I hope he gets even more calls about laying off privatising water in Ontario. Yes, privatise water, like electricity.

well, he does go to Florida with his family...

No wonder he wants his phone calls hidden from voters: he's lying!

It's by actually going to talk to rural voters (who had been given much more voting weight than urban ones) and discussing economic issues that impacted them that Magyar beat Orban in Hungary.

Québec owns private jets, for medical transport of far-flung citizens.

This will not stop when the Crazy Orange is gone, since every normality, everything that worked in international relations will be gone before.

And if you want something even simpler, try Savoy cabbage cut in large strips, blanched in the microwave for 6 minutes, drained, then sauteed (without browning) in lots of butter, salt and pepper to taste = embeurrée de chou. Delicious!

Mango and Prosciutto. Minestrone alla Massimo Capra and foccaccia made by DH.

Let's pay less attention to what he says and tweets, and more attention to what Murrica actually *does*. All this insane distraction is veiling the evil actions of Project 2025 and other neo-feudalists.

(Despite economic decline), US remained a foremost power because it spends a lot on... military and continues to lead in science, finance and intellectual property. Those more or less intangible assets... are what is currently at risk because of Trump's presidency.

“There’s something kind of perversely ironic about a premier who’s been elected as city councillor, an MP, leader of a party and one of the hallmarks of his time at Queens Park has actually been to reduce representation.” @petermacleod.bsky.social

If we don't have a national broadcaster (like more developped countries have, I believe), then we'll have only commercial networks owned by U.S. conglomerates, with no responsibility to the public, very little mandate to produce Canadian content, and a tendency to erode professional news.

Phew!

@holland-tom.bsky.social I'm currently reading Dynasty: The Rise and Fall of the House of Caesar. I'm in the Caligula chapter, where he stops pretending that Rome is a Republic, ruled by the Senate and he terrorizes all the corrupt upper class into bowing down to all his whims. Sounds familiar...

Curiously, I'm currently reading Dynasty: The Rise and Fall of the House of Caesar by Tom Holland. I'm in the Caligula chapter. Where he stops pretending that Rome is a Republic, that the Senate rules it and terrorizes all the corrupt upper class into bowing down to all his whims. Sounds familiar...

Photo of a grey, sheer cliff face. The surface looks like it’s comprised of puzzle pieces. Blue sky is visible at the top of the photo.

Coastal hiking in Newfoundland, Canada is a treat for the eyes. Another view (last week) of the seaside cliffs near my hometown in Conception Bay North. #hiking #trail #ediacaran

Gravy plane aka Air Ford One. How much will we lose on that?

Ontario gov will now sell Air Ford One. "As soon as possible" Dougie says. When is that? I bet he'll sell it at a loss, *our* loss. There will be another destructive boondoggle soon!
He pretends to be Cap't Canada, but he's MAGA to the core. More corruption, privatisation, de-democratisation coming.

"As soon as possible" he said. When will that be? Also, sell at a loss, I wouldn't be surprised. He will keep trying: he backed down on Greenbelt, then doubled down on Conservation authorities. He's backed down on Air Ford One, let's see what else he revenges himself on.

Another vote for science.
