There are anti-vax protests all over Europe as well. Like you said, there’s stupid everywhere...

Dear Cops/First Responders/Soldiers/whatever brand of badged workers, the right wing worships and loves you only so long as you are acting in support of them and their profits. Step out of line and you’re their enemy just as much as any “damn libruls”.
If the traitors on Jan. 6 beating a cop with a US flag didn’t drive…

Just want to clarify that the Critical Infrastructure Defence Act isn’t best described as a “Canadian law”, because it’s a provincial (Alberta) law. The fun part is that the very conservative provincial government pretty clearly enacted it to be used against Indigenous and other “leftist” protestors that they didn’t…

There’s rednecks everywhere, not just in the South, no matter what you’ve been lead to believe. Canadia is no exception.

For what it’s worth, Oilberta has always been like that.

This one is crazy - I’m 31, so I never really had to pull out the old MacNally, (only when Dad felt nostalgic) but the freedom I have to essentially drive anywhere I want(as long as I have a hint of service), and then find somewhere else and know exactly how to get there is amazing. I used to have to plan ahead, print…

You...snap photos of paper maps to put on your phone?

I can do it, but its just a nice little thing that makes the process a bit more seamless. Not having to fish keys out of your pocket on a cold day when youre wearing gloves is pretty great. 

He turned me into a newt!

Automatic transmissions. They were so bad back in the day. Especially the 4 speed autos or even the 3 speed. What insane animal thought 3 speeds is good enough for the highway?

“Huh you don’t use brake pads on an EV”

He’s a witch! Burn him!

Almost every EV uses regenerative braking. Brake pad life is increased massively. I wouldn’t be shocked if the next generation of EVs never required pads to be changed ever.

Bent, missing, broken car antennae.

Fumbling with paper maps and printed directions. It’s incredible to think how systems like CarPlay have made that whole process a trivial 1-sentence request.

I have an EV, so:

Couldn’t you say, vacuum operated *anything*?

Thank God I don’t have to run a car charger to my portable CD player, connected to my tape adapter that needs wiggled the right way into the car’s tape deck. The portable CD player needed to sit level on the center console, and even with shock protection would from time to time skip over speed bumps and other bumps…

Don’t forget when some brands issued separate door and ignition keys! I don’t miss that!

Geez... where to start. Since it’s currently winter, I’ll go with cold starts. Back in the day when 100,000 miles was almost unheard of for a car, everything got worn out well before then. So on a day like today (it’s 0F where I am today) that meant that your car would prefer you just didn’t use it. If you wanted to,…
