This was a useful tool to see where local candidates and I align on the municipal election. It's too bad Colleen Stewart - Ward 15 - chose not to participate. My vote will go to one of the candidates who chose to participate instead! votecompass.thestar.com/

We get the same tax revenue from selling other wines, genius.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov

Without American wine on Canadian shelves, Canadians are also missing out on tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue they would obtain from selling our wine.

There has never been an "open borders" policy in this country, and she knows it. She was demanding more immigrants until it became convenient to scapegoat those immigrants for the very failures of her government in housing and healthcare. She's just bald-faced lying for her own political benefit.

You may not know the name Albertine Lapensée, but she was the first superstar of women's hockey in Canada. In her late-teens, she dominated the sport before abruptly quitting and disappearing from history when she was 20. This is her story. 📸 Montreal Star 🧵 1/10

Visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year. “We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.” www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

Microsoft Fabric has a serious identity architecture problem. Items depend on the user and device (!) identity of whoever created or last modified them. Get a new computer? Suddenly all hell breaks loose and workloads are failing. How is this a thing in a SaaS platform? This is hostile architecture.

The US already got a do over. A mulligan. A second chance. Much of the world, especially US allies, were ready to write off Trump’s first term as a fluke. The American people’s choice to put him back in power—as a convicted felon, after an openly bigoted, anti-democracy campaign—showed it was not.

Max Fawcett@maxfawcett.bsky.social

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.

We loved this so much we just had to put English subtitles on it, apologies to the French speakers for our translation. But this is what it would look like here in the UK if Farage or Lowe or another of their ilk got their own way.

We picked up 2 seats in the inaugural #PWHL #HamOnt membership seat selection today. Row 2 on one of the corners. Sweet seats. We can't wait to watch some games!

The timing of breaking my #Callaway 4-wood last week couldn't be better. Their latest ad with #GoodGood is a disgrace. Violence against women is a joke to you? GFY. I'm glad I don't have any more of their products in my golf bag.

Hey, Canadian golfers… change your passwords for Golf Canada if you have a login. I don't know about you but I've heard nothing from @golfcanada.bsky.social about this. It sucks that we hear it from a breach service first. FFS.

Have I Been Pwned@haveibeenpwned.com

New breach: Golf Canada had 569k unique email addresses allegedly obtained from its service around the middle of this year. Data also included name, DoB, gender and appx geographic location. 76% were already in @haveibeenpwned.com. Read more: haveibeenpwned.com/Breach/GolfC...

See you in court, creep.
