@swabag You're *

@cdncyclist Holy crap, we went there for dinner too, but the boats were sitting in the muck as the tide was out.

Farewell to Nova Scotia One last meal at the Lobster Pound in Hall’s Harbour before heading home Nice view from the table

Thanks #Brazil. Always a great time even if racing with a stomach bug wasn’t. #panamchamps

Salty day out there!

@FedEx customer service / satisfaction. 👎🏼 Holding my package hostage and making me sit on hold for 3 hours. Super cool.

@MarkAllanCairns Nope. The bike was easy to get used to, the Fox suspension took a second to get right but we had lots of time training on them before racing.

@Petey__D Did it take you long to adapt to the Pivot line of bikes from the Norco line? I wasn’t sure if dialing bikes in at your level takes a few races or not.

Out racing! US Cups are underway.

The economics team at ScotiaBank not mincing words.

New team, same dream. See why olympians like Peter Disera race the US Pro Cup’s to sharpen their early season fitness and use it as a springboard for the trail to Paris! Come watch Petey D & some of the globes fastest racers at Vail lake 3/31-4/2 and Fayetteville, AR 4/12-4/15.

Registered for the US cups today! Stoked to get racing in California and Arkansas. Man…that US dollar stung through. Registration fees after conversion: $788CAD Should’ve registered a month ago before the dollar lost 5%

But why

@fitwithheather @GalbraithElliot & the house hoarding investor/landlord, again talking about 1st time home buyer incentives/rebates, on a $750k new build investor pays 20% down+ $37500 GST VS 1st time home buyer can do less down & save the GST. That would increase affordability & competitiveness of new buyer

@fitwithheather @GalbraithElliot Is issue with the Adam Smith theory is that property tax goes to local gov for municipal roads, sewer, garbage, public transportation (in Ontario), etc. Income tax as we know is fed & Prov.

Here’s a thought Federal gov claims to be all for affordable housing. Yet, GST is charged on all new builds more than $450k Where in BC can you buy a new build for under $450k? Want affordable housing? Flood the market with supply & make it less expensive to purchase new supply

@fitwithheather @GalbraithElliot Elliot the focus here was GST/HST on new builds for first time home buyers. Valuations are out of hand because of lack of supply & there’s a need to increase the property purchase price eligible for the tax credit Incentives to build new, build more & build competitive required

EVs to the rescue? ~125,000kms for an EV to reach emissions neutrality vs. combustion engine. Average Canadian only drives 15,200km/year and owns a car for 13 years. So, a whopping net 1.7 metric ton/y reduction over life of car = 42MM metric tons/y = 7% national drop at 100% EVs

Nuclear > Natural Gas > Coal

@midweekcycling @CharlesBodi Yea and 100k cars rolling down the 401 at 140kph and not getting tickets far outweighs the amount of j-walking I do (without ID)

@CharlesBodi Lol.

The application of the law needs to be consistent. Ticketing motorists yet letting cyclists off with a warning, without showing any ID, undermines the legal system.

@midweekcycling @arkadiu31481384 I was victim to 3 rolling coal encounters today. Want to know what was consistent with all of them. Your hat.

@arkadiu31481384 I thought you were pro-Freedom?

About time that cyclists get a lesson on road rules and manners.
