I find this so plausible that it genuinely makes my stomach hurt. There are no jokes to make about it.

The Canadian Coast Guard fired captain Lou Callaghan "on the grounds he 'willfully' ignored a distress call about a sinking boat in cold and choppy P.E.I. waters, according to a recently posted federal labour board decision."
My fav claim about the federal spending power is that it lets feds intrude on provincial areas of jurisdiction by "abusing their power of taxation"... as if provinces don't have taxation powers.
Reality: provinces keep their taxes low on the backs of their demands for federal money!

BREAKING:
WASHINGTON (AP) β About 140 US troops have been wounded in the Iran war, including 8 severely and 108 who returned to duty, Pentagon says.
man if weβre asking the Israelis to deescalate
Iβm working with Governor Gretchen Whitmer on trying to save The Great Lakes from the rather violent and destructive Asian Carp, which is rapidly taking over Lake Michigan, and all of the beautiful surrounds. Iβll be asking other Governors to join into this fight, including those of Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, New York and, of course, the future Governor of Canada, Mark Carney, who I know will be happy to contribute to this worthy cause. Separately, I am also working to save The Great Salt Lake, in Utah, which, in a short period of time, if nothing is done, will have no water. This is on top of everything else I am doing. Only βTRUMPβ CAN DO IT! President DONALD J. TRUMP
sir the president is bitching about "Governor Carney" again
This is just astonishingly great reporting.
All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.
And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

"The Department of National Defence says it has safeguards in place to prevent intelligence from being shared with elements of the U.S. military that have carried out numerous lethal strikes on small boats in the Caribbean."
Presumably b/c it views the strikes as illegal.

He's the regional median voters' mayor [derogatory]
As I've said, I'm broadly agnostic on any given Forum outcome, but "trust me bro, there will be savings if we defer" is *insane* as a plan.
I think he's alienating people proportionate to how close to downtown their district is, tbh.
We have a budget
*tears*
That's my councillor.
*awkwardly puts on lawyer wig*
Objection!
The municipality actually does have to turn a profit. We can call it a surplus if we want, but that surplus aboce opex is where our capital projects come from.
We aren't and shouldn't seek to maximize profits, but we do need a surplus.
This could be your dream job!

Keep an eye out for anti-ebike bills. We have one coming up in California that would require me to register my bike at the DMV.
It's ignorant (written by somone who wants to conflate ebikes and emotos) and a real blow to climate, economic, and mobility justice.

TORONTO/WASHINGTON, March 10 (Reuters) - Shots were fired at the U.S. consulate in Toronto early on Tuesday but no one was injured, police said, in what Canada's public safety
minister described as an unacceptable incident.

This is really worth your time.
St-Amand is up, he's saying that it's hard to compare an actual plan for the forum that they have in front of them with a pie in the sky pitch from the mayor with no details.
Let's not be crazy here.
I think there's just no longer fiscal runway for magical thinking.
She's had us living off credit card debt and we don't have any more.
