I'm shocked at the results in Hamilton Centre.

An NDP stronghold and we nearly had the cons come up the middle of a progressive vote split between the NDP incumbent and a Liberal parachute. Ended up going to the Grits, but man. This - THIS! - is why we need a single transferable vote.

Trump: we're not going to give Europe the best version of the weapons we build because what if the US wants to fight them someday?

Europe: *looks to buy weapons made in the EU*

USA: *shocked Pikachu face*

Seriously. What a bunch of dumbasses.
US officials object to European push to buy weapons locally
U.S. officials have told European allies they want them to keep buying American-made arms, amid recent moves by the European Union to limit U.S. manufacturers' participation in weapons tenders, five sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

What's old is new again

During Stalin's reign, an old woman in Moscow has been waiting for a long time for a bus. When it finally arrives, she exclaims, "Oh, praise God!"

The bus driver turns around with a grave look. "Babushka, we no longer praise God. You must say, 'Praise Comrade Stalin.'"

Please share this simple message to Pierre Poilievre:
It's time to put your country ahead of your partisan interest. Why is Poilievre the only party leader in Canadian history who refuses to get a security clearance?
MAGA MAPLE is a threat.

I finally took a proper photo of my summer-themed mitosis sampler (2024). I’m writing a pattern for this one in four season colourways so watch for that in a few months!

A little birdie told me the ERIC database is purging about 45% of its content because it's "not American". The only thing this will accomplish is slowing down the proliferation of academic research for those in the US.

Which, as my feathered friend wryly noted, is par for the course for Trump 2.0

I sure hope the investigation considers whether insurance fraud may have become extremely attractive to Tesla dealers given everything we're hearing about current market demand for these vehicles.

Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid. You may already know that it was synthesized in the 19th century by Bayer - they added an acetyl group to salicylic acid.

Why does the US need to buy steel from Canada, anyway? The US makes their own steel.

I have a backyard garden here in Hamilton, Ontario. I've got a green thumb, it's quite a productive little space. However, the vast majority of the food my family eats still comes from the grocery store.
