"In some places, French postal workers now pick up prescriptions, return library books, and deliver flowers. Last year, only twenty eight per cent of La Poste’s revenue came from sending mail."

Services can evolve in positive ways to meet new and growing needs.

I encourage everyone to read the whole thing

I’m old enough to remember when that CBC comedian teased Pierre Poilievre on the campaign trail and Poilievre said when he was Prime Minister that comedian would be out of a job.

No one deserves to die for being a dick.

At the same time, no dick deserves to be lauded just because they’re dead.

Most of Trump's tariffs were just ruled illegal (because they were based on nonsense).

This is the second best possible off-ramp for the U.S. economy. The best would be if Congress were to take back the power the Constitution gave it.

The key to being a Leafs fan is to prepare for maximum disappointment. Being embarrassed 6-1 in game five was really bad. But pure disappointment is for the Leafs to win tonight, and then blow game seven at home.

This is what happens when low-wage employers lose their access to migrant labour…

…they expand the labour pool by bringing in children, under entirely inappropriate working conditions.

Remember, they do this instead of just raising wages.
Is this who we want to become?!
