For those of you keeping track at home: the Airport extension of the #Ottawa O-Train was going to open in 2022. the eastern extension in 2024, and the western extension in 2025.

Anyway the airport line just opened (2025), the eastern extension MIGHT open by the end of the year but most likely sometime in 2026, and the western end isn't expected until 2027 (read: 2030).

@stephanie toi et moi on déménage en dehors de Québec, seulement pour entendre parler des mêmes choses pendant 20 ans après 😂

@chris Possible, looks like at least for Davie they have been busy with federal contracts. Icebreakers for the coast guard

@chris Not sure why no canadian firms bid... We do have ship builders in Lévis, Québec

@sirber Probablement pas le même tunnel qui est certainement trop petit, mais ça semble être l'axe choisi

Directement un tunnel dans la falaise.

Troisième lien.. donc on amènerait tous ces gens en plein milieu d'artères déjà congestionnées.. comme Laurentien ou Robert-Bourassa (du Vallon). Ça aide pas à contourner Québec pour ceux allant à l'Est. Encore plus de croissance pour Lebourgneuf.

Bref une solution de marde. (Presque toutes les solutions sont de marde de toute façon)

Carte du tracé proposé pour le 3e lien à Québec, dans l'axe central. Pont au dessus du fleuve, et tunnel à travers la haute ville.

This is absolutely fucked.. there's a public discovery feed of people talking to Meta AI.
How's that thing even existing

On Sunday, DHL Canada management said they were putting their employees in lockout.

They told all their customers that it was business as usual and they can deliver no problem. AKA they hired scabs.

Well, few days later I can tell you it's not business as usual. Everything is stuck, nothing is moving.

They better start negotiating with their workers soon

Yeah @IceCubesApp is kinda back

Every single time this happen, they are making sure creatives, artists, academics, etc are never setting foot to the US again.

Just a slow burn that is making sure US dominance in many fields will disappear. mstdn.social/@TechCrunch/11466

@chancehmiller what is there to observe there?

@dimillian you're back!

Ventura County definitely hit hard today with ICE raids.

Crowdsourced site of sightings. Maybe worth starting to TOR this stuff IMHO.

My thoughts with the families of all the folks who were snatched off our streets today 🙏

If you’re not watching people across North Africa come out in droves to cheer on the 'break the siege' convoy, part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, you’re missing out on one of the most beautiful moments of 2025. A tsunami of humanity is rising up for #Gaza. Amplify it!

#SumoudConvoy #BreakTheSiege #FreePalestine #Algeria #Morocco #Mauritania #Tunisia #Libya #Egypt

Photo of a large crowd of people surrounding a motorcoach, and some are on its roof. Many of the crowd are taking pictures with their phones, while others are waving flags of what appear to be North African countries and Palestine.Drone shot of a large crowd of people surrounding a motorcoach along a long highway. Several large flags of Palestine are visible among the crowd. The surrounding landscape appears desert-like.

Très triste de voir Montréal dans une grève de la #STM

Toronto a passé à un cheveux l’an passé d’avoir une grève. La mairesse Chow a tout fait pour l’empêcher, ça été annulé de justesse quelques heures avant le début de la grève. Elle avait compris qu’un système déjà affaibli par COVID ne se remettrait pas d’une autre baisse d’achalandage et qu’il fallait à tout pris ramener la clientèle. On a aussi eu un gel de tarifs de 2 ans.

Malheureusement pas de visions des dirigeants de QC et MTL.

I won't pretend it was for the usual reasons but the Libs were part of the Pride backlash as recently as a year ago 🫣🌈

@chanface.bsky.social I know what they meant. But then proceeded to mention the North Young extension later. lol

"Ice can end". Spotted on the corner of Mission and 18th in SF. This is one of Sapien's "Magic Acrostic Squares" that can be read left to right, or top to bottom. #SFGraffiti #AbolishIce #Graffiti #MagicAcrosticSquares #Sapien
Large graffiti on a wall in San Francisco. The text has three words, Ice, Can, and End, written in a 3 by 3 square. So the words can be read from left to right, or from top to bottom. The letters are on a wall filled with other graffiti pieces by other artists.

@brian_gettler @adelinej wow! Fascinant comme histoire. Plusieurs disent d’ailleurs qu’on est davantage des nord-americains qui parlent français, et non pas des européens qui habitent en Amérique du Nord.
