Want more? At @spacingstore.bsky.social , @johnlorinc.bsky.social has been investigating Therme for years (harassed by their hench-comms). Go back thru his archive. Maybe the NYT will wake more up in Ontario who shrug at Cdn reporting. spacing.ca/toronto/2024...

By the way, if you’ve never seen Michael Ironside’s commercial for Labatt Maximum Ice, please enjoy. It absolutely reads like it was made in the moment when “Highlander 2” stood a chance to be a blockbuster. youtu.be/DNTmHfCvnYc?...

She lost in the city of which she was mayor for a decade. She lost to an opponent who wasn't even an incumbent. It tells us a lot about Crombie's likeability. Her electability. None of it good. Of course there will be a lot of focus put on regaining official party status. But the leader's a dud.
