Proudly anti-AI. If you can't make art or write yourself, then that's a skill issue.

This guy must have never tried to learn another language. Having a diverse neighbourhood with a community that can learn from and help one another and appreciate each other's culture, language and customs is my dream scenario.

Diverse, tolerant, empathetic communities are strong communities.

Good morning Ottawa.
Bonjour Ottawa.

It's been 48hrs since I called 311 to report these needles in a park in the Glebe, and they're still there this morning.

Hey but at least I'm paying the lowest taxes in Ontario.

look - social media is fun. I like looking at pictures of food and pets being silly. It's also a decent place to get news.

But the day I have to upload an ID or other biometrics just to log in is the day I leave. And I won't miss a beat.

This place is not vital to my existence.

Being the city with the lowest taxes would be really impressive if you were actually able to provide basic services.

FYI for anyone unaware the city of Ottawa has major budget shortfalls and is unable to keep basic services running because this cabbage refuses to raise property taxes.

This mayor is incompetent and unable to act in the interests of Ottawa's citizens, only the property developers.

America will question your country's sovereignty, insult/threaten allies, destroy the global aid system, threaten to leave NATO, launch unprovoked wars, support genocidal regimes, and send the global economy into a tailspin...

Yet Americans will still tell you not to comment on their politics...

Would she win? probably, but that's because a sack of potatoes on the DNC ticket would win. But she won't fix the root issues in the American political system, and she won't do anything substantial about Israel.

You need a true progressive to change things, otherwise you'll get MAGA 3.0 in 2032.

You're telling me Trump would rather spend all weekend working, conveniently sequestered from all media access and attention, and give up the possibility of a four-day weekend of avoiding responsibility and golfing at his Florida safe-space?

Pro-tip for media and journalists covering Iran: STOP REPORTING EVERY TIME TRUMP CLAIMS A POSSIBLE CEASEFIRE FFS

Unless you hear it from Iran, any mention of a ceasefire is an attempt at market manipulation. Don't make it easier for him to do so.

Turns out increasing fares while enshittifying service reduces ridership! Something anyone with a couple brain cells to rub together could have seen coming.

Every passing week that the economy continues to maintain this delusional faith in someone as unstable and decrepit as Trump reconfirms my belief that the field of economics is neither a science or even a social science, and instead should be considered creative/speculative fiction.

OPS saying the quiet part out loud that they wasted millions of dollars over-policing entirely peaceful and legal protests against a genocide.

This is probably just a ploy for yet another budget increase this year that would be better served in literally any other infrastructure.

It'll be interesting on Sunday when Keir Starmer doubles down on being the most hated man in Britain by having the Met police arrest a bunch of students and grandmothers (again) at the Al-Quds march.

Is some shadow billionaire paying Keir to purposefully fuck this up as bad as he has?

The more that I see these elite coffee snob influencers, the more I think that they just do not like coffee...

If you need $2000 of equipment to brew beans that cost 80$/pound just to tolerate your coffee, then you should maybe just find a different beverage you enjoy better.

Stuck on the train at Pimisi because this city's transit system shuts down every time it gets a bit icy... In one of the cities with the coldest and snowiest winters on earth.

Mayor Sutcliffe should lose his position simply based on the unsolved travesty that is OCTranspo.

What's deeply funny about this self-inflicted oil crisis is that it's just going to push renewables and electrification as a cheaper and more stable alternative.

Any country that doesn't want their economy to implode every time the US does something stupid will want to make the switch faster.

All the media reports trying to assure panic by writing about the "rapidly falling" price of oil, when it's still clinging to 90$/barrel reads like that line about chocolate rations from Nineteen Eighty Four.

Weird to publicly flex that the US is blatantly backstabbing Ukraine by lifting sanctions on Russia's biggest export when Trump just asked Zelensky for their anti-drone knowledge, tactics, and tech to deal with Iranian drones...

Bryan Johnson (48) spends an awfully large amount of money, time and effort to look pretty much exactly the same as some French dude the same age as him who smokes and drinks a bottle of wine every day.

And I'd bet money the French guy is still going to live longer.

Not if Galen Weston and other grocery oligarchs can do anything about it. He's gonna want that sweet, sweet profit at the expense of his fellow Canadians.

"Iran had concepts of a plan to pursue nuclear enrichment"

Without Dick Cheney around anymore, they really don't know how to convincingly lie about their warmongering.
