Greece, Wallowing in the Last of Its White Privilege

Somehow, someway, Greece has met its latest debt obligations, a 750 million euro payment to the International Monetary Fund. True, Athens used an IMF account to repay the IMF and is more or less blackmailing protection money from its municipalities. But to be fair, that's actually a slight moral improvement on its usual strategy of blackmailing the Germans while holding the eurozone hostage.
The debt negotiations are basically a sham, of course, because nobody really thinks the Greeks are good for their whole 315 billion euro debt, but nobody wants to call them on it. Still, it's necessary theater. The Greeks pretend to be frugal and the Germans pretend to believe them, because if they didn't, Angela Merkel's government would probably collapse. Or the euro would, at least in Greece, and that would collapse the great pretensions of the European project: that the continent is different, changed forever, and the ghosts of Europe Past are truly gone.
It is an inconvenient truth that European states like Greece can get free money and states like Cameroon can't because of birthright. The Greeks were born lucky. They are a member—perhaps really the founding member—of the European project, which depending on your level of fidelity has brought or helped bring or was ancillary to bringing unprecedented peace and prosperity to an historically violent continent.
The conditions that launched European prosperity after 1945 are eroding, regardless of how long Germany keeps paying Greece.
Where that prosperity came from is something of a puzzle. Post-1945 Europe was in cinders, after all, and bifurcated by a profoundly anti-prosperity political movement. Europeans will say their success has come from the EU's grand political experiment, its newfound norms of peace and consensus, and its commitment to market integration.
Those things are all true, but it is also true Europeans were released from every one of their traditional security concerns by living under the shield of the United States. In some ways, theirs is exactly how the United States got rich in the hundred years after 1823, by unleashing tremendous human capital on a virgin continent. But unlike the United States, Europe wasn't bequeathed a permanently peaceful homeland; it has Turkey and Russia on its main borders, not oceans. The European project thrived at a rare moment when they didn't really have to worry about either. The former wanted in and the latter was handled by the Americans.
Despite a remaining dribble of decolonization wars, the EU was allowed to blossom in almost total security, beginning with the European Coal and Steel Community in 1951. It worked. The core European countries got rich, and then very rich, and then rich enough to make addendums like Greece and Bulgaria rich as well.
There's no cosmic law that says the Europeans have to live in Candyland forever, though, and indeed their time grows short. Today, the grand surplus which bequeathed them peace and prosperity is being strained by three forces. First, there's Russia's return as a great power, which concerns places like Poland and Lithuania very much and places like Italy and Spain not at all. This Russia is profoundly different from the USSR; it is Russia without an ideological threat, Russia of the empire but not the Comintern. At its core, that Russia is a European problem, not an American one. Americans could care about the threat of global communism. They can't care about Ukraine. They will offer assistance, but no Evil Empire means no paying any price. The Europeans will have to figure it out largely on their own, and it will divide them, the way great power Russia always has.
The second problem is that the EU has accomplished the deepening too well, and now faces a backlash of anti-democratic (or at least anti-Union) political forces like Jobbik in Hungary and Syriza in Greece. Which is at least a little ironic, because their success is at least partially due to the EU's own lack of democracy, but there you are. More democratic states will ostracize less democratic ones, who will add themselves to the pro-Russian states, and another set of cracks will appear in Europe's glass floor.
Lastly, and most controversially, the increasing Muslim population of certain European states will have some effect on their external behavior. It will drive both those states where politicians compete for Muslim votes, and those where they are shunned, like Jobbik and France's National Front. Either way, that immigration will hurt Europe's foreign policy unanimity. Perhaps, in time, the Russia-Abbas-Beijing orientation will look more appealing than the American-Netanyahu-Tokyo one. At least for certain states.
Like any artificial construct, European privilege—European exceptionalism, if you want to call it that—will come to an end. The conditions that launched European prosperity after 1945 are eroding, regardless of how long Germany keeps paying Greece. The Greeks are probably wise to play their kabuki dance, paying the IMF with its own money and borrowing while they can, because these days will not last forever. And what comes after, historically speaking, is somewhat bleak.

In 1990, Bath Film Society screened a handful of French films. They were so successful that the society was left with £50 profit. Buoyed by this, Chris Baker approached local businessman and film buff, Philip Raby, sound engineer Alastair Goolden and the three cinemas in Bath at the time, to propose a film festival.
Since then, locations have changed and been added to, eminent industry names have given us their patronage and film distributors have recognised that FilmBath Festival (previously Bath Film Festival) is a great outlet for previews of their upcoming gems.
The success of Bath Film Festival has led to bigger ideas and new initiatives, giving birth to FilmBath in 2017.
Pop-up Screenings show popular films in hard to reach areas around Bath and North East Somerset to low income communities, focusing specifically on families.

Dalit man forced to rub nose in own spit, human rights body seeks report
Bhubaneswar/Kendrapara: The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued notice to the Odisha Government seeking report on the incident where a 32-year-old dalit man was allegedly forced to rub his nose on his own spit in Kendrapara district recently.
Taking suo-motu cognizance of media reports of the incident, the NHRC on Friday issued notice to the State's Chief Secretary Suresh Chandra Mahapatra on the incident and asked him to submit a report within six weeks. The Commission has also sought the details on the status of investigation in connection with the case registered by the police and the status of statutory relief paid to the victims, the NHRC said in its official statement.
"Examining the contents of the news report, the Commission has observed that the issues raised are of a very serious nature and right to dignity of the victims have been grossly violated," the national human rights body said in the statement.
It may be noted here that a Dalit family was allegedly tortured and humiliated in presence of sarpanch of the Tikhiri gram panchayat Chameli Ojha and others for not paying donation of Rs 500 as donation for the renovation of the village temple, a TOI report said.
Not only this, one of the family members was even forced to rub his nose in own spit, as punishment, in full public view at a kangaroo court in Tikhiri village under Marshaghai police station limits of Kendrapara district.
As per the complaint lodged at the police station, two villagers had visited the house of the dalit, Gurucharan Mallick at around 10 pm on April 16 to collect contribution towards the renovation of the village temple. However, an altercation broke out after Mallick claimed that they had already paid the donation amount which made the sarpanch and others angry. They further allegedly abused Mallick and his wife in front of the villagers and also hurled caste abuses at the family, as reported by the Odisha Television (OTV).
An FIR has been registered under various sections, including Sec 143 (punishment for unlawful assembly), 342 (punishment for wrongful restraint), 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), 504 (Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) of the IPC and relevant sections of Schedule Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 for allegedly humiliating the Dalit man in his caste lines and forcing him to rub his nose in his own spit in the village meeting.
P.K. Kanungo, the inspector in-charge (IIC) of Marsaghai police station informed that police are investigating the case and no arrest/s has/have been done so far in connection with the case, added the TOI report.

The Kids Online Safety Act Is a Heavy-Handed Plan to Force Platforms to Spy on Young People
By Jason Kelley
Putting children under surveillance and limiting their access to information doesn't make them safer—in fact, research suggests just the opposite. Unfortunately those tactics are the ones endorsed by the Kids Online Safety Act of 2022 (KOSA), introduced by Sens. Blumenthal and Blackburn. The bill deserves credit for attempting to improve online data privacy for young people, and for attempting to update 1998's Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA). But its plan to require surveillance and censorship of anyone sixteen and under would greatly endanger the rights, and safety, of young people online.
KOSA would require the following:
A new legal duty for platforms to prevent certain harms: KOSA outlines a wide collection of content that platforms can be sued for if young people encounter it, including "promotion of self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, substance abuse, and other matters that pose a risk to physical and mental health of a minor."
Compel platforms to provide data to researchers
An elaborate age-verification system, likely run by a third-party provider
Parental controls, turned on and set to their highest settings, to block or filter a wide array of content
There are numerous concerns with this plan. The parental controls would in effect require a vast number of online platforms to create systems for parents to spy on—and control—the conversations young people are able to have online, and require those systems be turned on by default. It would also likely result in further tracking of all users.
Data collection is a scourge for every internet user, regardless of age.
And in order to avoid liability for causing the listed harms, nearly every online platform would hide or remove huge swaths of content. And because each of the listed areas of concern involves significant gray areas, the platforms will over-censor to attempt to steer clear of the new liability risks.
These requirements would be applied far more broadly than the law KOSA hopes to update, COPPA. Whereas COPPA applies to anyone under thirteen, KOSA would apply to anyone under sixteen—an age group that child rights organizations agree have a greater need for privacy and independence than younger teens and kids. And in contrast to COPPA's age self-verification scheme, KOSA would authorize a federal study of "the most technologically feasible options for developing systems to verify age at the device or operating system level." Age verification systems are troubling—requiring such systems could hand over significant power, and private data, to third-party identity verification companies like Clear or ID.me. Additionally, such a system would likely lead platforms to set up elaborate age-verification systems for everyone, meaning that all users would have to submit personal data.
Lastly, KOSA's incredibly broad definition of a covered platform would include any "commercial software application or electronic service that connects to the internet and that is used, or is reasonably likely to be used, by a minor." That would likely encompass everything from Apple's iMessage and Signal to web browsers, email applications and VPN software, as well as platforms like Facebook and TikTok—platforms with wildly different user bases and uses. It's also unclear how deep into the 'tech stack' such a requirement would reach – web hosts or domain registries likely aren't the intended platforms for KOSA, but depending on interpretation, could be subject to its requirements. And, the bill raises concerns about how providers of end-to-end encrypted messaging platforms like iMessage, Signal, and WhatsApp would interpret their duty to monitor minors' communications, with the potential that companies will simply compromise encryption to avoid litigation.
TEll the SeNATE: Vote NO TO CENSORSHIP AND SURVEILLANCE
Censorship Isn't the Answer
KOSA would force sites to use filters to block content—filters that we've seen, time and time again, fail to properly distinguish"good" speech from "bad" speech. The types of content targeted by KOSA are complex, and often dangerous—but discussing them is not bad by default. It's very hard to differentiate between minors having discussions about these topics in a way that encourages them, as opposed to a way that discourages them. Under this bill, all discussion and viewing of these topics by minors should be blocked.
The law requires platforms to ban the potentially infinite category of "other matters that pose a risk to physical and mental health of a minor.
Research already exists showing bans like these don't work: when Tumblr banned discussions of anorexia, it discovered that the keywords used in pro-anorexia content were the same ones used to discourage anorexia. Other research has shown that bans like these actually make the content easier to find by forcing people to create new keywords to discuss it (for example, "thinspiration" became "thynsperation").
The law also requires platforms to ban the potentially infinite category of "other matters that pose a risk to physical and mental health of a minor." As we've seen in the past, whenever the legality of material is up for interpretation, it is far more likely to be banned outright, leaving huge holes in what information is accessible online. The law would seriously endanger access to information to teenagers, who may want to explore ideas without their parents knowledge or approval. For example, they might have questions about sexual health that they do not feel safe asking their parents about, or they may want to help a friend with an eating disorder or a substance abuse problem. (Research has shown that a large majority of young people have used the internet for health-related research.)
KOSA would allow individual state attorneys general to bring actions against platforms when the state's residents are "threatened or adversely affected by the engagement of any person in a practice that violates this Act." This leaves it up to individual state attorneys general to decide what topics pose a risk to the physical and mental health of a minor. A co-author of this bill, Sen. Blackburn of Tennessee, has referred to education about race discrimination as "dangerous for kids." Many states have agreed, and recently moved to limit public education about the history of race, gender, and sexuality discrimination.
Recently, Texas' governor directed the state's Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate gender affirming care as child abuse. KOSA would empower the Texas attorney general to define material that is harmful to children, and the current position of the state would include resources for trans youth. This would allow the state to force online services to remove and block access to that material everywhere—not only Texas. That's not to mention the frequent conflation by tech platforms of LGBTQ content with dangerous "sexually explicit" material. KOSA could result in loss of access to information that a vast majority of people would agree is not dangerous, but is under political attack.
Surveillance Isn't the Answer
Some legitimate concerns are driving KOSA. Data collection is a scourge for every internet user, regardless of age. Invasive tracking of young people by online platforms is particularly pernicious—EFF has long pushed back against remote proctoring, for example.
But the answer to our lack of privacy isn't more tracking. Despite the growing ubiquity of technology to make it easy, surveillance of young people is actually bad for them, even in the healthiest household, and is not a solution to helping young people navigate the internet. Parents have an interest in deciding what their children can view online, but no one could argue that this interest is the same if a child is five or fifteen. KOSA would put all children under sixteen in the same group, and require that specific types of content be hidden from them, and that other content be tracked and logged by parental tools. This would force platforms to more closely watch what all users do.
KOSA's parental controls would give parents, by default, access to monitor and control a young person's online use. While a tool like Apple's Screen Time allows parents to restrict access to certain apps, or limit their usage to certain times, platforms would need to do much more under KOSA. They would have to offer parents the ability to modify the results of any algorithmic recommendation system, "including the right to opt-out or down-rank types or categories of recommendations," effectively deciding for young people what they see – or don't see – online. It would also give parents the ability to delete their child's account entirely if they're unhappy with their use of the platform.
The answer to our lack of privacy isn't more tracking.
The bill tackles algorithmic systems by requiring that platforms provide "an overview of how algorithmic recommendation systems are used …to provide information to users of the platform who are minors, including how such systems use personal data belonging to minors." Transparency about how a platform's algorithms work, and tools to allow users to open up and create their own feeds, are critical for wider understanding of algorithmic curation, the kind of content it can incentivize, and the consequences it can have. EFF has also supported giving users more control over the content they see online. But KOSA requires that parents be able to opt-out or down-rank types or categories of recommendations, without the consent or knowledge of the user, including teenage users.
Lastly, under KOSA, platforms would be required to prevent patterns of use that indicate addiction, and to offer parents the ability to limit features that "increase, sustain, or extend use of the covered platform by a minor, such as automatic playing of media, rewards for time spent on the platform, and notifications." While minimizing dark patterns that can trick users into giving up personal information is a laudable goal, determining what features "cause addiction" is highly fraught. If a sixteen year-old spends three hours a day on Discord working through schoolwork or discussing music with their friends, would that qualify as "addictive" behavior? KOSA would likely cover features as different as Netflix's auto-playing of episodes and iMessage's new message notifications. Putting these features together under the heading of "addictive" misunderstands which dark patterns actually harm users, including young people.
EFF has long supported comprehensive data privacy legislation for all users. But the Kids Online Safety Act would not protect the privacy of children or adults. It is a heavy-handed plan to force technology companies to spy on young people and stop them from accessing content that is "not in their best interest," as defined by the government, and interpreted by tech platforms.

Running a business here in Texas also means running the AC all summer long. It gets pretty hot here, so it's no surprise that the AC is always on. This unfortunately tends to lead to high energy bills, even if you have low business electricity rates. A slippery slope concerning air conditioners in your business is that it can affect future business electricity rates in Texas down the line.
Businesses generally will get custom tailored quotes for energy rates. These quotes are based on the amount of energy you're using on a monthly basis. In order to get the most out of your energy rates and your electricity plan, conserving energy is a must. The air conditioner is a very good place to start.
Getting a tune-up for your AC just before summer will improve its efficiency, but there are many other steps you can take to make it more efficient and save your business money. There are four major ways to improve AC efficiency.
Keep all windows and any doors that lead outside shut while the AC is on. Cool air will always try to escape outside during the summer, and keeping it in is paramount to energy savings. Besides, if the office doesn't get cooler but the AC keeps running, it could freeze over, causing extensive damage.
You may not think so, but your electronics affect how effective your AC is. While computers, monitors, and other devices are running, they are generating heat. Computer CPUs and server racks generate a lot of heat that your AC tries to compensate for. Downsizing these units to only the necessities and shutting off any that are not in use will directly save you energy and will also reduce the load on your AC, saving even more energy.
There's no point in cooling an empty office. When everyone goes home for the day, shut off the AC. If you have a programmable thermostat, set it up to automatically adjust the temperature just before the first person arrives to work and just after the last person leaves. If your office follows a regular daily schedule, this will keep the office comfortable while still keeping the AC off the whole time it's unoccupied, which will save a lot of energy.
In addition to getting a tune-up for your AC before summer, get another one in the fall just before winter. The winter tune-up is for the heating portion of your HVAC and will save money over the colder months. You should also change the air filter every one to three months as needed. Clogged filters reduce airflow, which makes the AC work harder.
Following these tips will help you reduce your business electricity bill each month and save your business money. You can save even more money by getting a new custom quote for business electricity rates in Texas through Shop Texas Electricity. We'll search through several energy providers for you and present you with a quote that will save your business even more.


Grand Care Pharmacy specializes in compounding and natural hormone replacement.
Hormone Replacement Therapy is most often used in peri-menopause and menopause. Typical symptoms may include hot flashes, vaginal dryness, low libido, weight gain, irritability, moodiness and sleep disturbances. Compounding allows women to use bio-identical hormones rather than synthetic ones. Bio-identical hormones are plant-derived (instead of chemically derived) and biologically identical to those naturally occurring in women.
To test hormone levels, we use ZRT laboratory's saliva tests. You can watch the below video to see how easy a collection is.

Day 30 – Skating on Thin Ice, No I Mean MUD!
Today we went skating on Sleeping Giant, I grew up ice skating in New England, however mud skating is an entirely new sport to me.
We made a quick breakfast accompanied by a morning rainbow before heading out.
Today we hiked the east side of Sleeping Giant. 6 years ago we did the other trail up Sleeping Giant. It was humid today going up, we didn't have any rain until we hit the picnic shelter.
I remained at the picnic area while Mike continued up on Sleeping Giant's face. While I sat, I had sun on one side and the other side of the mountain was rain. Mike did get caught in a downpour, with the rain going sideways at one point.
After Mike returned from hanging out on the giant's face, we started our descent. The rains came and went as we went down. At times we were skating on the mud going down. Would have loved to have photos of it, but it just wasn't safe to do that. At one point, Mike had to plant himself as I skated down and act as stop for me. I laughed a lot of the way down, stomping and skating on/in the mud. Was very happy to have my hiking pole with me, it helped!
At the car, we cleaned up with jugs of water and Action Wipes, best things to clean up with.
Mike was thoughtful enough to bring fresh fruit for our after hike snack. Going downhill in the mud is tiring and this natural sugar boost helped restore some energy.
We had to run to Costco for gas and some mac nuts. Then we went to lunch at Street Burger again. This time we shared a burger and a salad.
We came home and were exhausted. We cleaned off shoes/socks and had to run a load of laundry after that hike. While we were preparing dinner we got the neighborly notification that Jason had fresh caught ahi. Off Mike went to purchase 2 and 1/2 lbs of fresh ahi. Can't wait for Wednesday's dinner.
Sunset wasn't as dramatic as last night, but still to watch sunset on the beach is a treat and tonight I had friend, Grady watch with me.

Q: vuejs content rendering only after the first scroll (with axios) My (vuejs) homepage contains the following:
template:

{{ strings.home_headline }}

scripts:
data() {
    return {
      strings: []
    };
},
methods: {
    fetchData: function(){
      var self = this;

      // get translatable strings
      axios
        .get(MY_API_URL, {
          headers: { "X-Locale": self.locale }
        })
        .then(function(data) {
          self.strings = data.data;

          // This console works and outputs the right content;
          console.log("strings: ", self.strings);
          // outputs the text that should come in the H3
          console.log(strings.home_headline)
        })
        .catch(function(error) {
          console.log("Error", error);
        });
    }
},
created() {
    this.fetchData();
}

the console.log works but the template h3 is empty, UNTIL the first pixels scrolled, then everything is filled in with the text. what am i doing wrong here?

A: Switching your member from array to object
return {
  // you need the fields here as well - an "empty" prepared object
  strings: {
    home_headline: "", // more fields go here
  }
};

and changing the lifecylcle-hook you are using should fix your problem:
async mounted() {
    await this.fetchData();
}

var app = new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  data() {
    return {
      strings: { home_headline: ""}
    };
  },
  methods: {
    fetchData: function() {
      self = this;
      //will lead to error
      axios
        .get("error", {
          headers: {
            "X-Locale": self.locale
          }
        })
        .then(function(data) {
          self.strings.home_headline = "TATü";
        })
        .catch(function(error) {
          self.strings.home_headline = "TATö";
        });
    }
  },
  async mounted() {
    await this.fetchData();
  },
})

{{ strings.home_headline }}

For vue to enable the change-update you need to specify the fields on the object already.
Regarding the lifecycle hooks: in

created, templates and Virtual DOM have not yet been mounted or rendered.
(https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/vuejs-component-lifecycle#creation-(initialization))

A: can you do this v-if="loading" in your <template>?
<template>

    {{ strings }}

<template>

your script
data() {
  return {
    loading: false,
    strings: [],
  };
},
created() {
  this.fetchData();
},
methods: {
  fetchData() {
    const self = this;
    self.loading = true;

    // get translatable strings
    axios
      .get(MY_API_URL, {
        headers: { 'X-Locale': self.locale },
      })
      .then((data) => {
        self.strings = data.data;
        self.loading = true;
      })
      .catch((error) => {
        console.log('Error', error);
      });
  },

Latin American Indigenous Ministries is a non-profit organization that provides assistance to Native Latin American leaders, equipping them with the tools for church growth, project support and community development that assists in improving the living standard and evangelical growth of indigenous communities.
To build a better future centered on God and community.
The organization was formed in 1972 as the Totonac Bible Center, Inc. At that time, its primary goal was to support the work of Manuel Arenas, the gifted Totonac Indian who was the principal translation assistant for Herman Aschmann in his early translation efforts among the Highland Totonac people of Mexico.
After having gained an excellent education in the United States and Germany, Manuel determined to establish a school among his own people. The Centro Cultural Pro-Totonaco in La Union, Puebla, is a witness to his vision. Over the years, Manuel tried in various ways to expand his vision to all the tribal groups of Mexico. He organized three different consultations of Christian leaders from other tribes. He also opened his school to students from other tribes. After Manuel's death in 1992, Dr. Dale Kietzman became president of the Totonac Bible Center board in the United States. Increasingly, the support activity focused on other tribes and countries. In 1996 the Board voted to change the name of the organization to Latin American Indigenous Ministries (LAIM).
Latin American Indigenous Ministries was organized and designed to provide a networking focus for organizations initiated and led by Native Americans in Latin American. LAIM encourages and assists native leaders to evangelize and disciple their own communities, as well as helps them to improve their standard of living and overcome the barriers that have held back their personal growth and revitalization of their community. LAIM provides the native leadership with opportunities for spiritual training and growth, project support, consultant help and technical assistance. We will represent these Latin American native ministries before potential supporters, funders and resources in the United States.


Define a class called fractions i.e. it is a class of numbers of the form: a/b where a and b are longs and where b can not be 0. Require that each fraction as soon as it enters the program is in reduced format. i.e. the greatest common divisor of a and b must be 1 after entry into the program. Overload the insertion and extraction operators: << and >> on the class objects. Overload the operators: +, -, * and / on the objects of fractions. Make the definition of the class fractions and their operations as robust as possible by using exception theory so that no fractions are permitted that would have the value of b equal to 0.


In response to the input received on the 2016 proposed modernization of the intercommunity bus regime, the province has made a decision on December 1, 2017 and is implementing a two part approach to improving intercommunity bus service across Ontario that will connect communities and meet the travel needs of Ontarians.
Improve the provision of intercommunity bus service in northern Ontario by leveraging the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission (ONTC) as a service provider to increase bus service in northeastern Ontario and introduce bus service in northwestern Ontario in collaboration with existing private carriers.
Establish a new five year Community Transportation Grant program to support the provision of critical long distance intercommunity bus service led by municipalities in underserved or unserved areas of the province.
Public Consultation on the proposal for this decision was provided for 69 Days, from June 23, 2016 to August 31, 2016.
As a result of public consultation on the proposal, the Ministry received a total of 98 comments: 72 comments were received in writing and 26 were received online.
The comments submitted in response to this proposal have been fully considered and reviewed. Many of the suggestions and recommendations received in writing and in person during the outreach sessions have helped to shape the province's plan to improve intercommunity bus service in northern Ontario and develop the a long distance component of the province-wide Community Transportation Grant program.
While the 2016 proposal requested input on options to remove market entry controls for the intercommunity bus industry, the majority of comments received through consultation and engagement focused on the availability of services and service levels across the province, rather than the status of the regulatory regime.
•Comments noted that controlling participation in the market does not provide innovation and does not deliver what users need.
• They noted that removing market entry controls could enable service providers and public transit agencies to work collaboratively to find solutions for transportation issues currently faced by unserved and underserved areas.
• Deregulation could also enable the introduction of alternative transportation methods, which may cater to needs of different submarkets.
• However, several comments also noted that deregulation does not solve the main issue of service gaps in rural and northern areas.
• Under deregulation, ridership would be the only metric for adding and or removing service. In such an environment, rural communities may often be the first to lose service.
• Some comments also noted that other jurisdictions have experienced a significant loss in service for smaller rural and remote communities post deregulation.
• Some comments stated that deregulation could disproportionately disadvantage seniors, students, indigenous people and communities and those with pronounced healthcare needs living outside of urban areas.
• Intercommunity bus services often provide access linking Indigenous communities to crucial services such as medical appointments, employment opportunities, education, housing and emergency shelters, mental health and addictions treatment.
• Comments noted that there is an increasing population of seniors living in Ontario, particularly in rural areas and that transportation services should respond to the needs of these residents.
• Some comments suggested that the government include consideration for on demand transportation services for rural areas where a more regularly scheduled service isn't viable.
• Several comments called for a basic level of affordable intercommunity bus service across the province.
• Provincial funding is needed to service underserved and unserved communities in northern, rural and remote locations.
• There is no incentive to the private sector to provide service to many low-density communities in rural and northern Ontario, this pointing to a need for government controls and support to fill in the gaps.
• With respect to rural connectivity, comments stated that rural communities need to be connected to major centres.
• In many remote communities buses are vital for the transportation of medical, commercial and residential parcels.
• Comments noted that more service is needed that aligns with customer demands, and that buses should link and complement existing transportation service.
• A general theme among comments provided was that public transportation in Ontario that connects communities at a regional level is a necessity and investments should be made to enhance regional public transportation networks while also providing adequate funding for local partners.
