@ritakozlov I tried to install locally to do some initial testing, didn't go smoothly. Will keep plugging away, but this is a HUGELY important project and will put in the time. Thank you CF!

bet cloudflare launching a wordpress successor wasn't on your 2026 bingo card but! it's wild how much (40%!!!) of the web is still wordpress. we decided it was time for a makeover. so... enter emdash — familiar look and feel, open-source (MIT), built on typescript + astro

The US Negotiators have put out list of "irritants" w/ Canada, including Provincial "buy Canadian" liquor rules. 3 things: 1) boycotts must be working 2) irrational leader threatening 51st state rhetoric? 3) do they still believe the US doesn't need Canada?

WOW....this could be a huge game changer. Very interested in checking this out!

@FoodProfessor I'd say produce the business plan and let us all review it. Then we can vote on the viability of it. My assumption is it would be laughable at best.

Checkout Politics: If government could run grocery stores efficiently, it would have done so already. There is, however, a far more credible path forward.

Super interesting observations.

Sadly NOT a joke.

Love April Fools. LOL

@RealKidPoker It entirely depends on the framework or purpose OF the debate/discussion. Two dudes having a BS chit-chat, you're correct. Stop being a stickler. If you're under oath and the specifics of the words (or values) matter, then it's not semantic it's imperative it's legally correct.

Semantic debate tactic to avoid acknowledging the truth: Person A: Every (blank) person reacted to the event like this. Truth: ***A large majority of (blank) people did react like this, but not 100% of them*** Person B: That’s not true. You said every (blank) person reacted like this but that’s a lie! You are lying, you know that is a lie. Can you admit that you are lying? **** Person A used “every” instead of “many” so person B jumped on the semantic argument because person B knows that what person A said was closer to true than false. So now, instead of debating the merits of the argument, the buffoon with no argument shifts the argument to being about the difference between the word “every” and “many.” When people resort to this tactic it’s because they do not have a good response that supports their narrative. It can be effective, but I find it loathsome when people take this route, it’s just so incredibly lame.

@eastdakota @GamewithDave Was gonna say Quake II, really innovative for the time.

@GamewithDave Quake

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what's the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why?

@FoodProfessor If we got a pure apples-to-apples comparison of the benefits and shortcomings of private and government stores, the choice should be SO obvious. How we live in the most technological and educated time and still believe straw-man and snake oil options is beyond understanding.

10 years ago, Canadians would have laughed at the idea of government-run grocery stores. Today, we’re seeing op-eds now trying to convince Canadians why it’s not a good idea. The fact that some need convincing is incredibly troubling.

@benjaminbach @jrodgers @tokifyi Not a Crown Corp, it's a publicly traded company. That does not take away from the honourable and amazing job the pilots did, the questionability of not making a French statement(??), or the forced retirement. Too much "faux-outrage" across the board these days. That's Canada.

@jrodgers @tokifyi TBF he was a CEO of a crown corp in a French Canadian province.

how many of them are in canada rn?

@jrodgers @tokifyi And the ACPPA was passed in 1985 so it's not like this is a recent law that was passed.

@jrodgers @tokifyi Air Canada is a publicly traded company, not a crown corporation, and has little government involvement (6% stake was sold around 2024 or something), leaving the "Air Canada Public Participation Act" as the only additional legacy. A legal requirement a CEO should clearly know.

@RichardCityNews $100k in 1996 is not $100k in 2026! Indexed for inflation that's about $187k today (87% increase in 30 years) which makes much more sense to report.

NEW - The 2025 Ontario Sunshine List is out. There are more than 400,000 people on this years list making more than 100K, up 7% from last year. Kenneth Hartwick, OPG special advisor $1,907,408.69 Nicolle Butcher, OPG President - $1,596,218.20 Kevin Smith, President & CEO UHN - $939,603.00 Doug Ford, Premier - $269,567.49 Marit Stiles, Opposition Leader - $233,334.05 Michael Lindsay, CEO Ontario Infrastructure And Lands Corporation - $531,990.88 Michael Lindsay, CEO Metrolinx - $327,439.36 Myron Demkiw, Toronto Police Chief - $445,366.60 Mandeep Lali, TTC CEO - $288,461.25

@angryark99 @RichardCityNews Absolutely -- $100k in 1996 is not $100k in 2026! Indexed for inflation that's about $187k today (87% increase in 30 years) which makes much more sense to report.

@RichardCityNews This 100k needs to be indexed to inflation this is just getting stupid.

@67Dodge How we need 1% of the total population employed by the government is beyond me. Even more baffling is we still have such shitty services based on that ratio. In the private sector this lack of efficiency and delivery would not be tolerated for a quarter let alone a decades.

@DerekAlldritt Ya, lots of places to cut with government 'stuff'.

I have 17 months before I start OAS. Don't touch it yet. Though I will be low income on the tax return.

@Samuel_Tr0ttier @StephenPunwasi It's no stretch. The US leaders are aggressively defending the ongoing war based on the ideology that Iran had numerous nuclear capabilities. Which they don't.

@StephenPunwasi I think it's a stretch to interpret this statement the way you did. Maybe he did mean literal nuclear vests, but I would need more context than what's provided here.

FYI a nuclear suicide vest isn’t feasible due to basic physics. Nuclear explosions require critical mass, which means slamming the particles together. It needs space, so containers are large & heavy. This isn’t limited by tech. It’s limited by physics and reality.

@ronmortgageguy It's actually easy to argue no one cares because we've been conditioned not to. Or at least to see it as positive. Fortune 500, Mag-7, Governments, and even our neighbours all carry huge debt to "whatever" ratios. All on the promise of future profit. Slight-of-hand for sure.

Nobody In Canada Really Cares About Government Deficits: Until We All Have To Care Ontario ran out another huge $14B Deficit yesterday The massive $88B Federal Government Deficit will be higher once we get the actual numbers The BC Deficit is a Ball Buster No one cares 2/

@Zer0owl @GeoRebekah She was identifying as a racist when she got hit not a female.

@GeoRebekah nothing remotely respectful about hitting a female

Enjoy watching this racist moron get his butt kicked after throwing out slurs.
