Proud Canadian born in Yellowknife now happily vaxxed in Toronto. Need more nice.
Like science esp. astronomy, news, reading everything but mostly SFF, horror, mystery.

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.
How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

Can someone explain why we need a new pipeline route through BC? Why can't they just double the TMX line, I don't get the need for a separate path? The Vancouver oil port only has a ship a day, surely it can handle one more? Can someone explain why Prince Rupert is even in play? #cdnpoli

Both Samir Shah and Robbie Gibb should be fired from the BBC, in fact the entire BBC Board should be fired.
And replaced with an elected board voted by the people of the UK.
Because there is nothing British about the US Billionaire bootlicking sham we have now.

On 32 Thoughts, Elliotte Friedman said the Leafs are actively looking to make moves, but “I am not sure right now, baring trading the guys they don’t want to trade, that Toronto has that ability right to pull something off that’s really going to make a major difference for them”
