This is far from the most important issue here, but the Ontario govt was under no obligation to "seek...permission to use and edit" any recording of Ronald Reagan that is in the U.S. National Archives/Reagan Library, as is the case here. And the Reagan Foundation has *no* relevant role here.
Here's the statement from the Reagan Foundation.

"The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address, and the Government of Ontario did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks."

NEW @motherjones.com: Nobody in that GOP group chat praising Hitler or making racist comments was a “kid,” as JD Vance claimed today

I tracked down their ages. (Weirdly, it seems nobody else did.)

Eight of the 11 in the group chat range from 24 to 35. Ages of others are unclear.

But… no “kids”!
No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid"
We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

So, in the last two hours, I found a Canon G7X Mark II for $300 USD at a thrift shop. Tested it, works, used my old man discount, mine for $270.

Drove to the big city, KEH is in town, sold it for $890.

Thank you TikTok.

Thinking of selling my Fuji X-H1 today. With the lenses, KEH will give me about $600. Not bad, but it would leave me without a decent digital camera, so on the fence.

Mischaracterizing antifa as "terrorism" is a thinly veiled ploy to stifle free speech. It's intended to frighten us into silence. How fascists leaders label dissent has varied, but the goals are the same.

It's not alarmist to decry what's unfolding before our very eyes. #DoNotObeyInAdvance
