There are valid criticisms of Canada Blood Services, but I know that if I needed a transfusion, I'd take the blood. So I donate blood too.

If you are able to give blood, consider booking an appointment.

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

I am really interested in hearing the arguments for why it's a bad idea to expand Billy Bishop to allow jets to land there.

It sure seems like there's a lot of reflexive NIMBYism and "I don't like Doug Ford doing heavy-handed things" at play in the reaction.

You gotta wonder how Therme feels, with that spa *right* in the flight path of the Billy Bishop airport.

This is the fifth Wiarton Willie.

The original Wiarton Willie died in 1999.

The second Wiarton Willie is accused of killing his two children (Wee Willies.)

This is just lazy Iraq re-runs.

You still believe in the invincibility of the American military?

Because in 2026 that's marginal, right?

The cool thing about gas prices is that they tend to drop just as fast as they shoot up, so Trump will probably be fine.

Toronto Public Library snags β€˜transformational’ $2.7M Google AI grant The funding will support Toronto residents to learn about artificial intelligence through an online course, events and access to new tech tools at library branches

fwiw, after seeing this I am really wondering if Meta or Google or somebody wrote a cheque to the Calgary Public Library too. www.torontotoday.ca/local/arts-c...

Calgary Public Library announces residency for an artist who uses AI. Not everyone is on board | CBC News The library is offering a 10-week community engagement residency, to be awarded to one artist β€œin any discipline who [uses] AI ethically as a collaborative partner in their creative process,” the CPL ...

The headline here is kinda ambiguous. When I first read it, I thought they announced a new artist in residence, and it was someone who has used AI in their art.

Nope! They are soliciting applications for an artist residency, and specify that the candidate *must* use AI.

It's 2004. The US is mired in a pointless war in the Middle East. There's a new Nintendo handheld. Taking Back Sunday is headlining the Warped Tour.
