Makes sense to me. I was at my most sedentary during the pandemic.
Interestingly, some people, for the first time, got fit during the pandemic. There was a massive bike boom, people were out walking and hiking again, they invested in cooking at home, relaxation, better quality sleep, etc.
It’s a shame that so many went backwards, though.
Why is this guy still around?
Davis said that over the last two decades, most of the terror attacks in Canada have been perpetrated by ideologically motivated violent extremism.
“We’re not talking about al-Qaida and Islamic State. We’re talking about anti-Muslim, ‘Incel’ or anti-government extremists…"
So, right-wing domestic terrorists?
Suggests?
Isn’t it their job to investigate crimes???
Calming measures work.
Yes, they do. And NIMBYs hate them more than automated traffic cameras.
Speed cameras do not.
They have demonstrated to be effective in all the Canadian municipalities who have implemented them. Do you have evidence to suggest otherwise?
The problem is people don’t like getting caught for breaking the law, so they either vandalize or petition against these cameras.
Alternatively, they could drive the posted speed limit and not run red lights. 💁♂️
Stats Canada didn’t have those figures in the data I was looking at, but yes, that’s important! There are so many other important metrics, too: affordability vs wages; commute times (then vs. now), etc.
If only one metric moved for the better, are we really better off?
Depends on your perspective.
The lowest it’s been since 1990 is 4.5%, and that was a post-pandemic bounce-back in 2022. It’s been over 10%, but the average is 6.6%. We are only slightly above that, which is amazing considering we are under direct attack from the States.
I would expect those number to drop as Canada severs ties with the US and builds a more robust internal economy.
And remember, every time you “buy Canadian” over something that would have come from the States, you are adding jobs to our workforce while taking them away (hopefully) from the American labour pool 🤗
It’s been fun replacing American goods and services with Canadian and not-American alternatives.
In many cases, you end up with better products anyway.
Speed doesn’t get you around faster in urban areas, especially not in residential neighbourhoods, because stop signs and traffic lights (when not ignored) extend your trip more.
That’s why as a cyclist, I’m often catching up to cars going 3-4x faster than me. And when cars are queued up at stops, I’m often passing those “fast” cars, too.
But 30km/h is less likely to kill people, which is a good thing.
Religious texts, such as the Bible, will be allowed on the shelves.
… as most of the books Nicolaides said he was looking to take off shelves deal with 2SLGBTQ+ subject matter.
Have the Satanic Temple republish those books so they remain accessible.
Meh. He’ll change his mind at least 15 more times before Aug 1st.
Our local news outlet is FULL of sponsored articles from casinos. It’s gross and turns me off from their platform.
If you’ve got to use ads and sponsored posts, at least feature wholesome local businesses.
Incredible… first there’s an Epstein file with Trump’s name on it, then there’s no Epstein file, then there is and can destroy lives.
So, 100% he’s on it. And I’m sure a lot of his current associates are on it, too.
That said, not only should the release of the file be made public and lives be ruined, but justice must also be swift and harsh for the pedos and the people who stayed hush for pedos.
Stop pissing in the wind.
Frustratingly, this is how corporations do business just about anywhere in the world. Why bother subsidizing at all? Either make it publicly owned or tell them that they are on their own. Viable businesses will succeed without handouts.
Until induced demand kicks in, then you’ll be with the other idle motorists for an extra 4 minutes! LOL
Just like provinces and municipalities.
“No money for education, healthcare, or bike lanes.”
Also, “We’re spending countless tens of millions to widen a road so that people can sit in traffic for 30 seconds less than before while making it less safe for all other road users! Vote for us again, plz.”
Because it’s “their road”, and they feel entitled to drive however they like, without anyone telling them what to do.
It takes a special kind of scumbag to vandalize red light and speed cameras.
I found the perfect punishment for the assholes doing this: have them pay a fine that’s the equivalent to what the camera would have generated for the amount of time it takes for the camera to be replaced.
But the person needs to pay for the camera to be replaced first, so those fines are going to add up if that doesn’t happen quickly.
Give them 60 days to pull it off, and then start charging interest.
People who do this are a direct threat to public safety, but I think jail is too easy.
You are being downvoted, but you are correct.
BMI on it’s own isn’t a good metric. Waist measurement (i.e. measuring visceral fat around the gut) is a far better measure of health, and when used with BMI, you get a far more accurate picture of health than one over the other.
This is why you can have someone at a “healthy” BMI, but they are fat in the belly (and nowhere else!). Their health is a great risk, despite being a healthy weight and BMI.
I noticed my scale going up as I trained more for cycling, despite my body fat dropping). It’s muscle weight, despite my BMI now being “worse” than when I was lighter with less muscle.
