Doug Ford - who has taken over 8 school boards claiming fiscal mismanagement - is selling his new $28.9M private jet. Why the sudden change of heart?

This, yes. And also: food may be essential, shelter, and so on. But without some allotment for pleasure and beauty, that can all become pretty meaningless pretty fast. Humans are not built to simply survive. Pleasure is not just a luxury for the rich, it's part of the fabric of human life.
An AI image of Trump as a Jesus-like character curing the sick as patriotic symbols and worshipers surround him.
From CNN, portrait of Jesus with a MAGA hat at a rally
Trump and many followers have built up their own MAGA version of Jesus Christ. He's more macho, war-friendly, and an icon for white christian nationalists. There is a parallel. The Nazi's promoted "Positive Christianity" with Jesus as an Aryan fighting Judaism and Hitler as a messianic leader.
I always wished USians could see their country as the rest of the world does. This is a good summary.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. "NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth.”

Not Your Average Liberal @NotAvgLiberal Just read it. Spot On - An Aussie reply to Trump’s rant about ‘NATO not being there for us’: “Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
Wow. Check out this Aussie telling it like it is.

LMAO. I was wondering what I was missing before I hit play but then it was pretty self explanatory.
Pretty sure that’s his suitcase 😂

JUST IN: The Shreveport, Louisiana, gunman was the father of seven of the eight children he killed, police said. He also shot their mother and another woman.
it's remarkable how crazy this video is, especially in light of what we just learned in that Atlantic article
Parents of the 168 children murdered by the US government have written to Pope Leo. They wrote of their children and their deep grief.
They thanked him for being a voice for peace.
Meanwhile silence from the White House.
But there is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.
April 19 is more than a date in Toronto’s history, it’s the anniversary of the Great Fire of 1904, when flames swept through the downtown core and changed the city forever.

How jails run by the Ford government accidentally released more than 150 inmates, and then lost some of them for months.
Plus, how the government's explanation keeps shifting. #OnPoli

What are we even doing here, you guys? Did someone decide the dark ages were the good old days that we need to bring back?
It’s wild to watch how shocked Iran war supporter Bill Maher is to hear jake sullivan break the news to him that Bernie and the 40 Dems are right to cut off Israel because the war was immoral from the beginning
Sanofi will be making Novavax available in Canada this fall — but it’s up to the provinces or territories to order this vaccine. Send an email to your health minister and your local representative to tell them why Novavax access is essential for many people: covidsociety.ca/news/nuvaxov...
Meanwhile, one more nail in the coffin of MAHA's "overdiagnosis" / anything-but-COVID moral panic.
Keep the receipts from all those negligent medical influencers who insisted there was no need to worry about letting kids get infected, that COVID isn't airborne and that respirators don't work.
Today is the 42nd Anniversary of the Canada Health Act, the perfect time for the Liberals to enforce the act and protect public healthcare.
But will they?
Donald Trump has never read a book. Back in the late 80’s when this interview aired, he was too busy partying & raping kids with Epstein.
The most shocking thing he’s done. We also hope she succeeds.
Also a sign that RFK and MAHA are on their back foot.
Keep it up everyone.
Iran’s Parliament Speaker MB Ghalibaf accuses Trump of lying, saying he made “seven claims in one hour, all false.” He adds Iran—not the U.S.—will control the Strait of Hormuz, with ships requiring “Iranian authorization” to pass.
NEW: The front-runner to become the nation’s next vaccine chief has called the mRNA COVID shots “experimental genetic technology,” compared the pandemic response to Iranian rule, and branded pandemic awareness a “COVIDian religion.”

It’s all worse than it looks, and it looks abominable
Don't forget to add these expenses onto the cost of plane:
- maintenance
- fuel
- insurance
- pilot and staff
- rent a hanger for storage
All will be paid for by Ontarians!
So Doug is all for "the little guy", right???🤬
