Legitimately, I work with the Ontario Craft Brewers and maintain a map of the breweries in the province.

I have been wondering when Lowertown was going to go under for years at this point. It's so generic that between wondering about its closure, I mostly forget about it.

It has a Keg to one side and Tucker's Marketplace to the other. That whole stretch of York Street is cursed with mediocrity aside from the Japanese Grill.

Worst people you know do one good thing and get pilloried for it.

Also this headline made me laugh: NDP On Track to pay off 2021 Election Debt, set to begin building campaign war chest.

Their war chest will be twelve dollars and a shoebox in the middle of the road.

I hadn't really paid attention to the pro-palestinian proestors arrested for throwing paint on an indigo store but I didn't realize what Heather Reisman was involved in:

HESEG Foundation for Lone Soldiers

[Provides] free tuition to former lone soldiers who serve in Israel's military under Israel Defense Forces.

HESEG provides money to cover tuition and living expenses for former "lone soldiers" who wish to remain in Israel to study after they've completed their military service

It's already pointed out on wikipedia, but i'm pretty sure that violates the Foreign Enlistment Act. Also supporting a foreign army is enough to qualify for charitable status. lmao

Sure it violates it but they volunteer for the good guys so it's okay. I can't imagine many of the 20,000 Canadians who joined the US Army to go do some My Lai's during Vietnam got charged

I've read that over the years she's given $100M to this effort she and her husband set up to entice mercenaries to join the IDF, and in return the Canadian taxpayer has subsidized them with $40M in charitable contribution tax incentives.

Definitely the best possible option in the caucus (by some margin). He'll be facing a lot of headwinds, I expect Marit Stiles will have it out for him and will have a huge amount of influence of the party at that particular moment in time.

Throw the book at them under the Foreign Enlistment Act for recruiting for a foreign military on Canadian soil.

Would it just take one local cop to make that arrests or would the RCMP be responsible for arresting some of the LPCs biggest donors? Because I can see one happening but not the other.

I'm not sure it would apply since technically they aren't recruiting, just rewarding people who've already signed up, and they aren't doing it on Canadian soil or targeting Canadian citizens in particular (I've read that the large majority of lone soldiers either come from the US or from former Soviet states). You can bet that if some cop was insane enough to make that arrest, Canada's best lawyers would forge an airtight case that rewarding people for service isn't technically the same thing as recruiting them to serve.

Of course, I just meant they'll still be there if Singh gets shitcanned after the next Federal election because they're not going to face their own ignominious electoral drubbing until 2026.

it was ridiculously contrived nostalgia from a bunch of people who were neither nostalgic for or even familiar with the thing they were trying to recreate

hey, remember being poor in the 90s and eating lovely cafeteria food when you got new clothes a couple times a year? HBC Brands®™ remembers!
