Europeans dying of heat stroke: “Can we please turn on the AC?”
Their governments: “Best we can do is replace you with migrants and prosecute you for Facebook posts.”

"THE BIRD IS THE WORD"
June 28, 1976
A national television audience catches its first glimpse of the Detroit #Tigers' quirky, enigmatic rookie pitching phenom — Mark "The Bird" Fidrych.
The American League's eventual 1976 Rookie of the Year, Fidrych scatters seven hits en route to a 5-1 complete-game victory over the Yankees on ABC's "Monday Night Baseball" from Tiger Stadium.
"The Bird" runs his record to a gaudy 8-1 with an sparkling 2.05 ERA.
He would be tabbed as the AL's starting pitcher for the All-Star Game two weeks later — only the second rookie ever to earn that honor.

This guy is supposed to be an economist? The federal government will need to borrow the money to buy these condos (we are running a $100B deficit). And by stepping into the market, it stops the prices from dropping to more affordable levels. Insane economic policy.
We are going to turn vacant condos into affordable homes for British Columbians. Because we will seize every opportunity to get more affordable housing for Canadians.
If you needed 95 seconds of explaining the whole housing bailout that's not actually a bailout, but actually is...
"Who's gonna be able to afford a $1M home?"

🤣
"Is government going to be a Landlord?"
-CBC
🤣
"We haven't discussed that yet..."

@RazorOil Keep in mind that the people doing the reporting are on the Liberals' payroll, so challenging someone like Carney or Hodgson would put a pay cheque at risk. Maybe Rosie will take them to task 😅 .
INSANE: 🇬🇧 A U.K. lawyer who cleaned up 200 bags of waste from a polluted river now faces up to 2 years in prison for doing it without a permit. 🤯
Paul Powlesland says wildlife fish and dragonflies have returned to the river since the clean-up began.
@ericnuttall Where red 'we are here' is riding on top of pastel purple, is that '18 or '25?
Is there a chart like this but by western countries just for '26?
Today, Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) announced the results of Project Jetsetter – a coordinated enforcement and investigative response focused on criminal tourism.
Project Jetsetter is the culmination of multiple major investigations into organized criminal activity in Durham Region and across the Greater Toronto Area. This initiative targeted organized groups travelling to Canada for the purpose of executing high-profit crimes, often connected to international criminal networks. These activities are deliberate, coordinated, and profit-driven; not random or opportunistic.
Through more than nine separate investigations and over 5,000 investigative hours, the DRPS Financial Crimes Unit has tracked more than 200 incidents tied to criminal tourism, resulting in over $2.61 million in confirmed financial losses in Durham Region alone.

Ya, we're doomed with this "leadership". The photo of Carney, his wife and Soloman looked like the beginnings of joke. But sadly, Canadians have an increasing approval rating for the guy...so it looks like he'll be around for a while as we fall further behind.
Some corners of the federal government continue to operate like a parody of Trudeau era wokeism.
@EvanLSolomon, if incoherent identify politics like this👇 is what’s steering Canada’s AI policy, you will be responsible for leaving Canada behind in the most important economic transformation since the Industrial Revolution.

I knew all of this except natural gas, which must be based on new resource quantifications. #2 is a big jump 👀
@sunlorrie@natnewswatch We shouldn't have an unemployed rate of almost 14 percent for 15-24 year olds.
Something is seriously wrong. These people are the future. Governments need to take this seriously and address it effectively.
