This was always one of the end goals of P2025. Using government contracts as a way of funnelling money into the elitist ruling class and their corporations.
If anything, I'm surprised it's taken 6 months to get to this point.

I agree, but unfortunately that's basically never going to happen. At least not in our lifetimes.
One of Canada's greatest flaws is that we followed the US into car-dependent, suburban-sprawl at the catastrophic expense of everything else. We have spent decade upon decade investing unfathomable amounts of money into building the most dysfunctional cities imaginable and ensuring there is no practical way of getting in or out of them except a car.
Nebula has certainly improved but I still think they need to put more effort into getting new creators that aren't political or news. I just did a skim through their uploads lists for various topics and news and/or political (or political ish) content is still the most active. Topics like technology and gaming see far less uploads.
Would be a hell of a lot cheaper if they just automatically denied everyone. Because, let's be honest, that is what the end result of this is going to be anyway.
Beautiful!
Just as the Liberals have moved to the right with Carney, the Conservative party has moved further towards the hard-right.
Look south to the US for a taste of what sort of people I'm talking about. They care about nothing but hatred, suffering, conspiracies, and oppression.
A lot of moderate conservatives are happy with Carney though. They've been wanting someone like him for years.
Literally nobody will obey this.
I'm not in Vancouver itself, but a major road near me had its speed limit dropped to accommodate mixed-use expansions. Not a single driver actually does the new speed limit. They all speed 20-30kph over the limit and they will tailgate you or highbeam flash if you do the posted limit.
Maybe some day in the distant future our policy-makers will understand that updating a few signs doesn't make a damn difference. You need physical speed reduction methods such as speedbumps, roundabouts, raised crosswalks, etc.
This game is screwed, calling it now.
And so they should. The US is a fascist state that has repeatedly threatened to invade Canada.
Ebikes are just bicycles with motors. They have all the benefits of bicycles but are more accessible to more people, particularly those in hilly locations and those with disabilities.
Most ebikes are speed-limited and are built using standardised bicycle components. The kind you see ripping down sidewalks at 60km/h are often highly illegal in many places and, depending on local laws, might not even be classified as ebikes and may require a licence.
I've read so many times that the cable is designed to wear out faster than the jack, and yet I've had numerous devices have their USB-C jacks fail.
I still have all of my USB-C cables, even the one that came with my very first USB-C phone. All of them still work and fit fine.
Holy shit. Whoever signed off on the use of that term in a major news publication needs to be let go. That is repulsive.
