Nice to have actual snow removal.
Down here, they just push it around until you have an wall of ice blocking your drive and call it done.

Toronto is not perfect but compared to everywhere else I've lived or visited, it is functionally utopia lol. Just very reasonable, pleasant, and delivers on all the important stuff.

As a result people bicker constantly about total bs lol

When I was a child we didn't have PURPLE BULLDOZERS

djdynamic.ca•73 days ago

I love the purple bulldozer!!! Purple also seems to be Orion's favourite colour though I can't tell if he likes the colour itself or just saying the word lol. But he says purple much more enthusiastically than he says the other colours.

Never thought about it (even as a linguist), but it is indeed fun to say.

Purple bulldozers are currently second on the list of things I resent not having had when I was a child - well behind the small motorized rechargeable cars you can drive around.

Oh my god I wanted one of those motorized cars SO BAD as a kid. Way too expensive but damn they were so cool lol

I work with a woman who *needs* purple. She dresses in purple, always. Her keyboard is purple. The mousepad too. Her pens. Her water bottle. It’s quite amazing.

Orion? Beautiful!

Thank you! We made a spreadsheet (lol) and that was the favourite for both of us :D

slockyunderscore.bsky.social•73 days ago

what neighborhood do you live in where they actually do this? jelly

djdynamic.ca•73 days ago

South Etobicoke, though it has taken them a full week to even get to this extremely major intersection on Royal York lol

slockyunderscore.bsky.social•72 days ago

....and worse is that so many of these sidewalks that have been professionally cleared couldn't accomodate a grocery cart, let alone a stroller orna wheelchair

slockyunderscore.bsky.social•72 days ago

yeah we're still pretty buried here in etobicoke. scarborough is looking just as bad (at danforth & kennedy, the snow was still piled in the intersection on fri)
