Well there is this clip that ran on C-SPAN?

It's unproven, considered to be conspiracy but coincides with your reference to LBJ.

What a great article, well researched and supported, it needs to be cited as often as possible. Let's call subsidies what they are be clear how they're not provided equally.
Once people can dispense with a car they rarely go back to owning one.

Carney doesn't care about working class Canadians or quality of life issues. He's here for the 1% and US Oligarch Bros.
It's Elbows Down, I am the Governor of a US State.

Trump will drop a nuclear weapon before he's done, just because he can, knows no one will stop him, wants to see what it looks like, will say it was the right thing to do and it will add to his legacy. He wants to mess everything up as badly as he can before he's gone because "revenge".

Asian and Black skips look to carve a place in curling history at Brier Two curlers believed to be the first Black and Asian skips in Brier history are set to break new ground as Canada’s national men’s curling championship opens today.

The diversity curling has needed at the Championship level has finally arrived! This is so great for the sport, these teams have won their right to be at The Brier!

This sends the wrong message, public transit is an essential service for many Canadians.
Incrementally improving funding to public transit across the country can make it more affordable and boost ridership.
This cut makes transit difficult for cities to sustain.
Owning a car is not an option.

Men's hockey culture just can't seem to grow-up or just doesn't want to grow up.
Meeting with Trump was bad enough, but there's precedent for meeting with the President.
Going to a strip club was their own bad decision, hopefully they are all identified and vilified.

Can you trust AI to look up recipes for cakes or other baking ideas? Idk if I would but I am so tired of trying to find a recipe within the ads, pictures and self-promotion of baking experts websites?
Thoughts, or experiences good and bad?

Can you give some detail? Where in Canada Place? Is it accessible to anyone that parks their bike? Is there any security beyond my bike locks? Register the bike? Eyeballs on the bike-curious people? Have you left if for a whole day, like 6+ hours and felt comfortable? DM if you want.

That's quite elaborate it looks like long-term infrastructure?
Could we develop even a short term space?
The City Centre Mall Parkade had potential for a bike lock-up. Are options still available? I'd love to see this built.
People won't leave a bike locked outside in downtown, so they don't go.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

They're weird but I'd like to try both of them.
Are these now relics from the past and in magazines and catalogues? Or could you find them?
I worked in sales at a restaurant supply company, there were always a few "out there" flatware designs.

Journalism is just regurgitating news releases?
$1B among 40 million Canadians is $25/person

Providing public services are why governments exist, not everything is profitable or should be privatized.
Do roads turn a profit? No, but we keep building them?

Entirely different -
Was going to post "Killing An Arab" by The Cure from 1978
from my interest in reading Albert Camus - L'etranger

Holy Moses - it's banned everywhere on the internet?!

How boring does the Olympic Men's Hockey round-robin look?
I think the most curious game will be Denmark vs USA
And hoping the crowd boos the USA all game long! 😁

A Day for Gaza Today, The Nation is turning over its website exclusively to stories from Gaza and its people. This is why.

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza.

We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

The photos from a UN fact finding mission to northern Gaza which were part of a diplomatic cable suppressed by the US Ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, have been released by Drop Site News. These are the genocidal conditions in Gaza that Lew specifically tried to hide from the White House and public.

Just saw this on tsn.ca and hope it can "break the ice" for diversity in curling. In my playing and watching curling over many years, it is one of the least culturally diverse sports even at club levels in Canada. This is "Cool Sweepings"! So great!

On the bright side one of those teams is going to win a hockey game tonight, which has not been recent or frequent for either team 😄!

Yes, I've reached my article limit which I think is precisely 0 (in unknown span of time).
Was not able to read, even after being directed to the home page this article is not in "Latest Stories" I had to search it and once again access was blocked.🤷
