JFK appointed his brother Attorney General. What a shameful act of nepotism! They had been brothers for 35 years! No other interviews!

Your position is beyond silly. All cabinet ministers appoint political and communications advisors. They have broad latitude to do so.

The bomb shift was in international waters, 2,000 km from Iran. This was a significant widening of the scope of the conflict. A change that occurred without warning.

What on Earth is sinister about this timeline? She became DHS secretary '25, and she hired him in that same year. Do you imagine that a newly inaugurated cabinet secretary would not appoint a lot of people upon assuming office?

On the bedroom-equipped plane masquerading as a deportation vehicle, you absolutely have a point.

And, to be clear, Kristy Noam is a despicable human being. If first prize was a chance to sleep with her, you'd hope and pray to place second.

They are consenting adults having sex. Spare us the "but he's a subordinate!" whinging. Scarlet letter pandering is unworthy of Democrats.

She hired an advisor. Cabinet ministers have wide discretion when hiring political advisors.

What a terrible take!

Kim Jong-un and Xi Jinping smiling together

Xi: Did you hear?

Kim: No...

Xi: The Americans are moving air defense systems out of South Korea!

Kim: What? No way!

Xi: Yes!

Kim: Amazing. How'd you do that?

Xi: I didn't do anything. They started a war with Iran, told themselves it'd be easy, and didn't do the math on interceptors.

Kim: Ha!

I can't stand. Kristy Noam. She's repugnant. But I'm afraid I'm in the "It's repugnant" camp. Who cares who she's sleeping with? Flip the part affiliation, and the same commenters would be outraged at the same question.

Died in ICE custody from complications of a tooth infection.

It's disgusting that we are even considering deportation. He served his sentence without complaint. Cruelty and vengeance should not be Canada's MO.

It's the silly, smug, purists' answer.

Yes

I committed a typo. The app is YR.NO.

Sorry for the mistake.

CORRECTION: YR.NO

If only Bluesky allowed editing of posts.

What a snotty, supercilious hit piece.

John Manley: Man responsible for Humboldt Broncos crash paid his debt to society and should not be deported Further punishment of Jaskirat Singh Sidhu is not warranted

Former Deputy PM John Manley thinks the Humboldt truck driver should be allowed to stay in Canada.

"Are we a nation that is punitive, vengeful and mean-spirited, or are we a country that can demonstrate mercy, compassion and forgiveness?

Hooray for EU charts! Consistently more reliable forecasts for Cape Breton Island. Easily accessed via the YO.NO app.

I didn't say that. You DID say that the whole point of bike Lanes was to improve the driving experience for motorists.

Crosswalks is an entirely different debate.

I didn't realize you were a retired old man. Or perhaps you're a middle-aged woman who needs to brush up on dangling participles.

"You people"

With respect, I don't think that's the whole point of bike lanes. Spend any time watching social media discussion of bike lanes, and you'll see that the welfare of drivers is not top of mind for cycling advocates.

Nor is anyone advocating "just killing cyclists." That's just tendentiousness.

Bike counters did what the lobby group that installed them, Hfx Cycling Coalition, designed them to do: overcount bikes.

This is a matter of disagreement. Perhaps Council should hire an independent accounting firm to determine how much the existing network is used in each season of the year.

This could be a powerful argument if only the predicates were true. Unfortunately, in both cases they are false.

The predicate to my argument — that bike lanes in Halifax are conspicuously empty most of the time, even in summer — is demonstrably true.

Is sauce for the goose sauce for the gander? In Tim Houston's government, not so much.

Should we bother pointing out the three grammatical errors in this brief post? Nah.

I'm perfectly fine with people biking, but not many do. Turning vastly disproportionate resources (money and space) over to this seasonal niche pastime is poor public policy.

What is the basis for this claim? Halifax receives 154 cm - 221 per winter, less than Moncton, much more than Fredericton, slightly less than Saint John. The point is that HRM's existing bike Lanes are lightly used in summer, virtually unused in winter. Winter biking is an activity for zealots.

Counselor Sam Adams wants council to cave in to rule-breaking developers, he should say so, and explain why. Also, someone should be checking the list of donations to Sam's campaign from Zagros Home Development Ltd.

Also, a situation can be unique or it can be rather unusual. But it cannot be rather unique. Unique is an absolute, meaning one of a kind. (I know descriptivists disagree, but that's because their ideology insists any grammatical error is okay as soon as a few people make it.) #mealymouthed

Sounds like Councillor Sam Austin is trying to sidestep a staff recommendation requiring a developer to remove two storeys it built illegally. He got counsel to delay a vote, saying, “It’s a rather unique situation,” that needs more time for discussion with staff before council vote.
