I remember taking a college class where the professor said before the world wars if you asked Americans what made their country unique they would usually talk about freedom, liberty, or the constitution, whereas Germans were likely to say “we have a really good military.”

The defining characteristic of Doug Ford, besides his unending obsession with Toronto and its waterfront, is his systematic overriding of transparency and meaningful consultation. He continually imposes his will on communities and people without evidence or input. He is a threat to democracy.

Lots of interesting nuance in this thread. Keep it up, and I’ll probably decide to buy your book when it comes out.

You may have already seen this. I was walking on Sackville Street in Toronto yesterday and came upon it.
An event on co-housing in Toronto Parkdale on Saturday if you're interested in exploring this model of ownership.

Listening in to the status conference in Anthropic v. Department of War in NDCal. (Yes, Department of War is the name on the docket.) May be uneventful, but will post here if there’s anything of interest!
Sudden nostalgia for that time Iraq dumped a bunch of mines into the Persian Gulf at Umm Qasr and currents deposited them on the beaches of Kuwait. We had deployed the mine-finding dolphins to the Gulf and everything. Some weeks later, Jeffe the dolphin took off with a local girlfriend.
I am not impoverished but I also have only used cards to pay for groceries for more than a decade. As a retired lawyer, when I hear someone make a broad generalization which they defend with 1 anecdote (probably made up), I call “Bullshit!”.
We’re back at this shit again.
Fuck off.
Once again, we see the abject stupidity at work here.
Trump was gloating about destroying Iran’s navy.
Now he wants any mines removed (which he says aren’t there).
But removing mines takes minesweepers. Which are naval vessels.
As a retired lawyer who reads a lot of these live-posts of hearings, you did a very good job. Like the judge, I have questions, but not because of anything you missed. Well done!
The key strategic advantage of Operation Epstein Fury
‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’
‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’
‘Hello’ is not related to either.
Goodbye.
Do authors usually get a fee when they agree to participate in a book group discussing their book, or do they just chalk it up to promotion? (I assume most are now zoom, with no travel required.)
My latest for @thestar.com. Increasing surveillance and extending police powers doesn’t solve homelessness or drug use on transit — it merely opens up the broader public to arbitrary punishment, including the potential for jail time and $10,000 fines. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
Anybody else hate that it is apparently news that the U.S. government WILL give someone due process.
Black-and-white photograph of Jack Nesbit and Jim Egan sitting side by side on a couch in a living room. Jack Nesbit, on the left, wears a plaid shirt and light-colored jeans with a belt and rests his left arm along the back of the couch while holding a small dark dog on his lap. Jim Egan, on the right, wears a light sweater and dark pants and holds a small light-colored dog against his chest, with another small dark dog resting across his lap. Both men face the camera. Shelving, plants, and household furnishings are visible in the background.
On this day in 2000, Jim Egan died. His court challenge, Egan v. Canada, led the Supreme Court to rule sexual orientation is a protected ground of discrimination in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Given that this was done without the benefit of sweeping, legitimately one of the best curling shots ever.
Kinetic war versus trade war: bombs versus blackmail.
Thanks.
You are right to despise them.

An interesting post, thread and comments. A profound difference between Canadians and Americans— how we view our neighbours and fellow citizens.
I have a pretty good imagination, but I am having difficulty conjuring up an image of Trump and Melania cooking together in the kitchen.
“The Battle of New Orleans” by Johnny Horton. I was 7, my sister was 9, and she was buying a record (single) for her new record player. I put up such a fuss my mom said I could get one too. This was on the radio a lot and was the only one I could think of. I think “North to Alaska” was the B-Side.
