Jordan Leichnitz: "It's clear that the Liberals under Carney are building a big tent, and apparently it's such a big tent you can drive a trucker convoy through it"

YES!!!

god I hate this faux populist bullshit. K-12 is also free for rich people, as are public parks, the fire dept, libraries etc. Study after study shows means testing is the quickest way to gut programs for the rich AND the poor because it erodes the public base of support.

MLSE Keith Pelley: “Each team has certain verticals, and the verticals weren’t as horizontally integrated as they needed to be.”

It’s okay for hard things to be hard. On the subject of AI and writing, I like the way George Saunders puts it:

"CBC does not ask for money, including bank transfers or online payments, in interview requests." cbc.ca/news/canada/sc…

Zohran Mamdani’s administration has secured $1.8 million in restitution for 800+ NYC fast food and retail workers whose labor rights were violated.

Superb political ad. One of the best you’ll see. This is better, and resonates more, than anything coming from Labour or the Tories.

Zohran Mamdani is being heckled right now at a press conference in Brooklyn, NY, by someone whose words I can't hear, but watch how he's dealing with it. Mamdani has the unique skill of knowing how to handle and walk into every room and engage with people, no matter how toxic they are or how their feelings are against him. And many times, make them feel heard. Elected officials, nonprofit and religious leaders, advocates, and activists on both sides of the political spectrum who met with him told me that. Don't take my word for it, President Trump is pretty public about it. That's why he's currently the mayor of New York City. If you don't like his politics or you're like me, who opposed his candidacy and is still troubled by some of his actions and statements, then don't take this post the wrong way; read into it how you should be better to communicate your message. Yes, putting ego aside for any public figure is not easy.

Such a sociopath

Sixteen years ago, one man stood alone on a grassy hill at a music festival in Washington State, USA, and started dancing by himself. People glanced over and looked away. Some laughed. His roommate leaned in and warned him people were filming him. He did not stop. Then one stranger got up and joined him. Then another. Then the hillside tipped. Within minutes, hundreds of people were sprinting from across the field to be part of something that, thirty seconds earlier, had been one man being laughed at in a field. Someone filming from higher up the hill said quietly: "See what one man can do. One man can change the world." The clip spread across the internet in 2009. Entrepreneur Derek Sivers played it at a TED conference to explain how movements actually begin. Not with the first person brave enough to start, he argued, but with the first person willing to join them. Collin Wynter, the man dancing alone, later said he had no idea he had done anything special. He was just tired of watching everyone sit still.

Uh …

AND YET, TEAM CANADA DID NOT WANT HIM!!!!! WHY DREW DOUGHTY INSTEAD OF HUTSON?!?!?

The Leafs need a home crowd like this.

@Guylafur I KNOW! IT WAS A JOKE!!!

OH SURE! BUT HE WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR CANADA'S OLYMPIC TEAM!!!!!

That sort of looks and sounds like Joan Cusack.

Welcome to The Peg. 🩺

Awesome!

Despite all the love the TO sports media has for this guy, he's got no heart. This is one of the reasons this guy disappears at weird moments in the playoffs. Oh well. Don't have to worry about that this year.
