like all things rail in the North, cost is the issue. you need strong ridership to justify running a good service; you need good service to attract much ridership

much as I would love any expansion of passenger rail, I'm not optimistic. but it's worth remembering that trains mostly shrug off the kind of winter weather that closes highways for days

eg:

「JR東日本をご利用くださいましてありがとうございます。」

the usual, mundane way to translate that into English is:

"Thank you for using JR East."

but it doesn't really express the degree to which, despite you being a paying customer, they really appreciate you using their train. as if you are doing them a favour as well 😅

random musings:

the way language encapsulates culture is super interesting.

and it's both amazing & disappointing that translating a sentence often crushes all the nuance out of it

"They're gonna have to do a lot of drilling to replace the four million barrels a day that comes from Canada"

as much as it pains me to admit that Jason Kenney is right about anything, he's absolutely correct here

US domestic output is at an all time record of 13.5 million bpd

and on top of that, the US still imports an additional 4 million bpd from up here in Canadia

regular plea to english-speaking folks: please don't trim the diacritics (accents) off other languages

it's the difference between "cuatro años de gobierno" (four years in office) and "cuatro anos de gobierno" (four assholes in office)

I can't believe Yves-François Blanchet has only been leader of the BQ for the past 5 years. It feels more like 15.

probably because every year since 2019 has dragged on for what feels like a century.
