The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

The Conservative argument that the media should focus just as much attention on Nathaniel Erskine-Smith's comments about the budget raises an interesting question: Could a CPC MP dissent from the CPC line as much as NES does from the Liberal party line and remain in the CPC caucus?

The provincial gov is allowing supervisors who replace school board Trustees to earn up to $350,000/year plus $20,000 in expenses. Our 10 Trustees, 3 Student Trustees, association fees, and expenses cost $185,291 in 2023-2024. I thought the gov wanted to save money? globalnews.ca/news/1152049...

I don’t know the background of this footage, but what I do know is there was a time not so long ago that footage like this would be national news. Now footage like this is normal. It’s just another day under the Trump regime.

Warming waters cause corals to “bleach” when these organisms expel symbiotic algae that provide nutrients, oxygen & vibrant colors. The latest global bleaching event - researchers estimate >84% of the planet's coral ecosystems have been affected since Jan 2023 - has made it clear the crisis is now.

I've asked Canada Revenue Agency about this issue before, they won't comment on the activities of individual charities due to the "confidentiality provisions of the Income Tax Act" They note the public can report charities suspected of non-compliant activities here: www.canada.ca/en/revenue-a...

I would still like the Canada Revenue Agency to explain why donations to pay Tamara Lich's legal fees are tax deductible.

The reason why Trump can’t simply say “no” when asked if he will pardon Ghislaine Maxwell is he needs her to continue to cover for him. Giving her hope for a pardon guarantees she will keep her mouth shut about what she knows.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal from Ghislaine Maxwell, a former girlfriend and associate of Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison term. A jury in Manhattan federal court convicted Maxwell in 2021 on charges that included sex trafficking a teenage girl.

The wait for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT to open is THE great Torontonian tradition.

The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%. E-bikes support fewer car trips. V @lloydalter.bsky.social

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have. I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

Tom Homan, now the president’s border czar, was recorded last year accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash by undercover FBI agents in an investigation the Trump Justice Department later closed, The New York Times reported.

“Trump require Pentagon journalists to pledge they won’t gather any info — even unclassified — not expressly authorized for release, and will revoke the press credentials of those who do not obey.” So no more journalism-ing at the Pentagon. Got it. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Someone asked if I was ready for the fall, and it actually took me a moment to realize that they meant autumn, not the complete collapse of democracy.

That was fast. This is also why you don’t surrender to autocrats - you fight them and beat them.

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.
