This is a great piece from Ted Aivalis with a reminder that making it through winter requires each of us to help out city workers and do our part to prepare for the weather.

For once, US politics are my day's positives (Cheney dead! Mamdani won!) and Canadian politics are my day's negative (Budget sucks so bad!)

I also think we all need to recognize: the battle against Mamdani, because of what he represents, won't end with the election.
If he wins, the billionaire-aligned voices will stop at nothing to discredit his ideas, to show they fail. Every mistake will be amplified.
He'll live gamergate every day.

Honestly there is no surer sign that politicians like Mamdani actually have a shot at reversing the massive and growing plague of income inequality than the way the billionaire class is absolutely shitting its pants right now.
Their fear gives me hope change is actually possible! More Mamdanis now!

If the federal Liberals use generative AI in anything having to do with serious governing, this automatically becomes the stupidest government of my lifetime
If the Carney government deploys generative AI -- a product that by design cannot be trusted to provide reliable information -- to answer Canadians' tax question, it should be required to forgive the taxes of anyone who follows any incorrect answers.

The cognitive dissonance Lesley Parnell exhibits is truly astonishing.
Now Parnell's voice is shaky with emotion - "We are here to serve you from the bottom of our hearts."
