Go for it!

I do something similar a couple days a week. It looks just as good as a similar cut I’d get from a barber.

Will it be bad? Yes.

Will I watch it? Probably not.

But I might watch it when it comes to streaming services.

Ideally the federal government would have import requirements to prevent sweat-shop garments from making it in. But without that, sure.

I guess it depends when his last day is. The release doesn’t say.

Huh. I wonder what his story will be.

I’d rather see reform, but this is almost as good.

Actual reform would be the way to go.

UofT appears to have done a good job of keeping their books balanced, despite the glut of foreign students, but many others have not.

Thanks.

Or are you hatty to see me?

There was a second sandwich. Thrown from the grassy knoll. A second sandwich!

I misread that as Disney is creating a Fortnite attraction at one of their parks.

Our politicians are incredibly short sighted. It’s amazing that the same budget both defunds universities and says we want to attract the “best and the brightest” to those same universities.

Doran said the government needs to help regular people take part in the energy transition, with more support to retrofit their homes and enjoy lower utility bills, for example, or switch to electric vehicles that are cheaper to run. Overall, Canada needs to align better with the rest of the world on clean energy.

A federal inquiry into PRC interference—drawing on the insight of intelligence officials, diaspora community advocates, and national security experts—must not only ask hard questions, but also deliver enforceable recommendations. Like the Hillsborough Inquiry in the United Kingdom, or our own investigation into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, such an inquiry must run parallel to—not replace—any criminal investigations, ensuring that no stone is left unturned.

Didn’t the last one recommend the creation of a foreign influence registry? Wasn’t the legislation supporting it passed in 2024?

Another inquiry is fine, but that registry seems like it should be done first.

The lesson of the vanishing votes for Canada’s leading social democratic party is the same. People don’t believe that anyone will show up for them anymore. They don’t believe in the system’s capacity to make their lives better over decades, so they seek quick policy fixes that sound good now. Driven in large part by online platforms that deliberately atomize our experience, our society now speaks a new common tongue, a hybrid language of economic frustration, grievance, and isolation.

The single biggest item line over the five-year plan is an $56.6-billion investment in the Canadian Armed Forces. The second-biggest expense is actually the income-tax cut that the government passed in June ($27.2 billion).

Which tax cut? Oh, that tax cut:

“Those earning below the taxable threshold or relying heavily on non-refundable tax credits will see minimal benefit, while high earners will only benefit from the reduced rate on the first $57,375 of income.”

Interesting that he did this on budget day, like he was trying to hide the story. It’s weird, because his constituents will probably notice.

Then again, if he basically tied the Liberal candidate, maybe he’s hoping he can pick up those votes.

Sorry - I don’t think I worded that well. I’d try dates with folks who I didn’t feel chemistry. When I say chemistry, I mean social - not sexual. There are a handful of people that I click with socially, and then the vast majority that I don’t.

I ended up marrying one of the few people I do click with socially.

I’ve never really considered sexual chemistry before. In my experience, sex is an activity like many others: you need to practice to make it work; when you’re doing it with someone else, there’s a learning curve to get it right for both of you; and sometimes one or both of you don’t get it right, so it kinda sucks.

Asexual is a tag that came around long after I’d left the dating pool. I’m not really familiar with what it means.

Nope. I thought maybe I could find chemistry with people if I got to know them better, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. At least for me.

Going out to bars when I was a student. I wanted to spend time with people, not spend money on the outing.

Not pretended, but when I was dating, I’d say yes to a first date with anyone who seemed vaguely compatible. I’d try to make some chemistry happen. It didn’t.
