Deep cringe at the fact that the PM and major Liberal leadership candidates see the need to spend so much time on US TV shows. Big flashbacks to that night in Decemer 15 when Twitter was taken over by Liberal cabinet ministers posting selfies from a state dinner in DC with - squeee! - Obama!

This is a excellent summary of what investment in high-speed rail can accomplish. This can and should be done as a fully public undertaking. Stop partnering with subcontractors and competitors! www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

i saw your post the first 5000000 times you boosted people quoting it into my feed. I probably am not going to learn anything from the 5000001th boost. Man this place needs timed mutes across the board.

Voted. I always like to vote on actual voting day as opposed to mail-in or advance voting (not that those are bad! They're lovely!) because I do like the pomp and circumstance of going to Someplace On Official Voting Day and voting. Plus the poll workers are always so nice.

If you're keeping score, the NDP and Greens are implitctly committing about $1.5B/year to PSE student and institutions, the Tories between $150-200M/year (a bit unclear because some of their apprenticeship funding will go to unions), and the Liberals are offering negative $2-3 billion. Happy voting!

It is so fascinating how no university wants to get out ahead of others on this so they try to play it cool as long as they can then they start screaming and panicking all at once.

I am 51 years old and I have been playing video games since I was six years old, on a Pong console. Safe to say I have been gaming for pretty much longer than anyone you know unless you know some old nerds who were on PDPs playing Space Travel or oscilloscopes with Tennis for Two.
