trump is not a conservative dresser. his style is only "conservative" when compared to other men in washington. when i was on a menswear forum, michael anton — a proponent of conservative dress — laid out a simple maxim for how to dress in good taste. he wrote: "trump = don't"

JD Vance: Trump likes more conservative dress. I learned this the hard way last year because it’s tradition for the vice president to welcome the Irish prime minister every St. Patrick’s Day. I decided to wear my shamrock socks to welcome the Irish prime minister. We’re sitting down in front of God and everybody — probably a hundred TV cameras during a live press conference — and the president starts his remarks, then looks over and says, “What is going on with those socks?” So I learned the hard way: dress conservatively around the president of the United States.

Worst #TornadoWarning we've had yet.
My wife, dogs, and I are safe in our basement right now. Fingers crossed the storm dies down soon!

@SilverFox917 @classic_film What a fascinating idea. All the dragons, reel and waltzes, R & S, Miss Melly and Maybelle Merriweather's Zuave.
English
@classic_film I would like to drop in on Gone with the Wind. Specifically the scene at the bazaar when Scarlett is dressed all in widow black and dances the Virginia Reel with Rhett. To see the shocked faces, would make me laugh right out loud. And of course I would join the dance.

It's officially May 16th, so happy #NationalClassicMovieDay!
Here's a fun challenge: If you could step into any classic film for one day, which world would you choose and why?
I'd go with the fantastic world of Jason & the Argonauts--though I might not survive for long!
English
In honor of #NationalClassicMovieDay, please share one of your VERY favorite Classic Movies… one you think everyone should see at least once.
I’m going with Twentieth Century with Carole Lombard and John Barrymore… one of the best comedies ever made!

@ACMillerAuthor Loved him! Gertrude and Heathcliff, Freddie the Freeloader. May God bless.

I visited my grandpa today and we were talking about his favorite childhood shows. He couldn't remember too many, but he said he loved The Red Skelton Hour.
I haven't seen even an episode of it, so I feel like I should give it a go. Anyone else enjoy it growing up, or even now?

@ColinDMello I wish they'd just say " showing no symptoms", asymptomatic is so easy to misunderstand.

On the Hantavirus: Ontario’s minister of health says the couple in Grey – Bruce County are still isolating and are asymptomatic.
3rd individual now in Peel Region who is being monitored and is in isolation.

David Lean's Oliver Twist is somehow disappointing. While the sets and cinematography are highly atmospheric and evocative, the script is unbalanced and rather confusing (thank heaven I've read the novel twice). Alec Guinness is a ham if there ever was one.
English
Am I the only one who doesn't really like Britbox's Other Bennet Sister? I'm not sure I want to watch 10 episodes....yee gods, that's a lot of staring forelornly into the mirror. Lizzie and Jane just wouldn't be that mean imo.

@ACMillerAuthor I love a good chicken salad! Rice and peas sounds like a nice addition, not sure about French dressing. It's almost Coronation Chicken w/out the chutney. The ratio of cran jelly to Chicken salad is way too much, but nothing here offends me.
English
The chicken salad needs to be IN the jello mold. Like come on.

2 million passengers in 2024. The Province says that could grow to 10M per year.
It’s not just a longer runway. Quadrupling operations. Terminal space? Gates? Fuel farm? Deicing area? Maintenance? Hangars and plane parking?
They are expropriating the Islands for a reason.

@FlaggHazel2 So many great things about this film - the music, the actors, the tribute to 30s musicals... I've loved it since first seeing it in the late 70s as a newly minted old movie buff in high school.

At Long Last Love in Milano for the first time on the big screen. I had to make it happen and it’s happening. Thrilled and scared : what if they hate it? Fingers crossed.

@alfranken Glad to see such a lovely photo. I've been concerned as your pod has been lots of repeats. I was worried something was wrong. Family time is the best.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Canada and Ontario are a democracy, but it often feels like we’ve lost *democratic culture*. You can see it in the debates we’re having (and lack there of). I’ll use the Toronto Island/Billy Bishop controversy as an example. 👇 First, what is the problem? - The island airport lease was set to expire in 2033, but has been extended to 2045 to figure out next steps. - The Q400 turboprop planes that fly out of the airport are no longer mass produced. - While maintenance works for the next decade or two, the island airport really has 2 options: Extend the runway to allow jets or shut down the airport. - - - The democratic approach to solving this problem would look like the following. 1) Establish a working group to evaluate future options, should be governed by clear stakeholders from all participants (Feds, Province, City, TPA etc). - Expand the airport - Maintain the airport - Shut the airport It should also propose a transparent mechanism for determining a path forward. This doesn’t mean every stakeholder gets what they want, but people understand how the decision is made and accept it. 2) Present clear futures to the public for scrutiny and debate. - Detailed proposals outlining cost/benefit/context/trade-offs/remediation. - Context of other potential infrastructure investments and developments (eg, HSR, Ontario Place, Port Lands) - Access and Local/regional transit upgrades to improve connections - Impacts on airline competition in the region, and remedying options (eg, upgrading Hamilton Airport) - The potential of working with De Havilland/Bombarier/Embraer on re-production of suitable planes for the existing or reduced runway expansion scope - Business/investment potential - Cultural and environmental impact 3) Period for public scrutiny. The reality is that reports and commissions get a lot wrong, because humans are fallible. Public advocacy (not NIMBYism) often improves outcomes and clarifies preferences. The public and civil society have a role here. 4) Decision by arms-length mechanism suggested in (1) and a clear/written justification for the approach. It should not be a partisan decision by the Ford government, which will be long gone before anything materializes. That’s how you ensure legitimacy going forward so a future gov doesn’t change course after spending billions of dollars. Not everyone will be happy, but at least people will know that fair consideration actually occurred. - - - The problem with the ham-fisted approach being pursued by Ford, TPA and the Conservatives (and from the shameless silence of the Federal Government) is that the public has very little information to go by. The city itself is completely in the dark. And yet, there is a rush to use eminent domain over the entire islands. It’s an authoritarian impulse to believe that opposition has no inherent legitimacy. I love democracy, debate, and ideas. Yet our leaders have been afraid to actually believe in it in their actions. Everyone is reacting pathologically. So, do I support the island airport expansion? I can’t possibly know. We literally don’t have the information to judge. And that’s the core democratic failure. All I can say is that we should demand better from @fordnation @PrabSarkaria @MarkJCarney cc @RunChiNguyenRun @WaterfrontAll @WaterfrontBIA @NoJetsTO

@JillDunlop1 And how much are you spending on lawsuits to keep DF's phone records a secret? and how much on ripping up Toronto bike lanes? and how much on destroying trees at Ontario Place? and how much for the questionable Eurotrash Spa?

Our government is investing $10 million to advance plans for a new state-of-the-art hospital in East Gwillimbury and the redevelopment of Southlake Health’s existing hospital in Newmarket.
This investment will help connect more than 250,000 people across northern York Region and southern Simcoe County to more convenient care close to home.

A great update to the Ookwemin Minising sees the middle of the new development transformed into a pedestrian space! This a huge improvement from the initial plan presented to council in 2024.
Waterfront Toronto@WaterfrontTO
This video explores the vision for Centre Commons as a green, pedestrian space running across the island. Centre Commons will be at the heart of the neighbourhood, an everyday civic space and urban living room — it's where kids learn to bike, caregivers chat while children play, and community pop-ups and markets take root. The result is a street defined by community, inviting reflection on how we name, share, and care for the places where daily life happens. About the project: We’re working on the fundamentals needed to develop new housing on this new island created through flood protection, called Ookwemin Minising. Design for the public spaces, streets, stormwater and sanitary pipes, and utility ducts that support the building of new homes started in summer 2025. Our international design team is integrating design for streets and public spaces with a review of the density and built form on the island. About the design team: Led by a partnership of global professional services company @GHDspeaks and global design studio SLA, the team includes Allies and Morrison (Architecture and Urban Design firm), Trophic Design (an Indigenous-owned landscape architecture firm), Transsolar (an international climate engineering firm), accessible design consultants @Level_PFAgency, with community outreach and public engagement led by Monumental Projects and Indigenous Engagement led by Trina Moyan and Shak Gobert. ➡️Learn more about the project: bit.ly/40jmsc6 ➡️A detailed transcript of this video is available here: waterfrontoronto.ca/descriptive-tr…
