Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivers a blunt message to Russia:
“You cannot bomb Ukrainian cities and then send your junior players to Alberta to play hockey as if you were civilised people.
No Russian or Belarusian teams at the World Junior Championship. Not under your flags. Not under any other flags. Period.”

Any self-respecting Premier would simply resign over this one scandal.
Doug Ford has about 15 scandals as bad or worse than this.
It’s a level of corruption never seen before in Canada. I’m

Thousands of OSAP applications came from a single IP address, the Ford government now alleges.
Another great story from @allisonjones_cp

"We were driving through Colorado [and] we had the radio on and eight of the Top Ten songs were Beatles songs. In Colorado! 'I Want to Hold Your Hand,' all those early ones.
"They were doing things nobody was doing. Their chords were outrageous, just outrageous, and their harmonies made it all valid . . . but I kept it to myself that I really dug them. Everybody else thought they were for the teenyboppers, that they were gonna pass right away. But it was obvious to me that they had staying power. I knew they were pointing the direction where music had to go.
"In my head, the Beatles were it. It seemed to me a definite line was being drawn. This was something that never happened before . . .
"They were fantastic singers. To this day, it's hard to find a singer better than Lennon was, or than McCartney was and still is. I'm in awe of McCartney. He's about the only one that I'm in awe of. He can do it all. And he's never let up. He's got the gift for melody, he's got the gift for rhythm, he can play any instrument. He can scream and shout as good as anyone, and he can sing a ballad as good as anyone. And his melodies are effortless, that's what you have to be in awe of . . . he's just so damn effortless. I just wish he'd quit [laughs]. Everything that comes out of his mouth is just framed in melody.
"As for Lennon . . . John has taken poetics pretty far in popular music. A lot of his work is overlooked, but if you examine it, you’ll find key expressions that have never been said before to push across his point of view. Things that are symbolic of some inner reality and probably will never be said again.
"America should put statues up to the Beatles. They helped give this country’s pride back to it. I think they're the best."

Google announcing that schools banning AI will also lose access to Google Search is a pretty good opportunity to teach the next generation that Google isn’t the internet and that there are plenty of alternatives to its platforms. Maybe it’s time schools started exploring them.

How much money does the Ford government need to get from taxpayers to benefit their wealthy donors before Ontario votes them out?
We're into the billions now....(Therm Spa, Greenbelt, Ontario Place land, Career Colleges, Ontario Line overspend etc etc etc)
NDP Leader Marit Stiles says she sent Premier Doug Ford a photo of some of his cabinet ministers celebrating the opening of some private career colleges that are now under scrutiny.
Stiles says Ford "ripped up" the picture.

The fact that Google felt comfortable even threatening this is evidence enough that the anti-trust hammer needs to be brought down on them hard. We've let these corporations get away with too much for too long.
Google is now threatening America's schools, saying they will turn off their core search functions if schools choose to entirely block AI.

There are scams. Then there are monsters of scams. OSAP is one now. About a billion dollar drained from public education despite two years to tips to govt as Govt ministers attended glitzy dinners hosted by scammers. What could go wrong?
Another bombshell on the billion dollar OSAP scandal.
Over 8,300 OSAP applications came from just THREE IP addresses. The Ford government was warned as early as 2023 and received over 220 tips, complaints and referrals since January 2024.
They had the warnings. They refused to act until Oct 2026. Now students are paying the price.
We need a full forensic audit.

Keep in mind, 3 YEARS AGO, Ford’s govt was warned re: OSAP fraud. Yet last winter, Doug accused innocent students of abusing it, said “$ doesn’t grow on trees, OSAP wasn’t a freebie,” accused them of “buying fancy watches/cologne” mocked them for taking “basket weaving courses.”

I am absolutely sickened by the horrendous comments directed at this heroic young woman who did her duty to the very end.
She wasn’t even the Pilot in Command (PIC). Her job at that time was handling all the comms. The male pilot at the controls had already realized the graveness of the situation and had started praying as there was nothing either of them could do to save the aircraft.
Do not listen to the cockpit audio of her last minutes, please. It should not even have been made public.
Nathalia Filgueiras did her duty under the absolute worst of circumstances. She relayed factual information right up until impact while shoulder-rolling at 60° bank at 600 MPH. The information will be invaluable in the investigation.
Even as she knew her short but amazing 20 years of life were about to end, she devoted those last seconds to saving future lives by providing critical information to ground control that will inevitably save lives in the future by preventing these types of crashes. The very definition of Heroism. At only 20 years old. 😭💔🕯️
Please keep her, her family and the other crash victims in your prayers. 💔😭😢🙏

really dislike a lot of menswear trend reporting. "corduroy is making a comeback." "the humble cardigan is suddenly everywhere." "this season, it's all about layering." "brown is having a moment." yea man it's called fall/ winter clothing and it's getting cold

Actually, you’re just wasting millions of taxpayer dollars to rip out bike lanes which won't fix congestion but make roads less safe for everyone. All this to feed a culture war. So lame.

“Christianity may be good and Satanism evil. Under the Constitution, however, both are neutral. This is an important, but difficult, concept for many law enforcement officers to accept. They are paid to uphold the penal code, not the Ten Commandments…
The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don’t like that statement, but few can argue with it.”
