When I was a teenager it seemed the only way to home ownership was as part of a marriage. In my 5th year working a law was put in place that ensured equal pay for men and women for the same work. I received a substantial pay increase immediately.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Ford govt MPPs collected donations from shady private career college operators while the OSAP system was being ripped off under their noses. When the scam could no longer be ignored, they kept the donations but cut OSAP grants for all students www.thetrillium.ca/news/educati... #onpoli

In high school when I couldn't find my tribe. I went to a school for advanced students and then back in mainstream for high school. Eventually weirdos like me started to gravitate towards me and we created our own. I realized late in life people befriend me, I rarely initiate.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?

I'd like to see the Canadian federal government consider a special project with Canada Post to provide a cheaper shipping alternative to small businesses in Canada selling to Canadian customers.

This is a batshit response to attacking candidates who are winning primaries and elections, when the other side is fascists. If you think you have more to lose from lefty candidates winning office than MAGA's continued destruction, no one should take you seriously. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/u...

The Waterloo region begins a new era of living in a news desert. Shame on Rogers. They can afford Saturday night hockey but can't afford to provide reliable news content to one of the largest urban areas in Canada. And just in time for the next set of municipal and provincial election cycles.

Not a red cent of my tax dollars should go to fund a pipeline.

"Private-public" partnership. The public will pay the full load. The oil giants get all the profit. We paid $34 billion for TMX pipeline. The companies balked at having to pay their share through the toll rates so the public has been subsidizing 50 cents on the barrel. #astheplanetburns

My first stable corporate job in Toronto was due to a global corporation moving it's Canadian headquarters from Montreal to Toronto due to the separatist movement. Existing employees were offered relocation packages and many of them came to Toronto. I always think about this re Alberta.

While his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully. Read more: www.theverge.com/tech/949259/...

Get Jennings off CNN. He is stoking division and pushing hate speech. Just finished saying maximum warfare over and over again as some agenda being ousted by 'the far left'.

"Trump presided over catastrophic mismanagement of a global pandemic. Then he led an insurrection. And then we put him back in power again...that's damning." On the pod, @aselrod.bsky.social is great on what Trump's colossal unfitness says about our country: newrepublic.com/article/2089...

newrepublic.comDonald Trump’s America Is Deeply Unwell, and It’s Time to Say SoAs Trump reveals his unfitness in stark new ways, a political theroist argues that our election of this man to the presidency twice should prompt deep introspection about what we’ve become.

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.

Ontario is witnessing the consequences of unchecked power south of the border, and that serves as a warning here with the king of the Greenbelt. Proposed cuts to education and student grant structuring is wrong. Legislation to make discovery of ministerial communications has a giant red flag.

America is now on the clock. We have two weeks to remove Donald Trump from office through the 25th Amendment or impeachment. Not saying that will happen, only saying that a nation with even a shred of decency would get to work on it immediately.

I'm gonna say that senators and representatives posting on social media that the madness has to stop is pretty weak sauce. These are people who, unlike the rest of us, can actually DO something to stop the madness. So maybe put down your phones and get to work?

NEW: JD Vance says Americans should find comfort in the fact that our allies are "suffering more than we are" from high gas prices Even this is a lie, not that it matters for the person in the situation. Its not a competition of who suffers more.

There's only 2 countries in the world with illegal unchecked Nuclear Weapons. North Korea and Israel. One of these countries has attacked 9 countries in the last 2 years and is committing a genocide. It isn't North Korea.

Trump told us what he thinks of our soldiers and our efforts in Afghanistan. He can go fuck himself now. If Canada even gives this request a moment's thought, then Canadians need to be marching in the streets.

Canadians still have the World Series final in our core memories. Despite losing, we experienced something almost better. We had a team that showed how much they loved playing together and for Toronto and our country.

They showed gratitude to the fan base. There was no exclusion. We reject the lack of sportsmanship shown by the US hockey team and Trump. We embrace pride over division.

Canada should invite the American women's hockey team to join the Canadian women's team in a celebration of how far women's hockey has come. I was inspired watching both teams. As for Trump and the pumped up males who cheered on his derision of real athletes: f--k them.
