The oligarchs want political power to advantage their businesses. The autocrat wants key businesses to be controlled by allies in service of strengthening his regime.
These arrangements work out nicely for everyone until the oligarch accidentally falls out of a window.

I've filtered Ottawa's traffic collision data to show only collisions with injuries for each year, and then added the speed camera locations present in those years.
It looks like speed cameras have made the roads much safer.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

Instead of protecting Canadians from scams, Mark Carney’s Liberals are planning to develop a framework for stablecoins after crypto billionaires spent big to buy one in the United States.
The government claims it will “benefit men and youth by improving prosperity and good governance.” 🫠

So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

The math on Lansdowne 2.0 is all lies and gimmicks.
Like, $6 million from raising the hotel tax. That doesn't actually have anything to do with Lansdowne.
Say we raised property taxes 2% and just said it all goes to Lansdowne 2.0, is that Lansdowne 2.0 paying for itself? Of course not. 🧵
