Canada is a very decent country. We are tolerant.
Kind. Accepting. Friendly. Honest. Genuine.
Especially genuine.
Pierre Poilievre is none of that.
Zero charisma. Nothing ever good to say about Canada.
Enough of that Temu Trump.
We are so much better than this.
So, so much.

This is good reporting on the disaster in Alaska if you're looking for a reliable summary.
This is a bigger disaster than I think most are realizing. 1500 people have been displaced by the flooding with an exceptionally complicated response and recovery.

to mention that when Tel Aviv Maccabi fans went to Amsterdam, there were reports they chanted “we will f**k the arabs” and ““There are no schools in Gaza because there are no children left.” They also pulled down Palestinian flags. They were met with attacks from locals.

The thing is, if you genuinely believed that preteen girls are old enough to be mothers while males in their thirties are too young to comprehend fascism, then you logically wouldn't trust men to be responsible for anything more consequential than a balloon animal, let alone a government

I put some time into reading the SSAG reports today and what really worries me is that they suggest a huge change but with no real value proposition - so there will be no new money.
Unless someone at MBIE has the chops for this, the reforms will really just be a lick of paint that masks the rot.
