I just keep thinking about this. Ford loves to pound people to shit and strut across their political bodies. All the name calling. The Lefties. Socialists. Cyclists. Gravy eaters.

I learned today that there is no age cut off for emergency personnel to perform mandatory cpr on a deceased 90+ person, unless there is a dnr document present.

This protocol they have to follow is traumatizing for all involved.

Small town rural Ontario. Is it like this everywhere in Canada?

Last week, we broke ground on the Port of Montréal’s terminal expansion at Contrecœur.

We’re building fast, building big, and building Canada strong.

Shawn Micallef: Artemis II rekindled our interest in space — which makes the loss of this Toronto landmark hit that much harder Artemis II returns to Earth even as crews demolish the McLaughlin Planetarium, the symbol of a bygone era of enthusiasm for space exploration.

In @thestar.com today I wrote about the dreamy rekindling of space travel coinciding w Toronto’s terrestrial tear down of a communal place to share the Dark Side of the Moon.

Are you watching, Ontario? Check out Hungary's election.

This is how you rid yourself of a bombastic megalomaniac before he hobbles your democracy in cold vacuum of obscurity: YOU SHOW UP ON VOTING DAY!

The idea that the rest of the world should do something about Trump, but it's completely ridiculous to expect the American people to do something about Trump, really is the perfect distillation of the American mindset.
