The Winter Olympics are running out of winter
Warming winters are reducing the number of places that can host the Winter Olympics and Paralympics and could soon force the games to be held earlier in the winter, a new Canadian-led study finds.

I wish there was even a quarter as much political and public scrutiny over costs from maintaining and resurfacing ludicrously wide roads, often twice the width or more required. I mean do these sticks and concrete look prohibitively expensive?

Back in my day you just tied an onion to your antenna to show you were from the countryside. In those days loonies were paper and you'd say give me 4 moose for this goose. The goose being a nickname for the queen who was on the bill and was a real looker at the time

It's that old saw: If one side says it's raining, and another side says it's not, a journalist's job is not to quote them both. IT'S TO OPEN THE DAMN WINDOW AND REPORT WHAT THEY SEE.

Drop the names of any Canadian companies you’ve seen working with ICE in the comments. I’m aware of Gardaworld, Roshel, Hootsuite. Would love to gather any and all other names.

People are definitely setting up a barricade of trash cans and this couch, in the middle of the street where ICE is. "That's my couch," said a woman standing nearby. "It's been on my porch for four years because it won't fit up the stairs. My neighbor will be pleased it's gone now."

Short of getting caught orchestrating a coup or assassination, this is absolutely the core case of what you expel an ambassador for.

Let’s be clear — if Trump doesn’t end up invading Greenland, or doesn’t end up doing any other of his seemingly unlimited batshit insane, illegal and corrupt crimes, it WON’T be “evidence that we were overreacting.” It will ONLY be BECAUSE WE DIDN’T UNDER-REACT.
