I like politics and egg salad. My views are my own.

[David Jacobs @DrJacobsRad]

I think we need to stop using generic terms like 'place of worship' and start using very clear terms like synagogue.

If we are unwilling to name a problem, we will be unlikely to solve the problem.

Canadian society needs to move quickly against hatred towards Jews.

[Eric Lombardi (EricForOLP.ca) 🇨🇦🚀 @EricDLombardi]

Can I just point out how funny this is, given the paper is owned by Canada’s wealthiest billionaire family, all of whom inherited their wealth.

Should we hate them for that? Of course not, because that would be gross.

But, it reflects our tall-poppy syndrome at its finest.

Personally, I’m glad that the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan is getting a nice payout, as will many others who took a big risk investing in SpaceX.

I wish we had more audacious entrepreneurs making big bets and generating great jobs and wealth here in Ontario. I want to create an environment that makes it even more likely.

The world is not zero sum. The size of the pie is not fixed. If we make more, everyone can get a big piece.

@cselley I don't buy anything at any of these places. And these clowns don't have to either.

[Jamie Courtney @Jamie_Courtney]

@cselley Long overdue.

[Jamie Courtney @Jamie_Courtney]

@CTVKitchener This headline is totally misleading. Most of us in Kitchener ALREADY HAVE THEM, and the select privileged few who have door-to-door mail service will have to join the rest of us plebs.

This should have been done decades ago.

[Jamie Courtney @Jamie_Courtney]

@MarkJCarney A billion dollars for 13 games is a whole new level of government waste. Please stop bragging about this utter waste of taxpayer money.

We could have bought another 10 F-35s, or literally anything else that would have added value to our country.

Hope FIFA enjoys our money.

@harrisonlowman At first glace I thought it was a somewhat put-together Steve Bannon with Carney. 😂

[Jamie Courtney @Jamie_Courtney]

@alanfryermedia Maybe a "Just 1 King at a Time" movement.

I have no qualms with Charles III. 🤪

[Jamie Courtney @Jamie_Courtney]

@cselley It's Pride Month, Chris. It's real.

[Tristin Hopper @TristinHopper]

I think often of how there is a consistent two-digit polling gap between men and women when it comes to belief in ghosts. This is US data, but it shows up across the Anglosphere.

[Jamie Courtney @Jamie_Courtney]

@cselley St. Carney. 🤷

[Jamie Courtney @Jamie_Courtney]

@howardanglin Interesting point. I'm gonna think on that. Legit.

There are reasons to be a proud Ontarian. 🤷 But who flies an Ontario flag at home?

(I think other Canadians rag on us in Ontario thinking we're of one mind like the Borg, when we *truly* lack *any* provincial identity.)

[Jamie Courtney @Jamie_Courtney]

A terrific essay. But in this arena, as an Ontarian, I'm always a bit jealous of Quebec, Alberta, Newfoundland, and other great places. People from there have a provincial identity. No one from Ontario list "Ontarian" as core to their identity. Millions of people just born here.

[Howard Anglin @howardanglin]

In @the_lineca today, an essay adapted from part of a lecture I gave at @cardusca earlier this month. The full lecture will be published soon, but this part mostly stands on its own:

The Case for a "Loose Confederation"

[Jamie Courtney @Jamie_Courtney]

@cselley Please start a regular feature in the Post called "Guess How Much They Paid?" and shame govt into change.

[Jamie Courtney @Jamie_Courtney]

@cselley Why does government pay more for *everything*? Why do they just accept, on OUR behalf, getting gouged for every expense, no matter how trivial?

[Duncan Dee 🇮🇱🇺🇦 @duncandee]

Mayor Chow (@MayorOliviaChow ):

You're such an asshole.

Her? She has a name. It's Esti.

[Bistro On Avenue @bistro_on]

Wowsa! That’s a lot of money! Can someone please let him know that we too do catering and can offer him delicious food at much lower prices.

[Jamie Courtney @Jamie_Courtney]

@TidianeCanada @nationalpost It's funny how they never serve sandwiches.

[Jamie Courtney @Jamie_Courtney]

@nspector4 "English and louder" is my favourite thing I've read on X today. 😂

[Jamie Courtney @Jamie_Courtney]

@AdamZivo I would never choose a Tim's product for my last meal. Utter garbage.
