It’s also very funny that this is the first image on Brad Bradford’s endorsements page. Says it all, really. 😂
I don’t know how mayoral hopeful Chris Alexander expects to build a ground game in Toronto. He couldn’t even get a phone game going.
Until recently, i thought “squall” was just an old-timey sailor word.
What the Carneys of the world ignore is even the business case for slashing environmental protections doesn’t work. I work for a small business. We won’t get foot traffic until the smoke clears. No one will buy a coffee, sit on the patio, anything. This hurts business, it’s bad for the economy.
You know The Emmet Ray Whiskey and Jazz Bar on College St.? It’s a cafe by day now! Come get pastries, panini sandwiches, and espresso drinks made lovingly by yours truly.
Of Jesse Brown’s many failings, perhaps the most irredeemable is he thinks he’s very funny and edgy.
When people say Zionism simply means “the right to self determination,” the usually unspoken part is “at the exclusion and great cost of Palestinians.” I sort of respect Seinfeld for at least having the honestly to say the quiet part loud.
My parents took each other to The Guess Who in their hometown of Winnipeg for their 42nd wedding anniversary and that’s truly perfect.
I’m trying to remember facts about the South Asian bearcat but it’s binturong, I can’t.
Wait, what gently are we talking about? It just punishes people who already have nothing and nowhere to be. And most people who decline the “services” provided do so because the services are trash.
The lady we save our beer cans for brings my roommates and I little care packages of Chinese snacks. I have never heard of these in my life but they’re amazing.
I see. Basically what you and Steve talked about on the episode I paused just to fire off some skeets 😂. My feed right now:
Shout out to @spacingradio.bsky.social producer Neil who long ago gave me his Crave password which I can now use to watch the Tempo.
Jesse Brown hasn’t advertised his upcoming appearance at the Zionism Festival with Ben Shapiro on Canadaland, but he has put out a promo video with the brand wreathing his head. Is the union there still a thing? If so, I wonder how they feel about this.
It’s very telling that, in this Brad Bradford campaign video, the segment saying “Because It’s Never Felt Less Safe” shows a montage of unhoused people minding their own business. No crimes, no interactions, just people out in the cold.
Toronto firefighters put special constables in their place. From RTN on Reddit r/toronto
I know this one! What is “saudade,” Alex. Nice little tribute to the Portuguese community hidden on the Dufferin Station platform I only just noticed.
