jrootham.ca @jrootham.ca · 14/10/2026The polls are not really a shrug. You do have a very unresponsive political system though. fiftyplusone.news/forecast/housefiftyplusone.news 000
jrootham.ca @jrootham.ca · 09/10/2026There are things I dislike much more than separation. I am in fact in agreement with many of the Quebec nationalist goals (Alberta flavour, not so much). Yvon Deschamps, a free and independent Quebec in a strong and united Canada. 110
jrootham.ca @jrootham.ca · 05/10/2026To do the well, actually thing. the CIA was set up to tell the president what was going on in the world, so yes they want to know the truth, and at one point they were good at assembling stat on the world and publishing it. The Directorate of Plans is something else again. 000
jrootham.ca @jrootham.ca · 04/10/2026I think we probably can. Certainly we can pick up brain activity, I think there is some research that says it is trainable. I assume it is more complicated than that otherwise we would have typing for paralyzed people. 000

jrootham.ca @jrootham.ca · 27/09/2026I am having trouble with this. The margin of this paper is insufficient to provide a proof. 001

jrootham.ca @jrootham.ca · 22/09/2026The Labour party went even more fascist to get rid of Jeremy Corbin. Not clear if that can ever be fixed. 200
jrootham.ca @jrootham.ca · 19/09/2026The elephant in the room about the police is the police union. They will absolutely torch any politician who dares to criticize the police. They will also torch anyone who points this out. 0140
jrootham.ca @jrootham.ca · 19/09/2026I was thinking elementary/high school. Is the American system that bad? 000
jrootham.ca @jrootham.ca · 19/09/2026I doubt they are unaware, hyperbole always risks "well, actually". 100

jrootham.ca @jrootham.ca · 17/09/2026Cite your sources. What part of the lead plant was not a zoning problem (and in fact not under the control of the city) do you not understand. 000

jrootham.ca @jrootham.ca · 17/09/2026You got any citations about who was on what side of those fights? 000
jrootham.ca @jrootham.ca · 17/09/2026The ability to say no is a requirement for being able to say yes. This has implications beyond the current subject. Internal (as well as internalized) constraints on saying no can damage your life. 000
jrootham.ca @jrootham.ca · 16/09/2026The people you're are complaining about downzoning the Annex were also the people leading the fight to shut down the battery crusher. It was not easy. The zoning had changed. It was a preexisting use. 200

jrootham.ca @jrootham.ca · 13/09/2026Referencing land assembly without mentioning blockbusting is disingenuous in the extreme. 000
jrootham.ca @jrootham.ca · 13/09/2026Also note, I am talking mostly about what happened south of Bloor St. , places like the Republic of Rathnelly were certainly upscale. Places like Cabbagetown became upscale precisely because of the reform movement. 000

jrootham.ca @jrootham.ca · 02/09/2026I was fortuitously outside Squirrely's when it threatened. Standing on the doorstep when it started to rain. Went in for a pint and a snack. Made it home before the next attack. 010
