we're in legit first they came for territory and a lot of people have been failing at this test they cite all the time

What happens next?

Carney will be invited to form a govt by the GG.

Carney will be the Prime Minister-designate during a transition period (could be really fast or a few days).

Once the transition is over, Trudeau formally resigns as Prime Minister, and Carney is appointed PM.

Syrian security forces execute 125 civilians in battle against Assad loyalists Battle in Latakia is marked escalation by Bashar al-Assad loyalists against Syria’s new Islamist-led government

The scenes and voices coming out from friends and family on the Syrian coast are nightmarish. The bloodshed continues unabated and any pretence of state authority by those in Damascus has well and truly collapsed. And we will all pay a hefty price to come.

We are going to put tariffs on *throws dart at map* CANADA, because of *picks a crumpled piece of paper out of hat* FENTANYL, at the rate of *rolls 100 sided die* TWENTY FIVE PERCENT, and we’ll repeat this process in *consults ouija board* TWO DAYS

Honey, wake up, it’s time for your hopes to be falsely raised again

I immigrated here from America, you can’t break me

Already happening in Canada. Trump might even get the Liberals reelected despite absolutely abysmal polling as of a month ago

It is laughable but also sad that the TTC Subway still doesn't announce connections with GO train lines. A lot of them are running fairly frequently and tons of people are riding, why must we make it harder for people than it needs to be?

Wondering if any other multilingual countries do the Canadian political speech thing where they do a few paragraphs in one language, then the next few paragraphs in the other, constantly switching back and forth. Seems like it might only be here!

To understand some of these policy domains clearly, we need to break out of the regulatory-deregulatory dichotomy. "Regulation" isn't just a dial you turn up and down, it's thousands of moving parts. So what we need isn't MORE or LESS of it but a regulatory regime that does what we want it to do.

My brother has a job interview for a job whose perks include 20 euro/night hotel stays for direct family members all over the coolest cities in Europe and I need everyone to please manifest my brother getting this job

Never stop posting your dreams

I didn’t get mine either!

Feels like the early covid years where PhDs weren’t even bothering with the academic job market because the other options (data science, federal govt, etc) were hiring left and right are now some kind of strange fever dream!

And also in Arabic! Makes me wonder how many other spice names in Arabic could be from South Asian languages

One of my favorite Toronto memories is going over this next to a bunch of kids on a field trip and all the kids yelling “Woooooooooow!!”

Debating the merits and demerits of USAID right now makes what’s going on seem like a policy debate following democratically passed legislation rather than a response to the first step of an auto golpe of the entire US govt apparatus

If you ask chatgpt to tailor your resume for a job it will suggest things that are completely made up. If LLMs can draft up a completely false resume and cover letter, it seems like a lot more human labor will have to be used for references and in person testing to verify credentials.

I have a feeling AI is going to result in a total change to the whole job seeking process. I applied to a job that definitely does not have more than 500 qualified applicants in the whole world and it got 2500+ applicants. I think a lot of people just have bots applying to them.

Opinion | There Is No Going Back The president’s opponents, whoever they are, cannot expect a return to the Constitution as it was.

Yeah so the Constitution isn’t really in effect right now

No!!!!!

Your daughter’s glasses are so adorable

I have been thinking about teaching her to ski eventually since she was born but I have no concept of how/where people typically do it here or at what age. My parents just took me on a vacation to Colorado when I was 7 and I did lessons every day until I got it.

I’m impressed you are teaching a THREE year old to ski? Braver parent than me

And we should keep it in place regardless of what happens with the rest of the tariffs

It’s pretty surreal to see Canadians getting all nationalistic. It’s like seeing your friend who dresses like Fetterman wearing a tux at his wedding. Like great to see you rise to the occasion bud but I almost didn’t recognize you!

My daughter recently acquired the conceptual framework of “countries” and loves to spontaneously tell people “My dad is from Syria and my mom is from America” and maybe I should get her to… stop doing that, lol

This seems like a great time for the Canadian govt to consider encouraging more use of mass timber in new buildings going forward
