The Death of Warner Bros:

Warner Bros. produced The African Queen, for which Humphrey Bogart finally got the Oscar he deserved. And they are the Hollywood studio that produced perhaps the greatest Hollywood sound stage film in history, Casablanca, also with Bogart in an iconic role.

Witnessing the sad spectacle of Carney becoming a “politician” reminds me of the greatest weakness in so-called “democratc” systems such as Canada and the U.S.: namely, the party system constructed on the pillars of power. #MarkCarney #Democracy #PartySystem

Having played hockey in the Leafs organization with a Blues pass to the Gardens for Wednesday and Saturday games, I have never understood why #WayneGretzky has been considered “the great one.” There have been many great NHL players, but only one truly great. And that is the one and only #GordieHowe

Vis-à-vis Carney-Smith MOU, this is what we've known for quite a while and what an AI today says: "persistent operational underperformance, high costs, and the prevalent use of captured CO2 for enhanced oil production.”

Most Canadians of every generation don't realize how Americanized they are. They continue to read American magazines and newspapers. In the 30s, 40s, and 50s, they fervently listened to American radio stations. Since the 50s and ever since, they have embraced American TV and continue to do so.

We're all inside an #ideology whether we know it or not. And people who are rightly concerned about the clearly existential threat of #climatechange are not far left extremists. They are people concerned with the survival of a habitable planet. They are concerned about everyone, not just the 80%.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

Why didn't #MarkCarney and the investment cronies with which he has surrounded himself consult BC costal first nations groups? Why didn't he consult the Premiere of BC? These egregious lapses will punish him and the Liberal members in BC, and they will deserve it! #LPC

I'm beginning to suspect ##MarkCarney is a conservative at heart and that he joined the #LPC because it offered a path to power and that the #PCP did not. His #MOU yesterday with Smith and the #COP30 decision are conservative moves, undermining the admiral environmental policies of Trudeau's tenure.

Have you noticed that several of the new trade agreements #MarkCarney has negotiated overlook human rights abuses in favour of trade? Isn't such a blind eye a serious moral compromise? Carney's industrualizing economic strategies may at first glance seem fruitful, but at what moral price?

Has the tarrifs dispute with the Trump regime become a mere alibi enabling the indisputable movement of Carney's government towards authoritarianism as it tries to deepen Canada's industrialization through new, aggressive trade agreements? ##MarkCarney #tarrifs #authoritarianism

Noam Chomsky, himself a Jew, recently said that Israel should not exist. Under the legislation now being enacted in Carney's surprising authoritarian moves, could such a remark be construed as "hate speech"? And if so, who would determine that? #hatespeech #MarkCarney

It's Nov. 26, and the temperature today will rise to 10° in the Ottawa area. Contrast this weather with, say, the weather on this date just 20 years ago. Will naysayers, governments, and emissions polluting industries get the message? #ClimateChange is a real existential threat! #GlobalWarming😧

Did you know that when the newly formed U.S., consisting of the former 13 British colonies, attacked Fort York in Upper Canada (now Toronto, Ontario) in 2012 that 3/4 of the population of UC were U.S. immigrant?.🤔

An interesting question raised by a user on X: where does all the beef come from to service all the fast food chains? #McDonald's alone sells 6.5 million burgers a day! Add on Burger King, Wendy's, A&W, Harvey's, and 10 or more and this becomes more than an interesting question. #SoylentGreen? #Beef

There's a considerable amount of corruption swirling around Doug Ford's regime, but the open faced decision to replace local school boards with appointed bureaucrats is disturbing, to say the least. Boards should be staffed by citizens who live in the community where a given board is. #DougFord
