Godspeed, sweet, sweet girl. What an enormous hole you leave in our home, and in our hearts.… instagram.com/p/BKG8yQQjGBv/

The psychology of marketing is such an interesting thing. Receiving an "offer" from Starbucks that they'll give me extra ⭐️ if I complete a "challenge".
Needless to say, the "challenge" is just buying enough stuff that I wouldn't otherwise be purchasing...
This is particularly disgusting. Throwing out the winding up of the corp that manages Ontario Place with the "Friday Trash". (West Wing reference for those of a certain vintage)

Well, I think we can agree it's long past time for Hamilton's leaders to bravely set forth to foster relationships with Italy. If all goes well, we might develop a deep enough relationship to twin with and name streets after the cities being visited.
Hamilton Mayor Andrea Horwath is heading to Italy next month to foster relationships with Italian dignitaries. chch.com/mayor-andrea-horwat…

A reminder that you have a premier who introduced strong mayor powers, now having to contend with a mayor-elect that he called an “unmitigated disaster.”

I can't begin to tell you happy this makes me. I'm a @guardian Guardianista anyway, but this is putting your money where your mouth is. Despite no paywall, I'm heading off to resubscribe.

Due to hundreds of uncontrolled wildfires across Canada, New York City looks like a post-apocalyptic hellscape.
If you want a prelude of what the world is going to look like if we do not address man-made climate change — this is it.

I'm no expert, but surely there is a better way to resolve this than large fines transferring 💰 from municipality to the province, resulting in municipality experiencing a budget shortfall and needing relief from the province? There is one taxpayer... thespec.com/news/hamilton-re…

A giant in Civil Rights, on the silver screen and on the gridiron. The accused in many compelling and credible allegations of domestic violence.
"I'm no angel..." and "I...look my accuser in the eye. I don’t look at my shoes...I know what I am. I only have to live with myself."
I'm not sure $0.32 more expensive than the US is "owning the libs" quite the way you think it is.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.
BREAKING: Billionaires spent $1,000,000,000 on last year's midterm elections, setting a new record.
That's a 72% increase from the 2018 midterms.
These contributions aren't just drowning out voters' voices—billionaires are betting they'll make great returns on investment.
ALT Graph shows billionaire contributions by midterm cycle grow from $32 million in 2010 (Citizens United Decision) to $232 million in 2014, $611 million in 2018 and $1 billion in 2022.

Thank you @NicoleatTheSpec @TheSpec for compassionately telling Brent's story. The narrative of his life belongs only to his loved ones. I'm so privileged to be the one to help them negotiate the steps ahead, in his memory and to care for his soulmate Val. cc: @burlingtonlaw
