Justin made a deal with the devil where he gets good looks and popularity but he has to say the words Middle Class more and more times each day until eventually it will be literally all he can say.

he’ll still get re-elected at that point.

Lotta people on twitter claiming the cops actions were justified because Allan was "aggressive/trying to start a fight" earlier in the extended video. He's already on the ground and restrained when they punch him ffs.

Lotta people think that if you mouth off to a cop or are just uncooperative you deserve whatever they do to you, because a lotta people can't fathom de-escalation or that having your feelings hurt doesn't justify violence, an idea we try to instill in people in kindergarten. Most cops and cop-apologists operate at below a 1st-grade level of emotional maturity is what I'm saying.

Actually he has a podcast and gets published now

I mean, he's trying but he hasn't exactly been able to come back as a household name.

His first attempt at a comeback was hilariously bad podcast that was basically just him doing same thing he used to do on his intro bits on Q and he was roundly mocked for it. He's got some new thing now but it seemed to have been launched with intentional lack of fanfare.

We're #1! :toot:

Why were police in Thunder Bay, Ont. so curious about your COVID-19 status? Civil rights groups want to know
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/thunder-bay-police-covid-results-civil-liberties-1.5691132

This whole article somehow manages to avoid stating the blatantly obvious explanation that if you give people the power to look up the status of their neighbours they will obviously do it constantly.
My only question is how other cities' police forces didn't have this same issue. Were they just better at hiding it?

You use the present tense, but the reigning legend is probably still this guy who actually resigned... albeit also less than two years before mandatory retirement:

"Liberal Andrew Thompson resigned in 1998 after the Ottawa Citizen revealed he only attended about five per cent of sittings over more than a decade."

(Had been senator for 31 years, would only show up for the first week of each session to fulfil then-current "don't get kicked out" requirement)

I'd take an absentee senator over a Beyak any day.

Both my parents got vaccination appointments already, but only because they're both retired doctors who are still working at healthcare facilities in some capacity (dad is doing surgical assistant work part-time at a hospital and mom volunteered to help her former GP colleagues with a vaccination clinic which means she has to get the shot)

As a 30-something who's able to do a lot of my job from home I'll be genuinely surprised if I get my first shot before september.

Listening to CBC radio this morning saying that Ontario is moving the minimum age down sooner than expected... because they got less than stellar uptake among the 80+ crowd. Which is dismaying, but not surprising. I doubt it's much to do with vax hesitancy at all, I suspect it's way more that registration has to be done through an online portal and you can't get it through your GP. And i've never even heard the URL mentioned once as a fairly regular CBC1 listener. If you're a non-tech-savvy senior, you could have no idea how to register if you even know you're eligeable.

I'm so tired of hearing government health professionals interviewed on the radio who, when asked direct questions like "what am I allowed to do when I've had one dose?" give hemming-and-hawing "use your best judgment" type answers instead of giving some loving rules for people to follow.

I spend 8 months of 2018 at LU as a post-doc, working on the ReGreening project, the 40+ years of tree-planting on acidic, polluted soil that's actually working to return Sudbury to a forested city from its previous moonscape status.

I remember 20years ago if you were driving across Ontario you could tell when you were getting close to Sudbury because all the trees literally started getting shorter and then they got taller again as you drove away.
