Only Ontario could have produced Doug Ford, who (especially now that Poilievre's downfall looks ever more likely) is likely to be the figurehead of full-blown Canadian mask-off fascism once he cruises into power on the highway paved for him by Carney

Anyone who has loved Shawn’s flaneur threads in Toronto will enjoy this - he’s doing it in Montreal!
My favourite hotel on earth (at least in Montreal). It is really a brutalist low rise motor hotel high a top of a concrete plinth. It remains gorgeous & perfect 60 years later. Heaven.

Many feel betrayal and frustration, and the feelings are hot right now.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

ok so now I understand why Shaheen and gang were so desperate to end the shutdown
The Federal Aviation Administration will limit business jets and other private flights to some of the country’s largest airports to ease strains on air-traffic personnel.

The restrictions will affect private jet flights at a dozen airports, including Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver, and Chicago’s O’Hare, according to the National Business Aviation Association trade group.

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.

"Yet in court, Hillel pivoted to the opposite posture, arguing that the stickers were protected political satire, important commentary, the kind of expression anti-SLAPP law shields. Given this, and the fact Hillel never condemned the speech, it seems they supported and defended Dobrer’s actions."

JOHNS: “I don't think it was a far stretch for Chris d'Entremont to cross over and join the Liberal Party of today, ’cause Carney's running on...a Progressive Conservative agenda. And the Conservative Party has certainly pivoted back to more the Reform Party of the past and a MAGA-type party.”

“I know you can’t afford things but we also cannot afford things” will be, I predict, a losing message. The world’s first trillionaire is on the horizon. “We can’t afford transportation, healthcare, food and shelter” will no longer cut it for the “progressive” party.

But what if we use his incompetence for *good* this time
me yesterday: look, Chuck Schumer is an incompetent dipshit, but somehow he’s played the shutdown semi-functionally because his opponents are even stupider
today: you fool, you idiot, Chuck Schumer has only appeared vaguely competent because his caucus actively revolted
should have known better

SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates.
In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.

Really great interview, should be watched. The known benefits for bike lanes on main streets are being espoused by those retailers who work on those streets. Excellent.
WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data.
Safe bike-lanes mean business.
