From the bottom of the sea. You, 350 million years ago.

@FrontBurnerCBC @sproudfoot Just fyi that Poilievre’s last name is still misspelled on Apple Podcasts. I say this also out of no respect for the man—what a dog whistler.

@CBCOntarioToday I never hear any mention of all the permanent residents who can't cast a vote. There are 4 million Ontarians who are not citizens—immigrants—many with progressive views who could change the tide if they had representation in govn't.

@CandiceBergenMP YOU are the one politicizing the ongoing occupation by implying the liberal government is responsible. Rather than blaming Trudeau like a child in a sandlot, why don’t you come up an idea, propose a solution? CPC is great at placing blame but deficient on policy.

@JohnTory @fordnation @cityoftoronto @PBethlenfalvy Let's be honest though. This isn't the kind of plan that will make Toronto a world leader in public transit nor is it any greener. Investments in rail are likely to be cancelled out by increased car traffic on those shiny new highways.

When I look at buildings, they seem big from the ground. From the window of a plane, they look like kids' toys. From another planet, they are not visible. We waste a lifetime thinking our fears are so big. From the universe’s view, they are small & we should move on to joy.

[Zach Pearl @Zacharach]

Too many people lack the basic understanding of what an argument even is—a consensual space of contestation. It's not a ploy to get a base reaction out of you. That's called a trap.

@Steve_Swamy Maybe see my other reply to the thread—got cut off by the word limit. I was just referring to cultist ideologies around whether to obey (or not) proven health measures.

@cbcasithappens Hopefully, in your vast wisdom, you do acknowledge that tomato is a fruit, right? So the basis of all pizza sauce resides in the glorious kingdom of fruit ⚡️🍅👑🍅⚡️

@Steve_Swamy I would prefer to stay in my wintery bubble of everyone wearing masks and identities undefined by which old white dude you support. It’s a real head trip to visit the US these days.

[Zach Pearl @Zacharach]

@Steve_Swamy True. And you’ve got a good head on your shoulders. But I don’t “play well with others” when it comes to pure stupidity like conspiracy theory.

[Zach Pearl @Zacharach]

@Steve_Swamy Fair enough. I live in a fairer land now. Though I’m going back in just a few weeks and anxious about the divisive atmosphere.

[Zach Pearl @Zacharach]

@Steve_Swamy This is actually kinda unclear. More flexibility is generally a good thang

Lot of 'baby with the bathwater' going on @TheCurrentCBC right now. No discussion of research contributions, no discussion of intention, just vintage essentialism.

[Zach Pearl @Zacharach]

An hour and a half never went by so fast! Great nerdy fun 🤓
