Ross does a great job explaining why this gas tax "holiday" is really bad economics. #cdnpolitics #econsky #canada

Hadn't heard this song in ages, then it appeared in my Youtube feed. The Waterboys deserved better than they got. youtu.be/0eL-jEV_RKM?...

As someone who has voted NDP a few times, even as recently as 2018 (provincially), I think Avi Lewis is a poor choice. But, this is fair enough: thebeaverton.com/2026/03/edit...

Hard to believe he's almost 84, and turning out tunes like this.... A sweet song, with a pretty melody.... youtu.be/2n1IhyF6R0U?...

Leader of a major political party essentially saying that if you're a non white woman and you win awards you must be a man

The Minister allowing this needs to resign.

I am currently chairing a Hiring Committee for some Limited-Term jobs and I am heartbroken about the number of outstanding candidates that won't even make the short-list.

Toronto's response on the Island Airport is weak sauce. Chow and Malik should be saying: "Here is our 25-year-old shared vision of a clean, green waterfront for people. It's the right thing. Let's do that." Instead: procedural whining. secure.toronto.ca/council/agen...

He was a really bad history teacher....

As I told a reporter this morning, Trump wants to annex Canada, not Mexico. He's going to drag out our trade negotiations with the aim of breaking us. We should be prepared for the worst. www.thestar.com/business/gre...

Awesome world we're creating for ourselves 👍 👍

After shooting his parents and two brothers in the head, Israeli police dragged the 11 year-old out of the wreck, taunted him about the murders of his family and attacked him. One of the Israelis said “we killed dogs” Police then prevented ambulances from helping www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Are conventions so valuable? The main business of Toronto's Exhibition Place is conventions, and they claimed $600-million a year in economic impact. On 192 acres of land in the middle of a prosperous city. That is not a lot of money. www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis...

The Hamilton Police Service has investigated itself, the Hamilton Police Service says it has addressed the matter of extremist symbols being displayed by a swore officer, the officer remains on regular duties, and the Hamilton Police Service says it cannot reveal anything. #HamOnt #yhmcc

tl;dr: more people should watch this gentleman's speech and think seriously about what he is saying bsky.app/profile/slcl...

History tells us eventually all Naomis merge into one

Is it really so hard for Mark Carney to say something like this instead of constantly defending US breaches of international law?

The Ford gov has made several false claims about the Ontario Science Centre. Here is the Toronto Star repeating them: www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

I like this version, by a septuagenerian Neil Sedaka, much better than his original. I always felt he was a bit nasal in his recordings; the nasality disappeared with age. The chorus in this song is so much fun, and he had such an ear for melody: youtu.be/G0irmH9Nx2c?...

The British state didn't make racial discrimination unlawful after WW2 but passed such legislation in 1965, some 20 yrs later An obvious reason is due to Black, Asian & minority ethnic people demanding such legislative change, in the wake of explicitly racist and legal treatment in housing, at work

“Pope Leo XIV has urged priests to not to use artificial intelligence to write their homilies or to seek ‘likes’ on social media platforms like TikTok.” “‘To give a true homily is to share faith,’ and artificial intelligence ‘will never be able to share faith,’ the pope added.”

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

“For all these reasons, it is clear the typical #Canadian has a higher standard of living than the typical #American. We are healthier, live three years longer, face much less inequality and are happier. These outcomes are not accidents.” policyoptions.irpp.org/2025/04/cana...

How is someone expected to work with both the Men's Curling semifinal, and the Women's Hockey final going on?

When Tom Homan, Trump and other Republicans defend the masking of ICE agents, I can't help but think of Orson Welles announcing on his radio show his intention of identifying the South Carolina police officer who violently attacked and blinded the uniformed Black veteran Isaac Woodard in 1946.

Well, well, well. Look who turned up at the swamp.

This is a beautiful thing. RIP, Jesse Jackson.

Is anyone else surprised by the fact that Robert de Niro is younger than Al Pacino (I learned this today in reading the tributes to Robert Duvall)?

The Chinese silver medallist in Women's Freestyle Ski Big Air was hilarious, with all her posing. What a character.....

Chrystia Freeland went on Bill Maher? Gross. Just gross.

Great to see @trevortombe.bsky.social today at @lcerpa.bsky.social Economic Outlook 2026: The Era of Uncertainty. Mentioned it's worth checking out www.policyuncertainty.com

Today, I heard Jim Balsillie, former CEO of Blackberry, say on the radio that politicians of Canada's two major parties don't want to do regulate tech companies use of personal info. because they are beholden to corporate interests. I almost drove my car off the road in shock. #canadasky

Seven officers! What a disgrace.... www.thestar.com/news/gta/cop...

Canada did a consultation on a new national AI strategy, formed an expert task force to write 32 reports, then used AI to analyze the responses & reports. The result is a summary that strings together 100s of vague action items & flattens nuance and policy trade-offs into false consensus

I had my Shingles vaccine yesterday, and I feel like poop warmed over. You know what was worse: the actual shingles, about three years ago, where I not only had Bell's Palsy, but lost my hearing for about a week.

Study by AI company finds debatable productivity benefits of using AI in coding. www.anthropic.com/research/AI-...

Just when you think that certain people can't get more gross than they already are, you discover more about the likes of Larry Summers or Dan Ariely.

When one of the most right-wing Liberals in recent memory says this, you know Canadians are pissed off. #canadasky
