The word suggests a defamatory falsehood, so using the word blood libel suggests the person using the term believes it is a falsehood. I have very little interest in prejudicial fairy tales.

The passage you quoted talked of Canadian national unity being adrift due in part smearing of blood libel. I really don't understand the comment to be honest, but assumed they meant something related to Canada's history. The whole idea of blood libel has never made any sort of sense to me.

Did I miss it? I didn't notice it, other than it being mentioned as an analogy. I would think describing it as blood libel also suggests the person doesn't endorse the idea. So, I'm not seeing the antisemitism.

Worth noting that combustion of hydrogen still results in pollution, so utilizing hydrogen in a fuel cell is preferable.

It probably will take quite some time to convert to hydrogen, if they do at all. It's actually kind of pointless to burn hydrogen in a central plant, especially if you aren't utilizing the waste heat. Better to have battery storage to serve peaking requirements, and big institutions can have...

I think a lot of people who are anti-Musk also have a fairly surface understanding of him. He's definitely not an angel but he's also not a cartoon villain. People like simple narratives, especially about billionaires, whether it is Musk, Bezos or Galen.

Tesla is still the best choice, but if people are going to be that political about the car they drive, Hyundai makes decent EVs. The battery issue is more a pricing/service challenge. There is no way they should be charging that much for a replacement pack. I think that price is Hyundai Canada's...

I think in 2013, most of it fell in 1 or 2 hours. I remember the power went out at work so I went home. The roads were flooded (had to detour around a railway underpass), and sheets of water were shooting off the roof right over the gutters. Window wells for the basement were filled

Classic S curve seen time and again. Lots of people are in denial, not least legacy automakers.

If you're anti Tesla, I suggest Hyundai.

Toyota makes EVs. They aren't great. See bz4x.

My point being that it is laughable to suggest bike lanes shouldn't be "that far west" when Mississauga has quite a few. And Mississauga doesn't just have painted bicycle gutters.

Lots of bike lanes in Mississauga...

So I guess the extra 4 minutes of drive time is meaningless because everyone's situation is so unique.

Break it down. Average insurance cost is $1655 https://www.thinkinsure.ca/insurance-help-centre/average-car-insurance-ontario.html Average distance driven is 16k km per year...

Platform gaps are not the end of the world. Passenger trains around the world have vehicle-side gap fillers to enable level-boarding.

The poor folks that own a car are the biggest potential beneficiaries of better bike infra. Cars cost a minimum of $4-5k to keep on the road per year

Yes chef!

The folks that struggle to afford a winter coat don't, by and large, own cars. They would mainly be taking transit. And even in the Netherlands, most commuting trips are done by car (65%), it's more about substituting short local trips done by car with walking and cycling. Bikeshare could do...

I'd say my grocery store carries a similar range of craft beer as LCBO, perhaps more. Perhaps that will change now that they can sell 24s and need to allocate shelf space to same.
