    Just listened to that one myself. Believe it’s the Sumerian episode. #8

  • Doug Ford defends ‘patronage’ appointments of ex-staffers, says he wants ‘like-minded’ Ontario judges
  • TheMcG TheMcG Now 100%

    "Folks I appointed them for the exact reason you are mad at me for. So stop being mad at me. I did it on purpose not by mistake!"

    Rofl what a defence.

  • ‘Untenable and appalling crisis’: Ottawa must fill judicial vacancies plaguing lower courts, Federal Court rules
  • TheMcG TheMcG Now 100%

    Fundamentally do not understand why they wouldn't be appointing judges.

    There are two Walmart locations that were announced after the original staples locations were. Iirc.

  • Supreme Court rules Doug Ford's mandate letters for cabinet ministers can be kept secret

    Total bs. We should have the right to know what our governments goals are.

  • Judge to decide if Ottawa locals can testify in ‘Freedom Convoy’ organizers’ trial
  • TheMcG TheMcG Now 100%

    Exactly what I was thinking. This just sounds like it would be a victim impact statement which serves very standard.

    I also fail to see how it could possibly be considered irrelevant.

    My Godfather tried to read that to me in it's entirety when I was 4 lol.

    Really cranked it up to 11 this week. Holy crap

  • TheMcG TheMcG Now 100%

    From the cover we saw Ferdinand in pain. I wonder if it will be from giving his name to myne; given that we now know she has his name stone.

    Does make me worried about Ferdinand being in pain on the cover of this part.

  • I think the average person just simply doesn't care about their privacy.
  • TheMcG TheMcG Now 83%

    Im in basically the same position since realistically the change needs to be at an institutional level. I can't really change anything by myself without excluding myself from most modern services.

    We need laws and regulations. But like you I fear it's too late.

    It all began with a DEI course for TDSB administrators that started in April 2021. DEI trainer removed Ojo-Thompson (the CEO of the KOJO Institute) led a series of sessions for TDSB higher-ups in which she made a number of familiar progressive arguments, according to Bilkszto’s court filing: Canada is a more racist place than the U.S., Canada is a “bastion of white supremacy and colonialism,”

    The rest aside, the NP saying that it's a common take that Canada is worse than the us for racism is crazy talk. That's a fringe view.

    A bright spot in Ontario's otherwise dismal government actions. Hopefully we can continue this with more investment down the line.

  • More than a dozen King’s Counsel lawyers donated to Ontario Attorney General Doug Downey
  • TheMcG TheMcG Now 100%

    Tbh I know nothing of the others. But how can they possibly justify Carolyn Mulroney? She's never served as a lawyer in Ontario and did nothing of note as the minister.

  • Expropriation an option for land needed for Ontario Place redevelopment, report says
  • TheMcG TheMcG Now 100%

    Is there any way for the city to fight the expropriation? I would have thought government wouldn't be able to use that ability for a private enterprise.

  • Olivia Chow elected mayor of Toronto, CP24 declares
  • TheMcG TheMcG Now 100%

    when we vote for mayor its a direct vote. so doesn't matter if your ward goes "conservative" the vote will still count just as much as anyone else's. we don't use First past the post for mayoral elections thankfully.

    For counselors because we do not have party affiliation at a municipal level so having proportional representation would be impossible as there is no way to count a vote for say Matlow (if he lost st pauls) to Brown as proportional seat for progressives.

    on a provincial and federal level i 100% agree with you.

  • Olivia Chow elected mayor of Toronto, CP24 declares
  • TheMcG TheMcG Now 100%

    Do you mean instant run off ballots? I don't see how you would have proportional representation municipally. (For mayor or counsellors considering neither are party affiliated)

  • Olivia Chow elected mayor of Toronto, CP24 declares
  • TheMcG TheMcG Now 100%

    was really worried early on with Bailao in the lead. Was wondering if we were going to pull an Ottawa.

    While she wasn't my top candidate glad I voted for her. Letting the city rot for another 4 years under Bailao wasn't an option.
