💯Every version of my book has been stolen by AI: English paperback, audiobook, e-book AND the French translation.

And as a consent educator, I see that kind of theft for what it is : A violation of consent. I did not consent to my memoir of the worst moments of my life, being used to train robots.

Sign the Petition Stop Silencing Survivors: Ban National Security Secrecy in Violence Against Women Cases

In May 2025, Canada’s Department of Justice invoked the “national security” confidentiality to defend a member of an elite special forces military unit — charged with aggravated assault, choking, and assault causing bodily harm after he violently attacked his partner.

This cannot stand.

Mad that Jays tickets are astronomically expensive? Blame Ford.

Mad that you lost rent control? Blame Ford.

Mad to be inundated with ads for gambling? Blame Ford.

Mad that classrooms are overcrowded? Blame Ford.

Mad that health care is crumbling? Blame Ford.

The man is the cause of so much BS.

Said this before but I'll say it again. Just one lifetime ago in the UK our grandfathers could buy a home, buy a car, have 3 or 4 children, wives could stay home, take annual vacations, and then retire... all on one middle class salary. What happened?
We had the same day GP, ambulances within minutes, dentists, good education, decent public transport, clean river and beaches. So AGAIN wtf happened?

Neoliberalism happened; taxes on billionaires and corporations were slashed, national assets were sold off to the lowest bidder, government functions were handed to corporations - the single largest transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top in human history happened.
We've been robbed blind

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

What the AG's report tells us about Ford's Bust Out Dear readers and subscribers, hello again. It’s been quite awhile. We never intended to be away from the newsletter this long, or away at all, really. Those of you who have followed us for awhile kno...

The Auditor General herself has no idea where billions of dollars for healthcare have gone in Ontario.

For five years now.

We started an account called Corruptario 3 or 4 years ago. (R.I.P. to that account, and 2 more.)

We published first Corruptario article in February of 2023.

We got inundated with normies saying we were crazy for saying Ontario is corrupt.

Now, not so much.

All free to read.

More spin than a laundrette is my quick takeaway from the government’s lazy response to the Tasmanian Planning Commission’s deep analysis of the Macquarie Point Stadium proposal. Frankly, it reads like a consultant’s report created using ChatGPT that wouldn’t convince even the most avid 1/2
