The Canadian in America that we most dislike? Lots of competition: Elon Musk, Ted Cruz, Jordan Peterson, Gavin McInnes...the list goes on. And frankly, Gretzky doesn't even warrant a place on it.

The people also don't want the FOI change, but Ford is all "lalala can't hear you" on that...

Ford isn't conservative, he's corrupt. Those two things have become synonymous in today's conservative parties, but they are ideologically different. Carney is governing like a Harper conservative.

The fact that he's about to plant one on her ear is a pretty clear indication that she intentionally turned her face away from him to avoid his kiss.

Torontonians should be suing John Tory for the extra $350m that he stuck us with by secretly pushing ahead with a deal that would never have happened if he'd followed Council direction and the clear recommendations of his own advisory body. Why this hasn't blown up as a major scandal is beyond me.

Opinion | Anthropic’s Restraint Is a Terrifying Warning Sign

WTF is he even talking about. AI companies have already created the monster that will destroy the world as we know it. He's talking about AI like it's a product that doesn't already exist and is something that can respects borders and boundaries & can be controlled.

The solution is obviously to just ban social media altogether. It would solve so, so many problems.

He also stands like a marionette with a bored puppeteer pulling the strings. Which is fitting, I think.

Should've been named Cinema Shit, not Cinema Shift. So who is organizing the documentary filmmakers and Hot Docs audience members to boycott this??

I wonder if I would be as surprised in 2016 to learn that Mark Carney is a tiny man in a tiny suit as I was to learn that just now??

They've agreed to it: bsky.app/profile/just...

Schumer was just offended that Trump said the quiet part out loud. But at least he's not actively hijacking the Dem's efforts for the zillionth time. Sigh.

Maybe not the best headline for a day when bombs are continuing to rain down and the clock is ticking on a threat of imminent nuclear war. Just sayin'.

Excuse me, but why is this pedophile allowed anywhere near children?!

Assless chaps?

He's also a sociopath and personally profiting from it financially, so he cares less about outcomes, so long as the result is money flowing into his pocket.

SO DID I! Must be the same guy!

Yet another part of Hegseth's effort to turn the military into a religious terror group by enabling service members to use weapons against other service members who won't fall in line/follow illegal orders? This combined with the firings of top Army officials is truly terrifying.

Grey's Anatomy did it first 22 years ago and is still doing it. The fact that it isn't more commonplace today says everything about the world we're living in, sadly.

A Secret History of Psychosis

Last summer, I received a manuscript in the mail from a 32-year-old man who wanted to tell me the story of his psychosis -- how close he came to killing his dad, and how, when it passed, they put the pieces of their relationship back together. Here it is.

Agree. I also hope he can figure out how to breathe new life into left-wing politics without filling my inbox with a bazillion NDP emails and my phone with text messages. I can't fathom that this approach to "organizing" is effective given how effectively it repels me...I can't be the only one!

Yup. This is a true Build Canada Strong strategy. Instead, Carney is pursuing an Orwellian-named strategy that is actually a Make Canada Weaker strategy.

do you have access to OHIP? Do you have a doctor? Of you can get a referral from your doctor, you might be able to access free therapy through CAMH. It's not easy, but it is possible.

There are three names on that list that are far stupider (and similarly stupid) than the others. All three are Grimes' kids. So either the stupidity of Elon's baby naming is escalating, or she is at least partly responsible for the even stupider names.

Is he though? Polls show a consistent 30% support for anything and everything Trump does. That is a very, very solid number to be starting with.

Right. And I left out the "Christian" wingnuts wanting to expedite the end of the world. Sigh. How to run a pluralist democracy when 30%--a seriously significant amount--of the population are effectively sociopathic, treasonous, fascists, is THE question we need to be asking.

This after a Christmas with Trump recommending fewer dolls and pencils for your kids. And still, 30% of Americans steadfastly support Trump and everything he does. So those are all steadfast misogynists, racists, transphobes, and/or direct beneficiaries of Trump admin corruption?
