Throw it (the pasta, not the toaster!) at the wall β€” if it sticks it’s done! πŸ€ͺ

This is nuts Calgary!
"The proposed new community of "Providence" is being pitched to Calgary City Council as "a logical choice for sensible growth" despite over half a billion dollars in unfunded capital infrastructure investments required from taxpayers"

We’re told that if each individual takes a small step & makes little lifestyle changes, we can collectively make a difference & improve our world. 🌎

Then these asshats... 😑

Up to 16 Liberals considering support for NDP's arms-control legislation | CBC News When the NDP's arms-control bill that seeks to end largely permit-free Canadian military exports to the U.S. is put to a vote on Wednesday, it could garner the support of more than a dozen Liberal MPs...

maybe… or not?
β€œThe legislation would impose export controls on arms and munitions that are sent to the U.S., similarly to mechanisms that exist for most other countries.β€œ

A good thing to remember every time you’re thinking about supporting US businesses or tourism, Canada.

Canada will β€˜never participate’ in Iran offensive, Carney says Prime Minister Mark Carney told MPs in the House of Commons Tuesday that Canada is not involved in the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and β€œwill never participate in it.”

Good!

No 'warm handover' to adulthood For kids in the child welfare system, the tran- sition to adulthood means the supports around them start to be pulled back at a time when their peers might still be living at home or relying heavily on parental support.

Agreed β€” it’s a tragedy.

Toronto police have identified a man accused of causing a fatal collision in North York last week, after a light pole was struck
and fell on a pedestrian. Police said on Mar. 6, just before 6:45 p.m., a 19-year-old woman was driving a Volk- swagen Tiguan eastbound on Steeles
Avenue West at the same time a male dri- ving an Acura MDX was travelling west-
bound on the same street. The Volkswagen attempted to make a left turn at Gerry Fitzgerald Drive, police said, when the Acura allegedly "disobeyed a traf- fic signal," causing a collision in the inter-
section.

Ryan is 18 and homeless in Toronto. As with 1 in 10 homeless people in the city, he went through the child welfare system first β€” Toronto Star Roughly 10 per cent of Toronto's homeless population, as of a 2024 street needs assessment, spent time as children in foster care or group homes.

πŸ˜” πŸ’”
”Across Toronto, roughly one in ten people who've wound up homeless were, at one point in their childhoods, in foster care or group homes. For some, that was an episodic experience: others aged straight out of child welfare into homelessness.”

Probably right, but remember that BigBaby refused to even engage with Trudeau? πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Though I’ll maintain that PM Carney does need to be very clear that Canada will NOT get involved in this war β€” so far, he has been noncommittal.

PM Carney’s official statements have been tepid β€” likely intentionally, since he still needs to tread carefully with the BigBaby. πŸ˜‘

β€œIt’s still not clear about where Canada stands on the fundamental issue of the rule of law, which says aggression is an international crime.”
