Why does anyone even bother to cover this stuff? Does anyone care what Poilievre thinks?
Sure, Doug.

This is a valid point: whenever you see this sort of high-pressure sales tactic turned on a technology, you can be CERTAIN that it's a fake—actually useful new tech sells itself!
And don't underestimate the effectiveness of FOMO as a tool in the hands of a con artist.
We can't have heathcare, education, or OSAP, but we can have a gravy plane, billion dollar destructive changes to the Toronto Island airport to accommodate the gravy plane, a private spa, a tunnel under the 401, etc. Ford is a thief.
So this is why we need the Island airport expansion. 😠
I really enjoyed listening to Venomous Lumpsucker by Ned Beauman. Also the Rivers of London books by Ben Aaronovitch are a joy to listen to.
Facts spoken by an ex-trumper...
From Fortune magazine. Even the capitalists are starting to get it.

“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.” ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Except for that one person in the early '80s playing Siouxsie and the Banshees' Arabian Nights on a boombox as the Queen streetcar wended its way magically through neon-lit night time Toronto. Everyone fell silent and sat entranced, watching the city glide by.
Today's #OnPoli must-read.
"Now Doug Ford wants to curtail the power of freedom of information (FOI) requests. In my opinion, there is only one reason a politician would do that: he and his team are feeling the heat of accountability for things they really don’t want in the public eye."
How about a cuttlefish?
NEW: Doug Ford says his transparency clampdown is "only controversial with two groups: the media and with the opposition."
A new poll commissioned by CUPE and conducted by Abacus suggests that's not actually true. #OnPoli

Oh hell yes, someone is doing proper accountability on Doug Ford. #ONPoli

We were taken to a pioneer cemetery in Scarborough in grade 6 to take gravestone rubbings. The Science Centre trips were the best though!
I'm going to start a daily practice of phoning Ford's feedback line to talk about the gambit to protect his government from freedom of information requests and also his cuts to OSAP, his destruction of our Healthcare system and promotion of private clinics, the Science Center and Ontario Place, etc.
“The extent of Canada’s problem with far-right extremism stared me in the face on an ordinary Wednesday night.” 🇨🇦
After The Tyee published @rachelgilmore.bsky.social’s report on a white nationalist club meeting at a Montreal gym, today she reports the fallout.
Did anyone think he had?
Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music
Several dozen folks did
Some even dubbed music over the original clip.
I haven't been able to get this out of my head.
So I give you

This quote has been with me every day since I first heard it and I love her so much for saying it.
This story needs to be read by everyone. Google Gemini coached this man to kill others and then himself, all so that he could be together with the AI in a pocket universe after death.
Just your regularly scheduled share of this masterpiece by @tomgauld.bsky.social
Ok so turns out this is a meta-scam to get people to switch to other competitors. Just stop using any and all of these harmful scam products. Thank you ❤️
A plastic toy from the 70s called a Weeble. It is an egg-shaped toy designed with a weighted bottom-center. When tilted, the center of mass is raised, and upon release, gravity returns the toy to its original upright position. This one has a pale round face and blond hair and looks like it’s about to tell Ontario's to buy an egg sammich from Timmie's instead of doing anything at all useful to help the people in his province.
As you prepare to head back to work tomorrow, please spare a thought for Doug Ford who has only four weeks left of his 14-week vacation before he starts playing hooky and skipping out of work early at Queen's Park.
