I'm hearing talk of an upcoming Netflix documentary about the Mayorship of Rob Ford.
Having experienced the ups and downs of the Ford years in Toronto first-hand, I might skip this one.
Once was enough, I fear...

Got jump-scared by the CBC election night coverage this evening.
As a public service, I firmly believe that broadcasters should be required to warn the public before exposing us to Jason Kenny.

That is, the Jewish response to the Shoah can't be to abandon Jewish identity, Jewish peoplehood, Jewish uniqueness, otherwise we've done the Nazis' work for them.

For Emil Fackenheim, there's the 614th commandment. Traditionally, Judaism recognizes 613 commandments given in the Torah.
After the Shoah, Fackenheim suggested a single addition: we shall not grant Hitler a posthumous victory.

I also agree with Yitz Greenberg (ironic, given my feelings about most of Orthodox Judaism, that here I'm aligned most closely with two Orthodox rabbis) that if there is any moral, it's that we can't trust in God to deal with human evil. It's on us.

Canada’s political, business and media discourse will no doubt revolve around how we need to do more to appease Trump

Black Friday is also really hard on small businesses who are forced to shave their already thin margins to try and compete with big box stores.

I rant about this every year, but Black Friday should not be a thing in Canada, let alone a thing that now appears to be days and days long.
Also, Canada has Boxing Day, if you must get your fix!
Plus if brands can afford to give Black Friday deals for weeks, then just lower your fucking prices!

Exactly!
There's extended Black Friday, extended Boxing Day, then a President's Day sale for US brands. It goes on throughout the year.
At a certain point, you have to ask yourself: if there's always a sale, is there ever a sale?
It's a marketing ploy. And we're all being scammed, my friends.

When we talk about the role of the media in creating division and uplifting fascism, this is exactly what we mean.
At a time when media literacy is lacking in society, "innocent" stories like this push anti-union sentiment onto the masses.

Doug Ford wants an early election to get ahead of any reports from the investigation into the Greenbelt?
Why, does he think it might make him look bad? Unelectable, perhaps?
