This is outrageous. Dozens of children are dead and no doubt there will be so many more. You have lost your moral compass.

A stop “near” Kingston would bring no benefits at all to Kingston. We would still be dependent on Viarail services which, if anything, would be reduced. What benefits are you thinking of, Mark?

Neither of the suggested routes includes a stop in Kingston

Neither route will be good for Kingston. It would reduce the number of VIA trains that we are using now. And the idea of driving an hour to catch a high-speed train is absurd. Only if it stops at Kingston’s Via station will it help Kingston residents.

We need a stop *in Kingston, not near Kingston. If you can’t take a short cab or local bus ride to the station, it may as well just go to Peterborough

Canadian government officials, what are you still doing on X in 2026? The platform's own chatbot started posting sexualized material of children and other people who couldn't consent. With no moral bottom in sight, it's well past time our officials found other ways to c...

It's well past time for Canadian government officials to get off of X, @jameswsthomson.com writes. This latest — disgusting — incident is just one more reason.

“We want citizens to know we need to be worried about our homeless. We need to accept we have 633 homeless and only 120 shelter spaces and it’s time we accept that as a city and that as citizens we get outraged by that before we worry about pickleball.”

Libraries say budget proposal to end shipping program would be 'catastrophic | CBC News Libraries across Canada say a proposed change in the federal budget bill would end their ability to ship books at reduced rates, threatening interlibrary loan programs and possibly forcing the closure...

Another poison pill buried in Mark Carney’s budget: a repeal of a reduced postage rates for books and shipments between libraries.

Libraries across the country are sounding the alarm for what it would mean for the viability of another essential public institution.

Universal basic income would make our communities a lot safer than hiring more police. Building affordable housing for everyone would be a lot more useful than 1000 more police.

Why are you supporting 20th century energy? Repairing the environment, not further destroying it, is what we need: Solar power, wind power—not pipelines.

Time for your government to address the use of the notwithstanding clause. Today would be a good day to start

Tax money for pipelines. Unbelievable.

At the end of the day I'm not sure how much difference it makes. But it is striking to put out a budget that axes a luxury tax on yachts and adds a co-pay for refugee claimants accessing drugs and dental care.

Did you see the online chatter this week about how No Kings is a useless movement? That to build something effective takes different tactics? Or that it was the largest, single-day protest in the history of the US?

Jesus Christ.

A standing ovation — from Liberals too — for Charlie Kirk in the Canadian House of Commons.

You can (and should) oppose political violence without doing all this, you know.

This is really, really bad.

Do you really need to rub elbows with Nazis to know thy enemy? Do people not see that these are fascist grifters who created an authoritarian hellhole and are now selling how-to advice to the opposition?

Nothing about this is defensible.

What about climate change? Fossil fuel projects will doom us. A strong Canada would include affordable housing, basic income, highspeed rail, renewable energy projects.
