Seeing some Raptors posts about the team gaining more fans because it's an international fan base, but it's hard to root for a US team at this point. Raps let you have a non Darth Vader team... I think lhere's a big opportunity for the Canadian arts scene that follows this energy.

How many of the commentators, op-ed writers, and politicians *outraged* about the SCC's decision striking down mandatory minimums in child porn laws have said anything about X, or quit X, as a result of it propagating CSAM?
Canada isn't banning X and its ministers continue to use it. Ok. What are the consequences of creating child sex abuse material and deepfake porn? www.thestar.com/news/canada/...
Canada not considering a ban on X over deepfake controversy, AI minister says
The platform, which is owned by Elon Musk, has been embroiled in controversy over sexualized deepfakes of women and children created by X’s chatbot Grok.

Clearing that ice and watching the water flow is so damn satisfying. #thisis40
With the temperatures rising today, you can help the city prevent flooding by chipping the ice away from your nearest catch basin. Be a drain hero! We really appreciate your help.

The perfect two sentence story.
When I was 23, I saw a bunch of really cute velvet furniture on the side of the road, totally nice. Took it in and a year later a friend’s new gf came to my house and it turns out I’d stolen her entire living room while she was moving.

This was our experience in December - four of us went to NAC for a show. Cost of OC Transpo: $32.00. Cost of parking at City Hall: $2.
Family of 4 headed downtown on a Sunday for some wandering, shopping and exploration: $16.40 each way, $32.80 round trip. Parking for 2h $6
And we wonder why ppl drive.

When you live with mom and dad and they pay for the mortgage, groceries, and utilities, all your income is disposable.
Did the City of Nepean treat its own water and sewage, buy its own buses, pave its own arterial roads? It did not.
If someone with a severe mental illness and a drug addiction lost their housing, did that person sleep rough in Centrepointe?

Twenty-five years after Ottawa's amalgamation, still the same fantasy.
Nepean was debt-free largely because it could offload expensive infrastructure to the regional government and expensive social services to the smaller central City of Ottawa. Not its inherent virtue.
