Never invade Russia in the winter. Never fight a land war in Asia. Never go for a third term as Prime Minister in Canada. It makes the electorate hate you. I don’t complain much about his policies, but Trudeau is screwing his own party over and now we might end up with the Trumpiest of Canadian politicians as PM.
Wasn’t that long ago Chrystia Freeland was supposed to take over the party leadership from Trudeau.
Too bad the old boys’ network behind the scenes decided that wasn’t good enough and kept JT at the helm … and now the Libs pay the price for their stupidity.
The allegations against L.B., made by an anonymous caller at 4:45 a.m. that day, were false. These included that she was a stripper (she worked at a home for people with disabilities); that she used drugs (none were found, and a drug test was negative for all substances); and that an abusive man lived with her and that she owned...

I always expect Preston to age gracefully, and turn into an old-school conservative.
Me too. There was a time I admired him for doing what he said he’d do (declining to live in Stornoway, the opposition leader’s official residence) but the last few years have shown me the error of my ways.
Technically he didn’t say anything in a public forum tho. The article states he was briefed on the storefront by someone else, and seeing as it seems to fall under classified info it’s unlikely we will ever find out who that someone is.

But in the province’s eastern region, which includes the capital of St. John’s and is home to roughly three-fifths of the provincial population, the number of people seeking medically assisted death climbed from 16 in 2019 to 107 in 2022, McKim said in his briefing note. There were 37 requests in the first quarter of 2023....
You seem to be advocating to throw out the baby with the bathwater here. In no way, shape or form is MAID a bad thing … even tho there are documented cases of bad actors being involved. Better training and regulation are required - and I question opening MAID to those suffering from mental health issues - but putting an end to it completely makes it sound like you’re a right-wing fundamentalist who is simply looking to force your beliefs on us all.
He was accused (wrongly) of stealing a Powerade, so cops saw fit to break his rib and one of his fingers. Then the SIU didn’t even investigate AND won’t say why.
Who the fuck is in charge here??? 'Cause whoever it is deserves a long jail sentence for dereliction of duty.
edit - And fuck Lowes for either not training their obviously racist staff properly or actually being a racist company itself.

Not really tho, as Israel as a nation didn’t exist until 1948 … a mere 75 years ago. And in the beginning it was not powerful, nor able to withstand incursions from surrounding nations who didn’t want Israel to exist.
Since then it has garnered the unwaivering support of the most powerful nation on earth and has become like the brutal spoiled child, demanding everything and doing whatever it must to get it.
But with a shutdown mere days away, and the new qanon Speaker flexing his stupidity for all to see, America is close to shutting down itself … never mind sending more aid to Ukraine.
The crash happened around 6:30 a.m. when the driver of a 2009 Honda Civic tried to outrun deputies from the Zavala County Sheriff’s Office and attempted to pass a semi truck, the state Department of Public Safety said. The Civic collided with a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox, which caught fire....
We have gone through these disclosures and identified which political representatives, and/or their spouses/common-law partners/dependents, fit into one or more of the following categories: 1) disclose residential rental property that they earn an income from; 2) disclose residential rental property without disclosing any income; 3) disclose non-residential property (vacant lots, farmland, etc.); 4) disclose some sort of other involvement in real estate (for example as a real estate agent, or with investments in real estate investment trusts).
So 128 MPs have some sort of involvement in real estate.

The all-white judges of Louisiana’s 5th Circuit Court of Appeal systematically ignored thousands of claims from prisoners, most of them Black, who said they had been wrongly convicted. Efforts to expose the decadelong injustice went unheard.
The failure of SCOTUS to recognize their complicity in Louisiana’s lackadaisical, and fundamentally illegal, judicial oversight is what is so gd shitty about this whole thing. Their belief that the lower state courts would take care of the issues, when in fact the lower courts WERE the fucking issue, is sad at best and destructive at worst.
America has no real justice at its core, and if nothing else that proves it doesn’t give a shit about its people. It has become a nation who’s more concerned about the wealth and privilege it protects than the actual people who live under its power.
Early in their roughly nine-minute encounter, the 45-year-old, who said she’d been visiting someone at the address, told the officer she was looking for her misplaced keys, footage from his body-worn camera shows.

“We cannot live with all these types of restrictions … this will, in my humble opinion, kill the short-term rental economy in Colorado,” said property management company owner Hillary Skye at this week’s hearing.
I used to live on a farm where my boss owned a tow-truck business. The pandemic hit us hard and I couldn’t afford the rent, so I had to sell my truck and move into a bachelor in the city. Six months ago I had to downsize again to a bedroom in a rooming house.
The RCMP has rejected 86 per cent of the allegations it’s reviewed so far against a controversial unit created to police resource protests in the Fairy Creek watershed in British Columbia, an analysis by CBC’s The Fifth Estate has found.
A brilliant film emerged from these skirmishes – but its core insight still takes work to unpack. For generations, a persistent myth that black families were irreparably broken by sloth and hedonism had been perpetuated by US culture. Congress’s landmark 1965 Moynihan Report, for example, blamed persistent racial inequality...
