3. No doubt most MSM, pundits and Carney partisans will not see it this way, they'll tub-thump about how this is all great news and what a fantastic announcement by the PM.

1. The fact that Canada needs a country wide food program for kids is an awful condemnation about how terrible the economy and wages are for 100,000s of families and a sign of the terrible job governments have been doing managing things for most of it's citizens.

2. Even scarier that the Feds...

I also remember when Carney welcomed her to the G7 summit by jumping to attention, giving her a jaunty salute and referring to her as one of his dearest friends. Gross.

I'm going to miss your column - especially all the writing about and reviews of books. Your responsible for me reading among other things The Complete Works of Primo Levi and Arlie Russell Hochschild & Adam Hochschild works.

Of the dozens of major cities I've spent time in all over the world Toronto is by far the worst at actively hating it's citizens & deliberately making the experience of being in it, traveling around it (using any mode of conveyance) and accessing services and infrastructure a miserable experience.

She's what I'm coming to think of as the 'Bluesky Special.'

A 'policy researcher,' 'analyst,' 'advocate,' 'activist' AND professional social media finger waging scolder.

Previously what society referred to as a Bore.

Hard for me to think of someone I could care less about getting screwed over by Trump than James.

Oh wait maybe Comey & Bolton, but that's about it.

Luke Kemps new book 'Goliath's Curse' has many fascinating sections dealing with the much more egalitarian nature of hunter/gatherer societies and the relationship between those types of societies with primate species. Very, very interesting and eye opening.

Canadians AND Americans have no idea of the true nature of what civilian populations have to do, and more importantly, sacrifice, in a real war situation. Even the level of impoverishment that WW2 cause in NA was a minor inconvenience compared to Europe. And don't even compare it to what the...

Was driving eastbound on Bremner Blvd. summer 1990 and almost got hit head on by a car travelling WEST in the eastbound lane. The guy passed us and he had his head out the window staring in awe at The SkyDome.

Considering the last times I was at games at The Skydive was nothing but a non-stop visual and aural assault of advertising, loud crappy music and a fair amount of nauseating 'celebrate' the military propananda garbage recognizing a piece of shit like Jordan Petersen would be in keeping with things.

...harder for them to dodge effects of 1000s of best jobs in manufacturing and industry drying up this fall with PR moves like speed cameras and emptying booze bottles on camera. Of course unleashing even more of the 'crazy' by Doug et al. will be destructive (but amusing on a fascinating level.)

And of course a neoliberal true believer like PM Carnage is at heart totally onboard with what Trump is doing. Carney has been working his entire life towards the world that is being brought into existence under Trump. Carney is saying the quiet part out loud.
