Since when do Ben Mulroney & Kevin Vuong count as “political leadership”?
One is a disgraced ex-politician accused of sexual assault and other is lying nepo-baby conspiracy theorist. Neither of them even works in politics.
But Steve Paikin works for tax-funded TVO.
This has to be a violation.

Pardon me??
Ben Mulroney, host of Global News’ flagship political Sunday show, and prominent journalist Steve Paikin are both in Israel getting a briefing from the Israeli government???
What the absolute fuck, dude.

for people in Canada, if you do need a replacement, I highly recommend Second Cell. They sell refurbished smart phones, in a range of aesthetic conditions. I replaced my smashed phone will the same model for around $200 and it will last a while. Prices and service are great.
www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/h... "please, buy new phone. the economy is dying" is an incredible gaslight
Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it's costing economy
Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and the U.S. economy.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.
🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.
This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Two children have been killed every day in Gaza since the so-called ceasefire began.
Why has this disappeared from the headlines?
The genocide never ended — and our government is still complicit.
End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Six million Canadians are now covered under the NDP's dental care plan, saving people an average of $800 per year!
Dental care is primary health care. New Democrats won't stop fighting until every Canadian can access the dentist with their health card instead of their credit card.
