A lot of fingers pointed at Vlad for the Jays' disappointing season (not entirely unwarranted) but the Yankees **spit!** are doing what they're doing without Aaron Judge for most of the season. Suggests a much deeper roster.

I'm not sorry I want actual impact on Canadians' lives even when the NDP is not an official party. Maybe my expectations are too high.

We agree here too. But Lewis hasn't accomplished anything. He hasn't won a by-election, he's barely a blip in federal politics. I want a strong and powerful NDP to force the Libs into progressive policy/get into govt. Lewis hasn't accomplished anything yet and I'm gonna keep hammering. No excuses

I agree with you on "you can never hope to change direction if you don't at least stake out positions that point you that way." I'm also saying it seems to me Lewis hasn't done shit over the last decade except empty sloganeering which you said would make him Poilievre-like. Trump is a weak excuse.

The National Post is using language that seems wildly irresponsible and dangerous here Citing ancient “Jewish law,” it labels Avi Lewis as a “rodef” The ultranationalist extremist who assassinated Yitzhak Rabin rationalized his killing on the same basis: www.theguardian.com/world/2020/o...
None of this applies, however, when a Jewish person presents a clear and present danger to the Jewish community. When that happens, Jewish thought is much more forceful: you must prevent the perpetrator from
causing harm.

Jewish law developed two character sketches to describe such scenarios. The first is known as a "mosar" — a Jewish person who informs to oppressive
authorities, potentially leading to the imprisonment, torture or death of community members. The second, called a "rodef," refers to a Jew who is actively pursuing another with the intent to harm or kill them. In both scenarios, the law is clear that a Jew is duty-bound to step in. Protecting the community and its members is the most important thing.It was around then that Yigal Amir, an earnest law student, made up his mind to kill the prime minister. Later he would insist he was not swayed by extremist rabbis; he had reached his own decision that Rabin - through his willingness to cede territory and to allow the creation of a Palestinian Authority, with its own armed police force - was a rodef and therefore a legitimate target. He got a weapon easily enough. With his brother, Amir was working on the creation of an anti-Palestinian militia. Nor was access difficult; on at least three occasions before the rally, Amir attended public events where Rabin was present. He was waiting for the right moment: he didn't want to shoot and miss.

again: the NDP could run a potted plant in uni-rosedale and i'd vote for the damn plant. Just as I criticized Singh for his poor leadership and complimented the fact he got my partner's grandparents dental coverage, I will do the same for Lewis who hasn't really moved the needle yet.

Less I dislike the packaging, more I'm results-oriented. Did the Leap Manifesto move the needle? Not to my knowledge. Good sloganeering tho! I think Lewis can and should be telling a better story about Cdn values and interweaving that with policy. Instead he's aping American political rhetoric.

Neighbour, a huge Ford fan, complained that no candidate has yet to knock on his door. I explained that it is harder to do since Ford doubled the size of the ward. He asked when did he do that and I almost punched him in the nose.

There must be literature written about how the automobile and its infrastructure gutted Glasgow. The freeway running through the middle of it came along with the 1960s urban renewal, I'm supposing? Clear signs of trying to reclaim some of the streetspace but, oh boy.

The RFP calls for much more than just removal of bike lanes – it calls for traffic signal changes, even placements of bus stops. Yonge, Bloor, and University are not provincial highways! If Ford wants to play Cities:Skylines, he should upload them at the very least.

If I’m reading this correctly, Toronto mayoral candidate Brad Bradford’s campaign is asking volunteers to give them full access to their contact lists on their *personal* cell phones? www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/28/i...
'You don't need to freak out about this'
Introducing Bradford's supporters to the app on the Zoom call, Punia instructed them to give the app permission to access all of their contacts.

"Do not give it partial contact ability, give it full. And what I want to say to you guys here is, you don't need to freak out about this," said Punia. He reassured them that only contacts they marked as known or potential Bradford supporters would be given to the campaign.

One attendee hesitated as she had over 2,400 contacts on her phone. She was instructed to give the app access to all of them and mark them one by one according to their level of support for Bradford.
