Just got this in the mail. Thanks to @dharrison54 for letting me participate in this project and LexisNexis for all their help. Please note, I will likely be insufferable at holiday parties this year. Govern yourselves accordingly (but please still invite me to holiday parties).

@garymasonglobe A monarchy makes it less likely that a Trump-like PM could hold on to power after an election loss. That's why we retain the monarchy.

If the U.S. decided to invade and take over Canada, would Britain come to our defence? Not in a million years. Why do we have any connections to the monarchy? It’s a disgrace that we do.

Governments are generally immune from liability for policy decisions (as opposed to liability for negligent implementation). I haven't seen the claim, but this sounds like a stretch thestar.com/news/gta/etobi…

Obviously it'll depend on the text of the amendments, but giving authors the right to a portion of resale would mean architects of Toronto houses could be in for a big payday theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…

Might be some very big news coming shortly. Or maybe not. Who knows? But while we all wait, I just keep thinking about one thing. Still sort of processing it all, but the thing that jumps out to me over and over is that Freeland utterly poisoned the well for the next FinMin.

Whatever you think of the International Criminal Court or its legitimacy, the fact remains that Canadian law makes it an indictable offence to obstruct its work. I guess Poilievre would revoke Canada's ratification of the Rome Statute? canlii.org/en/ca/laws/sta…

Governments are already immune from liability for policy decisions. An order to remove bike lanes would be a policy decision. So, I'm not sure how much of a difference this makes.
Gil Meslin@g_meslin

It says a lot about #Bill212 when the government has to immediately issue an amendment to clarify that they cannot be held liable when people are eventually injured or killed as a result of their legislation.

@tracycassels @gator_gum Did she? I haven't read that anywhere. But even in that case, I think people would be wondering why, say, Mark Zuckerberg could buy a police escort to a meeting downtown.

All of these absolute clowns whining about Taylor Swift's 20 minute motorcade also totally complained about the Raptors Championship Parade right? Right? About the Freedom Convoy? Wait, no? They only bitch about Taylor? Weird.

Noticing that a number of people I follow are moving to Threads and/or Bluesky. If #TOPoli could settle on a single alternative, that would be great. Also, where's the menswear guy going?

On the other hand, nobody should care that he is Trump’s buddy. Good for him. Stop trying to cancel people you disagree with.

I repeat: Wayne Gretzky has brought shame to Canada. The Order of Canada should be withdrawn. He's a disgrace for many reasons not just for his embrace of fascism and white supremacy. He's also a gambling profiteer which is literally killing Canadians. We need to disavow him

I don't see how this lawsuit is viable. Even if social media has harmed students, the social media companies don't owe school boards a duty of care. And how have the boards (as opposed to the students) been harmed? thestar.com/politics/provi…
