“We can’t go on with Canada Post losing $10M a day and the Canadian taxpayers footing the bill” How much did we spend maintaining our road network last year? How much profit did *it* make?

Where is the "Pregnant women who use Turbo Tax" study.

We could also be the Liberal Party of Canada, the UK Labour Party, and most major news outlets.

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

Still laughing at the irony of the PEI gov’t putting out a radio ad telling me to “plan ahead” because the road construction project they announced 17 weeks ago that was to start 11 weeks ago and be done 2 weeks ago is today finally getting underway.

he was a champion of free speech and if you disagree youre under arrest

So from all of these headlines: I’m concluding that an autonomous vehicle, a SUV took it upon itself to drive through a window, into a classroom, crash into children and adults and kill one of them. Will police hold the manufacture responsible? Why remove the driver from this? #WordsMatter

I had to look up who or what this apparent backlash was in response to, and I was absolutely not prepared for what I found.

I think the great hope here is that nothing migrates *from* their balls

May we all be blessed with civic leadership that loves their community as openly and unashamedly as Zohran Mamdani appears to love his

Conservatives basically have a moral disability -- a pathological inability to extend empathy beyond their immediate circle -- and they don't even have the good sense to be embarrassed about it.

Silver anniversary celebration with my grandparents’ silver goblets. Time’s fun when you’re having flies, or something like that.

This is completely wrong. City streets are paid for through the municipal budget, which is overwhelmingly funded by property taxes. Gas taxes go to the federal and provincial governments, and vehicle registration fees go to the province, which builds rural roads, not city streets.

Just let the dogs out for their final bathroom break of the day, and the smell of impending rain mixed with the smell of wildfire smoke was something I was not prepared for. What a strange time to be alive.

Hypothetically, if I was driving through New Brunswick on a Tuesday and was looking for a spot for a casual sit-down lunch somewhere in or between Moncton and Saint John, where would I go?

"The other is a new roundabout at Stratford Road and Glen Stewart Drive... Construction of the roundabout is expected to begin in the summer, after the school year ends and be completed before classes resume in September. " Or maybe they'll lose interest and skip the whole thing. Who's to say.

I’m not sure that marketing thought this one all the way through

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Tom Lehrer was such an influence on my preschool life that I spent a lot of our family vacation when I was 6 singing “Smut” as my parents drove around the Cabot Trail questioning their parenting choices.

A roadside campaign sign. For a provincial party leadership race. Really? Really?!?!

Headed outside earlier to see the cat lying in the middle of the garlic patch. This is the belt and suspenders approach to vampire prevention.

I first moved to Ottawa in 1991, and if there’s been one constant since that time it’s that their CFL franchise has really known how to make each and every fan feel like an athletic supporter.

It's also funny in a not so funny way because there's a really popular quote "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it" and given our current predicament, it's pretty safe to say White folks are some real boneheads.

Bank robbers also wear masks to “protect themselves from doxxing.” It’s a common practice with many types of criminals, for many types of crimes.

I have a feeling that the province is going to regret frittering away the first non-school week for construction of the Glen Stewart roundabout. I also have a feeling that Stratford commuters are going to regret it considerably more.

They’re lying by the very terms they themselves set. They’re out of focus within their own frame. We know it, whatever some pretend. Here's my point: Those who follow recipes intend to make the dish. Those who remain neutral about it want the dish made for them. www.the-reframe.com/they-know-ex...

I do not have a degree in Economics, but I do have a grasp on the concept of opportunity cost, and therefore wholeheartedly agree that what we choose to spend money on matters at least as much as how much gets spent.

We would be a better country if we were influenced more by the French than the Brits.

As we drove through the city my niece asked: “why is that woman in a mask?” so I replied: “some people try to take care of other people,” and as we kept driving my niece asked: “why is that man in a tent?” so I replied: “not enough people try to take care of other people.”

So on Tuesday at lunch I was at the Walmart in Summerside, and when I came out the smoke from a motorhome fire at the gas station next door was wafting in my direction. We went home via Rte 2, and shortly thereafter there was a structure fire near the Cavendish plant. And then today…

The road was under tremendous stress as it heard planners talking about bike lanes a few days earlier.

She was briefly exposed to kindness.

Walking to the grocery store at this time of the morning on a school day makes a fellow realize just how much he needs a shark fin on the top of his bicycle helmet

In the linked essay, I mention Nancy Mace's standard TERF question, asked most recently to Tim Walz: "What is a woman?" My answer is simple. A woman is not a *what.* A woman is a *who.* I want to expand a bit from the essay on what I think this matters. www.the-reframe.com/shows-of-wea...

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

Do not cram alt text with keywords just to improve search engine optimization. This will hinder alt text’s true purpose: improving accessibility. Focus on describing the photo's content. Search engine optimization should not be the goal for writing good alt text.

Bike lanes aren’t the cause of congestion anymore than tent encampments are the cause of homelessness. They are symptoms of larger issues, and removing them won’t solve those issues either.

Canada Attempted To Build Something And You'll Never Guess What Happened Next

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

is chatgpt down for anyone else? i'm a policy analyst in the middle of producing a think piece

The problem that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney may have while working with Canada’s provincial premiers is that the more Alberta Premier Danielle Smith speaks positively about his approach, the less many Canadians will be willing to assume he’s proposing the right things.

Just incredible that the Chief of Staff for the President of the United States of America had their work phone hacked, the hacker is now impersonating them, and it's not even the worst or most alarming security blunder the administration has made in the past few months.

Me as a kid: how do I get out of chores this weekend. Me as an adult: how do I get out of chores this weekend.

Amongst the dismantling of American science, let's celebrate a community-grown milestone. Our Merv13 PC-fan Luggable XL Ultra has been certified by EnergyStar as 2.4x more CADR/Watt efficient than any HEPA in their database! www.cleanairkits.com/blogs/news/d...
