the momentum is there. people hate these things. politicians need to pull it together and enact the political will of their constituents. those big tech checks will clear today but will it be enough to buy your next election?

Today, the Liberals rejected our NDP motion to ban surveillance pricing - a dystopian practice that will drive up costs for Canadians if we allow it to take root.
The NDP is the only party fighting to protect you from getting ripped off at the checkout.

It’s endlessly hilarious that they fill so many column inches complaining about how much attention is paid to Justin Trudeau on social media. I learned it from watching you dad!!!!

Back when i worked in banking, most cases of financial elder abuse are adult children of elderly people. I am mad i didn't even think of this as an abuse vector.
Not only did the sons probably call ICE on her, the day after her husband died they took their dad's cars, leaving her housebound. Then they rerouted mail, causing her to miss a visa appointment & the utilities to be turned off. Tony and Gary Ross are going to hell.

She is just an utterly contemptible bigoted crybully, the way she made a homophobic attack at a public meeting on someone and then made a code of conduct complaint when he described it to someone else. Just pathetic. Loves to dish it out, cannot fucking take even her own words.
Absolute fire from @theincline.email today about nasty homophobic piece of shit Kelly Oucharek running for council. Maybe the most despicable person in this city right now. theincline.email/p/the-rat-king

This nineteenth-century ivory netsuke by Hōjitsu depicts a Sambasō dancer, a figure traditionally associated with ritual celebrations and the ushering in of good fortune. The carving captures the performer in a characteristically lively, bent-knee stance, wearing a dark, expressive Okina mask and a tall, ridged hat. The dancer’s expansive sleeves are finely engraved with symbolic motifs of longevity and endurance, including a soaring crane and evergreen pine branches, rendered with the meticulous precision typical of high-quality Edo and Meiji period ivory work.

201. Monmouth poll of New Jersey diner patrons, 2007: "Many diner waitresses in New Jersey call their customers 'Hun'. Do you like when this happens to you, dislike it, don't care much either way, or doesn't this happen to you?"
(Bonus: fav diner order?)
The long game of “well we’ll just have to have a minority democracy if we keep one at all, but this democracy is gonna go” from the right was three- and four-decade obvious, just like the demographic destiny was.
It was worst in the place it hit hardest. Election stuff. Just childlike unprepared. Wisconsin had really heralded a massive change no one was paying any attention to and they were a good DECADE down the road by then

Linda Yaccarino replies to a Zohran Mamdani tweet to say that taxing rich people's penthouses is "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen"
Zohran Mamdani said he's going to start taxing rich people who buy luxury housing in NYC but don't actually live in there, and the former CEO of Twitter/X called it "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen."
Lmaoooooo what a headline
