“Fire trucks don’t dictate street design” Meanwhile your city’s street requirements are a copy of the spec sheet from a fire truck manufacturer for their largest apparatus.

No political statement about commitment to economic growth means anything if it's from a politician who supports supply management.

How bad was today's stock market decline? Of the 11,406 trading days since January 1980, only 29 had larger declines.

The S&P 500 has lost 10.5% of its value in two days. Since 1980, we've only seen larger declines three other times: the '87 crash, Nov 2008, and Mar 2020. And those weren't due to policy choices. This may be the largest self-imposed destruction of wealth ever.

The orange crash. Showing the NDP in low single digits in Toronto-area ridings, and not much better in BC seats where they used to get in 20s. (Oh and Jagmeet Singh a distant 3rd in his riding)
