Just about every day there's something new for the 'This Fucking Government!' file. 😬

[Toronto Star @TorontoStar]

Ontario rejected the City of Toronto’s proposed affordable housing requirements on dozens of specific properties after at least three real estate investment trusts asked them to do so, the Star has learned. https://t.co/Vjqm74BaLl

They say flesh-eating screwworm is not a threat to people, but I cannot stress enough just how much I don't want to eat them!

[🇨🇦Wayne🇨🇦 @Reil76]

The CFIA just banned livestock imports from Texas, and honestly, good.

New World screwworm was eradicated from North America in the 1960s. It took decades of effort to get rid of it. Now it’s back, confirmed in Texas, and a second case just popped up days after the first.

This is a flesh-eating parasite. The larvae literally consume living tissue from the inside out. It can kill an animal. It can spread through wildlife with no respect for borders.

Texas is calling it an “overreaction.” The same Texas whose governor just declared a state of disaster over it.

Canada has the tightest North American cattle supply in 75 years. We don’t have the luxury of gambling on a parasite re-establishing itself here because someone got offended by a precautionary import ban.

Buy Canadian beef. 🇨🇦

So who will benefit apart from a few wealthy interests that won't suffer the 'adverse impacts?'

[NEWSTALK 1010 @NEWSTALK1010]

Toronto City Councillor @JoshMatlow tells @MooreintheAM about a new report from city staff warning that any expansion of Billy Bishop airport could result in major adverse impacts on housing, congestion, the environment and the waterfront as a whole. https://t.co/KZ0vTU2962

Drone warfare must have trillion-dollar military establishments crapping.

[Shaun Pinner @ShaunPinnerUA]

Another Russian military locomotive hit in Bryansk. That’s three in four days.

The real damage isn’t just the train. A disabled locomotive can block an entire rail line, delaying ammunition, fuel, equipment and troop movements across the network until it is cleared.

Wars run on logistics. Ukraine keeps finding ways to make Russia’s run a little slower. 🇺🇦

[MacGregor 🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇱🇧 @MemoryFramer]

@RodKahx I laugh when CPC rails about LPC etiquette, remembering how recently they themselves had a private citizen living at our expense in Stornoway, calling himself Leader of the Opposition when he wasn't even IN the Opposition.

[MacGregor 🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇱🇧 @MemoryFramer]

Netanyahu, Putin and Trump are all unleashing escalating evil on the world to hold onto positions they shouldn't have in the first place, in order to avoid personal culpability for their own pasts. That's the world's nightmare.

@stphnmaher Yes. Incredible as it seems, I think there are Americans who believe American exceptionalism is a real thing, and that all us foreigners take it to be gospel too.

[MacGregor 🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇱🇧 @MemoryFramer]

Hard to see how the addition of 7 or 8 million air travellers to Toronto's traffic congestion problem will make anyone happier.
There are obviously special interests who will benefit regardless driving this.

[Mark Evans @markevans]

Aside from the lack of an economic plan, it's hard to see how traffic at Billy Bishop could hit the 10M/year target the PCs are touting (with no data to back it up).

Traffic would be a nightmare, and flights would likely be limited by the airport's footprint.

[MacGregor 🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇱🇧 @MemoryFramer]

Exactly true.
Only a simpleton believes there's no merit in reducing Canada's dependence on a single customer, but we appear to be harbouring a lot of those.

[Univrsle @univrsle]

For the 50,135th time.....literally zero people EVER EVER EVER EVER suggested we can replace the US as a major trading partner.

If your argument or solution is predicated on this non-fact? then the rest of what you have to say is gibberish.

[MacGregor 🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇱🇧 @MemoryFramer]

@CarlSparre @BraddrofliT But not income taxes. I agree about consumption taxes, but I think universal income in Canada is more accurately termed an idea than a plan.

[MacGregor 🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇱🇧 @MemoryFramer]

Etobicoke here. I feel about the same, although as long as it doesn't happen I won't set them any deadline.

[OGGY…. of The North 🇨🇦🇬🇧 @OGGY_North]

If the federal @liberal_party does not kill the Billy Bishop Airport expansion within the next few weeks…….. I will not be voting for them again.

This is a red line for most people in Toronto (core)……. Few of which voted for that fucking slob, @fordnation.

[MacGregor 🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇱🇧 @MemoryFramer]

@OGGY_North @Canadian2112 @liberal_party @fordnation Something thing people who like using Billy Bishop need to realize is that when it's expanded it'll be like Pearson but with no parking and congested access shoehorned into too little space, not the easy stroll it is now.

[MacGregor 🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇱🇧 @MemoryFramer]

As an old-time umpire supposed once said to an irate player: "If you think I was wrong just take a look at tomorrow's box score."

[Keegan Matheson @KeeganMatheson]

John Schneider on the Ernie Clement baseline play at 2nd:

“Ernie… I haven’t looked at it yet, maybe fortunate there. I think that the runner has three feet and Ernie’s good at disguising that sometimes, I guess.” #BlueJays

[MacGregor 🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇱🇧 @MemoryFramer]

@MrBadGuy905 @11thattcc @KeeganMatheson Yes. Maybe in general it's time to take a hard look at what they're getting out of the DH slot.

[MacGregor 🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇱🇧 @MemoryFramer]

A serious dilemma. Heineman is what he is, but the Jays are approaching the point where they'll also have two number one catchers.
This lineup shipping out a hot and improving bat at this point will make the fans crazy!

[Keegan Matheson @KeeganMatheson]

Brandon Valenzuela needs to stay on the roster when Alejandro Kirk returns.

I really don't care about "asset management" talk. The #BlueJays need to win as many baseball games as possible and Valenzuela clearly gives them the best chance to do that.

@MarkJCarney Many responses say our WW2 generation would be distressed by the country today... I grew up with them, and was related to many.
I believe that what would bother them most is the amount of disrespect for each other that comes so easily out of so many mouths now.

[MacGregor 🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇱🇧 @MemoryFramer]

@Mikeggibbs Hope you're right.
What you say makes sense, but making sense is a high bar in Doug Ford's Ontario.

[MacGregor 🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇱🇧 @MemoryFramer]

Anyway, we were already there from the beginning of time until birth, and I don't recall that being very onerous.
