the problem with the 407 is that the Ontario taxpayer paid to build it and then gave it away for nothing when nobody really wanted to drive on it. The P3 model is shit.

maybe some business taxes need to increase to de-incentivize commercial overuse of public roads. Surely the free market can provide a solution like a profitably tolled tunnel running right under the Gardiner?

Mitch has done more to ensure those mistakes are repeated than almost anyone else. Does he have no memory of his actions over the past 20 years?

3 nested death spirals. Or at least 2. Hydro should recover, at least temporarily, outside of El Nino.

The article doesn't waate time on talking about what the govt might be doing instead...to...you know... transition away from oil & ng over the next 25y. They certainly won't be slapping 100% tarrifs on super cheap Chinese EVs. Now even cheaper since they can't be dumped in Europe & NA.

and Canada, Mexico, Japan, Australia, almost all of central & South America.

why do Republicans care, since the US and Israel don't recognize the court's jurisdiction anyway?

I think both would likely be found guilty by any reasonable court. I don't think Gaza has one, but I think Netanyahu's legal troubles are going to get a lot worse in Israeli courts.

it's right wing bullshit.

The UK is never limited in the amount of £ it can issue to cover govt deficits. Read a textbook. Issuers of currency do not borrow i that currecy. Debt and deficits have economic impacts, but there is no hard limit.

The only reason for austerity is that rich twats want austerity so they can continue their insatiable greed.

Hamas. Pretty evil. Netanyahu's govt. Also pretty evil.

Both had alternatives. Both chose the most violent and hateful paths.

I don't think the ICC has any chance of success, but they are right to try.

Found this in a science community, neat to see that some wild ideas come out of the concrete blocks

The new speed camera has finally arrived after ~3 years. The mounting went up earlier this spring, and the camera gear and additional signage has been installed in recent days. It was quickly vandalized with paint, but I see the crew was out working on it today.
