And to be clear, I obviously have absolutely nothing against that man or the trades, but I would love Doug to look me in the eye and explain how teaching music doesn't help your communities. Better yet, make use of my trumpet mute and shut the fuck up.

Why is "reduce harm" in scare quotes in this article? @ctvyourmorning.bsky.social www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

they should call no movement clauses the "Ted Lindsay Clause" and every single player should get one
The #NHL is monitoring the use of no- movement clauses Gary Bettman: "Use of NMC's has gone past original intention I don't think it's good for the player, I don't think it's good for the club, and I don't think it's good for fans watching and their connection to the game"
TIL I've been quoting Darwin every morning when i get out of bed for the last decade or so
Remember: Darwin's note of "I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything" was written on Oct 1 (1861). Thus we are free to celebrate Very Poorly And Very Stupid Hatred Day today.
RIP Cronos. Dude could never have imagined the world he would create.

I am sorry this dog died. Six years old. I am also pissed that this dog was forced to spend it's short life terrorizing people as an agent in the War on Drugs.

I live just outside the city and don't get a vote in the #ptbo municipal election. My endorsement doesn't mean a lot, but I have some knowledge of local issues around here and related to housing and drug policy. I would vote for Rob Hailman. @rjhelms.bsky.social if I could.
We had an MP in the 80s and early 90s in Peterborough who's big issue was bringing back the death penalty. He came to OAC Politics class to talk to us in 93. We had just spent weeks learning about Marshall, Truscott, Morin, Milgaard. He wasn't prepared. Have never seen a man flail so gracelessly.
" " - Mark Carney's comment on the US military bombing Venezuelan fishing boats
"The Canadian government therefore welcomes the opportunity for freedom, democracy, peace, and prosperity for the Venezuelan people." Mark Carney on the US miltary invasion of Venezuela, January 3, 2026.
“...(Iran is) the biggest exporter of terror. It was hell-bent on getting a nuclear weapon, and the force multiplier on that was terrible. We all have to support (the deal). But moving to this position, where that’s been taken off the table. Yes, that’s worth it.” Mark Carney, June 2026
Note that elected officials have had decades to put this kind of dent in the War on Drugs. Instead, a couple people acted in the face government inaction to save lives and fight for a court to declare that the government is violating our Charter Rights with its classist, racist, deadly drug laws.

note that it wasn't an elected official that did this. they will not help us, but we can help each other
A Michigan nurse is accused of helping an injured immigration detainee escape from a hospital while in federal custody.
The TRC handed the government a roadmap that two successive governments have chosen to essentially discard. The failure to implement the Calls-to-Action - notably in areas of health and "justice", but literally every section of the report - is unjustifiable and sure appears to be intentional.
It has been over 11 years since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released its 93 calls to action. Since then, 14 of them have been completed. That is just 15%. In over a decade. www.indigenouswatchdog.org/2026/09/01/t...

These folks should have voted for Nader. He seemed to want to be president and cared about the harm that GWB caused millions of people while Al Gore was making himself very wealthy from 2001 to 2008.
A good case from @dickpolman.bsky.social that this man’s selfish short-sightedness set us on path to where we are today. Excruciating insights on the wreckage of a legacy. dickpolman.substack.com/p/ralph-nade...
Lyndon Johnson was the only "culturally normal" US president, the one who really nailed the whole "we're the good guys" charade while bombing villagers around the world
Obama was the 2nd best president we've ever had. Why can't you be culturally normal.
