It’s to make room for a tree in corner of lot no? Neighbour who built a pair of semi detached had to plant two trees in front of lot.

Reminder that #OttCity ph1 LRT only got 3 washrooms at 13 ph1 stations; 2 (each end) forced on city by prov and 1 at Bayview due to advocacy; 1 was added at Line 2; AFAIK there are none added to rest of ph2; most are closed more often than open. This is a gender and equity issue. 1/

What could go wrong?

Alberta's bid to privatize lab services wasted more than $100M: auditor general | CBC News Alberta's auditor general has released a report detailing numerous failures in process and lack of due diligence by the province in its attempt to privatize community lab services.

Polymarket tweets: "BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani to require all New York elementary school students to learn Arabic numerals." Laura Loomer replies: "You know things are bad when you can't tell if this is real or a joke. Dear God. It's real. Isn't it?"

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

Texas only serving up their best and brightest.

I’ve been thinking and it’s kind of exceptional that not a single person said “Hey now” after the piggy comment.

Canadian snowbirds say political tensions with the U.S. are changing their migration patterns | CBC News For decades, Canadians have flown south of the border in the winter, seeking a warm refuge from the cold and snow. But in the year since Donald Trump was re-elected, many say they're rethinking those ...

Interesting how the Americans interviewed in this story still don’t seem to really get why Canadians are increasingly staying away.

For me it's the way the press pool just quietly went along with it because he's the president

The entire point of this country is that we don't have to let some guy do whatever he wants just because of his title. We don't have to respect him or go along with him just because he holds an office

And how much less would they owe if they had just settled with their union a year ago?

Acquaint yourself with the major antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Don't automatically discount it when left Jews tell you that you've done a dogwhistle, even if you didn't intend it.

These are trencherous waters.

Oppose genocide, *and.*

Do not do the Nazis' work for them.

LOL Come visit America!

And then “go home. And go home in a timely manner.” 🤡

Ceasefire? What ceasefire…

Confiscating jewellery from survivors of a war zone makes you look like a fucking Nazi. And the obscene thing is, that is the intention. It's there to look appropriately harsh. Indecent. Filthy. A moral stain. And no-one of good character would have ever proposed such a thing in the first place.

Angry Leafs fan yells “wimps!” and sobs into his Timmies…

The line “vote for us or you’ll get the far right” doesn’t really work when the policies you’re enacting are barely distinguishable from what the far right propose.

It’s literally faster to drive from Toronto to Ottawa.

I second this.

If you’re wondering why I can’t gather even the slightest hint of excitement for a new Star Trek movie, it’s because the folk who own ST are the same folk who hired Bari Weiss and think this is a reasonable question for this moment.

There won’t be a place for a fan like me in Ellison’s Star Trek

My unsolicited & just one guy two cents is that unconsolidated fascism is a massive threat & yes it's not full fascism yet & no one serious actually says that it is but let's not wait until it is to call the fascists fascist OK?

Next time Trump claims to be fighting for Jews — spoiler alert: he doesn’t give a damn about Jews — remember that he keeps hiring Jew haters in his administration. The latest: Paul Ingrassia, the guy rejected by the Senate because he said he likes Nazism & racism.

Viktor Orbán’s Hail Mary. I was editor in chief of Hungary’s most-read independent daily until a pro-government media network bought the newspaper. It’s the fifth time in thirty years that politics has cost me my job—and it’s ...

If you have heard me or other observers talking about the "Orbanization of the media system" in the U.S., but you weren't sure who Viktor Orbán is and how he operates, I can recommend this article by a Hungarian journalist, Iván Zsolt Nagy, who has lived throught it all. www.cjr.org/opinion/vikt...

It's a revealing moment...

J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.

The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

The current effort to defang the Epstein case is not new. The last pages of the Epilogue, Unspeakable: Father-Daughter Incest in American History:

Interestingly, the CJF also believe that the May 1 flag raising for Israel (which happens every year in Calgary) is entirely appropriate and that it would be a shame if peaceful countries like Israel lost the ability to participate in city hall flag raisings.

Apparently people from “many communities have reached out with serious concerns” about the raising of the Palestinian flag but notably mentions that the Calgary Jewish Federation was deeply disappointed about the decision to grant a Palestinian flag raising.
