You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that she’s setting herself up for 2032 or 2036.

She is going to be president someday—it’s just a matter of time.

This makes sense. I wondered where his concern for Nigeria came from. There aren’t that many white people there.

We shoulda just elected him mayor in 2014. That way he wouldn’t be trying to be mayor of every city in Ontario.

Much like SkyDome, this will only ever be Science Centre Station.

Rename East Harbour to “Tory’s Smart Track”

This is the thing to do. Versus Vance’s “western civilization” nonsense, we need to rebuild around the principle that democracy, liberal markets, social justice and human mobility are and have always been universal human values not at all confined to or even originating in the West

I remembered the “Lord Mayor” whatever that is. A CBC story says “Robert Finch, Lord Mayor of the City of London, which is the financial district of London, England.” Makes sense as it was at Toronto Stock Exchange. Rumours say Julie recovered from the stake.

When a bunch of drug squad cops were charged with corruption in 2004, David Miller asked a London visitor “Are your cops in jail? Mine are.” Chief Fantino: “It was like a stake through my heart.” (The big guy was John Schertzer whose cop wife was reprimanded & demoted last year for her actions.)

Trump “loves Canadians”, and we love the USA… At least, we don’t hate the country as much as Russia, Iran, or North Korea.

Time for a rousing “America: the greatest country in the world” chorus.

The “La Marseillaise” scene in Casablanca (1942) still lands with staggering power. Many extras were actual refugees from Nazi-occupied Europe, which is why it feels so painfully genuine.👏👏👏👏🎶💙

This is just unconscionable man

I remember back in the early 60s, Maple Leaf Gardens sent a letter to people who had season tickets in the “reds” (most expensive seats), noting that some people weren’t dressing “appropriately.” Jackets & ties, and dresses were expected.

The only really famous person I've had to spend time with was Leonard Cohen. I asked him how his songs came to be used in McCabe And Mrs. Miller.
He said when the Altman people called, he'd recently seen Brewster McCloud, loved it, and was happy to be a part of whatever Altman did next.

RIP Bud Cort. May you fly high in the Astrodome of heaven.

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

One on left is a black dog and above it the words “Reality”. Below it is “I chased a squirrel” One the right is a black dog and above it says “LinkedIn”. Below it says, Proud to announce that I effectively executed a rapid-response squirrel displacement strategy to mitigate potential yard intrusions. Humbled by the unwavering support of my family and local stakeholders. This experience reinforced the importance of vigilance, ownership, and continuous improvement. Looking forward to scaling this impact in future engagements.

I had a lesion on my back, got a medical referral to a dermatologist. Took months for the appointment. He said it was fine (free) but if I wanted, he could remove but just for appearance. A year later it looked worse, so made appt for cosmetic procedure. Got appt in a week. Plus $$$

DinoCon with a more prompt response to academics complicit in sexual abuse than uh, the entirety of academia.

At very least you could hang a big picture of Trump and Epstein on the Canadian side facing Detroit. Then it wouldn’t be a complete waste

So anyone still searching in the lake can give up now.

Very possible there would be significant voter rejection of such a quick blatant opportunistic move. Ford 25 & Trudeau 21 didn’t really suffer for unnecessary call, though it was later in their term. Peterson 90 got burnt tho.

'Potentially' is doing some heavy lifting there

Cuba has already warned international airlines. They will now be forced either to send planes to the island with extra fuel from their departure airports, make refuelling stops in other countries — or, ultimately, cancel flights 🚨
