange - what kind of trickery is this?

Here's an example. This is Rick Beato's channel. No idea what that channel name is.
