An open letter to Premier Tim Houston and MPs Kody Blois and Mike Kelloway From me, publisher of the Halifax Examiner

Folks, I give you the Canadian Taxpayers Federation: “"If we give MHAs a 23% salary increase … Are we going to get a 23% improvement in education or health care?” No dumbass, because you aren’t increasing those budgets by 23%. Are you familiar with how budgets work? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Senator Schiff appears to be emulating the Republican strategy of "just say what you want, it doesn't matter if it's true or if it even makes sense"

MLB owners will go into CBA negotiations insisting that only a salary cap can save baseball from rich teams always winning. The MLB World Series will feature the team with the 19th highest payroll playing a team with either the 28th or 29th highest payroll. www.fangraphs.com/roster-resou...

This Friday (Oct. 9): "Techbros, Science Fiction and the Ideologies for Silicon Valley" with Dr. Luke Ashworth @lucianashworth.bsky.social Location: Science Building (SN) 2033 Memorial University, St. John's 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM (NDT)

Parti Québécois à l’élection soi-disant catastrophique de 2008 qui a mené au virage identitaire: 28,35% des votes. Parti Québécois à l’élection de 2026: 28,02% (à 8h41).

15% point difference between the party that gets to govern & the party that got wiped out.

U.S. Friends: You can stop talking to us. It all rings very hollow. Talk to your own government clearly & directly. We’ll respect you more.

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via study that still underestimates climate cost. This isn’t about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice. #citymakingmath

Two ideas, held at once: 1. Playoff expansion is bad for the regular season and makes the playoffs a slog. Eight teams is best. 2. The next 36 hours are a lot of fun. Enjoy the games, everyone.

I was going to watch the baseball, but Old Hoss Radbourn isn’t pitching, hitting, & preparing a whole pig for the team’s dinner, so ….

“Rolling Stone” magazine? Never heard of it.

Voters will have to conclude there's another reason, and the obvious explanation is the NDP decided to place fast and loose with democratic conventions to extend their time in office by a couple of years—and It's hard to convince voters the other guys are the antidemocratic problem when you do that.

An underlying problem for the NDP in BC, and it's a possibly fatal one, is that the decision to call an election to keep Conservatives out of power is paradoxical, since the NDP could have accomplished the feat by not having an election. That cannot be the reason by definition.

There is always opportunism in politics & Canadians are used to leaders playing games with elections. But what Eby did here is beyond what most will accept - not surprised if it makes otherwise potential supporters hate him.

Not wanting anyone to think about your politics turns out to be the quickest path to *everyone* thinking about your politics.

They just want the undeclared mustard for themselves.

Why is Gen Z depressed? It’s a mystery.

Oooh. European hot dogs!

If Canadians want their MPs to have less power & to be more beholden to their party leaders, then they should support such legislation. If they want to elect MPs that can exert influence & make choices based on what electors want, then they should say no to this idea.

Woah!

Here is my letter to the MacDonald Laurier Institute on the subject of their appalling research. Use as you will. I recommend sending something of your own, though. And if you know anyone associated with MLI - and Board directors, say - send it to them, too.

Good time to remind folks that if you don’t need to service your car at the dealer, you are paying way too much by taking it there.

“You have all week to do it, and you don’t even really need to have plants in the first place,” replied Frog.

Quite likely the greatest essay ever or the worst piece of trash imaginable.

What kind of country would the US be if the president wasn’t qualified to work at the FBI?

We don’t care. Stop telling us & let us know when you’ve fixed it.

Time to fix that dumb wall

Now ask them what details of the proposed deal they can recall

Having slept on it I have decided that the Lake America shit is hilarious. I will not be taking questions at this time.

So … here is the problem with any T***p official claiming that someone else is lying …

I enjoy a good hotdog, & I will enjoy some very cheap, somewhat gross food, but the hotdogs on Loonie Dog Night are disgusting & not worth what you pay IMO. It is gross that they are celebrating eating any amount of that food.

But please do joke about California holding a Proposition 69 to join Canada.

I bet today he'd be lifted for another pitcher

Tough job to be CPC leader these days. I wonder if anyone wants to do it.

We should more accurately refer to our southern neighbour as the Partially-united Sub-states
