One of the instances in which it is actually emphatically true that by stifling left-liberal criticism of Israel on a liberal basis you just leave open room for nutjobs to do it and fill the space instead

Except its coming at the expense of the liberalified nenshi ndp. Not a great result all around!

A doctor with a health column in the Montreal Gazette has been ringing the alarm bells for years that it is way easier to access health information from YouTube than it is to see a real doctor (the system in quebec is mostly free but underfunded). Understanding that is important!

If you think about it, every doctor is a longevity doctor. The good ones, anyway.

I understand people getting upset with NBC News for writing about this shit, but also maybe get outside your bubble a bit. In America's diners and taverns, on the bus and in the office, online and off, everyone is clamoring to "enter the Tillyverse" and build artificial acting careers there.

I think among a certain section of white collar people data analysis took over everything. It's like how hockey stats guys used to go nuts for complementary players with good analytics who were pretty unremarkable. Charisma is often not quantifiable!

Paikin another toronto institution that needs to move on. A few too many conflicts of interest and mealy mouthed excuses from that guy too.

TIFF, the Giller, and now the TFCA all embroiled in controversies from attempts to stifle public speech critical of a genocide. Maybe the next festival will stop trying to be clever about this stuff and just let people talk?

Yes, those Chinese EVs will be spying on us β€” just like all the other cars Connected vehicles collect and sell vast amounts of driver data, and Canada’s weak privacy protections won’t likely change that anytime soon.

There are solutions but politicians and voters don't want any inconvenience so nothing is going to happen till that changes.

John Tory says he won’t run for mayor of Toronto The former mayor resigned in 2023 after admitting to an extramarital affair

Living close to downtown, I watched Toronto become a literal trash heap during John Tory's time as mayor. People weren't paying enough tax for the city to be able to fix the bins or empty them enough. His decision not to run again is the best he has ever made. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Probably pays much better. Musk has always underpaid his workers, motivating them by claiming they get to work at the cutting edge. So, not only can they have better working conditions elsewhere, but yow many people buy that Musk is leading the cutting edge anymore?

I read it more as President Make A Wish's diplomatic team leaned on Canada and other countries to congratulate him for killing Khameini and Canada having a stunted and aimless foreign policy apparatus going along with it.

I love how this goes from "the cuck un and iaea failed to do anything about the nuke loving Iranians. Which is why we need to return to international law for all parties."

This statement also borderline lies about the history considering that Iran did negotiate a treaty to stop developing nuclear weapons and Trump canceled it in bad faith and Biden didn't seriously try to reestablish it.
