> An internal email related to the Greenbelt scandal suggests Ford's office "was far more involved" in the land swap than the premier has maintained.

Ron DeSantis should be forced to carry his dead campaign to term.

Hey,
Listen up!

Anybody who thinks our health care system would be improved by 'dismantling the state-sanctioned monopoly' and 'unleashing the power of competitiveness' is either completely ignorant of Canada, the world and history, or a shill for private health interests.

We used to have private healthcare in Canada and it sucked, so we solved that problem. Conservatives always demand a replay of history because they skipped that class.

@daveliepmann I don't think spreadsheets could be invented today. "It's too complicated. Users won't understand. Who would buy this?" Instead of lifting peopled up towards general computing, we have dumbed computers down to cater for 7 second attention spans. We have A/B tested our way into stupidity.

We must avoid it like the plague!
Nah. Try again
Avoid it like a pending climate disaster?
Nope.
Uh. Avoid it like … polluting the water supply?
LOL.
I got it! Avoid it like the ultrawealthy avoid taking responsibility for devastating our planet and society.
BINGO!

In a city park stood two naked statues, one female and the other male.
These two statues had faced each other for many years.
Early one morning, an angel appeared before the statues and said,.. “Since the two of you have been exemplary statues and have brought enjoyment to many people,.. I am giving you your greatest wish. I hereby give you the gift of life,.. You have 30 minutes to do whatever you desire.”
And with that command, the statues came to life, smiled at each other, ran toward some nearby woods and disappeared behind a couple of bushes.
The angel smiled to himself as he listened to the two statues giggling, bushes rustling and twigs snapping.
After 15 minutes, the two statues emerged from the bushes, satisfied and smiling. Puzzled, the angel looked at his watch and asked the statues,.. “You still have 15 minutes. Would you like to continue?”
The male statue looked at the female and asked, “Do you want to do it again?”
Smiling, the female statue said, “Sure. But this time you hold the pigeon down and I’ll shit on its head”..

My 13yo son today used a drone to take an amazing photo that captures not only our flat, but nearly every major landmark in Edinburgh. Makes for a great desktop background!

"... the goal of the Alberta government, and most so-called Canadian conservatives, isn’t to save money, it’s to prove God smiles on the wealthy by demonstrating that the poor must suffer.
The cruelty is the point, the cost is a necessary expense to demonstrate the point."

Nothing says ban assault rifles like 5 school officers, 8 federal DEA officers, 13 U.S. Marshals, 16 sheriff’s deputies, 25 Uvalde officers, 69 officers of nearby law enforcement, 91 state police officers plus 149 U.S. Border Patrol agents being scared of 1 shooter with an AR-15.

"Today, the GOP frontrunner for president said, ""A president...must have full immunity…even events that 'cross the line' must fall under total immunity.""

I'm really tired of hearing about ""law & order"" from these people.

No matter what he thinks, Trump is not above the law."
