Exclusive: Alberta’s chief justice is investigating the conduct of two judges after we revealed evidence suggesting they gave money to the ruling United Conservative Party after being appointed to the provincial court bench. zurl.co/GErEQ #abpoli

The allegations in this are scathing. The school denies them. However, many of the emails are quite damning.

This is cruel, disgusting, shameful, and illegal treatment.

It’s #MysteryMonday! This 1920s photo from #HfxArchives shows Halifax Fire Department members lined up in their pumper engines, with others perched high on aerial ladders above the street. Can you guess which street they’re on?

"..being in-your-face horrific is Donny’s brand. ...and yeah, MAGA does in fact gobble that shit right down. why? because Dear Leader has, by example, given the worst people in the world permission to be the worst versions of themselves."

This, but also more broadly, 🇺🇸 media/political discourse has, for decades now, simply not treated any international obligations of the US government as binding. It's not even discussed in re: tariffs & the WTO, threatening to invade NATO allies, withdrawing from Paris/JCPOA, etc. This is a choice.

For 10s of millions of Americans, politics is just "shopping with your vote for people who will play pretend & act as if your preferred conspiracy theory is real." The fantasy could be "immigrants are taking our jobs" or "random chemical causes all our problems"--the process is the same.

Let's cheer the Canadian women dominating world rugby. They had to crowd source to raise the money to even get into the tournament. Nobody took them seriously. They crushed the New Zealand giants. They are going into the finals. Come on fellow Canucks - is the real miracle team. So proud.

See? Trump is what happens when people don’t care. They don’t care if he lies, cheats, steals, rapes, breaks the law, or makes a gazillion dollars while in office. They wouldn’t care if he’s a pedophile, or if he shot someone in the middle of NYC. He’s their retribution. Period. Right Megyn Kelly?

Enjoy - @bonniecritchley.bsky.social doesn’t bullshit youtu.be/xOiFVHHrmrs?...

This is the only way I can stand reading the news these days--when it's filtered through Jeff Tiedrich.

This is what happens when you make Biff Tannen president.

The road to authoritarianism is paved with cynicism

I'm perfectly fine with beer in cans. What I hate are the big cans. It's been nice to see a few more small cans available from the craft brewers here. Still not enough as far as I'm concerned.

Good to refer back to this detailed analysis when the budget is tabled. One thing is certain: the majority of Canadians do not want another election right now. Also, PP will never grow to be a real boy, much less a mature man. He is forever a weasel.

It's at the 3 minute mark. I hate the look of these YouTube video still shots with the side by sides and arrows, so I usually don't share these videos, but this one's worth it.

Canadian novelist Stephen Marche, host of Gloves Off podcast, told CBC that U.S. ambassador Hoekstra "is the person you send to a country to alienate it. He is a person who obviously has no interest in maintaining really decent U.S.-Canadian relations." #cdnpoli #uspoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

hey, everyone! I found the dumbest person on bluesky

THERE WAS A "SHITLOAD" OF STUPID THIS WEEK — AND SO MUCH OF THE STUPID CENTERED AROUND CHARLIE KIRK. AND NO, I WAS NOT RESPECTFUL. MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT NO ONE CHRONICLES THE STUPID LIKE YOUR FAVORITE WRITER JEFF TIEDRICH (ME!). THANK YOU FOR READING "THIS WEEK IN STUPID" HERE: bit.ly/4gy3hCH

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

The Macdonald Bridge is closed this weekend (this includes the Bike and Pedestrian Lanes) Here's the note for folks using Active Transit, and would usually take the Macdonald: #HFXTraffic

“I’m shocked you would make that claim” 😕🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤦🏼‍♀️ Another one that hasn’t aged great. (Her condescending looks really seal the deal)

It feels like we're all being forced to be in a bad movie that films all day long, seven days a week.

We can't confirm what his motive was. But this was inappropriate behavior for anyone with the title of "The Honourable". Personally, I think we should get rid of these titles, if for no other reason than because people like him and PP continue to make a mockery of it. Why presume anyone deserves it?

Canada places 200% tariff on little Canadian flags Americans wear while travelling

GSK, the British pharmaceutical company, is the latest to join the club. The company has pledged to invest $30 billion in establishing manufacturing, research, and supply chain facilities in the US over the next 5 years. The announcement came on Sept. 17, during Trump’s recent 3-day visit to the UK.

We knew things were going to get more and more stupid and awful. We just didn't know exactly how.

This is state-sponsored media shit. Absolutely, shocking, insane dictator overreach

This is really dumb. This is going to cost the public more money. Period. Financial Times is basically saying that the public needs to employ people to buy lunch from downtown businesses. Is that their mandate? Can't we convert offices to apartments? And, no, office collaboration is not happening.

Do you have diabetes? Would you like to GET diabetes? Denny's has you covered.

Today, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May and Senator Marilou McPhedran came together to champion Vote 16 and expand the voting age, giving young people the power to shape their futures. #BillS222

"...the board of Tesla isn’t going to fire Elon. Oh no. They’re looking to give him a raise." "Is that the way things work at your office? You go AWOL, do a bunch of stuff that tanks the business, and your bosses say, 'Would you stop screwing up if we pay you more?'”

"If it’s caught early, the disease can be cured with benznidazole or nifurtimox, medicines that kill the parasite. But the drugs become less effective the longer a person has been infected, and most people remain unaware of the disease."

I wish we could volunteer to be screened. I imagine they'll do it randomly, though.

NEW from me: I spoke with CNN's Omar Jimenez about his new podcast, which dives into the 20-plus-year torture campaign by the Chicago police, who used brutal tactics to coerce false confessions from Black men and women. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I'm not surprised by any of this. I'm amazed at how many people still choose the stressful & financially straining choice to have children right now, especially when companies are making it even more difficult to balance work & family. So it's obvious that many people still DESIRE parenthood.

Our bird feeder ran empty while we were away for the weekend and I came back to it’s camera roll full of disappointed looking birds

Thorough, yet simple explanation.

Someone told me it only took them an hour and 15 minutes to get to work today but it usually takes them an hour and a half with the traffic. What the hell are we doing as a society? This is insanity, folks.

Why do Halifax police need more money? They could just hang out on Inglis St and cash in on noise vehicle violation tickets. I suspect most residents would applaud them.
