More evidence for the “my boxes” theory
Quote Tweet
During former President Donald J. Trump’s years in the White House, his aides began to refer to the boxes full of papers and odds and ends he carted around with him almost everywhere as the “beautiful mind” material. It had a specific connotation. nytimes.com/2023/06/15/us/

Anti-abortion group Campaign Life Coalition is calling on supporters to attend a protest against “homoerotic and transsexualist perversions” at the Human Rights Monument Saturday in Ottawa.

Imagine being nine years old, with all the shit that happens at that age, and having some sinister old bigot bullying you in public, and then managing to be dignified in print about it. Incredible courage.

The people finding a way — however roundabout — to excuse this are behaving like swine. This is heartrending.

We need more homes. Here's my plan:
Fine city govs that block home building & give bonuses for those that speed it up
Require apartments around all federally-funded transit stations
Sell off 6,000 federal buildings to turn them into housing

Just had another Berlusconi memory come to mind. Berlusconi and the then-Greek PM were chatting around Harper at a summit. Then laughter.
🇬🇷 and 🇮🇹 leaders were ‘arguing’ over who invented sex. 🇬🇷 claimed it was they, and Berlusconi retorted: ‘But 🇮🇹 invented sex with women!”
Quote Tweet
Story re: Berlusconi call we did ahead of the 2010 G-8 & G-20.
Harper laid out his agenda, which came at a critical time for the global economy, as he did with all leaders.
Unlike others, Berlusconi waved away all summit chat to instead ask Harper about the girls in Toronto twitter.com/financialtimes…

In a statement, Brown's lawyers list evidence they say they have to support him, including surveillance video of the incident, testimony from the hotel bartender, and a report from a P.I.
They say evidence "completely vindicated" Brown but he retired because of strain of process.
Quote Tweet
Holy shit: Russell Brown has resigned from the Supreme Court as he's being investigated for the drunken altercation incident in Arizona. He is 57 years old, meaning he still had almost 20 years left to sit if he wanted to.

I mean, the tactical team was using the nearby elementary school as its staging grounds.
There was a police gunman hiding in a hedge. The EPS LAV was there. So like, for the people who live nearby it's like, so uh, who were these people? Just how risky were they?

Small item: Last night, the tac team spent an hour trying to get "armed and dangerous" people to leave a house. Given police secrecy and encrypted radios, there's no way to know what happened.
Or for neighbours to know how armed and how dangerous the people were believed to be.

There have been a lot of smart pieces about whether this was the NDP's last, best chance at winning government in Alberta. This, in the Tyee, makes a smart argument why this might have actually been conservatives' last chance at forming government. #ableg
