Jfc--not used lightly--it's one thing to speculate "they may have discussed their shared Catholic faith" in a speculative history or biography, but here and now in the news this week?? Seriously, @theglobeandmail.com?

The issue is just funding and resources. That's it. Really the same as in education. You have to pay for it, and then it works wonderfully.

Spot on.

Ewww, HeinOnline, a scholarly database, has added "AI summaries" to the front matter of articles.

Quebec's new 'Constitution Bill' doubles down on the absurd idea that a province can directly amend the national constitution. It purports to directly change the text of provisions of the Constitution Act, 1867, and repeal others.

This 👇🎉 🇨🇦!!

Guzman is a former Goldman Sachs exec, so as a former Goldman exec himself, the Prime Minister believes he's worth this obscene salary. As Markham Hislop of Energi Media said, "I voted for 'Value(s)' Carney but got Goldman Sachs Carney instead." Value(s) Carney has gone AWOL.

I will forever find the idea that you can't find equally qualified (maybe even more qualified) people for half the price in pretty much any of these positions, such as CEOs for state agencies, university presidents, etc. etc. etc., to be total bullshit. Overpaid and unjustifiably so.

I’m sure there’d be a perfectly sound and normal response if Michelle Obama had said: “I have had an open channel of communication with a foreign dictator”

Although it'd be nice to see the US doing more to stop the next batch of Ukrainian children from being abducted in Russia's illegal war.

Creators of AI-generated actress unsure if coolest part is the creepiness or the stealing

Danielle Smith wants tighter integration with the fascist Trump regime, and she's applauding Carney's approach on that basis. The Prime Minister is failing Canada. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast. But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

Uhh, what is this unconstitutional horseshit? "The constitution bill would also have the Quebec premier recommend who should be appointed the province's lieutenant-governor. ... The new legislation would also rename the lieutenant-governor the "officer of Quebec."" www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Less doubt mongering.👎 More facts. 👍 COVID Vaccines Still Effective, Study www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdi... Effectiveness: - 29.3% against emergency department visits - 39.2% against hospitalizations - 64% against deaths "Vaccines were effective across age groups"

Trump has done more to harm peace and human progress than anyone else this century. He's demonised the world's most vulnerable people, undermined global law & order, waged war on science & medicine and is dismantling his own democracy. He's in 8,249,937,355th place to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Mark Carney sold himself as a pro-sovereignty, transformational leader, but he has acted like a defender of a status quo based on confined dependence on a Trumpist United States. In any case, that’s not what Canadians voted for. But I’m not sure that Carney cares about that small point.

Mark Carney has chosen deeper integration with the United States. There can be no clearer sign than his decision to reject Canada’s longstanding anti-BMD position. Most worryingly, he is continuing to act as if a fascist US and Canada comprise a “we”. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Speaking of which, how do you get neo-Nazi groups to go defunct? That seems like something we should be trying.

Is this new Game of Thrones spin-off supposed to be a comedy or what? The tone in the trailer is fundamentally weird. And is it just me, or is it visually really shitty looking?

An actual opposition party would run this on a loop in every conceivable space.

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.

Who will be the first CPC member to use the term "anchor baby"?

Fuuuuuuuuck this.

What's wrong with the other 20%?

Good play Vladdy. 1 OUT LEFT.

Hoffman does not make me confident.

The only person arguing with you is a contract. 🤷‍♂️

You have to start Lukes instead of Santander from now on, right?

A man can only stress puke so many times.

I do. I’m pulling my hair out instead.

Yankees fans streaming out of the ballpark. Great to see.

Ok, just put Yesavage in.

You can't be walking people. Jesus.

That was a pretty strikeout.

And why - after witnessing the Project 2025 takedown of U.S. post-secondary institutions - are Canadian educational institutions capitulating *in* advance? @emmettmacfarlane.com covered this in early September with the U of T prof placed on unpaid leave emmettmacfarlane.substack.com/p/u-of-t-pro...

'If a law professor can be removed from the classroom for engaging in legitimate public critique, what message does that send to . . . the broader academic community? That reputational management now outweighs principles?' 1/ edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu... @ualberta.bsky.social

You'd think there would be more interest from the US media that Trump is simply delusional - at best being fed complete fabrications by his team, at worst in serious cognitive decline and unable to recognise reality.

This really is beyond parody

A shocking development (Note: it is not shocking)

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross
