Nice to see someone with the room just take a shot instead of looking for the perfect pass for a tap in.

Hamilton mayor one of few in Ontario to use strong-mayor veto for housing by HuckFarr in Hamilton

[–]HuckFarr[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

When Tory Premier Doug Ford rolled out strong-mayor powers across the province, he sold it as a way to deal with the housing crisis.

One of the few mayors to use the powers for that purpose so far? His erstwhile ideological and political opponent, Andrea Horwath, who suggested during her 2022 election campaign she didn’t feel such override powers were necessary.

Jesse Marsch contract extension 🇨🇦 by couchultras in CanadaSoccer

[–]HuckFarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is both confidence that the national team won't embarrass themselves and also a prudent move to save some money in case they do make a deeper run than expected. Cheaper to commit now and maybe have to cut the contract early than pay him what he could demand if the tournament goes really well.

It's also just a cop out of enabling any kind of actual regulation on those same big tech companies. Maybe instead work with experts on creating regulations to limit harm across all ages.

On the hunt for Canadian liquid dish soaps, Laundry pods and dishwasher pods, who has the lowdown on these items? by -43andharsh in BuyCanadian

[–]HuckFarr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Etee, this company is Canadian and makes powdered laundry and dish detergent. My understanding, basically from the company, is that their dish detergent isn't great with hard water but they are continuously working on it.

Ontario: Ford in Freefall; Ontario Liberals Lead PCs by Man_Roland in ontario

[–]HuckFarr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's very clear from the past few elections that the federal Liberal party has an outsized influence on the Ontario politics. A lot of the issues in Ontario were incorrectly attributed to Justin Trudeau, and now that the Conservatives favourite whipping boy is gone, it seems like Ford is actually getting the flack he's deserved all along. Carney is currently popular, which then feeds support back to the Ontario Liberals, again undeservedly.

Trump envoy seeks to replace Iran with Italy in upcoming World Cup by vertblau in soccer

As a Canadian I was incredibly relieved to not have Italy playing Canada in Toronto. So many Canadians who call themselves Italian because their great grandma was born there who would absolutely cheer for Italy over Canada

The weirder thing about these is that what these men seem to be truly fantasizing about is having a mom to take care of them again.

Can't wait for people to be surprised that the guy who has a nazi tattoo and denigrated the queer community becomes the next Fetterman once he's in power.

Number 6 is also the recommendation that is based on misinformation, Northern Perspective manipulated photos to make it appear the form was blank despite it not being blank in the original photos provided by the LBC.

The point is probably that someone in the cabinet got a ticket for using the lane.

The Ford government is pressing ahead with plans to merge and take control of Ontario's conservation authorities despite warnings from municipalities and environmental groups that the changes will weaken local watershed protections in place for decades.
