    Proposed renaming of Dundas Street

    Suggestion: don't rename things, it just encourages the worst elements in our society. Want to introduce a new name? Fine, fine something brand new to label, a street, or some other.

    2022/24 Russian-Ukrainian War

    There is much speculation that Ukraine will be on operational-level defence next year. Ride out the series of Western elections (i.e. US) and rebuild capacity in the form of trained manpower, equipment and ordnance. As per 1914-17, it certainly looks like the technological balance currently...

    2022/24 Russian-Ukrainian War

    The biggest attack of the winter over the past day. I don't have a breakdown, but 158 missiles and attack UAVs reported by Reuters. The news headlines are reporting high rise buildings, hospitals and a shopping mall targeted. I am unsure what of the electrical network was targeted. Poland...

    Why do we choose dark coat colours for winter?

    Visiting Trondheim, Norway one winter many years ago. In darkness I recall most pedestrians wearing reflective ankle bands (as worn on bikes).

    Ontario Flag needs replacing

    "Twinkle, twinkle little star..." Great backdrop for local Carol service!

    Ontario Flag needs replacing

    Number 1 rule of flag design, everyone has an opinion but no one is right. Your beautiful design might look like a dog's breakfast to me, or vice versa. I like the new Minnesota design because it could represent absolutely anything - US state, Russian Oblast, SE Asian sultanate, old style...

    Proposed renaming of Dundas Street

    When all is said and done, however, this looks like a rational decision for Olivia Chow. The renaming of Dundas plays to her core, well-to-do, cultural left constituency that, whist it may tut-tut over the aforementioned problems, ultimately cares more for culture war issues than quality of life...

    Proposed renaming of Dundas Street

    Throw another log on the culture war Olivia! Completely artificial drama over a non-issue. Honestly, what a joke decision by a joke council lead by a joke leader. Yea, I get it. We take our cultural cues from the US and inevitably we have to find some hate figure in lieu of Robert E Lee, or...

    RMT says Goodbye to Toronto

    🤣🤣 Lots of Torontonians down here in Ridgway now! We are trying to make them feel at home with our skyrocketing house prices too, but cannot keep up with the big smoke.

    Should gas stoves be banned?

    I prefer gas stoves, hands down. I am currently on an induction hob under sufferance but will shortly be replacing with gas. Easier to cook and not an air quality issue with an extractor hood. Simples.

    Land Acknowledgements and Reconciling Our Settler History

    The history cited is effect, not cause. The upstream phenomena is a society that has grown and inculcated what one philosopher termed 'a culture of self-repudiation.' Specifics of such a culture's history are effectively irrelevant as the worst aspects will always be seized upon as exemplar of...

    Time Zones and Daylight Savings

    Really??

    Land Acknowledgements and Reconciling Our Settler History

    So basically, the precedent that governed human and group interaction everywhere since the dawn of time shouldn't apply to America. Are we gullible?

    Land Acknowledgements and Reconciling Our Settler History

    That really made me laugh out loud! But indicative of the frivolous, narcissistic culture that currently blights our society.

    Is Google going the way of Netscape?

    It would seem the number of applications or associated apps Google has now keeps its brand reasonably fresh.

    Ontario Flag needs replacing

    The original bears comparison to many state flags, i.e. the arms on a navy background. The new one has an anywhere/anything generic feel to it. Could be the State of Utah but also United Honey Company, Rocky Mountain Technical College, Colorado Yurt Rentals, etc. Of course, ultimately, any...

    Proposed renaming of Dundas Street

    Good idea. But how can bad ideas (and bad history) gain so much traction? Decide in haste, repent at leisure.

    Proposed renaming of Dundas Street

    So, the latest in the Dundas saga is that it has all been, more or less, a hoax perpetrated by activists? https://bayobserver.ca/opinion-dundas-street-renaming-turning-into-an-embarrassment/

    Ontario Flag needs replacing

    The flag is a joke, isn't it? It looks like the logo of a 'United Food Company Ltd' or similar.

    Ontario Flag needs replacing

    @Towered this presumably is when you announce April Fools?
