  1. Brilliant. The city of #Regina has replaced its in-house map of current road closures and restrictions due to construction etc with an embedded Waze map.

    Which doesn't show anything other than the bare map to me, in Firefox *or* in Vivaldi.

    Well done, lads. Well done. In addition to sending visitors' locations to a US company who then resells it, you've actually stopped it from doing anything useful at all.

  6. “Canada was supposed to be the safe place.”

    The Punishing Animal by B. Pladek is set in a Canadian wilderness park and refugee camp. The story is set in the near future following an American civil war. Just like in real-life, present day Canada, being sent to Regina is a sort of punishment. lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction #Ontario #regina #sciencefiction

  16. I forgot to mention: if you're in the #YQR / Regina area, tomorrow (Saturday 8 August 2026) is the #Regina Repair Cafe for this month. It's at the Victoria Square Mall, so lots of parking. It runs 10am - 4pm.

    If you have stuff that is not working or broken, there's a good chance one of us volunteers can fix it for you. And it's free! We help keep stuff from ending up in the landfill before its time, and save you the expense of having to replace it.

    And yes, we fix stuff you can't get fixed "professionally" because no one fixes small appliances and whatnot any more, because everyone says "Just buy a new one, it's cheaper". Not everyone can afford to "just" replace stuff, and there's the whole environment thing.

    I guess we're adding a fourth "R" to the circle of life: reduce, re-use, repair, recycle.

    I'm just a volunteer, not an organizer or official publicist or anything like that. But come down and say "Hi".
