In addition I feel like google allows for like manipulation by the US gov.

We got receipts, for example: Mexico sues Google over changing Gulf of Mexico’s name for US users

Pika on the run!

That’s pretty chilling to hear. But great info, thanks for sharing!

Is this populism? Is this Trumpism? Instead of running the province well and communicating that to the electorate, you make up the idea of a referendum on an asinine idea and then market it as “listening to the people.” Irresponsible and effortless

I visited Chicago. Took a tour of Wrigley Field (where the Cubs play) and spent a little time in Wrigleyville (the surrounding area). I went to a White Sox game that evening (where my Blue Jays were playing). I got into a conversation with a gentleman in the seat behind me. He was talking disparagingly of the White Sox and I pointed that out, and he said “Oh I hate the White Sox. I’m only here because this is a free seat and a work outing.” The stands were very empty in the stadium. I don’t know if they offered stadium tours. I came away with the impression that the White Sox were a littler brother to the Cubs in Chicago than the Clippers are to the Lakers the or Mets are to the Yankees. So, if I was guessing, I’d guess a person affiliated with Chicago would be a Cubs fan if they’re a supporter of an MLB team in that city

Finally, a scale for the rest of us!

I’m pretty sure you can also stream it directly at christspiracy.com. There’s a skippable 1.5 min introduction of them asking you to donate to their work if you can and explaining how difficult it was to make the film. Then there’s an optional donation screen. Then you can watch the full film

Wow, really cool. Sounds like great progress for the industry. And it’s Canadian >.<! Good on AOL for covering this, although they should have used the “grilled cheese pull apart” test for the headline photo (copied below).

Good game so far. It’s fun seeing the old Raptors crew (Kawhi and Stormin’ Norman)

According to Loblaw, the cameras are only worn by trained store teams, including asset protection representatives, security and management.

[However] At the Parkdale Shoppers location, TorontoToday also witnessed cashiers wearing them.

Loblaw said if a camera is turned on, the employees are trained to verbally inform those around them and ensure everyone is aware.

As if!

Loblaw said stores choosing to deploy the body cameras are supposed to have signage at their entrances to inform customers of their use. If any footage collected is not required for police investigation, it’s deleted within 72 hours, the company said.

However, at the Shoppers in Parkdale on Thursday, TorontoToday could not locate signage specifically pertaining to the body cameras, though there were signs indicating that security cameras are in operation.

Though the goal of the program appears to be safety, the cameras leave a sour taste with James Turk — the director of Centre for Free Expression at Toronto Metropolitan University. He argued the program exposes an underlying issue where Loblaw no longer employs enough actual people to handle conflict efficiently by defending one another in numbers.

“They’re trying to do everything they can to eliminate the number of staff by having these automated checkouts and so forth,” he said. “In the days when there were more staff, if one member was having a problem and loud voices were raised, having other staff around was an important protection.”

If I’m frustrated by a lack of service in a corporate store, I know it’s the fault of a business decision to not have adequate staffing. I avoid these stores. In stores “we don’t accept any rudeness to our colleagues” or on phones “we’re experiencing a surge in call volume” are just codes for “we’re deliberately understaffing, we expect this will frustrate customers, and rather than staff adequately we’ve decided to lie to and police customers”

I have mixed emotions today. I grieved for a few days after tRump was elected in 2024, processing the state and direction of the US. I’ve never had such a powerful reaction to election results before. I’m guarding myself for the possibility that PP forms a minority government. Improbable but possible. I would hurt and be worried, like I was after tRump last fall.

I voted in the advance polls over Easter weekend, when 7.2 million Canadians turned out iirc. I felt a greater than usual sense of civic duty amongst voters in the voting station - like people felt it especially important to have their voice heard in this election.

Voting typically inspires some pride in me about this country we are fortunate to call home. And although I’ve nervously been checking CBC News today for issues at polling stations, I also take pride in our voting process. The shit that goes on in the States in and around voting stations is obscene and very undemocratic. Thankfully I’ve read about no voting-related issues so far. (Our thoughts though are with the Filipino community and everyone affected by the tragedy in BC.)

Ideally, I’d like to have a Liberal minority with an NDP coalition. Second best would be a Liberal majority. I think that’s the most likely outcome. For ABC reasons (especially now that C is MAGA-lite), I’d accept it.

tRump’s comments today - presumably undermining PP’s votes more than anything - surprised me. As did some comments DoFo made about PP and Carney over the weekend. It made me realize that the Conservative party leaders (Marlaina, schMoe, DoFo, PP) in this country have quite different relationships with the other adjacent political forces (i.e., Carney and tRump).

I’m looking forward to election coverage tonight! And I hope to breathe a sigh of relief soon. Don’t @#$% this one up, Canada!

It seems to me like this physician may be exploiting harm reduction practices for personal financial gain and tarnishing the reputation of safer supply clinics. Year after year he’s amongst the highest physician billers in the province; has something like 15 practice locations. He seems to only do virtual care appointments. I question the appropriateness of mainly/ exclusively virtual care appointments for this population. People accessing safer supply services often have many under-treated medical and social needs. Responsible providers seek to assess and address those needs during appointments centred around accessing safer drug supplies. This isn’t just compassionate care; it’s fiscally prudent by reducing urgent and acute care needs down the road - it’s all the same health system. I doubt much of that is included in what seem to be as quick as possible virtual care appointments. It seems like profiteering off a vulnerable population and a significant social issue given a lack of oversight

Excellent reminder and image, thank you

Jays fan here. I miss Teo but I’m very happy for him and the success he’s found with the Dodgers. I hope to see him again in the HR Derby!
