To all those I follow on Twitter, if I'm not following you here it is most likely because of laziness rather than because I don't want to. If you feel left out by my not following you, reply to my tweet (or whatever we call posts here), and I might rectify that.

In “So Long and Thanks for all the Fish”, there’s a character who decided the whole world was insane, and opted to wall them out.
There was a sign that made this character come to that conclusion.
I’m reminded of that bit of the book for no particular reason.

Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

IMO, the (usually) annual Budget process is a bit of a misnomer. What we refer to as a Budget is not an actual breakdown of how the government will spend its money. Rather, it is more of a major policy document, albeit policies that primarily involve changes to spending or revenues.

A tale of two November 5ths:
UK (1605): an attempt was made to blow up the House of Lords and assassinate the King, involving 36 barrels of gunpowder.
Canada (1995): an attempt was made to break into 24 Sussex and assassinate the Prime Minister, involving a pocket knife.

On Nov. 5, 1995, André Dallaire arrived at 24 Sussex Drive in Ottawa, where Jean and Aline Chretien were sleeping. He spent nearly an hour on the grounds and in the home, waving at security cameras and holding a pocket knife.
This is the story.

I am not sure why the government would preemptively invoke the notwithstanding clause (if this report is correct). It is not automatically the case that legislating back-to-work would violate the Charter. In any event, it would be months before courts would rule on the constitutionality.

While I have great respect for NPR, I am not convinced it is particularly newsworthy that different pharmaceuticals have different effects on people.
Millions of Americans take antidepressants. And like all medication they come with side effects. Researchers studied 30 different antidepressants and found side effects vary from drug to drug.

Last weekend saw a lot of road closures in Toronto. Great to see ambulances using bike lanes to get people in distress where they need to go quickly.
The trope touted by Ford and his like that bike lanes delay EMS response times has been proven false time and time again.
