Geddy also announced he's voting for Bad Brad Bradford for Toronto mayor. Glad I stopped listening to Rush in 1982.

There's a Canadian film, Zero Patience (1993), that's about patient zero.

Meanwhile over on X, the bots and potentially some real people who support Sutcliffe are freaking out about Leiper's proposal 1% infrastructure tax levy.

CBC and Ian Hanomansing really struggle with this issue tonight in trying to explain it, like they feared offending Zionists.

The house she shared with her then husband Scott Gilmore at that maybe? He's was a longtime Conservative (before switching to the Liberals) and is now Carney's principal secretary.

While this is good news, the outlook for the league as a whole is somewhat problematic given billionaire (and future convict) Mark Walter's current money issues: www.nytimes.com/athletic/752...

I think that's exactly it! As a result though Leiper is being too careful. It's likely he has lots of big ideas but has been advised not to make them part of his campaign.

You're own articles denouncing him, followed by other media reports, led to his resignation and likely to his death. Shameful.

Agreed. Leiper needs to step up his game and stop being so middle of the road.

Linguists call out Canada's Carney for 'utilizing' British spelling
A group of linguists are asking Prime Minister Carney to ditch British English in official documents, saying it is a matter of "pride".

Not sure that that is true. Z is much more commonly used and accepted for the words in question in Canada. Carney studied and wrote his PhD at Oxford and spent 7 years in England as Governor of the Bank. Seems likely he prefers the British spellings.

The Ottawa Bluesfest show was an interesting vibe because thousands of Ella Langley fans, most wearing cowboy boots and hats, showed up hours early for her show, and made of the majority of the people watching Angine de Poitrine.
