The picture in that article is definitely Xan Mccurdy…

I’ve used Sync for years and it’s great. I would be shocked if none of the other companies you noted here advertise on a Meta owned platform.

This is a great article looking into the evidence regarding the impact of bike lanes on traffic in Toronto. It turns out, there’s no clear relationship. This would matter if Doug Ford wasn’t science illiterate.

(I realize this is paywalled, but maybe some people have access.)

Yup. Unsurprising given Ford’s track record.

This sounds great but damn, it’s expensive for what it is.

Notably: “The White House says, “Canada has extracted a persistent average annual goods trade deficit of roughly $50 billion from the U.S. over the last decade — while refusing reciprocal access.”

The overall number is correct (it was $48.5 billion in 2025, according to the U.S. Trade Representative). But as premiers and others have repeatedly noted, the only reason for that is because Canada exported 3.9 million barrels of oil per day to the U.S. last year.

States near Canada’s border need the oil, and it’s sold at below-market prices, a significant economic advantage for the U.S.

If that oil were removed from the calculation, the U.S. would have a goods surplus with Canada. In other words, excluding energy, it exports more stuff to Canada than Canada exports to the U.S.”

That’s a pretty weak heuristic. They’re a privacy focused Canadian cloud storage company with Canadian servers…

I realize this is of course subjective, but that claim is just absurd.

What’s wrong with Sync?
