1y 1mon ago in nsl@lemmy.ca from www.cbc.caAccording to Wikipedia:
The club's name, Rapid, was a compromise between traditional North American "mascot" names, viscerality, and geographical context. The geology of the Ottawa Valley, and a "sense of speed and progress", were described by the club as imagery intended to be evoked by the name

Aslo wanted to note, the federal NDP is on BlueSky, although they aren't as active as they should be. There's some provincial accounts too, although that varies from province to province.
Here's a few of their handles for those looking:
We Got Dentalcare and Pharmacare Due to The Liberals Being The Minority Government
1y 2mon ago in canada@lemmy.ca from lemmy.caI admit, I had to look up Liz White. I'm not sure why you bothered to include someone who manages less than 250 votes while ignoring the dozen other party leaders with similarly limited support.
She has an interesting perspective but, like other micro-parties, the Animal Protection Party is not likely to meaningfully contribute to a minority government (even with proportional representation)
ANALYSIS: Canadians are talking about big projects. Let’s try small ones first
1y 2mon ago in ontario@lemmy.ca from www.tvo.orgIt's worse than you think.
The author criticizes national-level projects by proposing projects that are entirely handled provincially (or even municipally, specifically in Toronto & Ontario). Yes, this is TVO, which is Ontario-specific, but confusing the responsibilities and capabilities of two different levels of government is not beneficial.
This shouldn't be an either-or situation, but more of let the nation focus on one, and the province on the other. That said, bolstering the judicial system and adding some doors isn't really going to do much for the economy...
Canadians on Lemmy, Help Create a Petition Against Trampling Civil Liberties
1y 2mon ago in canada@lemmy.caSo, from my understanding, the bill dies, but the petition persists. Thanks for clearing that up!
Once the election is officially called on Sunday, will the bill be considered dead and have to be reintroduced in the next parliament? In effect, don't petitions also die when the bill associated with them dies?
It may as well be delayed until the bill is re-introduced with the next government, as it may not even be re-tabled in the House with its current deficiencies.
Ontario to Slap Export Tax on Electricity to U.S.
1y 3mon ago in canada@lemmy.ca from www.wsj.comThis is true (about an hour before any official policy was released), which means it was published as a half-informed leak instead of news of actual policy. However, claiming an (inaccurate) leak as released policy remains misleading.
Like most USian news sources, the article is misleading. Ford said he will add a 25% export tax on electricity IF tariffs persist. He did not provide a timeline on exactly when he might do it. He referred to this as "keeping the powder dry"
