From one of ABC’s blogs: “Toronto can become a leader in urban problem-solving by adopting a comprehensive regulatory sandbox system that allows the City of Toronto to temporarily suspend or relax specific bylaws and regulations within a defined geographic area to test new ideas. This approach creates a “safe space” for innovation, enabling the city to gather real-world data on new technologies without the immediate need for permanent legislative changes.”

Regulation and bylaws bad. This is really original, fascinating stuff. Big brains hard at work.

He also has a new, inconsistent, and incoherent “thought” every two minutes. I’m just saying it may not be worth giving airtime to every one of them 🤷‍♂️

Who cares what Trump thinks?

“U.S. President Donald Trump had said in a social media post Sunday that Ukraine and Russia had agreed to what he described as an "energy ceasefire" without offering specifics on terms.

In an interview with Axios, Zelenskyy said Trump's post was the first he had heard of the deal“

🤦‍♂️

Seems like someone is desperate for good news to report.

Unprecedented!

Maybe a hotel development deal would change their minds.

I heard they were just a money grab and that there are actually certain times of day and streets where speed limits and other traffic laws should not apply.

This just in: Free speech absolutist strongly opposed to documentary about him.

"Canada has taken advantage of us for so many years. The worst of any country," Trump said.

Someone should tell this moron that repeating something excessively does not make it true.

"I love the Canadian people, but the leaders have taken advantage of our stupid leadership for many, many years. They felt emboldened. … They act like they're totally innocent. They're not. They were very bad. But now they're being taught a little lesson."

That’s rich coming from a frequent visitor of Epstein Island (though I suppose no lessons have been learned in his case).

This is the Kleptocracy tracker timeline from Johns Hopkins U. It puts each of Trump’s corrupt acts of self enrichment on an easy to read timeline. Well, it actually becomes difficult to read because there are so many events in such a short period of time.

Guys, stop being so unhinged; this isn’t a trade war!

I suppose it’s time for Canada to change its procurement policies accordingly.

Textbook dominance move. “We are going to hit you and you can’t hit us back. If you do, we will hit you again.”

In 2024, 10% of Meta’s annual revenue ($16B) was derived from ads for scams or banned goods (Source). Even better, they actually charge a higher price for ads that are automatically flagged as potentially problematic, augmenting the revenue generating capability of, and Meta’s dependence on, these ads. Internal documents also showed that Meta consciously chose a tempered approach to combatting such ads because of the revenue they bring in. But Zuckerberg draws the line at accepting ad revenues from a movie about an awful tech bro. Cool.

Stupidity is contagious.

We have dumb people living here too.

Notably: “The White House says, "Canada has extracted a persistent average annual goods trade deficit of roughly $50 billion from the U.S. over the last decade — while refusing reciprocal access."

The overall number is correct (it was $48.5 billion in 2025, according to the U.S. Trade Representative). But as premiers and others have repeatedly noted, the only reason for that is because Canada exported 3.9 million barrels of oil per day to the U.S. last year.

States near Canada's border need the oil, and it's sold at below-market prices, a significant economic advantage for the U.S.

If that oil were removed from the calculation, the U.S. would have a goods surplus with Canada. In other words, excluding energy, it exports more stuff to Canada than Canada exports to the U.S.”

Canadian wildfire smoke went south of the border and Trump responds with tariffs (instead of help with the fires). So I guess we know how Canada should respond to the increase in American coal pollution that will inevitably enter Canadian airspace.

Reading this, it seems that Canada does have a few things that the USA needs…

“"Prime Minister Carney used the term 'war.' It’s not a word we use, right? We don’t talk about it that way. For us, it’s business, it’s economics," Greer told the FT News Briefing podcast.”

I guess we could just do some “business” and “economics” and stop sending electricity and oil to the US…
