Canada@lemmy.ca•Snowbirds set to fly iconic jets for last time this weekend
2·8 hours agoYa, right in the feels.
I hadn’t seen them in 20 years so I made a significant effort (and spent money I didn’t have) to make a trip to see them. For me it felt like being at a funeral for a person that was still alive.
It was worth it and they were even better than I remembered.

Canada@lemmy.ca•A Winnipeg bridge is coming down — 99% of it has been recycledEnglish
3·8 hours agoThe city spent decades growing and sprawling
I lived there for a little bit and saw that obvious glaring issue but also the fact that there isnt an easy way to fix it.
There was tons of development that kept happening just outside city limits where the city had no control over development. Then every few years the boundaries of the city would be expanded to include the new development and they’d get hooked into city sewer + water at that point.
Also going on at the time I was there (pre-pandemic) the real estate market was going crazy so any pressure to reduce the sprawl may not have gone over well if the politicians even saw a problem happening.
Also also, I don’t know how true this part is, but locals would tell me about the rampant corruption in infrastructure projects where even after suspected fraud was exposed, nothing changed. The road/infrastructure projects near me at the time seemed crazy expensive, poorly thought out, and prone to failure. Mainly, concrete for every fucking road ever. The concrete would crack and fail in a few years then they would do concrete again.
That city blew my fucking mind.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Epic CEO says ousting Jensen would be 'Apple firing Steve Jobs level of idiocy'—Musk would hire himEnglish
81·2 days agoIDK if it’s true but I’ve heard he’s one of the few hyper competent CEO’s. Like he actually gets what’s going on and shit. If that’s true then I kind of understand why it would be a bad idea to fire him. At the same time he was fucking a Chinese spy and giving her puppet company some sort of special treatment so I don’t see how they could possibly NOT fire him.
Also, havent the Chinese tried the honeypot thing on a LOT of people in the tech industry? I thought this was a known thing they were doing. So was the honeypot just the excuse for allowing a bunch of cards to be funneled into China? Wouldn’t you be concerned if you were going to invite this guy to run your company that his poor judgement would strike again?
I’m just rambling at this point. Fuck that cheating piece of shit.

Fediverse vs Disinformation@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Largest “Transition Regret” Study Ever Finds It’s Incredibly Rare Up To 10 Years Later
21·3 days agoOf course one of the talking points I hear about is that the younger they start the more likely people are to regret it. I kind of doubted that already, but its good to get real data on it.
What. The. Fuck.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada should tariff all the flights from the USA that cross into Canadian Air spaceEnglish
2·3 days agoWhile I agree that the damage is done, I think right now is the wrong time to create new ways of antagonizing them. We have the new tariffs coming into effect just before the new congress is seated; if they don’t start attacking that pretty quick THEN we start hitting them with more things.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Manitoba trucking company shut down, linked to carrier involved in deadly Brandon crashEnglish
7·8 days agodirector of operations for Conquer Transport, told CBC News in June 2026 that he helped his son and daughter-in-law set up the Alberta operations in 2022 after the Manitoba branch was closed.
I’ve heard this is a common play when running shady businesses. Keep going until you get shut down or someone gets sent to jail, shuffle the assets around, reform the business with a different family member running it. Maybe someone serves some jail time but it’s ok, the family will take care of him once he’s out.
When I write it out like that it sounds a lot like organized crime.

Canada@lemmy.ca•'My final years poisoned': Court hears 90-year-old rape victim's powerful statement written before her death | CBC NewsEnglish
11·8 days agoThere are some people that are completely incapable of living in society. I guess that’s what dangerous offender status is for but it sucks that this much harm has to be done before it reaches that point.
When it comes to misogyny or rasicsm you wouldn’t tell someone to just try and do less of it.
Idk, these are very different things. If I think about how much I hate (some group) then I may be a racist based on that alone. If I don’t consume animal products but I fantasize about eating a cheeseburger I would still be a vegan.
Nobody is going to literally say “just do less racism” but in practice we often only deal with small parts of someone’s racism.
Sometimes one, sometimes the other, sometimes somewhere in the middle.

Of course it’s the wonder valley project. I don’t have time to read the full article just now but last I had heard it kind of sounded more like investor fraud than a legitimate project.
Edit: Here’s a youtuber covering it. Also at about 5:03 he shows the promo video that Kevin O’Leary AI slopped… It’s ridiculous.
