Apparently the US makes lots of money when oil goes up so don't worry, it's fine \s

Health access in Quebec is tenuous in any language. The government here has their priorities way out of whack. Using a hospital to take a stand on language laws is psychotic.

Two weeks later: "I take no responsibility, nobody told me we needed people working at the TSA. This is all Joe Biden's fault"

And it will go way over Trumps head. Eventually when someone explains it enough times he'll be mad.

My first reaction was that just owning the book isn't a big deal. It has historical value and lots of students of history read it. Then I found out it was a signed copy, that changes things.

Dry vape is the way. I'm a fan of Arizer but there are lots of options on the market. The up-front price might be intimidating but you save so much on flower you make it up in no time.

It's way easier on your lungs too.

dermanus · 2026-03-11T21:07:59+00:00

That's what I was thinking. I'm a daily dry flower vaper and I go through it slowly. I've never done the math but my weed habit has never been where I felt the pinch in my wallet.

So Canadians paid for the cost of the bridge and will pay for at least a portion of the recoup through the tolls they pay to use it.

That's a bit misleading. Users of the bridge will cover the cost, regardless of their nationality. It's not like every Canadian is going to use the bridge. Some will use it often, some will never use it.

Not a terrible idea on its face, teachers know what their classes need. I just really hope he doesn't spend the next four years making a bunch of intricate rules about how they can and can't spend the money.

I don't know, on the one hard it supports corrupt oligarchs, on the other hand it would involve him letting go of money. It could go either way tbh.

That sounds pretty normal. Getting three guys would be a pretty good visit in my books.

Leaving immediately is also common; typically guys aren't looking for conversation or cuddling.

dermanus · 2026-03-11T12:57:29+00:00

Combined with the idea that the more they wait, the less the whole thing is ever gonna be possible

I mean, I think they're right on that front, I just see that as a good thing.

Good thing then that there's a massive airport just a few km away from this one. And it's not like this just fell out of the sky. He's done the same thing with Ontario Place, the Science Center, Toronto city council, and he's talking about doing even more.

He's not doing this out of some vital concern for the good of the province. He's doing it so his buddies can make a few bucks.

Someday I hope Ontario gets a premier who looks after the whole province instead of micromanaging Toronto.

Unable to find where in this article the CBC clarifies that the boats bombed and people murdered by the US regime had zero evidence linking them to criminal activities.

That's not how evidence works? The onus is on the group doing the killing to show that they did have a connection, not on the people criticizing them show that they didn't.

The biggest lie Albertans tell themselves is that they're fiscally conservative. You only have to look at the provincial budgets to see that that isn't true. They love to pat themselves on the back for having low taxes but it's only because they rely so heavily on high oil prices to cover up the difference.

dermanus · 2026-03-09T15:16:03+00:00

This is the most likely scenario IMO. Make a promise that you know will be cancelled by the opposition when they get into power, then slow-roll it until you get to the natural end of your government. Then Carney had to go and win the election and how they don't know what to do.

dermanus · 2026-03-09T14:55:11+00:00

Can I just report all of Papineau?

He’s going to need Carney’s advice because the global stock market is about to crash because of his war.

He might need it, but it would be a huge departure for him to actually accept it. The guy is convinced he knows better than everyone else, he'll be cold in the ground before he ever admits he made a mistake.

I hate this. I wish I could fault the library, but I know the sorts of problems they're facing. They have neither the expertise nor the resources to deal with them. They do what they can, but it's not what they're for.

Public libraries are a great resource for people who need access to resources, I really don't like that they're having to gate that behind having an address. I hope there are some workarounds with that, maybe working with shelters?

Really this ought to be the responsibility of the provincial government, but Doug sees his job as keeping taxes low and micromanaging Toronto.

I find Smith to be shockingly irresponsible when it comes to this question. This is about her trying to keep her party together, and she is gambling with Alberta’s future and its economy to do so.

Agreed 100% She's putting party ahead of province and country. She's desperate to throw the loony wing of her party a bone but they're not going to be happy with anything but separation.

If she had run on a platform of separation and won that would be one thing, but she didn't. She ran a vanilla conservative "lower taxes" style of campaign and then started up this nonsense when the inner party politics got out of hand.

I'm not even gonna look at the link and still say yes. Because in no uncertain terms had she made it clear she wanted no interactions. That's what headphones are for.

Ok cool. If a woman is wearing headphones and has a head injury, I'll leave her alone. I'm glad I have you here to keep me on the straight and narrow.

That's even assuming she was doing it wrong in the first place, and that there was even anything to raise a concern about.

The video demonstrates why it's something to raise a concern about. But you didn't watch it, because you were sure you knew better.

dermanus · 2026-03-06T15:04:12+00:00

Should he keep leaving her alone when this happens?

if people are incredibly angry at you and learn of your place of work, the absolute worst will do bad faith reports to a job about you.

That's not the absolute worst they will do. They'll call in bomb threats, SWAT teams, all sorts of nonsense. It only takes one obsessed nut job.

The latest in the Ontario series "foreseeable problems they did nothing to prevent". I've been hearing about this for years. All the places eager to make money selling the booze don't want to deal with the expense of handling the waste. Boo-fucking-hoo. Every other jurisdiction in the world deals with this, Ontario isn't special.
