I know it's a long shot, but does anyone out there have any recommendations for the Meridian Credit Union board elections?
Haven't found too many use cases for my normal lens with a lens motor stuck at near focus since there is no driver for the focus motor yet in #postmarketos. But I suppose #cherryblossom will do. Taken on St. Clarens Avenue.

I tell the whole story in this week's High Speed dispatch:

Did you know 90% of leafy greens in Canada are imported -- and most of that from California?

A great way to support local farmers, get high quality fresh local food, and reduce the distance your food travels is to buy a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share for the season.

I've been doing it for over 15 years. I love how it keeps me grounded in the seasons.

Good list of Toronto CSA locations here:

This article claims the Darlington refurbishment project, often praised as an example of Ontario nuclear projects being on time and on budget, is actually behind and over budget (by about $3.3B).

When I checked the sources of this org's published fact sheet (https://euzvzapheqq.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Darlington-Refurbishment-Report.pdf) though, which they're basing these claims on, it only lists one third party source other than Global News and the Ontario government: "Ontario Energy Board Docket No. EB-2025-0297".

I understand that the Ontario Energy Board can be considered an authoritative source, but it's odd that no other potential sources, like news orgs, have spoken out about the alleged delays and cost overruns.

Can anyone with nuclear energy expertise weigh in on this? Are these claims legit?

Lecce’s nuclear spin – and the $3.3 billion detail he forgot to mention

Stephen Lecce says Darlington was β€œon budget & ahead of schedule.” OPG’s own filings say it’s at least 25% over budget and needs 6 more years. The truth matters. #onpoli #ontarionews
