Interesting. I wonder how long it takes to pay back the capital cost on as small Texas home?

I don't understand people who still believe the administration's claims that prices are going down, when it's completely apparent to anyone buying almost anything that virtually all prices are up

Asshats of the day: Danion Chevalier of Quincy, Illinois, and Michael Calteaux of Winona, Minnesota, both pleaded guilty to shooting a bull moose from a motorboat in the Ontario Court of Justice. #cdnpoli #onpoli #canada #boycottusa shorturl.at/Pk5xR

Strangely, the "Ukrainian Peace Plan", negotiated one-on-one between the USA and Russia, *exceeds* Russian demands and fails to consider anyone else's view 😥😡

Just a note: it's hardly "pro life" to deny mothers & children healthcare and food 😥😡

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” John Cassidy writes. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/mlYgP3

Yikes CAQ - 250+ doctors plan to leave Quebec. Thanks to Bill C-2. Fines up to $500,000 if doctors speak up against this bill. We need to stop electing people so out of touch with the commons. Re-tweet and like. Because this is gross negligence. #CDNpoli #QCpoli

If you want a real-time case study on vaccines: 🩵 Newfoundland & Labrador: 95% MMR coverage 0 measles cases. ❤️ Alberta: 73% MMR coverage 1900 measles cases (as of Oct 11 2025). It's almost like .... vaccines work #ABhealth #ABpoli #ABleg #AHS #CDNpoli #Measles #VaccinesWork

Australia has so much solar that it’s offering everyone free electricity #auspol #cdnpoli electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

Since 2000, the richest 1% of the world's population has taken 41% of all new wealth. The poorest half of the world has received only 1%.

I'm surprised that Carney's budget seems to rely heavily on AI - or at least talks about AI - as a way to significantly reduce the cost of government. Especially since an (MIT?) study estimates 95% of companies adopting AI see no benefit at all.

Why does it seem that the only news agency covering the impact of government policies on average Americans is NPR? And if I hear anything damaging or embarrassing to the government, it's usually from The Guardian (UK) or Australia? 😥

I don't like that Carney apologized to Trump in any way for Ford's ad. Now Trump is declaring Canada posted lies, when really the ad itself was true. Still, 2 things; 1) I guess in politics sometimes you have to do the unpalatable, and 2) Canadians say sorry all the time, even when they're not ❤️ 🇨🇦

A New York judge has dismissed a legal challenge from Texas seeking to enforce a civil judgment against a doctor accused of prescribing abortion pills to a Dallas-area woman.

CBC irony on the news this morning: "Listen to the rest of this [recorded] interview Sunday morning on 'Rosie Barron Live' " 😄

So does anyone think someone decided they just couldn't give up the ticket sales for a game 7? <\Sarcasm off>

Imagine a stacked bar graph: y-axis a count for each emoji I used; and x-axis time, say months. It would probably show the trend of my emotional response to social media posts over time. It probably wouldn't show an ever-increasing sunny disposition 😄 Glad I don't know how to collect that data...

USDA data shows that almost 90 percent of SNAP recipients are American-born citizens. The data also shows that deep red states like Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, and Louisiana are among the states with the highest percentage of those in receipt of food stamps.

Trump, angered by Doug Ford's ad quoting Reagan, increases tariffs on Canada. Maybe it's time for *export* tariffs on potash, fossil fuels, electricity, and water? Remember: tariffs always (eventually) get paid by the consumer!

You know what would be neat for AI? A per-country database of ALL promises to the public - both governmental and corporate - that could allow tracking over the years to see to what extent the promises came true or not!

A popular meme: "The 'cloud' is just someone else's computer" My Corollary: "AI is just someone else's opinion" 😄

“America has decided it doesn’t need all these poor people. Or doesn’t need that much cheap labour. So what are they going to do? They are going to cut health services…cut social security. A LOT OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE. That’s a pretty conscious decision.” ~Margaret Atwood #cdnpoli

Didn't the original OSEG Landsdowne proposal promise huge revenues to the City? And hasn't it lost money *every* year? And now the city will be rolling in money (after 2050 or 2070 maybe?) if only they pony up half a billion now?? AND per the mayor, it's disloyal to ask if it'll ever be profitable?

Should I feel less or more suspicious of AI? Despite the AI ads themselve for AI to do accurately targeted advertising, I'm bombarded by egregious, irrelevant ads. 😥😡

It's crazy to me that ICE apprehends people turning up when they're coming for an interview pursuant to their immigration status. There are similar occasions: at schools, hospitals, etc - going after immigrants who are following the rules in pursuit of legal status.

So, did anyone see the summary of Hesgeth's speech to the very top brass of the US military? Scary. But he probably meant it to be.

Indeed. Why is it governments can afford huge subsidies for profit-making businesses, but can't afford anything for services that benefit everyone b/c that'd be "socialism"?? Pay *all* government services what they need *first*, and if there's any left over *then* we can talk about subsidies.

When a government starts trying to cancel dissent or avoid dissent is when it's rapidly losing its moral authority to govern. #Uspoli #Cdnpoli

Norman Rockwell, "Freedom of Speech"

There are valid small-c conservative approaches to today's issues, just as there are valid small-l liberal ones. Sadly, big-C Conservative (and to a lesser extent big-L liberal) rhetoric precludes exploration, compromise, or even raising some issues at all.

When talking about affordable housing, what kind of housing is it that's to be "affordable"? In say 1950, the average family size was just over 3, and the average single family home was about 980 square feet.

Quebec bet big on electrifying their school bus fleet, requiring all new buses to be zero emissions & assembled in Canada - essentially giving a monopoly to a single manufacturer, Lion. A litany of problems - technical & financial - have derailed that initiative.

"Vaccines are safe. They are life-saving, and I would encourage any parent who is concerned about whether or not their child should get a vaccine to talk to their pediatrician to understand the benefits of these life-saving medical products..." — Former CDC director Susan Monarez
