@MrAndyNgo Possibly the most useful thing they’ve ever done in their lives — provide outdoor toilets for the public to use.

@Real_RobN @TheSocial_con Foreign aid is a money laundering scheme.

1. Keir Starmer, the disgraced British PM, has arrested Tommy Robinson again under the Terrorism Act. This legislation that allows anyone -- citizen or not -- to be detained when coming or going from the UK, and interrogated for hours, and there is no right to remain silent.

My dad was a high school teacher in the 80s and 90s, teaching drafting & interior design. Even back then he was discovering that kids graduating from public school to high school really had no mathematics proficiency at all. He had to stop teaching drafting, just to go over some basic math they should have learned in grades 6, 7, & 8.

@MichelleLA1981 @Sheilaanne2191 The worse the target of their empathy is, the more virtuous the empathy. Duh.

Your attitude about @elonmusk is kind of an intelligence test.

Congratulations @elonmusk. Thanks to SpaceX's IPO, he's the first Trillionaire. He didn't TAKE money from anyone. He CREATED wealth. He launched satellites that connect even the poorest, most remote parts of the world. Our world needs more MAKERS like Musk; fewer TAKERS like:

It is entirely possible that there is no longer any such thing as “Iranian government.” It is entirely possible that we are dealing with rival sub factions each of which have their own vision for the future. One agrees to and signs a peace deal, another one decides to bomb a hotel in Saudi Arabia or shoot at some ships in the Hormuz Straight.

@MelissaLantsman @AndrewLawton Liberals believe in magical thinking. Spending money is the same as “solving problems”. Making announcements is the same as “doing something” about the problem. They never actually REALLY get to the “doing something ” part, but the announcement kept you happy for a day, right?

I’m not particularly worried about the online safety act, mainly because it will be the Liberals implementing the technical aspects of it. They will award the contract to friends of the party who will do their usual job of wasting millions of dollars and producing something that a college student could do a weekend. It will be as effective as the ArriveCan app, not actually solve any problem, and be hopelessly out of date by the time it arrives. Social media is a rapidly evolving landscape of various sites with no incentive to work with the Canadian government on exposing their user base. I can’t see this going anywhere that a kid can’t figure out a way around in an afternoon. A few VPN companies with some rock solid principles will pull out of the Canadian market until sanity is restored (conservative government).

@Martyupnorth Liberals judge a program not by results, but by cost. All they really have to do is cancel the goddamn carbon tax and the system will sort of straighten itself out.
