spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

The Lexus ad where they show a family over the years & their car goes from a reasonable sedan to a bloated SUV with oversized hood by the end. It accidentally tells the story of why pedestrian fatalities have been rising.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

I am buoyed by the community who stood in the cold to say they don’t support Lansdowne 2.0. Ottawa deserves better, and so do women’s hockey fans. There is no stadium emergency. This plan is built on financial fiction and my grandkids will still be paying for it. I will vote no with my whole heart.

Hey remind me, has Pierre Poilievre finally completed his standard security check yet and managed to get the normal, standard security clearance that everyone else even close to his position has? No? STILL REFUSES TO? Hmm. Wonder what the REAL reason for that is?

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview. This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association. I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
