I hadn't seen Canada's response to this war, but it turns out that Carney and Anand are stuck in the past. We simply can't jump up and support every American aggression. The US is a faithless ally these days, doing heaps of damage. Does Canada really want to legitiamte an autocrat's war? No.

Canada would have been better off saying nothing. You can detest the regime in Iran without supporting chaos. www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

Here's the joint statement by the UK, France and Germany that I wish Carney had made on behalf of Canada.

Horrible look on him and Canada.

So the war that does not have congressional approval, already has Canadian approval? Are we just going to knock over liquor stores with Trump next?

An unerring instinct for taking the wrong tone. Most Labour MPs are decent people who see Reform, not the Greens, as the danger to the country. This approach - where KS blames anything but his own leadership - is going to go down like a lead balloon.

my mum lives in Gorton and Denton and funnily enough you could predict this result simply by looking at my tweets about her political feelings over the last year.

A spa tracks the falls as a honeymoon destination. Let visitors do Maid of the Mist, then instead of leaving, feeling empty, get dinner, catch a show, then do a spa day. Proximity to border a big bonus. The falls are a perfectly good one trick pony. But almost everything else there’s a bit mangy.

I am good with left wing parties replacing those supposedly left wing parties that sell out on immigrants and trans people.

Congratulations to The Green Party and Hannah Spencer for such a strong victory in Gorton and Denton - Matt Goodwin seems to be blaming a dirty tricks campaign of the Greens persuading people to vote for them by having policies people wanted to vote for

I mean it sincerely, let Therme build their giant mall spa in Niagara Falls, it would be a great fit. Doug Ford needs to accept that as Premier his job is to govern the Province of Ontario not vanquish his long time foe, Toronto.

Let's see if we can raise $10,000 today for red state or national queer orgs. Post proof here in the replies that you donated to a red state or national queer organization and I will share.

Who's with me?

(I can't donate myself because I'm a journalist who covers these orgs)

And what with the incredible Aga Khan building nearby, it was shaping up to be a real district.

This pretty picture is of the province’s smaller Science Centre near their private spa at Ontario Place. The price tag is $1.4 billion. The existing building only requires about $350 mil over 20 years (and about $30 mil for priority repairs). All this based on the AG report.

It’s a brilliant building, it embraces Toronto’s ravines, a rare, beautiful thing. Also, unlike Ford’s planned Miniature Science Centre, it’s not on rush hour row in downtown Toronto β€” it’s easy for school buses and families from out of town to visit. It is The *Ontario* Science Centre, after all.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Small fun fact, one of my brothers worked on Google Maps back in the early days and he pressed the team to add reviews which were generally considered too much of a minefield but he was all for trusting that people wanted to be helpful and here we are.
