This is true. Being an Ottawa fan (any team) is like having surprise paper cuts in the webbing between your fingers and toes.

@hedgequote If I’m not causing problems I’m not working hard enough.

Scholarship season is always a healthy reminder that the Insurance Industry does a ton of good but forgets to talk about it.

@ThomasWatsonCD I’ll do it as soon as they start respecting our staff and library space :)

Sometimes when the library teens are doing TikTok’s in the bathroom I wanna be like listen up, girls, this old librarian could teach you a thing or two about finding your best angles and light.

For whatever a view from Toronto may be worth, I don't think she's a separatist. I think she outsmarted herself and didn't grasp how the separatists would, gradually, box her in. Her real-time tactical moves to manage them were often smart in isolation, but added up to ... this.

For Danielle Smith and Alberta separatists, no clear path left for referendum after court loss. Pressure mounting for premier to commit to the vote her UCP base wants, but First Nations have blocked, @markusoff writes cbc.ca/news/canada/ca… Find out more at nationalnewswatch.com

@dmacpher You were such a hippie. I am super lame and rock the plain black man purse.

About every 10 years now that I use what is effectively one step up from a bill fold.
When I used a full fat wallet it was every 3 or 4 years as they wore out in the back pocket.
Hitchslap@Hitchslap1
Serious question for the men. How often do you replace your wallet?

@MattyWorthy32B @LeafSingh I can respect the Quebec Separatists for fielding candidates, having clear policy, having a plan that isn’t just “fuck you lets me a US State”, and for you know…respecting the norms of democracy.

I can even be surprised that the good father is a Dominican…like….not even a little surprised.

It’s time to shed the Multiclassing Cleric name. It was a fun joke when it started, but I kinda want to use my proper name for the time being.

@BrokerSteve412 Just BS it. If you’re right you’re brilliant. If you’re the the underwriter gave you bad info!

@ThomasWatsonCD LOL I need this experience…can’t say I’m familiar

“He just got the quote. Account renews at 12:01 am. Have the prospect ask him for optional $1k, $2.5k, and $5k auto deductibles from the wholesaler”

This is why insurers require your Drivers License History Report to give a Drivers Training Discount.
If this keeps up I expect we will see no more DTC discounts.

How much for a driver’s licence? Accused instructors and examiners appear in court over alleged Toronto-area test fraud scheme trib.al/nOOe75Z

For reference- Canada received its independence from the United Kingdom by asking nicely.
It was granted to us and did not require any seizing.
Eric St-Pierre@EricRStPierre
Freedom isn’t granted, it’s seized. Just like 1776. Alberta (and the West) holds the economic power to stand on its own. The time for asking politely is over.

Getting closer to the Ontario Nursing Service I have been recommending!!!
Wonderful news!
Sylvia Jones@SylviaJonesMPP
Through the #OntarioLearnandStayGrant, our government is fully covering tuition for nursing students like Ashley who agree to work after graduation in the community where they studied. Applications for this fall are open now! Visit Ontario.ca/LearnAndStay

@DavidMacLeodvet @calxandr These days the law seems to be “I have more things that go boom than you so I’m right.”
English
@calxandr Sinking / seizing the shadow fleet would be effective. Not sure on the law here but RS doesn’t follow int’l law & the system is failing anyway.
English
Moscow is headed for escalation, mobilization & new invasions. To break this unending cycle, we need a full allied military response & serious embargo of the Russian economy, including oil, gas & metals. Tepid half-measures only add fuel to the fires of fascist aggression.
Defense of Ukraine@DefenceU
One of the largest air attacks of the full-scale war came right after the so-called “parade ceasefire.” Another reminder: Russia does not seek peace. Russia must be forced into peace.

@ThomasWatsonCD @mattgurney Would you add investigative reporting? I find there is a real dearth of significant investigative reporting-it might help clean up politics …?

I stubbornly insist that Canada would be better off with a CBC than without one.
The question is what version of the CBC. Probably not this one.
WordsfromCanada@WordsfromC
@mattgurney Outside of urban boomer nostalgia what exactly is the CBC necessary for anymore?

@MikeTheNavyGuy1 @benshapiro I’m on track for Freedom 45. I only live once and as much as I love my work I’d like to spend at least a third of my life not grinding it out.
English
Imagine being a roofer working past 65. Thing is, @benshapiro has never had to do hard physical work so it's pretty easy for him to wax poetically about something he has zero knowledge on

Ben Shapiro: "No one in the United States should be retiring at 65 years old. Frankly, I think retirement itself is a stupid idea unless you have some sort of health problem."

@RomanFisher__ The PM has provided clarification that the photo was simply a photo at an event and not an endorsement.
I imagine he’s quite annoyed with how NES’ team spun it.
English
Ouch to both NES and the PMO. The worst part is that it really shouldn’t be all that difficult to beat Ford on his record.
Laura Stone@l_stone
NEW: Speaking to the Globe briefly at QP, Premier Ford said of Scarborough Southwest: "It's amazing how the Prime Minister endorsed him, and it still didn't put him over the finish line...The Liberals can't even run a nomination and they want to run the government?" #onpoli
