Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

Jesus Christ return before 2027 Odds >5% February 17, 12-1 AM? 29% chance

On Polymarket you can now bet on how many people in a different market on Polymarket think Jesus Christ will return in this calendar year.

29% of bets say that more than 5% of bets in the Jesus Christ return market will be a "yes" 9 days from now.

Anyway everyone involved in this needs jailtime.

We also need to stop the layers of contractors and subcontractors and actually build institutional knowledge.

Ontario and Canada needs to think about this.

Brexit, Trump, Alberta Separatism - it all follows the same pattern - foreign influence intended to destabilize western democratic nations. They pick and choose the easiest target and use social media bots and money to fuel the campaigns.

You need to understand that there are not lengthy standoffs between protesters and ICE in Minneapolis. Alex Pretti was not a “protester” in a conventional sense. ICE lurks around the city and occasionally takes aggressive actions, and bystanders and observers document it and raise the alarm

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.

If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

Stand with the people 💪💪

Yep noticed the same thing watching that show “why didn’t they get that dealt with before it became a massive abscess?”

It always amuses me how Real Canadian Superstore puts their frozen yorkshire puddings in the desserts cooler. The word pudding clearly throws people off.

Opinion: Winnipeg and a rush to downtown growth Renowned urbanist Jane Jacobs once said, “You can’t rely on bringing people downtown, you have to put them there.” Planners and politicians have long understood that prosperity and renewal for downtow...

My column today: 2026 might be an inflection point. When complete, construction in downtown Winnipeg that is both underway and soon to begin will create new homes for more than 5,000 people, increasing the population of downtown by nearly 30 per cent.

I’ve been working on this video with HUB Cycling since last summer and I’m incredibly excited to share it with you soon! It looks at the growing divide in how cities approach bikeshare and scootershare, and the messy history of how we got to this point.

‘It’s surreal’: US sanctions lock International Criminal Court judge out of daily life Canadian judge Kimberly Prost is unable to use credit cards, transfer money or book everyday services in what she calls an attack on the independence of the judiciary

It is to Canada's shame we have not spoken out or supported a Canadian judge being sanctioned by the US

Her life is frozen. She cannot use credit cards, travel, move money, or access email. This is not sustainable

In none of the rural places where I grew up can I imagine a large share of adults choosing to go car-free.

But can we make it safer for families to walk/bike to school or around their neighbourhood? Can we make the main streets nicer to walk along, even if you arrive by car?

The most under-reported story of the year, IMO, is about the national implications of the extreme and wildly popular success of congestion pricing in New York City.

When you remove cars from cities, you not only make money for things the city needs; you make people in the city much, much happier.

Photo of a playing card from the Monopoly “Go to Jail” expansion pack that reads “Creative Zoning: Build up to two free houses on one property, even without a complete set.”

Awkward moment when monopoly legalizes housing before your city.

The impression I get is that, culturally, most public sector workers in the US are just deeply disrespected and unappreciated. It’s hard to expect good policy implementations in those conditions.

We have to improve Canada's road safety through better and safer road design. It saves lives.

Fatal head-on Monday crash closes Highway 1 in Surrey, 3 vehicles involved - BC | Globalnews.ca 'This collision was immediately and obviously serious, and that caused a complete shutdown of the highway,' Cpl. Michael McLaughlin with BC Highway Patrol said.

Witnessed the aftermath of this terrible collision this morning. A car crossed the grass highway median into oncoming traffic.

In most European countries this kind of incident wouldn't have ended in such tragedy, the entire stretch would have to have crash barriers.

I was stunned when I found substack has RSS feeds too. Used it to integrate our blog into our website.

“It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them.” — Mayor of Pontevedra, Spain (re-elected 6 times)

This is a great web page! I relate to this level of passion to put lots of details on the website

Woah thats an amazing chart, very helpful for what I’m working on. Whats the source?

The political obsession with vanity projects is tiresome. So much basic housekeeping to do.

Exclusive: Fossil fuel workers won’t be saved by Carney’s oil and gas boosterism A new pipeline won’t lead to new jobs in the oil and gas sector, and the only question for government officials is whether or not to plan for the inevitable energy transition, according to new researc...

Employment in oil and gas is in terminal decline and won’t be saved no matter what Carney and Smith cook up, according to new research from the Centre for Future Work provided exclusively to @nationalobserver.com.

The only responsible choice for governments is to plan for the transition.

That's basically what BC did with SSMUH and we're seeing pushback, so that's kind of my argument in the post.

It's holding for now, but it would be better if we could establish more trust and legitimacy to make these reforms more resilient.
