PM Carney on decoupling from US: "This sort of relentless process of greater integration has reversed. That's a big change. When you have a big change like that and you had your economy oriented towards that, which ours was,some of your strengths become vulnerabilities and you have to do big things"

I hope these will stay in Canada. Ideally in public institutions. Are they protected from export as cultural property?

I imagine soon enough he'll have to build something new to replace the office space he's bulldozed. The Melania Wing?

Very foxy - the pair of you. Oct 1 is my dad's birthday, a besties birthday and Trafalgar Day. Many reasons to celebrate!

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because itโ€™s even worse today.

Yes, I am that parent. My 13 year old protested by lying in bed for a day rather than go to Ronda. She was done, done, done with every cathedral and museum in Europe. But her diary from then still has me in stitches - "it would take 3 years to get out of the Louvre if you looked at every item".

CAF will soon be living in a brand new 37 unit condo near Esquimalt base (purchased after a court-ordered sale). I too was surprised when it was announced that new members coming for training would be priority tenants. I think families and more long term members should be first on the list.

At Yonge & Dundas Jays fans are obeying the pedestrian scramble, as is the custom & returning to sidewalk each light cycle.

The DND in Esquimalt just bought a 37 unit brand new condo ( a court-ordered sale ) so they're putting their money where their mouth is. It will be the nicest and newest military housing in Canada. I'm jealous, especially for the lucky ones who get the penthouse suites!

Not to be THAT dictionary, butโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s โ€˜per se,โ€™ not โ€˜per say.โ€™
Itโ€™s โ€˜dog-eat-dog world,โ€™ not โ€˜doggy-dog world.โ€™
Itโ€™s โ€˜hunger pangs,โ€™ not โ€˜hunger pains.โ€™
Itโ€™s โ€˜one and the same,โ€™ not โ€˜one in the same.โ€™
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesnโ€™t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

I use it at the slightest hint of a sore throat - I'm convinced it saved me last week after being exposed to a family member's cold. My bf, who didn't use First Defence, got it :-(.

as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life

and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.

And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communitiesโ€™ water and power.

When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

Boy Dog and I had a Discussion on our walk this afternoon. We've worked really hard on establishing that he is only allowed to chew reindeer antlers.

Today, he attempted to test a loophole.

So now we work on only allowed to chew antlers that are not still walking around on a reindeer.
