The club's name, Rapid, was a compromise between traditional North American "mascot" names, viscerality, and geographical context. The geology of the Ottawa Valley, and a "sense of speed and progress", were described by the club as imagery intended to be evoked by the name
They should be on Mastodon, but that transition seems quite unlikely this election cycle.

Aslo wanted to note, the federal NDP is on BlueSky, although they aren't as active as they should be. There's some provincial accounts too, although that varies from province to province.
I admit, I had to look up Liz White. I'm not sure why you bothered to include someone who manages less than 250 votes while ignoring the dozen other party leaders with similarly limited support.
She has an interesting perspective but, like other micro-parties, the Animal Protection Party is not likely to meaningfully contribute to a minority government (even with proportional representation)
The author criticizes national-level projects by proposing projects that are entirely handled provincially (or even municipally, specifically in Toronto & Ontario). Yes, this is TVO, which is Ontario-specific, but confusing the responsibilities and capabilities of two different levels of government is not beneficial.
This shouldn't be an either-or situation, but more of let the nation focus on one, and the province on the other. That said, bolstering the judicial system and adding some doors isn't really going to do much for the economy...
Once the election is officially called on Sunday, will the bill be considered dead and have to be reintroduced in the next parliament? In effect, don't petitions also die when the bill associated with them dies?
It may as well be delayed until the bill is re-introduced with the next government, as it may not even be re-tabled in the House with its current deficiencies.
This is true (about an hour before any official policy was released), which means it was published as a half-informed leak instead of news of actual policy. However, claiming an (inaccurate) leak as released policy remains misleading.
Like most USian news sources, the article is misleading. Ford said he will add a 25% export tax on electricity IF tariffs persist. He did not provide a timeline on exactly when he might do it. He referred to this as "keeping the powder dry"
Moncton would be fun, and is likely the only other option in the Atlantic. Newfoundland could perhaps manage something in St. John's, but travel is always a big issue.
I think we'll see more of a Halifax - Moncton rivalry materialize in League1 Atlantic, with an eventual upgrade to bring the rivalry to the top tier once a club has more solid footing.
The real shame is the continued absence of any side in Quebec. Montreal and Quebec City are necessary additions to the league, and the fact that they aren't top-2 for 2026 remains concerning.
!greater_sudbury@lemmy.ca is actually the 2nd or 3rd oldest city-based community on lemmy.ca . It's not very active, but should definitely be added to this list.
For team-specific Canadian-based soccer teams, there's !torontofc@lemmy.ca of the MLS (US-league with 3 Canadian-based teams). Other MLS sides include Vancouver Whitecaps and CF Montreal, which I don't think have a community created.
None of the 8 Canadian Premier League teams, nor any of the numerous League1 Canada sides have taken steps to establish their communities yet (as far as I know).
For years, public safety organizations have used Twitter as an effective way to share information with the public in real time, Levy said.
And for years, rampant misinformation has spread virally in real time thanks to these same actions. The number of times I've been stuck in some sort of lock-down because of a supposed shooter in the area, that was actually half-way across town, is just more evidence that social media never should have been used for spreading any sort of official warning about situations.
This kind of info should be posted to the official site of the organization, and if it's actually something that people in the area **need ** to know about, sent directly to people's phones (in a manner similar to the Amber Alert system).
According to Wikipedia:

Here's a few of their handles for those looking:

It's worse than you think.

So, from my understanding, the bill dies, but the petition persists. Thanks for clearing that up!

Just a quick note that one (1) current CPL player is on the list:
Jimoh, Shola // York United FC
This one is behind a paywall, but it is easily bypassed at https://12ft.io/

This sounds cool, but it doesn't look like it's intended to ever go to market.
Maybe there will be a pivot with the current political situation state-side, but that doesn't seem to be the purpose of this project.
Still, a project worth rooting for! I just signed up to receive updates straight from their website: https://projectarrow.ca/
"Everyone was out trying to clear snow from the big storm, but @Sunshine@lemmy.ca was nowhere to be found. We were all cold & completely in the dark!"
;)
Are we just going to copy/paste the rules from Reddit, or are we devising a different way to launch the Model Parliament?
If I see any, I'll be sure to let you know!

Also, !canadasoccer@lemmy.ca would be a good community to add to the soccer category.

Peertube is the Fediverse equivalent. It needs more content, and more instances to host said content, but it's a good start.

Ah. I suspected ESP had wifi buit-in, but I've never used ESP myself.
If the power draw is about the same as a security camera, it could perhaps be plugged into one of the small solar units meant for an external camera.
Now that I know it's wifi, I may just need to get one and see if it'll work with my solar cells. Should be a fun experiment!
Thanks for answering my questions!
