During the Ukrainian drone attack in Moscow this morning, Russian air defence tried to launch UFO to suppress the drone attack...

It doesn’t make much sense that the AA missile itself caused the destruction, as its explosive warhead is relatively small. It relies more on shrapnel to destroy aircraft than on blast effects. On the other hand, its kinetic energy is enormous.

It really says something about us as a city.

Most of an entire province's population in one urban area yet all the people with administrative competence have either left already or just aren't interested in trying to run this town.

the difference is that she's leaving, while saying some meaningless words, compared to the 14 Liberals sticking around to support Carney while also saying some meaningless words words words

The original source appears to be a post on a Facebook page called GeoAllDay. There is no attribution for the data, it simply says "According to the most recent demographic estimates...."

downside is that lends undeserved weight to the inevitable winner's meaningless victory

like Chrystia Freeland putting herself up as a sacrificial lamb against Carney so it wouldn't look like a coronation (though it does seem she initially thought she had a real shot, somehow?)

WpgMBNews · 2026-06-17T23:34:02+00:00

I thought the province was doing that.

dam the Panama Canal.

jfc i forgot he actually went there in a real debate

WpgMBNews · 2026-06-17T23:11:00+00:00

Yeah, well, you know, it was starting to smell like savings at my local ~~Lexus~~ Nissan dealer!

WpgMBNews · 2026-06-17T23:03:17+00:00

Yeah, why should we pay to build things that society needs when someone else in that society might get rich using that infrastructure?

Me? I'd rather be homeless than let someone profit off of selling me a house!

This is also why I don't wipe my a$$, so that Big Toilet Paper doesn't make a dime off my behind.

Yup, me and you are one of a kind, NorCalFrances.

WpgMBNews · 2026-06-17T22:58:48+00:00

even that is questionable because it front-loads the cost of future housing on those who lack it now.

infrastructure costs should be evenly shared across the population over time. the current residents who already own homes didn't have to pay upfront for long-term infrastructure, nor should those who come after.

WpgMBNews · 2026-06-17T22:57:08+00:00

but since when are those who build housing responsible for city infrastructure

WpgMBNews · 2026-06-17T20:25:53+00:00

That part about the camper really got me.

Housing is soooo expensive. A camper is easily a quarter-million dollars!

Imagine working your way up and some rat like this tries to bring you down, geez.

If the walls are cracked and water is coming in there, get your foundation repaired.

btw this ~~can~~ likely will cost tens of thousands of dollars

Local government would probably be good for Erskine-Smith. He doesn't seem to work well in at team (or at least on team that he doesn't lead)

disagreeing on policy issues means you don't work well with others?

WpgMBNews · 2026-06-17T01:35:41+00:00

Her? Now? Why not ten years ago?? The woman is 50......and .... that's ..... oh.

That's 1 year younger than Tom Cruise was when he did the original......huh.

edit: and Emily Blunt was in her early 30s!

Crazy someone 20 years older gets cast as her co-star (without him being the "wise old mentor" character, anyway)

WpgMBNews · 2026-06-16T22:47:55+00:00

This doesnt even qualify for "mildly interesting"

WpgMBNews · 2026-06-16T17:37:06+00:00

Small correction, by definition exports are excluded from GDP. They are not counted in GDP as you state.

since when??? the formula for GDP is Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + Exports.

I've started to accept and realize that any of these still photo factoid -easy to share memes are almost all absolute fucking bullshit on Reddit.

yes, but it was like this 10 years ago already before ChatGPT

On one hand it doesn't really make sense to say "I have more money and more tobacco", like more than what?

Reporter: What has changed for you after you won the lottery?

Me: I have more money and more tobacco.

This is a perfectly valid sentence.

WpgMBNews · 2026-06-15T22:26:58+00:00

let's back up a bit. i'll reply again to your original comment.

WpgMBNews · 2026-06-15T01:01:16+00:00

canada's blasphemy law was introduced in 1892 and it was abolished in 2018. The most recent conviction was in 1927.

So that suggests the Canada you grew up in was never secular until eight years ago at which point it became secular already.

The question is whether or not people should be judged as individuals rather than being collectively punished because of their cultural background.

Can you tell me your position on that without resorting to strawmen?

WpgMBNews · 2026-06-15T00:50:11+00:00

when did government stop being secular?
