A different thing they'd be powerless to stop would be a *real* "inside job", i.e. a Laura Loomer going bonkers or something.

Plus, now that Carney has his majority, I can picture voter cynicism re any overwrought government bid to bolster it; the NDP isn't a force to "stop" in the same way the Cons or the Bloc are; there's no real urgency to cast a protest vote with the Bloc when the NDP's the sitting party; and for...

It's never just "Obama". It always has to be "Hussein Obama". It's like he wants to mandate that as his name for posterity, like "John Quincy Adams".

I'm not sure if Jewishness is part of it (in fact, her father, Morton Shulman, was a maverick NDP MPP in the 60s/70s), so much as it's a NDP vs Green schism (Saxe was the Green candidate here provincially in '22)

Maple Leaf Stadium, demolished 1968. I believe the City owned the whole parcel thereafter (and there was a somewhat legendary "adventure playground" at the NE edge in the 70s/80s), though there wasn't any real planning put into said parcel until the 80s, when housing was installed in the N...

Strangely enough, I'm *not* so sure that's a fatal blow for the NDP in that seat.

As the daughter of a former Liberal MPP, that might involve her switching affiliation. Somehow, despite whatever NDP machine, I can picture Saxe relatively "entrenched" among the big-tent aging-boomer promiscuous-progressives, as a successor to the Nadine Nowlan and Ila Bossons sorts of...

There was a reason for that bare win; it was an open seat following Mike Layton's retirement, and she was a Green who upset the NDP standard-bearer who otherwise ought to have been the shoe-in to succeed Layton.

True; that's what enabled him to be fatally framed in terms of Trump. However, when PP was leading by a landslide in the polls, Trump wasn't (back) in office yet.

Look at it this way: if the tech billionaires have their way, war will be conducted by AI and the question of "food" will be redundant. (Just another element in their post-human callousness. Artificially generated bots who don't require food, who don't require salaries, etc. You can even...

And said resignation *and* Trump's inauguration went nicely hand-in-hand to that end (Still, all things in hindsight, the parallels btw/Studio 54 Maggie T and Coachella Justin are pretty vivid)

Hey, what's good for Fyre Fest is good for the US military, in the hands of these bozos in charge...

Ah, another of those degenerated-into-bickering discussions. However, remember that re the PP alternative being framed as "dystopian": in the context of the election, it was really less about him than about the reflected glory of Trump, and PP being fatally framed as more of a likely...

Okay, that's a case where I momentarily couldn't pinpoint the first photo until the second made it clear (even if the Leaside Bridge on the right ought to have offered a hint). Wonder what the full version of the "C" sign at the right edge looked like. Also: boy, curbless roads looked sloppy...

You know, when the smoke clears on all of this, *if ever* the smoke clears on all of this, we'll probably be finding out *how* blitzed Trump and his cabinet and hangers-on (including the AI-besotted tech billionaires) were on one form or another of artificial stimulant, in liquid or pill or...
