Is our healthcare system perfect? Of course not, and no one serious is claiming that.

Even having no zero knowledge or experience with something won’t stop Americans from claiming they know everything about it.

We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

Clearly, you or your team has decided that all you have to do is repeat this message ad infinitum and, sadly, that's probably correct. But nowhere do I see an explanation of how the costs of artificially suppressing property tax increases will be paid. What won't we have?

More accurately, this is how corporate owmed news agencies spin bad news as someone else's fault, rather than criticize a Republican President. Canadians should be mindful that the American Public is fed bad intel.

Will I vote for Leiper? Yes. Am I enthusiastic about him? Not really, no. Will things get worse if he's mayor? Not intentionally. Will he stand up to OPS? Not likely. Will he be better than Sutcliffe? Of course. Will he offer any bold ideas? Nope. Do I think you should vote for him? Yes I do.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

The whole graf is hilarious The film (that I have not seen) “falls short on every dimension”
I haven't seen the film. This means I cannot confidently assess its editing, corroboration, or the full testimony it presents. I would love to live in a world in which I could wait, watch the movie, and have a sober debate about its claims.
Unfortunately, the discourse online is not so patient. That's why it's necessary to examine the argument its makers have published, the reporting on which it builds, and the standards by which its allegations should be judged. The film falls short on every dimension.

Ontario is named after a Huron/Wyandot word meaning "great lake" and America is named after an Italian liar and slave-trader who went to Brazil and fabricated half of the stuff in his accounts. Impossible to say which name is better

I don’t miss American alcohol. I don’t think about it. I won’t buy it any time soon. But the primary reason for pulling it was to leverage it in trade bargaining. So, yeah, go ahead and trade it back. That’s the point. Then the consumer can decide if they want to buy it.

There's just no real case to be made that Canada should be making concessions or expending energy to preserve and deepen our economic integration with the United States. They are an unreliable ally, and an empire in decline.
