lol, it's literally colder than this in Toronto right now. And I moved to Toronto in no small part because the winters are so dramatically milder than the part of Canada I'm from.
Canadians you are not prepared for the temperature he tells you he is experiencing here.

Homicide in the best cop show.
Watching Homicide: Life on the Streets and of course there's an episode where John Waters cameos as a bartender listening to Ned Beatty talk about a teenager killing another with a baseball bat. Why wouldn't there be.

Allowing these basic building blocks of Canadian identity to collapse does not align at all with Carney's stated goal of having Canada stand up on its own feet
Nation-building isn’t just about infrastructure and resource extraction. It’s about culture. It’s about history. It’s about our stories, and the places that tell them.
This is the worst time imaginable to shut down the Register of Historic Places.

…Except Carney’s denunciation of the neoliberal capitalist world order is later followed by him bragging about cutting taxes for businesses / investors and getting rid of government regulations
So I’m not quite sure what system Carney is railing against or what kind of world he aspires to build?

The observation that happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way is commendable. Would you like me to help you identify the characteristics that align with happy families as opposed to unhappy families?
Wow. That's very insightful. It *is* a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of something—a wife. If you'd like, I could help you draft a "Wife Marriage Acquisition Plan" or a "Good Fortune Business Plan."

Mark Carney making Gregor Robertson the Minister of Housing and Infrastructure is a clear signal that he either doesn't understand the root causes of Canada's spiralling housing crisis, or that he does and has decided that ordinary Canadians don't matter.

I would be more impressed with this speech if his domestic economic policies weren't marching in lockstep with the very neoliberal priorities that created the very destabilizing crises he's referring to.
Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

I am incredibly annoyed to have developed a head cold that is not quite debilitating. Instead of being able to go back to bed and recover, I am juuuust well enough to still function, and juuuust sick enough for everything I do to feel frustrating.

You can trace the death of Twitter to journalists discovering it. It went almost overnight from a fairly chill place to chat to a marketplace, as businesses followed the journos. Musk & his Nazis were the final nail in its coffin, not the first.
hey did you know that twitter was never "the global town square?" it was never one of the biggest or coolest social media sites, it was just where journos and other wordcels and some celebs hung out so it became fodder for lazy news sites writing up stories based on some guy tweeting something

Black Panthers are the reason there are school meal programs. I’d trust them over ICE any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.
If ICE can roll through neighborhoods like an occupying force, don’t act shocked when communities organize to protect themselves.

I would read this guide—something like “welcoming people into safer communications, while also not demobilizing them when they inevitably make a mistake.” I can’t think of another time when people were urgently needing these tools and skills at this scale.
I need people who don’t live in the Twin Cities to stop telling people not to join massive Signal groups right now. People are doing it. They’re going to keep doing it. Give them good advice about it.
The actually practical advice is don’t say anything to 1000 strangers you wouldn’t say in public

It is incredibly distracting to try and get work done while the country next door is actively descending into fascism. I can't even imagine what it's like to live there right now.

Saying "what they want is violence, don't give it to them," is not only an incorrect assessment—fascist state agents are unleashing violence upon our communities daily, the peoples' response is not incitement—but further accuses the very people resisting fascism of its cause. A sick perversion.
