Sarifs are, in fact, for ease of reading, but point well taken. The justifications are wrong and the people making them are petty assholes.

It's true, seifs are for ease of reading ... but so is Calibri. However, I believe Calibri was created for ease of reading on screens, while this article talks about documents on letterhead. So it's possible the choice of Calibri was misguided to begin with. Furthermore, according to the article, the number of “accessibility-based document remediation cases” – which I take to mean instances where somebody requests a document be reformatted for accessibility reasons – has not declined. So he's saying that, while this is a purely subjective aesthetic choice, the original change to Calibri never helped anything anyway.

Comment Re:Can BC can diesel generators? (Score 3, Informative) 54

BC Hydro does use diesel generators in a few locations such as on Haida Gwaii. They also have backup diesel in locations at the end of the line, like Prince Rupert.

Also, BC does not have any nuclear generation.

BC Hydro currently imports a lot of power from Washington as it has insufficient generating capacity from installed hydro.
