Remember when BC Ferries built those three aluminum-hulled PacifiClass High Speed(Fast Cat) ferries that were supposed to bring transportation into the new age?
Proposed budget was $210M.
Actual budget was $450M and 3 years late.
Then became a colossal failure by being overweight, slower than projected, paint peeling off, too expensive to operate and couldn't operate in most terminals.
They refused to listen to their expert engineers who worked on their vessels when they said it wouldn't work.
They ended up being decommissioned a few years later and sold for $20M.
This is the largest example of provincial mismanagement and cost overruns in BC history.
Now imagine a $90BILLION dollar train system when Toronto can't even keep the Go Train running.

@FoodProfessor @ThevoiceAlexa Unfortunately too many people still think our media and government are independent of each other. In recent years that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Some personal news to share.
My regular column with La Presse has been suspended indefinitely this week, after 25 years and more than 1,000 columns. This was not my decision.
The decision is linked to recent public comments I made on social media regarding the evolving media landscape in Canada, including reflections on government support for media and its potential implications. I understand that these are sensitive and complex issues, and my remarks may not have aligned with the publication’s perspective.
While I am disappointed, I fully respect their decision and remain grateful for the opportunity I’ve had to contribute over the years.
I would also like to note that my contributions were always made on a voluntary basis. I was never compensated for my columns, and have personally supported La Presse through a paid subscription throughout that time. It has truly been a privilege to write for such an important institution.
I continue to believe that open, thoughtful discussions about the future of media in Canada are both necessary and healthy.

@JasonUrness See this is what I’m focusing on. Jeremy Hansen represents the best of us. He’s the total opposite of the miserable and selfish boomers who fantasize about defending the Peace Bridge against an American invasion while they burn the country down themselves.

🚨🇺🇸 The President of the United States woke up this morning and posted a 150-word personal attack on Bruce Springsteen.
Called him a dried up prune. Insulted his plastic surgeon. Told his supporters to boycott concerts that "suck."
Somewhere a CENTCOM briefing is waiting. Somewhere four astronauts are floating toward the Moon. Somewhere oil traders are checking $108 on their screens.
And Trump had the nerves.

@VoyceReason Oh it’s just Pierre that speaking out against this is it? Could you be more ignorant and uniformed?

For perspective, Uzbekistan has had a 600km HIGH SPEED RAIL connection between its two largest cities for 15 YEARS now.
UZBEKISTAN.
The distance between Montréal and Toronto is about 540km.
But Pierre Poilievre thinks it's just too big for 🇨🇦 to handle?

The question to ask is, why can’t the government build anything without giving hand outs to their friends? Why do they have to defraud the Canadian tax payer on any project they attempt? Why are they always over budget? Why are they never finished on time? The insiders get rich and the tax payers pay more tax. That is why it is not common sense.
English

High-speed rail connecting the Montreal-Windsor corridor is the most common sense infrastructure investment imaginable.
If the federal government can't build railways in 2026, what's even the point?

The French President Just Reminded The World What Class Looks Like
Donald Trump stood in front of a camera and did what Donald Trump does. He mocked Emmanuel Macron’s wife. He put on a fake French accent. He told the world that Brigitte Macron “treats him extremely badly” and that the French president was “still recovering from a right hook to the jaw.”
It was the geopolitical equivalent of a man shouting at clouds.
Macron was in South Korea when someone asked him about it. He paused. He considered the question with the expression of a man who has just been informed that a golden retriever has urinated on his Bentley.
Then he said this:
“Neither elegant nor up to standard.”
Seven words. That was it. Seven words delivered with the quiet, devastating calm of someone who genuinely does not need to raise their voice because the staff will handle it.
It was the verbal equivalent of a single raised eyebrow from a man in a perfectly fitted suit, looking down at someone who has just spilled red wine on the carpet at Versailles.
Consider the man on the other end of that eyebrow. A man who wears a red baseball cap to diplomatic meetings and a white one to funerals. A man who arrives at the most solemn occasions in the world looking like he has just wandered in from a golf buggy. A man whose morning routine apparently involves industrial quantities of spray tan applied to a face that has, at various medical estimations, the cardiovascular profile of a blocked Manhattan sewer. A man whose idea of a state dinner is a quarter pounder eaten alone in a motorcade.
This is the man who decided to lecture the world about Emmanuel Macron’s marriage.
Trump called NATO a “paper tiger.” He mocked a head of state’s wife. He uploaded the whole embarrassing performance to the White House YouTube channel, briefly, before someone in the building apparently remembered that diplomacy exists and pulled the plug.
Macron’s response landed like a white glove placed gently on a table. Not thrown. Placed.
“Neither elegant nor up to standard.”
In French diplomatic circles, that sentence is a declaration of war. In English, it translates roughly to: I have noticed your behavior, and I find it beneath comment, which is why I am commenting on it once, quietly, before returning to matters of actual importance.
There is a man in this story who has spent eighty years on this earth and still cannot find a suit that fits, a tie that stops at his belt, or a shade of foundation that occurs anywhere in nature.
And there is a man who responded to being publicly humiliated by the most powerful person on earth with seven words and a expression that could freeze the Seine.
Macron has something Trump has spent his entire life trying to purchase and never quite managed.
Class.

@visegrad24 But she does, and she also took advantage of him when he was young. Macron is a complete buffoon.

Macron responded to Trump's remarks that his wife beats him
The French president called the U.S. president’s remarks “inappropriate,” telling that Trump’s words “are neither refined nor worthy.”
“I’m not going to respond to that. It doesn’t deserve a reply,” said Macron.

@MarioNawfal Politicians that lie and steal are not up to standard. Wearing nice suits and speaking elegant does not mean you have good manners. Macron is an imbecile.
English

🚨🇫🇷🇺🇸 Trump said Macron's wife beats him up.
Macron's response: "Trump talks too much... his remarks are neither elegant nor up to the standard."
Macron told Trump that he has bad manners.
In French this is a declaration of war.

🚨🇺🇸🇫🇷 Trump just mocked Macron by saying his wife "treats him extremely badly" and he's "still recovering from the right to the jaw." Brigitte Macron is 71. Emmanuel Macron is 48. They have been married since 2007.

Incredible footage of the crewed Artemis II mission launch to the Moon




Visegrád 24@visegrad24
Passengers on a commercial flight captured the launch of Artemis II on camera The plane happened to pass near the launch trajectory at the exact moment of liftoff, giving passengers a rare view of the rocket launch right from their windows.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! In front of MILLIONS of Americans President Trump exposes Barack Hussein Obama for giving Iran cash used to terrorize the world
"Hussein Obama gave them $1.7 billion in cash, green, green cash! Took it out of banks from Virginia, D.C., and Maryland."
"All the cash they had flew it by airplanes in an attempt to buy their respect and loyalty, but it didn't work."
"They LAUGHED at our President and went on with their mission to have a nuclear bomb!"
"His Iran deal would have led to a colossal arsenal of massive nuclear weapons for Iran, and they would have had them years ago, and they would have used them, would have been a different world."
Traitor!
