Mr Layton was earnest but known for being a little clueless and hapless at times. One of my family was snubbed in a group when Mr Layton forgot that the little people were both union members and voters, and his admin reminded him he should run out and say hello to the people he just marched past.

It was a common oversight he made, but he was still beloved as politicians go. It was like an honest fuckup instead of a cruel trend, and ultimately it was fine as it was without malice.

I think Mr Mulcair, on balance, would have made an equally flawed but intelligent and considerate leader, as we'd get a bit of a passionate hothead in exchange for Mr Singh's common fault of jumping on the "hair guy bad" cheap-shot and special-interest bandwagon a bit much. Same-same.

I'll always hold dear in my heart the shot of Mr Harper saying something mind-numbingly dumb in QP and a blurry Mr Mulcair laughing uproariously in the background.

What Mister Rota did was stupid and short-sighted, forgetting that fighting the Russians then meant being a Nazi, unlike now; and he didn't get all the facts.

And he leaped on his sword as a sacrifice to hopefully stop the beating jackals from making it more than a stupid mistake that everyone else supported in the moment.

Calm the hell down.

Make the coupons be for a specific generic item: 2l 2% milk or 2lbs ground grade-A beef or 300g medium cheddar with no restrictions on brand name.

J random wanderer gets a deck of cards each month based on dependents and dietary needs.

Then guarantee a purchase of these coupons for the first supplier who can guarantee stock to redeem all coupons at that price, lowering the price by 1% every time 2 organizations submit RFQs.

And now we have single-buyer reverse monopoly for food like we do for public healthcare.

Non paywall article link?

Given the prime indicator of economic status is now dental health, I can see the next-gen tooth-regrowing formula as being a huge benefit for my lower-born homies; and I can see the cons blocking "tarnishing the sanctity of God's image for us" (or similar malarkey) for that very reason.

I blame the tiny subset of bands who talk about the sanctity of the land and then roll over when there's cash to be made. Fairy Creek, right?

So it's a trade, then; I bring the criminal and you give me heroin?

Wait. I have a better one: how would the PC candidate know personally how much free heroin one gets as a criminal?

Welcome to our American participants.

To reduce confusion, we spell it in a pre-Webster fashion.

I think our opposition found something that will stick. They will have their pound of flesh.

Fn Video for a missing article, so I have no context.

How much do munis get from proceeds of cigarette and alcohol sales? Unify the sin taxes.

What did you do this morning if you were on one?

What made this morning particularly significant?

The picture of a confused Ms Smith is gold. The math, probably not so much.

It certainly was painted as if there were no options.

In a world where other countries exist with their own fighter planes, I bet there were alternatives.

apparently

court records did not show any previous charges against the alleged suspect

so it was a singular 'sleeper' shitbag, fulfilling his pistol's purpose of shooting people.

woman would still be

I must see how this clairvoyance trick of yours works.

honestly, their first offence will be negligent homicide for leaving a gun around. Show me someone who needs a pistol just laying around and I'll show you someone with unresolved control issues.

And if they can't do that, their voting pattern is clear.

It should be cheap or free.

We learned this on the west coast when all those user fees dropped and they couldn't afford to maintain minimum service levels, even when dipping into the completely unused maintenance fund ... oh, wait: that went out as bonuses.

I charge a significant tax for in-office work located more than 10min from a train -- and it's less like the 3% 'dumb comms stack' tax I charge for having to use Teams and more like a "if your office is there, the baseline you need to pay based on today's rent for a 2-bedroom flat within 15 min walk to the office is..." number (hint: fresh grads should be able to afford a 1-bedroom flat within walking of their day job and still have money for food; and experienced staff should get more than that).
