The Raptors will go into Christmas having dropped 8 of 11 games, including consecutive losses vs the Brown-less Celtics and the 7-19 Nets. Whatever goodwill they earned with that impressive win in Miami a week ago is gone. This team needs to get their s*** together and figure out the C position.

I'd say hang it in the Louvre but that isn't enough. Gather one billion drones and project it in a light display across the night sky directly above his house for the rest of time

Yes we are getting higher taxes.
This was explicitly the tradeoff council made for low taxes in past years.
They chose to rob our present selves just so we could also rob our future selves to save the average(/mean) property tax payer about ~$100 a year.

I too supported JT’s approach but I don’t believe it’s the only approach. Changing times sometimes call for changing strategies.

Thought experiment: If YOU were the victim of a cyberattack, could you tell Nova Scotia Power you're just going to estimate your power bill for the next 8 months and settle accounts, interest-free, after?

This is an incompetent company. They have a huge responsibility that they’re just dumping on citizens. Not one of their ‘customers’ would be excused by a corporation if they experienced major life disruptions and expected financial leniency.
Time for public ownership.

If after seeing the lengths to which Ru goes to absorb Ukr and erase its national consciousness, some continue calling this security maximizing behaviour by Ru, the word security loses meaning. Expansionist conquest is not insecurity. Ukr, NATO, Europe, US have never shown any desire to conquer Ru
Also. Next time someone tells you Ru is invading Ukraine preemptively to stop it from joining NATO, show them this and laugh in their face. Blaming these genocidal politics on Ru feeling insecure is peak ignorance or gaslighting.

Next time any piece of shit politician tells you that "these are russian territories", "everyone speaks russian there" and so on - show them this. That is the "how" and the "why". It is called ethnocide and has been done numerous times by russia over the past centuries, to erase us.

The key difference here is that Carney isn’t doing a deal with the oilpatch — and he’s forcing Alberta to put real skin in the game.

This is weird framing, given that said deal actually strengthens the most important part — by far — of said Trudeau-era climate measures.

Counterpoint: yes, he did.
If he forces the federal backstop on Alberta he triggers a national unity crisis -- and further undermines the carbon market in the process (since the fight would play out in the courts).
This way he shores up the weakest link in the chain, and quickly.

Never been so mad to publish something.
While I have a ton of time for Max's analysis, I think this is overlooking one major fact: Carney didn't need Alberta's approval to bring in an industrial carbon price. So he traded a litany of climate policies for nothing he didn't already have.

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.
