My new favourite tie. Note the gothic script The Globe ditched in 1990, and the orange stripe, which was once an ill-advised colour in our branding -- long before we had any colour at all in the
paper. One authority says it could be from the early 1970s. As I am myself.

I wish it made sense but this company, about which the government allegedly had enough concern to send an audit to the OPP two weeks ago, told me it still got $240,000 in taxpayer cash just last month. #ONpoli

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Listening to a podcast. Heard again that this is the largest federal deficit ever run outside of the pandemic.
Still nope.

I saw some commentary that this was the largest non-Covid-era deficit in federal history and it's probably worth dealing with that now.
I presume it's based on dollar value at the time the deficit was incurred, but that doesn't account for inflation or the changing size of the economy.

It’s such a bad idea, when one of his crimes was calling forth an insurrection, that he’s actually forbidden from holding the office by a constitutional provision, which a unanimous Supreme Court invented a way to turn off.
To repeat: Maybe electing a life-long criminal to an office where he can pardon other criminals wasn't such a good idea.
