there's something so beautiful about a ballpark being in the middle of a neighborhood Wrigley Field is the absolute best

This is WICKED cool! They have a bunch of old TVs playing some of the greatest Jays moments in history by the season ticket holder entrance 🔥

John Gerrard's "Western Flag" is probably the most relevant work of art right now.

I've plotted the most expensive McDonald's burger and the least expensive MacBook over time. This analysis projects that the most expensive burger will be more expensive than the cheapest laptop as soon as 2081

We asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country. The U.S. is the only place we surveyed where more adults describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad than good.

@CBCOlympics why soooooooooo many commercials … doesn’t the @CRTC not have a limit on the number of commercials per hour?

There are two things in life that should be commercial and commentary free: the Olympic Opening and Closing Ceremonies @CBC @Olympics

Word of the day: Sneckdown After a snowstorm, cars will naturally carve out the paths that they actually need The space they’re not using can be reimagined for something more useful!

the difference between Canadian and American settlement partners is stark: even mid sized canadian cities are denser, and there's far less sprawl with more undeveloped nature or farmland.

This is a really good point. The big 3 US makers have been slowing production in Canada for years, Trump only accelerated it. Most of their Ontario plants are inactive, only the Japanese-run plants are going full tilt. Oshawa – Active – Chevy Silverado (being cut back) CAMI Ingersoll – Inactive Alliston – Active – Honda Civic, CRV Cambridge – Active – Toyota RAV4 Woodstock – Active – Toyota RAV4 Windsor – Active – Chrysler Pacifica. Oakville – Inactive (retooling) Brampton – Inactive In 1999 3 million cars were made in Canada, now that number is just 1.3m, 80% Japanese models. These jobs went to Mexico and the US South. An injection of Chinese investment and technology could make a dying industry, and the massive supply chain and jobs it supports (steel, parts, engineering) competitive again. If the US shuts Canada out of their auto market, we can reorient to make and buy our cars domestically. Economies of scale are much easier because of the rise of software-directed modular production, being pioneered by Hyundai and Magna. 10 car models can be made in a single factory. Trump's weakness despite having all these tech people around him, is not understanding how much technology has marched on since the 80s. Energy, via solar and SMRs, will be plentiful making his chase after oil silly, EVs are much simpler to build and maintain, automation and AI are entering manufacturing workflows, meaning the jobs can be created anywhere. The future is bright for those countries that can grasp the opportunities before them.
