Very on brand for Ford - but he can't do anything without the feds.
And the federal Liberals have much more to lose than the Ontario PCs by ignoring Toronto's desires.
Indeed, there's a Liberal running in a very #NoJetsTO riding right now in a by-election in that could easily become a referendum.
1. Great headline.
2. "Chalamet’s comments are the more surprising because both his mother and grandmother were both professional dancers"...
No, that's where's he's speaking from. He grew up in a rent-subsidized artists' building. The precariousness of arts work is deep in him and his comments.

The Glenn Gould Prize, like its partner in delusions of grandeur the Griffin Poetry Prize, is such an internationally respected award that... it only gets covered by Canadian media.
So ludicrous: "Just as the Nobel Prize has come to represent a universal symbol of excellence and achievement..., The Glenn Gould Prize stands among the preeminent accolades conferred upon those working in the arts, communications, technology and humanitarian pursuits." www.glenngould.ca/the-prize/
What a waste of time, energy and money the Glenn Gould Prize is. www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/musi...
Conservatives and Bloc right to hammer Carney for not showing up for take-note debate on Iran. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...
Artificial intelligence will never be able to match the natural stupidity of human writing.
There was a time when the Times would not let human writers start sentences with “but”.
But, in this intro, the paper of record allows it to be used to start sentences twice and, in both cases, in rhetorically reprehensible ways.
Never trust a screengrab with no link to source.
Barbecue in the backyard next to a pile of snow. What a beautiful day in Toronto.
It's interesting how the Canadian broadcaster-to-politician pipeline is so very rarely truly successful.
Asking questions with seeming authority is a different skill set, I think, to selling an audience on a party or a platform or yourself.
I'm talking about your Flintstones joke!
Haha... I see what you did there.
We're closer to 2050 than 2000 now!
*tfdr: too french, didn't read
tfdr*: Was Persepolis broadcast a signal of support for strikes? Do French schools favour book/film to illuminate Iranian society or promote Republican value of "laïcité"? Are there reasonable critiques of Satrapi - or do folks just grow up to resent books/films they had to read/watch in school?
This bleet inspired by reading about renewed literary debate in France about Persepolis after France 4 decided to change its schedule to air the film over the weekend "en raison de l’actualité".
The 2007 movie has practically become a set text in French schools. actualitte.com/article/1297...
(In the original French... The publication of the first volume in English is about equidistant between now and the Iranian Revolution.)
The Iranian Revolution and the publication of first volume of Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis were closer together in time than the publication of the first volume of Persepolis and now.
This might be one of the greatest shots that I have ever seen.
Peter Gelb has been courting Saudi Arabia and Elon Musk for money?
The Met is lucky he struck out. Definitely sounds like time for new leadership.
It was wrong and harmful - and quite possibly unlawful - to cut already approved NEH grants because Donald Trump hates "DEI."
But the way DOGE went about doing it was even dumber than you probably imagined.
They fed abstracts into ChatGPT and demanded an answer in fewer than 120 characters.

Once again a nightmare with kids, especially those with brains that are Very Particular About Exact Routines.
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

I need someone to decode the over-60 sexual ethics exemplified by Paikin wanting to make clear Tory's affair was not a "lurid fling" and DiManno pointing out it is not a "casual infidelity" though.
To be clear, I don't care a whit - but why is "he has a bona fide mistress" seen as better?
DiManno and Paikin seem to be trying to memory-hole this: "Former Toronto mayor John Tory broke ethics rules in his affair with a subordinate and by voting on a council matter [World Cup] that related to her, the city’s Integrity Commissioner has found."
www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...
I’m sorry, but it is just plain stupid to describe bringing up something Tory himself thought was such a big error in judgment that he *resigned* as “dirty tactics” if he ran for mayor again.
We’re about to spend millions to host the World Cup the ethics commissioner said he shouldn’t have voted on!
