If I’m that guy, I’m already looking for a doctor capable of the “Faceoff” surgery.

I don’t know how the WSJ could miss George’s intentions with the museum. There are literally hours of him talking about it. youtu.be/img5TWcyd6o?...

Probably the most terminally online Canadian that’s ever lived. I see today’s “work” also included advice that emergency weather warnings should be ignored if they came from the mayor of Toronto.

So I guess this must be how it felt when they announced The Godfather Part 2, for those of us waiting for a sequel to the masterpiece, “How to Put Up Scaffolding”.

Probably in the 99% range that you can skip all of this with some-sort of mechanic with semaglutide injections. I can only imagine what the brands are called, in-game.

The worst outcome here, will be Ford grandstanding for an entire month— soaking up attention from similarly dumb comments, and focusing most of the Toronto media on his kayfabe back-and-forth with Trump, just as we kickoff another year of his systematic destruction of education in Ontario.

At the end of the era of so-called “American Greatness”, Robert McNamera was making the equivalent of $33,000,000 to run Ford. …but because America was both Great, and as we all know, overwhelmingly communist, he was on the hook for ~$29,000,000 in income tax. No lessons to learn there obviously.

Underrated good news to come out of this: the Secret Service is still clearly all kinds of fucked up. No functioning agency knowingly lets a person capable of writing those letters within 5 miles of the President.

The only thing I can remember about the preceding 3 movies, is a vague sense that I liked Andrew Garfield in the third one.

It was huge, lol. I think we’ve all accumulated books within a decade of that era where is probably unethical to even donate them. Box them up, “Raiders of the Lost Ark” style in the garage, or cottage fire kindling.

The opportunity for Canada to be a leader is to NOT adopt this mostly worthless technology, which is poised to kick start the worst financial crisis in human history.

🫡 That’s awesome, and thank you for settling that. I wish I still had mine. The set with the Lucas quote was by far the most watched of anything I ever owned in the VHS era.

I’m almost positive it wasn’t visible on the 4:3 VHS, if that’s what you were watching.

His arrogance in thinking he’s created a permanent binary choice between Canada’s “Republican and Democratic” parties is going to be his undoing, and I hope he continues on this path of somehow combining all of Paul Martin and Justin’s worst impulses.

After well over a decade of hate reading him on Rotten Tomatoes, it dawned on me that this pic has been used on every byline. He still uses a black and white version at the National Review, even though he looks like this now.

You can cut charges 100%, and as you are well aware, there is no voluntary incentive program that will do anything but line the pockets of developers. Until the government of Canada wakes up and realizes that only a crown corporation housing program can restore balance to housing, we are doomed.

Joe? "Joe." Try "Mr. Rogan". We work in the same corporation doesn't mean we can both roll on the ground with Eddie Bravo. You, and the people you work for, are destroying the most-respected, the highest-rated, the most-profitable supplements infomercial on this network!

There’s an alternate universe where French comes back from Iraq and threatens his wife with a bayonet after learning she liked a picture of a high school classmate on Facebook, followed by him stripping and running into the ocean to die like Bruce Dern in Coming Home.

With all due respect to Mr. Weisberg, his organization clearly has no incentive to fix the sorry state of justice in Ontario, and his members (and their clients) have been happy beneficiaries in the system’s collapse. Never been a worse time to be a victim of crime in this province.
