It's like the invasion of Iraq or Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Canadians still laughing off "51st state" need to wake up.

When your CBC tech owner guests speak slop like, "AI is as significant an invention as electricity", you've lost all credibility with your listeners. This is grade F journalism.

Thank God, the CBC did not invite Jivani and instead, invited a man fighting the lies of the "manosphere".

The CRA and our tax system is structured to allow the wealthy to avoid paying taxes is worth remembering, here. I don't know all the circumstances. Some people might genuinely have thought they were entitled, others not. You'll only get away with it if you're rich.

The same papers claim raising the minimum wage for wait staff will mean the closure of restaurants. That never happens either.
They always make this threat and it never materializes. Here's the New York Post fear mongering about the wealthy leaving NYC under de Blasio. Look around. Does New York have fewer millionaires and billionaires than in 2014?

Bend Over Bari: "At present, we do not present the administration’s argument for why it sent 252 Venezuelans to CECOT."

'At present, we do not present Hitler's argument for sending Jews to concentration camps.'

Watch the entire 60 Minutes episode and understand who Bari Weiss really is.
In case you are still wondering about Bari Weiss's Monday morning backing and filling, John Ganz's (@lioneltrolling.bsky.social's) post should settle that.

Conservatives asking, "Why didn't Ma warn us he was crossing the floor?" is like asking a battered spouse why she left without telling her husband.
