I don't like doing this. It feels fucked up to constantly point out the negative dimensions of someone who just died in a horrific, worrying way. But I would like the media to tell basic truths about this person and his impact on public life rather than resorting to euphemism and outright lies!

Unfortunately, it does appear to be true: www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

You’ve got to scroll down a bit but the suspect changed her name to reflect a female gender identity in 2020.

Relying on spontaneity to get things started. Instead of saying “I’ll start in 5 mins”, just go “I’m going to start right now” and treat the task like an impulsive urge. Works best for smaller tasks I’m avoiding because I don’t like them (like replying to emails and text messages)

She doesn’t think that it’s likely they’re going to offer her any position in the first place. I guess I just don’t understand why this is bad. The Libs need more votes to pass legislation. Don’t we want bargains that force the Libs to be more progressive instead of more conservative…?

Yeah but I wouldn’t call it political opportunism. She’s been pretty explicit that she’s not abandoning her party or her principles. Collaborating with the Liberals isn’t bad if she can get them to agree to more progressive positions as a result.

To be fair, she does say in the article that she wouldn’t stop being part of the Green Party to run for Speaker and that she’s left her hat in the ring for Speaker before. IMO I don’t she’s actually shifting her beliefs, just saying that she’d be open to collaborating with the Libs

I’m proud that I voted for Mike Morrice and I do not regret that at all. He’s the only politician I’ve ever seen respond to his constituents’ concerns on Reddit and you can tell that he really cares about the people in Kitchener Centre. It’s such a tragedy to lose an MP like him

What is the point of doing this when bus drivers themselves act as enforcement? I don’t think there are many TTC buses (if at all) where you can pay by entering from the back door

Carney was disappointing. He needed a stronger performance here. Didn’t like his conservative-leaning positions, but the main issue is how he came off. Too many pauses and a stilted, awkward delivery makes me afraid that he’d get destroyed in a more aggressive debate

Freeland was bad. I didn’t expect to like her going in, but wow, that was bad.
