    I faced this from most of the large Canadian rental agencies when I was in that age bracket back in the 2000s - I only found one at the time that would rent to me, and they required the credit card of someone over the age of 25 (which they didn't tell me until I actually showed up to pick up the vehicle). Things may have changed in the last decade or so but this isn't something new for Canada.

    I own an EV and there's definitely a setting in the car to specify what time of day to charge (and my charger itself also has an app where I can specify that time restriction).

    Huh?? Do I see differently than everyone else? I can definitely still see my one closed eye's darkness. It's like a 98% transparent overlay on my open eye's vision that's a slightly different colour.

    Seriously!!! I don't want to just leave random meat by dogs, I want to pet them!

    (also, it's a bit creepy you can feed the dogs gourmet meat from wolves ... it's sort of cannibalism)

    I got one this year and really love it - the drive is quite peppy, range is much better than advertised, and it's a comfortable car. There are a few minor downsides, such as I've encountered a few glitches along the way (occasionally the driver side mirror won't go back to the normal position automatically after backing up), but these seem to be pretty minimal and are getting fixed with software updates.

  • Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit age-inappropriate. Any suggestions from the community?

    I was coming here to say the same thing - it's a fun sidescroller and I don't recall anything too scary other than a chase scene (which isn't gory at all). The educational bits are videos of the group's elders telling their traditional stories and way of life which she might still find interesting.

    So with the approval of the Online News Act, Google and other content aggregators have decided to block links to Canadian news sources. I know that's my main way I get local news, so I thought I would start a thread here with local news links. Feel free to reply with any others you know about that I haven't included. https://www.kingstonist.com/ https://www.thewhig.com/ https://kingstonherald.com/ https://globalnews.ca/kingston/program/global-news-morning-kingston/ https://www.iheartradio.ca/Author/Author/CFRA%20News%20Staff https://www.intelligencer.ca/ (Belleville)
