NAFO from the get-go. Also: pensive infrastructure. Landlord to largest colony of Wild Boars in Eastern Canada. Foe of lazy metonymy (as in "Ottawa" for federal government).

And that's just one outlet. There are many providing serious, solid reporting and analysis on what they recognize as existential threats to democracy.
Let's hope enough people read and listen.

And its opinion writers, in general, are sharply critical of Trump and the MAGA machine. Sure, there will always be views and approaches to disagree with in a daily offering of multiple voices. But in overall content and tone, the NYT is hardly an example of false balance. ///

Certainly Fox and its imitators will never be accused of "both-siding." For much other media, however, I fear applying such a label is gratuitous. The NYT is accused of this regularly, for example, but I read it daily and don't see its news content striving for any false balance. ///

As opposed to being a sore winner?

Amazing that no other coach in the history of the NHL has ever tried this!

It was a marginal call. Green definitely deserved a penalty, however, for being the first NHL coach to ever get vocal about a call. Everyone knows the only acceptible protest is to wave a white towel on a stick.

Seeing these "look at me!" jerks at more and more games.

When I am prime minister, they're going to be sorry.

I am, under my "surface name." Hoping it will evolve into an alternative to Facebook, which is becoming as wretched as former-Twitter.

Wild that someone might disagree with your take? I rest my case.

More like kinda nervous laughter to not be disrespectful to their president.

He denies that he was the one who said it. Say what you like about him, but I think he's an honest guy.

Today we remember the Battle of Billings Bridge and salute the brave citizen volunteers who stood up to the honking, harassing occupiers.

Good to hear. This has been a cause of mine since X was Twitter.

So far, I'm losing.

Look man, if you want to use "Ottawa" as a metonym for "the Federal Government of Canada" sure whatever.

But you can't *also* use it to mean "the municipal government of Ottawa"

Pick one please.
