The Rich List - Macleans.ca There's a new billionaire topping our list this year. Here are Canada's 40 wealthiest peopleβ€”and how they made their money.

This should make us all grab torches and pitchforks and start a revolution. Crypto billionaire Changpeng Xhao, ex-con recently pardoned by Trump, is now Canada's richest person according to the annual @macleans.bsky.social ranking: macleans.ca/longforms/th.... #cdnecon #canlab /2

BREAKING: The entire Conservative party crosses the aisle and/or resigns upon realizing Mark Carney is a conservative.

I think you need a remedial math class. A minority by its definition is less than 50%, so far from most. This is precisely the problem with FPTP, you can lose an election and still be handed a false majority government. It is beyond broken.

I think that title goes to Trudeau's promise that this would be the last election using our antiquated undemocratic first past the post system. His betrayal on Proportional Representation is a fraud that will be hard to beat.

If the Conservatives are crossing the floor, it's not a success for the country it means the Liberals are too far right.

We needed stronger measures to combat climate disinformation and yet the Liberals back down to fossil fuel lobbying. We need real leadership not corporate Liberal cowardice. #CdnPoli

Liberals really decided the best choice for their party was someone who emulates Keir fuckin’ Starmer

Powerful new research from the Workers Action Centre on the epidemic of wage theft in Ontario: workersactioncentre.org/wp-content/u.... Based on multilingual survey of 513 workers, 60% of whom had experienced a pay violation, 28% were paid below minimum wage. #canlab

Observations from Montreal An ever-changing collection of commentary and observations by Montrealers or about Montreal politics and culture.

β€œA report by the CBC revealed that Pierre Poilievre hired the team behind Canada Proud to β€˜boost his messages online.’ The organization has since been caught running disinformation campaigns targeting Mark Carney. Canadians deserve to know every last detail about Poilievreβ€˜s ties to Canada Proud.”

The two most prominent politicians in America who compared Trump to Hitler are not Democrats but members of his own administration: Vice President Vance and HHS Secretary Kennedy.

BREAKING: I have just received inside information that a copy of the Socratic dialogue "Protagoras" was found in the shooter's backpack. It is looking like the shooter may not have had a political motive after all, but was radicalized against Sophistry by Socrates.

Time to ban philosophy??

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for.

But it’s the β€œviolent left” that’s the problem

Real discussion:
CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan

Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me?

CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking

He's a Liberal. They lie egregiously when they campaign. That's their MO, and people fall for it. Every time. Trudeau, ChrΓ©tien, Martin... They campaign on the left and rule from the centre right. WHY DON'T PEOPLE SEE THIS?! (Not op, I know she gets it)

As an atheists, I've always had a hard time with folks saying "Bless You" after I sneezed. Gesundheit always felt clunky to me. I've found the perfect replacement. Whenever anyone sneezes, I'm going to say, "Expel those demons!" Don't give me a hard time for not being nondemonational. #atheism

This is a 22-post thread sharing dozens & dozens of gaming alternatives to the NYT Games page. Crosswords, Wordle, Spelling Bee, and more.

All but one of them I share is free online. Including how to do the NYT puzzles w/out doing them at NYT or needing a sub (if I'm reading the site right)
