Yeah it's weird they didn't mark the mm size to match, e.g. 35-451.
This is surprising. Are you sure of that? I've always understood the first number to be the tire width and that has matched many tires I've used over the years, from Maxxis, Panaracer, Schwalbe, Conti, Vittoria, and others. This is also true according to Michelin:
ETRTO (EUROPEAN TIRE AND RIM TECHNICAL ORGANIZATION) SIZES are given for all tires. In this example: 32 x 590, the first number (32) is the tire width in millimeters. The second number (590) is the tire diameter in millimeters. This chart shows the conversions for all the sizes.
The ETRTO size specification 37-622 indicates the width of 37 mm and the tire inner diameter of 622 mm. This dimension is clear and allows a precise classification of the rim size.
And on the traditional inch marking:
The inch marking (e.g. 28 x 1.40) states the approximate outer diameter (28 inches) and the tire width (1.40 inches).
Even if you go by the traditional designation of 20 x 1 3/8 on the CST, the width should be about 35mm (1 3/8" ~= 35mm).
Of course any of the width dimensions are approximate depending on inflation and exact tire model but they've always matched within a couple of mm in my experience. 7mm differences is shocking to me.
To my understanding the diameter is bead diameter, not the outer tire diameter, which matches the rim. And then for width-to-rim compatibility, there are ranges where a range of ETRTO widths fits a range of rim widths, like this.
That makes sense. Thanks for the anecdote!
Did you get paid to eat it?
Does this mean that over 30 voted for the ban?
Of course. There are plenty of use cases that require them.
Only if you can afford it. There are plenty of people who cycle and can afford it and they should contribute more. I contributed a chunk.
We shouldn't but this is the democratic system we live in. Voting happens at the ballot box, in the ledership races, in party fundraising, in union organizing, in the courts, in ad spending.. Turns out dollars are votes too and some have more of them than others. If curbing our rights is profitble for some with more cash, or sometimes just desirable, we'll have to raise our dollar votes against them. And if we're lucky, our ballot box votes might have made it cheaper. Never free. It's super fucking annoying and it's too much work. Improvements are possible but that's where we are today.

‘Explosive increase’ of ticks that cause meat allergy in US due to climate crisis
(www.theguardian.com)
Apparently we have these along the Great Lakes (but not exclusively) already according to reports on etick.ca. Here's a pic:
Since not everyone reports tick bites, the numbers are probably a lot higher than what's on etick.ca.
It's nice to see that we no longer trust privatization as a the magic wand that solves public institution problems.
That said I think the 52% support for non-union gig work in Canada Post is indicative of the mindset that needs shifting if Canada is to change course in a way that makes most people better off long term.

What is it if not tire size?
