You can't blame Ed Sheeran for caving in to American stadium owners I suppose. I mean, take these guys in the 60s, they refused to play to racially-segregated audiences in stadiums in the southern states of the USA and who remembers them now?

You only conceal privatization of airports until it's almost a done deal if you know Canadians wouldn't want privatization of our airports. #CdnPoli

hearing mark carney talk about how privatizing airports will free up money to invest in regional airports, transport links, broadband infrastructure makes me think of how nationalizing the pipeline was supposed to deliver revenues to pay for climate measures

“How much does it cost to become Prime Minister? That's the experiment Nigel Farage and Reform UK seem to be running, having received political donations of £72 million from two crypto billionaires.” Shouldn’t that be “how much does it cost to buy the Prime Ministership?”

I just told my MP I oppose Alberta’s proposed bitumen pipeline to the B.C. coast. It puts ecosystems at risk and locks Canada into a fossil fuel future. Let’s invest in renewables, protect nature and uphold Indigenous rights. share.nwmd.social/s/kFMts7kt please sign

For the Alberta NDP, Calgary-Shaw is an important test of their election readiness. For the UCP, a test of how much Smith's affiliation with separatists and Trumpists is hurting them among the general electorate.

In which case, Johnson would have the say on who he can seat. The US Constitution is a woefully poor document in the face of bad actors like Trump and the GOP.

Very sobering interview with @lastwordmsnow.bsky.social - the republicans can simply refuse to seat the winners of the midterms and then it would result in a constitutional crisis that would be for the SCOTUS to decide and they can choose to decide they have no power over Congress. #uspoli #cdnpoli

Oh.

Anything involving life and death should not be for profit. Healthcare, adequate shelter, education, food & water, insurance, etc. Profiting off others' misfortune is dastardly.

I am sorry for your situation. I can’t imagine how difficult that must be. I’m ashamed that I bitch about have to pay $15 for parking at the hospital. That’s it for any visit. For any reason. There are things, like healthcare, that shouldn’t be for profit.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

See, America, you gave birth to Trump and Trumpism. Suckers, losers, dummies, and...winners? Who really wins when most of your society are "losers"?

I will never forget my father explaining to me, as a young girl, that a major diff btw US and Canada was that in USA, if you bought smthg for $10 and found some sucker to pay you $100 for it, you 'deserved' that win, and dummy who bought it 'deserved' to pay it. ...(cont'd)

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

It is the era of brazen greed and corruption. I wonder how hard the Carneyites will go to defend this.
