the lies and disdain for labor are bad enough, but the way the culture treats these unremarkable men like they're sociologists is salt in the wound

This one’s been around for years, but it feels 100 times more relevant lately than it ever has before.

It’s not the cities that are scary.

I thought I’d call it a night when it got to 5-2 but it just kept going on and on and on to the point where I was horror watching.

The Blues Jays’ playoff run is really just an elaborate conspiracy to give Trooper’s “Raise a Little Hell” a SOCAN royalty bump.

Ugh. This has been a trying week.

He doesn’t care. We renters are a blip, anomalies who had it coming to us because we’re not homeowners.

I’m not interested in buying some thing that only works via an app and requires a lifetime (increasingly pricey) subscription. I want buttons and nobs and I want the thing to work without me having to pay anything further, ever. And I don’t want it falling apart the day after the warranty expires.

These protections were removed from Spanish law a few years ago and it made the rental market go absolutely haywire in most cities. And where are people expected to move if the rents are high everywhere?

Eat the rich and everyone who enables them.

In particular, they want leases to no longer necessarily remain in effect indefinitely, so that landlords have more options for creating tenant turnover.

Current situation in left-hand column, proposal on the right:

Left column:

Under the RTA, all tenants have "security of tenure", which means
that tenants have a right to remain in their rental unit as long as they
follow the lease agreement and the RTA. Landlords cannot evict
tenants without a legally valid reason, and after a fixed-term lease
ends, the tenancy typically continues on a month-to-month basis.

Right column:

The government would consult on alternative options on lease agreement expiry that could allow landlords to control who occupies their units and for how long, allowing them to adjust tenancy arrangements based on market conditions, personal needs, or business strategies. This could add flexibility for some landlords in the approach to leases, potentially unlocking additional rental unit stock.

The Ford government has announced plans to shred a bunch of tenant protections: news.ontario.ca/assets/files... (pdf, see p. 13-15)

Trump has functionally killed America's international broadcasting apparatus.

Russia and China are making up the difference.

if we still care about democracy and liberalism abroad, countries like Canada need to step up. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Justin Ling: Canada needs to make its voice heard around the world. Here’s one clear way to do that.

To create stronger connections internationally, Canada can’t rely on the United States. We need to use our own soft diplomacy tools
