Toronto Liberal MPs need to prioritize constituents over jets in Billy Bishop Airport battle - The Hill Times

“Stopping this jet scheme should be a no-brainer. It wouldn’t require complicated or costly strategies or consultation processes on the part of the federal government. All it would take is Ottawa saying that it doesn’t support the move. End of story.”

MAGA man calls ICE to detain auto mechanic after car is fixed—to avoid paying him. Agents shoot the man with pepper spray—after he is already on the ground handcuffed. "He called ICE to my house to arrest my father in order to avoid paying for work he completed on his cars," his daughter said.

The Trump regime is pushing for a new rule that could strip as many as 400,000 low-income adults with disabilities of hundreds of dollars per month in assistance. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress just introduced a plan to use taxpayer money to fund Trump's vanity ballroom. Do I have this right?

There is no special relationship. There hasn't been one for a very long time, if ever. Instead, there's a parasocial relationship, in which the UK government imagines it's involved in ways the other partner doesn't recognise. States have interests, not preferences. They don't love. They calculate.

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Just a reminder… While Smith and Lagrange are talking about the biggest factors influencing health outcomes and why they’re profitizing Alberta’s healthcare… The #1 factor that determines health outcomes is made worse by the policy. It’s poverty.

Yes! Egads I wrote this 10 years ago. Well, at least they kept farming during that time. Spookiest landscape in GTA (then anyway - pickup trucks w shadowy federal men patrolling, very Stranger Things!) There's even an active rail link passing thru ... could be local-agro-tourism
