Great question! I think now more then ever is a great time to get more people to go full metric!

How about Black media, which at one point ran every small town newspaper in BC. Pretty sure that was some billionaire but BC based.
Not gonna say they are good because they definitely have shilled for conservatives in the past. I'm just curious where they are today on this scale. Would not surprise me if they were bought south.
*Edit.. not surprising
We need to convince the billionaires that this is the cool thing for them to do...
Re: marketing etc comment at the bottom
This is certainly marketing, whether for the product or the service. However, it's also got an educational component which is why I've enjoyed Slant3D's videos - I have no use for a print farm service but some of the ideas and principles they want to encourage still apply to my hobbyist designs. That said, whenever I talk about 3d printing with friends and family, someone will talk about doing it as a business and I point to a service like this for that.
There is certainly a grey area to balance but I would lump this content in educational and worthy of discussion. And that's probably the biggest thing to encourage with a post here - where is the discussion going when sharing content. As a community grows in volume of posts, stricter standards and forking off communities for different niches need to happen.
This is a good little video about how they got to the point they're at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ58noGoBm4
They are basically the poster child of enshittification (as far as Canadian restaurants go anyway).
My brain is itchy now.
Now with more cars having AWD they should need it less Quick clarifications, via 2 points: A) AWD does not help one iota when you need to steer or brake. B) Road maintenance is done for the lowest common denominator.
Better *tires *would mean less salt needed, but some places (like yours by the sound of it) end up needing more of the ice/snow removed due to more people with bad tires.
Now, that said, yeah, it's pretty ridiculous the amount of salt that goes down sometimes when more plowing and maybe a bit of sand would be more effective.
Controversial opinion time: no matter your stance on Diversity, Equality and Inclusion, it was doomed from the start, because it’s too easy to be perceived as unfair discrimination.
I get people not knowing what DEI stands for (because all they see is DEI this and DEI that), but when you spell out the words it sure makes that opinion sound a bit dumb, doesn't it? I recommend anyone everywhere to correct people complaining about DEI do exactly this.
Edited to be a bit less inflammatory than I needed to be...
I deleted FB from my life a few years back, but I'm like >< this close to trying to set up a domain and my own friendica just for family. Back in the days of chronological order, FB was really nice for sharing photos and life event stuff. Now, saying that out loud (so to speak), maybe Pixelfed would satisfy that too - no idea because I never used it's corpo cousin!
Why don't *you *manufacture it in Africa? Set up a factory and export it to Canada and I'll buy some if I see it on my store shelves.
Be the change you want!
