NEW: It’s been three years since the RCMP launched a criminal investigation into Premier Doug Ford’s Greenbelt land swap. A former Ontario attorney general says the Mounties should properly update the public on the status of the probe. www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

Three years later, RCMP says investigation into Doug Ford’s Greenbelt scandal is still ‘ongoing’

It has been more than 1,100 days since the Mounties launched their probe into Ford's $8.28-billion land swap on Oct. 10, 2023.

A screencapture, with alt-text, of my "hot take" summary from tonight's Hamilton mayoral debate. #yhmcc #yhmvote thepublicrecord.ca/2026/10/live...

And that’s it for the open floor tonight.

Gillespie had a very good night: got the most airtime, denounced Paul Fromm, touched on key campaign points, and is now clearly established as a key leader of Hamilton’s progressive-left.

Cooper had a bad night: had to be on the defense repeatedly, should’ve been prepared for the women’s productive rights questions, office budget. Instead, deflection and redirection did not work. Cooper needed to win the centre-right, and establish as the outsider candidate with inside knowledge. Did not do this.

Loomis had a good night, was well prepared, ready for the challenge/uncomfortable questions. But the USW 7135 endorsement statement seemed unclear, and depending on what the union says, we’ll see what happens. Loomis needed to have a safe night as the likely frontrunner (based on last year’s Liaison Strategies poll), and pretty much did.

Horwath had a good night as well. The incumbent mayor, Horwath had to defend a record. As an incumbent, the goal is to avoid gaffes and uncomfortable responses. The clip of Horwath saying “I’m outta here” is not a clear gaffe in that most people watching this televised debate were sharing the same feeling regarding the free-for-all talking over each other format.

The Liberals and Conservatives teamed up again today — funny how that keeps happening — to get Bill C-39 over the hurdle of its first vote. The massive, 243-page bill bulldozes environmental protections, Indigenous rights and attacks the right to strike. Here's what this means:

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

NYC is on track to have its lowest rate of shootings EVER, and the thing that is going to ruin that is the presence of ICE. If the police commissioner cannot pick the side of New Yorkers, she obviously has to be fired. The numbers do not lie.

Discworld QOTD, from The Fifth Elephant

“Well . . . if it happened . . . if it did . . . would you do what Vimes did? Carrot? Would it be you who picked up a weapon and came after me? I know you won’t lie. I’ve got to know. Would it be you?”
A little snow slid down from the trees. The wolves watched. Carrot looked up for a moment, at the gray sky, and then nodded.
“Yes.”
She sighed.
“Promise?” she said.

Dragged the kids out to the polls and got them to vote. After initial reluctance, by the time they were casting their ballots, they were grinning pretty hard. I am super proud of them, really truly adults! But, because they’re still kinda kids, the stickers were a big hit.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

But the helmet has gold decoration, and the bespoke armorers had made a new gleaming breastplate with useless gold ornamentation on it. Sam Vimes felt like a class traitor every time he wore it. He hated being thought of as one of those people that work stupid ornamental armor. It was gilt by association.

Lancre operated on the feudal system, which was to say, everyone feuded all the time and handed on the fight to their descendants. The chips on some shoulders had been passed down for generations. Some had antique value. A bloody good grudge, Lancre reckoned, was like a fine old wine. You looked after it carefully and left it to your children.
