I don't really see any downsides to annual phone releases. For those people who want to upgrade every year, they can, for everyone else, you upgrade when you want to and you get a pretty new phone. I definitely agree the improvements for slab phones has slowed down a bunch, but there are still pretty big leaps in foldables, etc.
only national, provincial, and municipal flags should be flown at municipal facilities or flagpoles
I know this is pretty off-topic, but I found this part funny when one of my municipal Councillors proposed a similar bylaw (which thankfully failed). In Canada, municipal governments are creatures of the province, and the provinces have entered into confederation. By their logic, we shouldn't be flying Canadian flags as the country has no direct relation to the municipality.
Sure, hate capitalism all you want, but it’s the system we live in
As pointed out in the first paragraph of the article, "Lakota Language Consortium" is a nonprofit organization. While NPOs operate in our capitalist system, you expect them to have goals besides pure profit.
Yup, the article suggests her rent is ~$1,700:
At $1,200 a month, her pension doesn’t even cover her housing needs.
“I’m short like $500 just for the rent,”
You really can't compare any other country to the Great Firewall of China.
They were going to have the PA day later in April anyways. I think this is a good example of being a bit flexible!
The article says they sold the property, that's part of the problem.
A little column A, a little column B. Mostly, we can have gentle changes to our cities, like removing Single-Family Home and other exclusionary zoning, removing mandatory parking minimums, as well other initiatives to encourage higher density, mixed-use buildings, and active transportation usage.
I wish this article would address change in population.
| Country | 1990 Population | 2024 Population | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | 27,512,000 | 40,861,221 | +48.5% |
| USA | 248,709,873 | 336,030,624 | +35.1% |
| Japan | 123,611,167 | 122,631,43 | -9.0% |
| Italy | 56,756,561 | 58,697,744 | +3.4% |
| France | 56,412,897 | 64,881,830 | +15.0% |
| EU | 418,764,395 | 448,387,872 | +7.0% |
| Germany | 79,370,196 | 83,252,474 | +4.9% |
| UK | 57,210,443 | 67,961,440 | +18.8% |
This isn't an excuse and we need to do a whole lot better as a country. I just think blaming our increase of carbon output on transportation and not looking at per capita numbers gives the oilsands and other heavy industries a pass. I'd love to see more active/public transportation (and some EVs, but that's an inefficient solution for the ~85% of Canadians living in urban areas).
I checked the voter roles. It looks like 2 Democratic Members didn't vote. Presumably they were absent for this inconsequential vote?
Providing abortion services for Americans does not cost us as they would have to pay.
However, IMHO OP's plan is silly and misguided. Most boarding states allow for abortion, and those that don't are closer to states that allow for abortion. The vast majority of states that restrict abortion are in the south, and the population who live under abortion restrictions are even more skewed south. This means even if people needing abortions wanted to come to Canada, they'd be more likely to enter at airports instead of land boarders.

I don't support most new nuclear projects, but saying "it never has and never will work without massive subsidies" is asinine. I live in Ontario where roughly half our electricity comes from Nuclear, and that helped keep the cost reasonable for over a generation. France has also seen great success.
