I see the logic there. I like Swamp Water myself because it implies that it’s naturally occurring. The Joker to Batman’s spring water.

If you’re a vegetarian, can you eat plant-type Pokémon? Like… you could eat the flowering part of the venusaur, sure, but like can I just mow down on an oddish or vileplume that are, potentially, entirely plant matter? Or is a part of them meat?

DO NOT SEEK THE TREASURE One of my favorite scenes from O Brother Where Art Thou. I figured I should try to draw all 3 of the Soggy bottom boys, why not. #art #comic
🍳 A messy comic of a scene from O Brother Where Art Thou. Delmar and Everett are in a movie theater looking behind them in their seats. Delmar is saying " We thought you was a Toad" to a confused looking Pete (surrounded by question marks).

Primetime was everything I'd hoped for. Not mentioned in my review: the soundtrack is excellent. There's a Herrmann-esque quality to the whole thing. The straight strings parts are the most obvious--so crunchy and full of texture--but even the parts with electronics behind it don't lose that core.

If your argument is that no one is crying foul to it, therefore it's good for Carney to go ahead with it, then I recommend you find a sense of ethics and principles not tied to individual personalities.

Not sure I understand your argument here. From a business (and truly legal sense), a non-arms length relationship like this tied directly to funding is a no go. Period. Qualifications do not come into it, because the law is designed to protect against unconscious biases.

Did you miss the part where it's his wife? This is a non-arms length relationship. I've seen charitable organization board chairs (non-paid positions, as here) get torn apart by the CRA for less than this.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

Carney is truly the Reagan of Canada. A calming, paternalistic figure in a period of apocalyptic uncertainty who galvanizes the economy with short-sighted right wing fiscal policies. And like Reagan, every disaster that Canada encounters in the future will be traceable to his administration.

This article outlines most of the salient points. The issue at hand is that this airport sale opens Canadian airports up to for-profit industries for the first time, ever. This is the Australian model. Carney said it's not a great model; he never said he wasn't planning on doing the same.

THAT's what you see this as? It's your belief that workers should have their right to strike curtailed based on a minister's opinion in order to approve a project for foreign investors? The better future where climate collapse occurs due to the unilaterial decisions Carney's making today?

Nick "Big Stretch" Davis @dickrnavis.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
What proof do you have that Canada’s not following the Australian model? To my and many folks’ read, this appears to be the model that Carney’s following. Of course, if he took time to flesh out announcements instead of ramming it through we wouldn’t have to get into interpretations like this.

The most conservative Prime Minister in my lifetime. Harper and Mulroney wish they could get away with this much trickle down, regulation skirting bullshit.

Althia Raj: Whatever good is in Mark Carney’s Building Canada Strong Act is poisoned by the toxic rest
The Mark Carney government frames this law as part of its “Canada Strong” plan — and frankly, some parts are good — but toxic with good is still bad.

It’s not a simple 1:1 thing. He’s a gifted economist, which means he’s very good at hiding intent behind balance sheets.

Nah, he’s just lying to you. He’s further incorporated our economic ties with the US, generated a sense of deficit by cutting capital gains and environmental taxes from rich individuals and corps, so that he can justify selling off public assets to his corporate friends. Ergo, corruption.

He’s one of the primary investors in AI and has been flagged as offside by federal auditors due to how hard he’s pushing it. He’s the most environmentally disastrous PMs this century. He has already sided with scab labour and against unions. I agree he’s fiscally conservative. That’s a bad thing.

Why though??? I cannot figure out what people are seeing that I'm not. My assumption is they're listening to his words and not following his policy decisions. He's corrupt and far more conservative than Harper.
