A Jays playoff game and Leafs opening night? Guess it’s time to pour myself a tall glass of navy-strength gin and take my spare liver out of the freezer to thaw.

A startling start to the day: my bleary eyes just misread "Trump wants to invade Portland" as "Trump wants to invade Poland."

First they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was a centrist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was a centrist

Then they came for the centrists
And there was no one left
To explain that it wasn't *really* fascism

Name one thing John Tory accomplished during nine years as mayor of Toronto challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
www.thestar.com/news/gta/joh...

John Tory is weighing a comeback. Here’s what the fallout could be at Toronto City Hall — and when he’s expected to decide

Sources acknowledge Tory would likely face uncomfortable questions about his conduct in office if he ran again, but say they don’t believe it would be politically fatal.

Kids are breathing more toxic air in schools. We know how to fix it, but will Ontario act?

With wildfires raging and measles on the rise, the air in our schools is becoming more harmful to students.

There are no longer left-wingers, right-wingers, and centrists.

There are only progressives, regressives, and cowards.

It’s genuinely difficult not to feel hopeless when conservatives make everything worse all the time for everybody and yet keep getting elected. Fuck.

The number of journalist in this piece who draw the line at “letting AI do the writing” but are fine with “letting AI do the thinking” makes me want to walk into the ocean.

This is how you lose your edge — and the war on our industry as executives try to replace us.

They should pit him against Trump during trade negotiations: "The Art of the Deal" vs. "The Deal of the Art"

Eric Wickham @ericwickham.ca · May 13

I guess they didn't need a minister of art dealing on the side

Evan Solomon, Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation; and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario

Ditching Nate Erskine-Smith in favour of Evan Solomon, who wouldn't be the sharpest knife in a drawer full of spoons, seems not ideal: www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
