I kind of like this whole “We won’t buy your liquor but we will air your state-suppressed news stories” niche that Canada’s apparently carved out.

Have You Heard the One about Kevin O’Leary, Wayne Gretzky, and Danielle Smith Walking into Mar-a-Lago? | The Walrus
It’s a joke that ends with three Canadians helping Trump meddle with our sovereignty

@anitasagastegui.bsky.social Kyoto and La Boca, B. A. You have experienced and captured beauty in many beautiful corners of the world Anita. Thanks so much for sharing. Did you visit Palacio Barolo in BA? Stunning. Based on Dante’s Commedia Divina. It has a sister building in Uruguay.

@anitasagastegui.bsky.social you have a beautiful broad spectrum of imagery that reveals an eye for the sublime, a mind that understands composition and a brain that can process the intricate nuances of mood. I would like to see imagery more focused on your worldview. A thread that tells a story.

How DID PP amass millions on an MPs salary? All this “golly gee shucks, I’m for the little guy” rings hollow and cynical when it comes from a guy whose pockets are lined with filthy lucre from Texas Oil billionaires. Shame on Alberta for giving him quarter on the public dime.
Rumour is he doesn’t want to disclose the source of his personal wealth

Hey remind me, has Pierre Poilievre finally completed his standard security check yet and managed to get the normal, standard security clearance that everyone else even close to his position has?
No?
STILL REFUSES TO?
Hmm.
Wonder what the REAL reason for that is?

I must be getting old when I find myself harbouring prohibition sentiments. I feel that our governments have completely doubled down on green lighting, abetting and supplying us with the assets of vice and that is insidious and wrong. Cue the Mayflower!
I think the proliferation of online betting apps and ads for them is a danger to society and requires much tighter regulation

🔊TURN DOWN THE VOLUME
Californians don't want to hear commercials at a volume any louder than what they were previously enjoying their program at.
I just signed legislation enforcing this regulation across streaming platforms.
