Car culture needs to be torn down and we need to start fresh
In Quebec City, an 11 year old boy was killed while he was on his bike earlier this year. A ceremony set for this weekend to install a ghost bike was cancelled because the boy's family has been inundated with hateful messages because ... speed bumps have been installed.

Crazy idea: Democrats should defend immigration and immigrants, run on the idea that immigrants make America great, and stop Homer Simpsoning themselves into the shrubbery every time Republicans try to demagogue it.
New Marist poll of Texas finds 61% say undocumented immigrants should stay in US if meet certain requirements. Only 35% say they should leave. A majority of noncollege white men (Trump base) says stay. Supports my case (see piece/thread below) that Trump opened way for new pro-immigrant consensus

Quebec had an election last night ... and our government was chosen with just 18% of the votes from registered voters. What will the PQ do with this abomination of an election outcome? My latest! noraloreto.substack.com/p/a-post-caq...

This is in response to news that we’re never going to profit from TMX, despite the government regularly calling the project “wildly profitable.” Anyway, when the whole argument for the infrastructure to be built is PROFIT-BASED, (unlike Canada Post!) yes you do!!
I read recently that we shouldn't measure public infrastructure by whether it generates a direct profit.

When I was a newspaper reporter, it was part of my job in Huntsville to go and witness the executions conducted at one of the prisons in town. I don't remember the exact number I was present for but it was close to at least a dozen, each of them via lethal injection. /1

Called it. www.thestar.com/sports/hocke...
The CBC's only move is to air PWHL games in the vacated Hockey Night in Canada slot. They could call this new broadcast... ...Hockey Night in Canada.

“What happened to St-Pierre Plamondon? How does one go from genial Gen X liberal who touts his non-white friends in speeches to scorched-earth nationalist who trades in linguistic boogeymen and vilified ethnicities?”
Parti Québécois leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon once pledged to be the antidote to the PQ’s xenophobia. Today, writes Martin Patriquian, he’s an “ideologically rudderless ambitionist” leading a hardline nationalist movement. https://ow.ly/hW1E50ZS5W8

An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings. Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.

Haus of Decline gets it!! ⬇️
Carney is truly the Reagan of Canada. A calming, paternalistic figure in a period of apocalyptic uncertainty who galvanizes the economy with short-sighted right wing fiscal policies. And like Reagan, every disaster that Canada encounters in the future will be traceable to his administration.
