I’m being a bit pedantic. The CN Tower is a tower, not technically a building. It’d need to have a majority of its interior space to be habitable to be considered a building. It is, however, the tallest freestanding structure in Toronto. It is incredibly expensive and difficult to make a habitable building as tall as the CN Tower, which is why I doubt any will be built in Toronto. As of now, there are only 5 buildings in the world that surpass the CN Tower in height.

Please, Canada, hire them all!

You mean the 11% service fee, the delivery fee, the dasher tip, and the taxes, which, when added is usually around twice the cost of the actual items?

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/31216367 Sunwapta Falls Easy two mile out and back trail located along the icefields parkway south of Jasper. The main falls are located at the beginning of the hike and the trail follows along the river downstream, revealing several more waterfalls as you go. River access can be had at the end of the trail as it leaves the canyon. The upper area gets a ton of usage, as does the second falls which are fairly close by and have a good viewing area. Thins out a little beyond that, but its a short hike so stays fairly busy. [image: 3102ce9a-d798-4674-a3a7-ae51bc9216e8.jpeg] The second falls (not including the big chute that comes out from the upper falls). Drops around 15 ft before going into another chute.

Over time it has carved a curving path into the rock on the side with this viewpoint. [image: c3f13eb0-56da-4577-8dc1-eb02a6d0bff6.jpeg] Looking downstream from this large waterfall just off the trail. When hiking, you will be afforded other angles of the falls as you continue the trail. The Catacombs Mountains can be seen in the distance.

Thank you for clearing that up!

She gets that from her hero TACO.

Yup. Conservatives all about responsible spending

Based on the CBC report, there is so much to unpack here: “Halifax now has the third-worst congestion in Canada and the fifth-worst congestion in North America,” Fillmore said. “People here are spending 83 hours a year stuck in traffic. That’s the equivalent of 12 working days behind the wheel in gridlock.” Mayor, people in cars aren’t “stuck in traffic” they are the traffic. The idea that putting more people on roads (by not having them use other forms of transportation) will somehow fix traffic congestion is so terribly wrong. Coun. Sam Austin said he was disappointed in Fillmore’s motion and said bike lanes do not cause traffic congestion. He said delaying the work on bike lanes would worsen traffic. Yup. And any work needed to expand car-centric infrastructure would absolutely worsen traffic, and then induce demand, which puts you back to square one without solving any problems. Originally planned to be completed in 2022, about 60 per cent of the 53 kilometres of network has been done so far with temporary or permanent measures. The bicycle network’s original expected cost of about $25 million has more than tripled, now reaching about $93 million. The provincial and federal governments have contributed about $20.8 million, leaving about $66 million for the Halifax Regional Municipality to pay over the next few years. 53km of network for $93 million??? For context, Durham Region, which has a significantly larger population, has estimated that over 200km of cycling network would cost them around $81 million. Even so… Halifax spends more than $50 million each year to repave streets, with this year’s capital budget totalling $314 million. And those costs will continue to rise if the focus is on car-centric infrastructure. You don’t “get back” the money you put into road maintenance like you do with active transportation and public transportation.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has said she is not in favour of Alberta leaving Canada, but would support a referendum if enough voters want one. She has appealed to First Nations leaders in her province to support provincial sovereignty and promised to protect their rights, according to a letter to chiefs obtained by APTN News. If she is not in favour of separation, why is she appealing to the First Nations leaders to support it and vowing to protect their rights if it happens?

Americans fascists need to get off Cuban soil!

Sounds about right. The trash collectors around here work like they’re on piecework. Complete garbage way to treat people - offer the appreciation bbq but no reduction in work.

Facebook ads are the cream of the cream, lots of fake ads from fake shops, and facebook won’t do anything until its reported. You have to be really stupid to use wildfires to sell stuff, taking advantage of the situation and peoples feelings. Anyone could fall with the single mom part. edit: 3 things to always check on website its Address, Phone Number and a google search.

We’ve already been through this once. No way we should cancel again.

Five years ago, on May 25, 2020, Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd in the United States and set off international protests against anti-Black racism and police violence. This was supposed to be a turning point in the fight against racism. Institutional leaders across Canada pledged to address anti-Black racism. It began with statements of solidarity that morphed into task forces, initiatives and strategic plans which permeated almost every sector and level of government. The federal government has since committed $45 million to an anti-racism strategy, which promises to focus on how anti-Black racism and the unequal treatment of Black people is ingrained in our society. As well, nearly 50 universities and colleges have committed to promoting the academic flourishing of Black students, staff and faculty by signing what’s known as the Scarborough Charter. And yet, as hostility against equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) gains momentum and spreads across Canada — and as a full-blown EDI-backlash is dismantling civil rights throughout the U.S. — Black Canadian scholars are growing increasingly fearful that these minimal commitments are being abandoned. The electoral platform of the Conservative Party of Canada was rife with dog-whistle rhetoric about “ending wokeism” and even though the party ultimately did not form government, the constituency for a return to explicit and continual institutional discrimination is growing by the day. Moreover, the return of Parliament may mean a resumption of hearings in the House of Commons about the criteria for awarding federal funding for research excellence in Canada. The hearings have largely focused on claims by university faculty called as witnesses that the criteria related to research funding for social and natural sciences, humanities, engineering and health are unfair as they seek to address extensive inequities in funding competitions. Multiple witnesses, without concrete evidence, accused recent EDI initiatives meant to support women, racialized minorities and other equity-seeking groups of lowering standards of research. The hearings gave voice to easily debunked, yet often-heard rhetoric pitting diversity and research excellence against each other. These arguments suggest that an emphasis on equity “divert(s) attention” from the quality of projects or equates EDI considerations to a “religion” where being a white man is an original sin. The orientation of the new government towards economic priorities may mean that committees and hearings such as these veer even further away from equity-oriented work.

Delta wing designs will harry a lot of H2. It is suitable for LH2. Carbon fibre reinforced wing tanks. Efficiency is not as bad as other storage processes. Exportable/transportable fuel has huge advantages in monetizing surplus renewables. Self-vapourising fuel is a major crash issue. I don’t know about this. Vaporization does create a cooling effect, and having some battery can increase takeoff power and be charged during flight. Venting pressure release is an easy option.
