“The Star reported earlier this year that in 2024, Ontario burned more natural gas to make electricity than at any time since the 1990s, eroding the province's oft-bragged "clean energy advantage." Ontario had a 96 per cent carbon-free electrical grid in 2017; it is now only 84 per cent clean.”

That’s my sister! Congratulations April! apple.news/A-DG0o5wVSL2...

Canada’s participation in Eurovision should be considered a military expense: a secret weapon in our charm offensive!

The destruction of empathy which is part of the so-called ‘War on Woke’ is a vital component that allows the radical right to rise. Swathes of a population must be numbed to the suffering that they want to inflict on minorities and society.

I am lucky to have grown-up when Frankenfurter, the sweet transvestite from transsexual transalvania, was playing in the repertoire as the late show every Friday. With heroes like that to inspire us, Andrew Tate wouldn’t stand a chance!

In the age of Andrew Tate and toxic masculinity, we should encourage heterosexual teenage boys to explore their “feminine side.” I’m not sure exactly what I mean by feminine, maybe you have a better word. But I think if they try seeing the world differently, they will become better adults.

Trump is not Hitler: Hitler led a putsch and went to prison, Trump had bone spurs. Hitler had a plan, a cohesive theory and carried it out to its horrific endpoint of evil, Trump actually boasts “I have no plan.” Trump’s deal: give me power you, and I’ll give you power over someone else

Boys dressing up as a woman, a popular Halloween costume of my youth, is banned now at Ontario schools, because it is seen as offensive to trans people. But if we could find a respectful way to do it, I think it would be healthy for boys in this hyper masculine age to try on another gender.

So far I’m hearing a lot more “happy Halloween” than “trick or treat.” I miss the implied menace…

Sunrise Caribbean Restaurants is withholding wages from its employees, foreign students, refugee claimants, vulnerable people. The Ontario government has ordered it to pay but has not enforced the order.

Breaking news: Canada changed the name of the CN Tower to the Donald Trump Greatest Ever Tower in move to restart tariff negotiations!

Listening to the Blue Jays reminds me that baseball is the sport best suited to listening on the radio. It is easy to create a mental picture, because there is a single focal point of action which resets every play, unlike sports like hockey or soccer with multiple simultaneous contests. 1/2

So many have been baffled by Trump‘s obsession with tariffs. Tariffs is the economic system by which he can gain the greatest power and influence. It’s that simple. Trump is only interested in personal power. His deal to his constituents: give me power over you, I’ll give you power over others.

The Liberals promised to end boil water advisories on First Nations. They didn’t. Auditor General Karen Hogan says the government's record on water was the most disappointing failure she found in her audit. Hear the full discussion on the latest APTN Nation to Nation: youtu.be/xQ9LvNMVf7s?...

Toronto Star contributor, Dimitri Soudas, says Poilievre’s inflammatory rhetoric “undermines our confidence in the justice system, our federal police and ultimately the crown,” showing “a leadership approach rooted in recklessness rather than governance.”

We cannot let the present situation stop us from believing in the better side of humanity. It is in our nature to cooperate with each other. Diversity is the greatest human asset. These are fundamental beliefs that all progressives should embrace.

Even if we compare ourselves to other bipedals, humans are slow (and weak) And how many of us could run at 24 kms long enough to outlast a predator? We suck! youtu.be/90OC4TQ7uHc?... (Humans only survived through cooperation. Cooperation is part of human nature.)

I love listening to the Debaters; the well-meaning debate is my favourite form of comedy, even when the jokes don’t come off, it plays on ideas, and I love the underlying niceness. Steve Patterson is the best. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

From the Globe and Mail: “Mr. Carney was effusive in his praise of Mr. Trump, calling him a “transformative president” both at home and abroad through his ability to strike “unprecedented” peace deals with several countries and who had achieved economic success.” Ugh. Vomit emoji.

If I could convince carney to take on one national mega project, it would be to blanket the rooftops of Canada with solar panels. We’d automatically become an energy superpower.

Can somebody please tell me where the Democrats stand on Gaza? How are they going to contain Israel? What is the vision and plan? I mean that seriously.

#stevecoogan #alanpartrigde I’ve watched a lot of Alan Partridge lately. I often don’t understand the cultural references. I imagine that I’m living in Britain while I’m listening to it, and learning another culture. Greetings from Canada!

I’ve recently been on crutches, and it’s been heartwarming that so many strangers were kind to me, holding doors open, offering to carry things, also sharing stories of their accidents..

#suicide #mentalhealth 20 yrs ago: a close friend attempted suicide by throwing himself in front of a truck. The truck miraculously stopped. Now: happy, prosperous, great wife and boy, playing sports and music with lifelong friends. Thank god he hadn’t owned a gun in that dark moment.
