CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@Dianora Part of a trend I'm afraid. Blue Line Taxi and CAA have both gone that way as well, I've found. I haven't found any way to speak to a real person, though both have apps you can use instead of voice AI.

@Dianora @mike It popped right into my head - an old ear worm.

@Dianora @mike .. as Edwin Star sang in his 1969 song "War" - I'm sure most people of my generation can still sing along.

@samnabi @Centretowner @kevinbowrin No doubt they will be expected to fix their budget issues without expanding services into, say, Postal Banking. We can't have "unfair" competition for big banks that have been abandoning small communities for decades, after all.

@controlc It's because they're concrete - much more durable but more expensive, too. That's why you only see it on high volume expressways.

@giflian #Ontario is also on board with a move to permanent Daylight Savings Time, but only after Quebec and New York State do the same.
There is some symmetry to standard time as the sun is at its apex about noon (not exactly except in the middle of the 15-degree time zone, adjusted for political boundaries of course). However, people like those long daylight evenings so most seem to prefer DST year round. Alternatively, we could shift our workday to 8-to-4 instead of 9-to-5 I suppose.
