A lot of Canadians are sick and tired of our corrupt, lying government. It's laughable to reduce critics of Trudeau and the Liberal party as mere "convoyers" or "Ontario proud" characters.
I voted for Trudeau in 2015 and am so fucking done with this clown and his party.

It's because we're governed by corrupt imbeciles.

I built a simple meal plan / shopping list builder app. Certainly not revolutionary, but my wife and I use it everyday.

Chez Monique saved my ass. Despite doing my best to plan and ration my food, I burned through it at an alarming rate. I re-upped hard at Moniques and it got me through the remainder of the hike.

This blog post exaggerates the danger. I did this hike in 2011 and while very strenuous, is not as extreme as the author makes it out to be.
That said, underestimate it at your peril. There was a posse of "fancy Moms" from Toronto along the trail when I did it. Several of them tapped out on day 2.
The West Coast Trail is the definition of type 2 fun. While certainly a memorable experience, I wouldn't do it twice.

For good reason. I live in Ottawa and interact with a good many government workers that aren't shy about how little work they do. I'm not convinced increasing comp is going to somehow motivate these folks into greater productivity.

This is a mistake. I'm a designer by trade but do a lot of development in my free time. I use DO for serving all my projects. The reason I initially selected them is because their tutorials are so good. Besides price, it was a huge factor in my decision to host with them.
Eliminating teams that create technical content is going to backfire.

100%. The entitlement in that post is comical. Reminds me of startup colleagues bitching about the free gourmet sandwiches being 'shitty'. Some people need a reality check.

Dropper posts are one of the most helpful pieces of equipment you can put on a mountain bike. It completely changes how you ride.
If I gave you a hardtail with a traditional post, then the same bike with a dropper, your opinion would change in minutes.
