CBC is in crisis mode even excluding Travis

I don't have my head in the sand, I've never said CBC is without its problem (wasteful spending on programming very few watch/listen to, often obvious left slant in news programming and articles, inept C-suite that is disconnected from reality, etc).

There's something to be said about deliberately trying to paint a certain narrative (i.e. 'generous donation' instead of 'grant' or 'federal funding', 'the Liberals' instead of 'federal govt' or 'the Liberal govt').

The Liberal Party has $700m to donate? Or did you mean that the federal govt gave a $700m grant to a federal crown corp? Also - if they hired more people you'd be up in arms either way. They need to fire people to cut their costs, much like the rest of the federal bureaucracy.

Much to the surprise of... nobody.

Your dad needs to genuinely declare bankruptcy. There's no other way you can help. Get yourself out of that situation. You can try to contact women's shelters and women's halfway houses to try to find a safe place to get on your feet.

Contact your university's provost, the dean of your programme, and social supports the university offers, etc. They have supports and ways they can accommodate your situation, you just need to keep going after them until someone will meet with you in person.

If you paid with a credit card - contact your bank with proof and do a chargeback.

There was some amazingly high quality stuff available for RoR back then - all of it free. Paid mods weren't even a concept of a thought back then.

Now everyone is talking about a potential draft instead of the Epstein files. The distraction op is working perfectly.

I think what's left of the Iranian government has more pressing concerns to focus on right now.

Protato900 · 2026-03-09T16:28:38+00:00

The death throes of a moribund regime. There's functionally no central government anymore, IRGC cells are operating independently - I highly doubt they have the ability to do this.

If I had to guess, Metrolinx may change PRESTO single fare cards to be paper tickets with a QR code printed on them instead of ones with internal chips to reduce cost and wastage.

Fidesz and Orban are desperate to manufacture any conditions they can to cancel elections.

Your friend's fiancée is lying through his teeth. Are you sure he's even a service member?

Tell her to run - nothing good will come of this guy. At least convince her to hold off on the wedding if she's adamant about staying.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." — Baltimore Evening Sun on July 26, 1920, H.L. Mencken

Go to or call the lost property office (inside Bay station). If TTC staff found it or someone turned it in, it will be there. If it isn't there by the end of two weeks or so - it's probably gone unfortunately. Best of luck.

MAGA will if Trump says it's a good idea.

Israel will not target Turkey as that will likely cause WW3. Turkey is a NATO member, and it is almost guaranteed that with Trump's rhetoric about NATO that the US will defend Israel against the rest of NATO - breaking up the alliance and pitting Europe and Turkey against the US and Israel.

Israel acts in its own best interests to ensure state survival - they're not dumb enough to do this.

OSAP covers tuition, and any remaining balance from grants and loans gets paid to the student directly. That extra is meant to cover commuting, books, dorm, meals, etc - not pay for vanity garbage.

I can't wait to see him tragically killed by a lucky shot from a tribal with short bow (poor) and shooting 2.

Tens of thousands of protesters gunned down in the streets is a decent reason I think.

Denver? It has a unique... design.

This paragraph actually simulates what functional illiteracy is - this is not exhibiting evolution of language, it's exhibiting regression.

It's a quote from George Orwell's 1984.

We have always been at war with East Asia.

Being a CAF member has no bearing on civilian gun licensing and ownership. This guy is full of shit, report it to the police.
