Where does " my hotel was noisy at 2:00 p.m. when I was trying to take a nap" rank alongside " I'm doing an outdoor festival and can smell cooked meat" on the list of Morrissey cancellation excuses

I know that there are some Canadian baseball fans who are upset about this, and see it as further erasure of the MontrΓ©al Expos.

But remember that when Dawson reached free agency in 1987, the Expos offered him a PAY CUT, and actively colluded with other teams against him.

Other past stars in today's NBA

Wilt would be distracted by OF models but so are a bunch of current players so not real effect on his career

Larry Bird would be out of the league after a courtside mic picked up his "trash talk" at black players

Magic would be on PREP and have a 20 year career

Just in case people know, Kobe Bryant's defense lawyers are responsible for inventing the "this rape victim only accused him so she could become famous" defense, which has continued to plague our society in the decades since. Plus, you know, he raped somebody. Fuck Kobe.

The Venn diagram of "people who live close enough to Billy Bishop to prefer it to Pearson" and "people who don't live close enough to Billy Bishop to be bothered by the noise of jets" is a very, very small set of people.

Dougie isn't doing this for the votes

Totally fine with it. It helps with readability on the timing tower and doesn't impact anything in the course of understanding a race.

I do prefer the extra decimals in qualifying

I especially like this in KPS. A friend read it at the same time and when we talked about the book, we each had a VERY different mental image of Jamie

"When the Canadian government took over the passenger rail system and created VIA Rail in 1978, it made a terrible deal with the railways; they are still fighting over it. CN controls the tracks and tells VIA when and where it can go. It’s no way to run a railroad"

Every time I take my kid to check out a new park, I am astonished by how great the playgrounds are. Some look like the one pictured below, but most have much cooler stuff than we ever had as kids. So much online freak grievance is just β€œyou need to go outside and participate in actual society”

Between this and Paikin's column it's quite clear Tory is trying to get his columnist pals to clear a path for him to re-enter the race, and it's frankly disgusting.

He stepped down because HE HIMSELF said the affair was an unforgivable breach of the public trust! That's still the case!

1010 & TVO framed Tory misconduct as an affair. FTR he had a secret romance with a junior staffer who reported to him. He helped get her a job at Rogers-owned MLSE in a role dealing with him & his office on issues involving public funds. He then voted at city council on an issue she handled at MLSE

No no no his secret clone ran away and then had sex

I think a lot of people who aren't super versed in the political impassinations just assume that since JT is a legacy prime minister he was a liberal insider from day one

No one should take Steve Paikin seriously ever again. This is full of half truths, ignoring both the reality of Tory's entire career and the seriousness of having an affair with a staffer

Carney *explicitly campaigned* on increased funding for the CBC. Just a straight up lie.

The conservative machine is desperate for a mayoral candidate that isn't bradbrad or Mikey Ford.

And no one wants the job because taxes have already been cut to the bone and there's no other solution to fixing the city.

It's also my understanding that he did this before in Pittsburgh? So I assumed after all the fallout he would just move on to somewhere else and just start all over again again.

But no he found somewhere where he could live and work with zero accountability
