Okay, but Winnipeg has cakes with a shortbread bottom.

I think that that is a bad misreading of 'mainstream Jewish organizations'.

There are LOTS that don't see anti-Zionism as a subset of antisemitism.

No, this is all the doing of anti-semites attacking Jews.

Israel didn't make some shithead drive his car into a synagogue, and GFY for implying that it's anybody's fault but his.

Turns out that the piece of provincial infrastructure formerly named 'Science Centre' with a faulty roof was not the one we were told it was.

Make one of them a station wagon, and I'm installing a charger at my place, tomorrow.

The new physical wealth gap isn’t your gym membership.

It’s not even your personal trainer’s experience.

It’s who knows a forklift can deadlift 500lbs for an hour straight without breaking a sweat and someone still trying to bench the bar.

I just watched a bodybuilder skip 8 weeks of training…

One of my favourite ghost reminders is Lin(n)smore Crescent (which isn't remotely a crescent, but I digress)

The spelling changes (but not the numbering) as you move from Toronto to East York.

The Linsmore Tavern, of course, is in Toronto but uses the East York spelling.

Nothing is going to stop the premier from being whatever level of terrible he chooses to be.

We can only take care of our own and elect people who will fight for Toronto.

Alternatively, Ford running would split the unhinged rightwing vote between him and Bradford, allowing Chow to sneak through, even if all the progressives jump ship.

So, anybody in Toronto looking to add to their sales leadership team?

Has the conversation around jets at Billy Bishop changed?

I'd say it has.

Ten years ago, we didn't have a rail connection to Pearson. We weren't building TTC lines that way either.

Now we have an express connection and future plans.

We need jets at Billy Bishop LESS now than 10 years ago.

This is what I like about 'with all due respect'.

Because if I'm saying it to somebody, the amount of respect they're due is probably very close to zero.

Iran: just as you claim our energy infrastructure are legitimate targets, so too do we claim the tech firms aiding your war department as targets.

People everywhere: yup, that makes sense.

Look, it helps when you also spent time being a professional killer of Brown folk.

Ah yes, a mercenary with a Nazi tattoo is definitely a shift 'away' from miltarism and racism.

Well done.

Given that another public work has recently vacated the name 'Science Centre Station', I vote that we do a write-in campaign to use that name on the ferry.

Also, because the offical shortlist of names are extremely, wantonly, mid.

Write in ballot to name the ferry "Science Centre Station" since that name has recently become vacant.

Then build it out 50m from the current shoreline; create a lagoon.

The riches still get their 'waterfront', and the rest of us can enjoy the lake too.

This is a beautiful study in how corporations and the media work together to attempt to manufacture consent.

One church pastor has declared his boycott 'over', and Target is trumpeting it as the end of all boycotts.

But now it looks like it's gonna Streisand harder, if you look at the QSes.

When Mexico scores 4 runs and wins today, everybody is going to be happy.

There are very few times that I'm glad for the media ecosystem here in Canada, but today is absolutely one of those times.

Sportsnet showing all the games just makes everything smooth. If you can watch the Jays, you can watch the WBC.

This card makes me sad that there are no good Legendary creatures with Blood Artist effects attached to them.
