Guy getting his hair cut just before me at a Queen St barbershop in late 90's Toronto had this weird douchey vibe and kinda smirked at me in the mirror When it was my turn and he'd left, the barber asked me if I knew who it was It was one of the Backstreet Boys at the height of their fame

After feedback from multiple people, I'm comfortable saying it: Ontario's Info & Privacy Commissioner has no clue what they're doing when searching for Greenbelt-related communications. This is first-year comp sci stuff that they don't know how to do. Absolutely incompetent. #OnPoli #CdnPoli

OK I am very much a coding novice, but Is it not possible to search for the term "G*" as a string literal rather than as a wildcard? With like, a backslash or whatever?

Carney's "border bill" betrays every promise he made during the election about Canada's relationship with the US. It is a deeply xenophobic bill that entangles us with US fascism. It also sets the stage to turn Canada into a surveillance state.

If Israel isn't stopped from committing more carnage, we are all fucked. Fuck every single hypocrite leader who has backed Netanyahu's evil unconditionally over the years. He'd rather take Israel and maybe the whole world down with him than give up his power and face justice.

Not only did Evan Solomon (Canada's minister of #AI) leave his journalism career in disgrace bc he used his position to be an extractivist middleman art broker, but the recently announced parliamentary secretary for that portfolio, Taleeb Noormohamed, flipped houses for years in Vancouver #CdnPoli

Spraying the ICE agents with paint using a repurposed fire extinguisher appears to be a turning point in this confrontation in Tucson today. Same tactic worked well against around thirty cops at a Montreal protest in Nov. 2024, blinding at least one and forcing a whole unit to retreat down an alley.

More of this please, and quickly. The only masterful scheme Carney is working on is to leverage our fear so he can sell us out to his asset manager pals

It worries me that the extent of Carney's backbone so far consists of meeting Big Oil behind closed doors, inviting two psychopaths to the G7 and having private chats with Trump. But I'm sure he has a cunning plan. Viva! #cdnpoli
