This is so abnormally cold for Toronto. Sure, we usually get a couple of days with these numbers, but this has been on and off for several weeks.

We reviewed more than 100 Minnesota license plates attached to immigration enforcement vehicles in recent weeks.
We found that nearly 60% were not registered with the state of Minnesota, including the Chevy Tahoe that federal agent Jonathan Ross traveled in the day he fatally shot Renee Good.

Scathing. And spot on.
🚨NEW: A federal judge out of Oregon has issued a sweeping rebuke of the DOJ’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls.
The opinion released Thursday concluded that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warned that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

Anyone else wondering why Bezos wants us to be chatting with an Alexa who now has the voice of a 13-year-old trying to sound sexy?
And why do all the voice assistants have to have perky “I can give you energy” tones?
I want something that sounds human, but smart and competent.

Checked on ticket purchases for Melanie’s today, the day after opening day.
In the general Toronto area, the highest number of seats sold for a showing is 7. Most of the showings have zero seats sold.
Most of the seats in the seven are adjacent in a single row, so likely a group. Image has 2
