Personal news: my time at IRPP has come to an end after wrapping-up the multi-year industrial policy initiative. IRPP has begun a very timely trade diversification initiative that I'm excited to watch. But, fundamentally, I'm a housing and infrastructure guy. And those debates are going backwards.

As a single-issue fix the indoor heating bylaw voter, welcome to city council!

These guys are such cowards. Jesus. Parts of DC *were* bad in the 90s. Now, if you're afraid of walking around, you are the problem.

My one condition for closer cooperation with Europe is that they provide us with a steady stream of Club Mate. Also, that they don't go fascist. So two conditions.

This really is the purest distillation of Trumpism: the abusers get to run the world.

The world is full of countries that are either flirting with authoritarianism, or trying to get out from under it. Wish we'd learn from the latter.

Nothing says “aspiring authoritarian” quite like the regime posting a sign inside Independence Hall enlisting the public to report any deviations from an official propaganda version of history.

"Who does not obey shall not eat."

The Canadian Tire Centre is probably the most exactly how it sounds building in the NHL.

I'm sorry - aside from the fact that his hair seemed well groomed and who the hell cares if he's hot or not - is there actually a stereotype about Democrats not bathing?

The real question is how long until each of these can be one-shotted. COMIC ◆ www.smbc-comics.com/comic/future-5 PATREON ◆ www.patreon.com/ZachWeinersm... STORE ◆ smbc-store.myshopify.com

I'm just a simple Canadian. But I'd combat the he's for they/them ads with yeah we're for they/them, and everyone.

Listening to Jon Ossoff debate is like going to therapy for my soul. Related: I am not prepared for the results of the midterms. Decency is on the ballot. The part of me that has visited 43 states feels like it will win. The part of me that remembers the 2016 and 2024 elections isn't sure.

The LA Kings won a game, so RIP NHL No Win Club. 🏒

It's October 20th. People are still popping into group chats to complain how hot their units are. Really need to fix the indoor. Heating bylaws. Gotta back it up to at least second week of October.

There are a lot of reasons to be annoyed with the NHL (and Rogers!). But moving NY area start times from 7:30 to 7 is super annoying. Having every game hit intermission at the same time means I can't flip between games - part of the value of the app. www.nhl.com/islanders/ne...

I'm pre-nostalgic for the 504 Distillery, which is going to be out of commission from November to August. Yes, yes. I can walk up to Front to get the 504 Broadview, but it's annoying as hell. It's like if the city decided drivers have to walk a half kilometer to get in their cars.

Canadian folk wisdom is undefeated.

I had such unrelenting faith in the American people until 2015. I'll never feel that way again, but I really hope you can at least give the rest of the world a reason to not fear the American electorate on November 3rd. We're not asking for much, guys!

Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Has anyone tried: Look, every political coalition had its oddballs. We have the DSA, they have the KKK. I'll take our fringe over thiers.
