So glad to have seen Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney absolutely humiliate the orange felon on the world stage at the G7. That’s how you deal with a deranged tyrannical bully.

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

Strange how any negative framing of auto culture is automatically anti-car & radical yet the billions of dollars spent on reckless car ads and auto first infrastructure isn't framed as anti-pedestrian, anti-bike, anti-transit, anti-person, anti-senior, anti-child or anti-planet.

Pierre Poilievre has been keeping busy, apparently, phoning up and thanking some.....interesting.....influencers.
From a woman who says it's "getting difficult not to become racist" and a man who has been fact checked by AFP, it's quite the group.

One of the keys to dense urban livability is being able to access different scales of nature pretty easily. Vancouver’s remarkable Stanley Park isn’t quite as famous as Central Park, but it’s frequently ranked among the best parks, and destinations, in the world. My pic from Helijet reminds us why.

We just asked a federal court to order ICE to grant Mahmoud's request for a contact visit with his family.

Former long-time Liberal Treasurer & PM, John Howard, is still gas-lighting the Australian public.
He reckons a coalition is best form of govt. He means LNP Coalition is best for Liberals.
The simple fact is the Liberals can't gain govt without The Nationals -- or the support of corporate media.
