I want to see this course and take the test. I have no kids, but I want to see how this is taught.

I also desperately want to see Doug Ford do this and publish his test results.

I want to see an analysis on politicians and profitability.

How much "loss" do fire departments report annually? Police? The armed forces? Roads? Schools? Solid waste collection? Wastewater treatment? Public health agencies?

At least, like the Cybertrucks, they are hideous.

Fact check: Ford presides over the largest and most expensive Premier's Office in Ontario or Canadian history.

Ha, I had a video appointment the other day, and Hector helped by tearing around meowing in the background.

Partner amd I took a walk that went behind the Forbes mansion in Hespeler. With the grounds cleared of trees for construction, we saw the mansion from the back for the first time ever. We also saw the remains of the dovecote. Hopefully it gets rebuilt as promised in the park.

I keep thinking about the Rick Mercer skit about it being 18 next week...

Doug Ford backs off government plane purchase, seeks to sell aircraft Just days after announcing plans to buy a private jet, Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the province will now move to sell its newly acquired plane, acknowledging concerns about the timing and cost of t...

If he doesn't sell it for the exact same amount as he bought it, I think Ontarians should have the right to take the difference off of our taxes, idgaf if that's "not how money works"

Hugs, feel better soon.

You can get away with rewearing jeans before washing, but as you can't with underwear or socks you need to bring lots of extra. Just in case.

Happy to see someone else using frozen chopped onions. Best prepared product ever. I get so much mileage out of those.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

At least it was a used jet, not new. Because saving money is important. 🙄

Ontario buys used $28.9M private jet for Doug Ford: sources A senior official confirmed that the province this week took possession of a 2016 Bombardier Challenger 650 executive jet.

Ontario takes over Billy Bishop Airport, promises to build it out for jets despite total lack of business case.

Barely a month later, Ontario buys jet for Doug Ford.

What is a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack? A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt normal traffic to a web property. Learn about DDoS attacks and DDoS protection.

A DDoS attack is like having loads of people turn up uninvited at a party, with the aim of causing chaos - it swamps servers and disrupts services. A hack is a malicious infiltration of systems, ie sneakily getting inside to steal data or infect with ransomware. Useful definition here

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

Journalist plans to create new archive of residential school survivor stories — before it's too late | CBC News A new project from award-winning journalist Connie Walker aims to create an archive of testimonies of abuse at residential schools before the accounts are destroyed in September 2027.

an incredibly important project by Connie Walker — most Canadians don't know that the government has an archive of 38,000 residential school survivor testimonies, which are slated to be destroyed next year www.cbc.ca/news/indigen...

Gas tax breaks are bandaids at best. Real solution is to help low & middle-income Cdns get off fossil fuels. Invest in solar, heat pumps, batteries, EVs. Tackle barriers, offer real incentives & fund w/ windfall tax on Big Oil (who are laughing all the way to the bank). Cleaner, cheaper, healthier.

Call me crazy but I don't love the new reality of Canada essentially being run by the Conservative Lite™ Party with only the Conservative Normal™ Party to fecklessly scream at them for the next three years! It's not, I think, ideal!

It’s not just the grocers, it’s the manufacturers of food products too. They’re all cheating us because govt lets them. 🤬

With the added bonus of not having funds for the things the taxes would pay for.

Eliminating libraries in prisons is a disaster, completely shortsighted. Libraries are a lifeline for incarcerated people who want to learn and grow, and have few other options.

But climate change is a myth. Feels like 27 in April is totally normal. 😒

Canadian history is important, but only the exciting cheap bits.

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau at Coachella

Orbán Viktor @PM_ViktorOrban Had a great meeting today with @IDUAlliance Chairman @stephenharper. International cooperation between right-wing, conservative parties is more important than ever. Chairman Harper is a great ally in this respect. Thank you for your support, Mr. Chairman! Orbán Viktor

It's kinda interesting to think about how differently Justin Trudeau and Stephen Harper have spent their retirement years

Something something false idols something something

One last point: When governments talk about "age verification," they also mean "identity verification"

So even if you're 55 years old, you will be virtually carded and all your social media activity will be linked to your identity. That means no online anonymity and raises privacy issues for adults

One of the comments to this is like “of all the things to be mad about, not being able to get a credit card is low down the list” and y’all being able to leave shitty men is so important and cannot be done without money.

A dark, textured background with handwritten-style white text that reads: “Maybe yesterday made you feel defeated… but today is here to give you another chance. So please don’t waste it. Do something truly important. Pet a kitty.” In the bottom right corner, a fluffy black cat with big round white eyes looks forward. A speech bubble next to the cat adds: “And feel less shitty.”
