Your marriage is not at all healthy. 

Also Canadian. I know some high level amateur athletes who’ve gone to Buffalo for MRIs, because that can be not great here, but they’ve gotten all the actual treatment here.

Apparently if you’re willing to go in at weird o’clock, you can get an MRI pretty quickly. I haven’t had to try it. 

Oshawa is where all the worst white Scarberians moved when Scarborough got a little too Black and brown for their comfort. It is hockey hair city. It is a place where it was 1975 until 1996, and it’s been 1996 ever since.

I hate to be this guy, but I’m gonna be this guy. Peaky Blinders isn’t a Netflix original. 

John Boehner? EUUUUGH. That’s so unfortunate.

In fact, Alefia executive Julian Fantino is both the former Toronto Chief of Police AND a former Conservative Member of Parliament. 

Here in Canada, many of the top legal weed firms have ex-senior cops and Conservative lawmakers either as major investors or on the board of directors. (And very few, if any, Black or indigenous people, even though that’s who disproportionately went to jail for weed under prohibition.) So, yeah, please do better than…

As a Canadian basketball fan, I used to be so bummed he wouldn’t play for Canada. These days I’m like “Um, yeah. You know what? It’s fine. Don’t even worry about it Andrew!”

The identity politics are already IN everything. Acknowledging it is just living in the world. The idea that sports, or anything, is “apolitical” is having your head jammed up your ass. 

I mean, if you’re talking about the Gordian knot of who gets reparations, then you’ve kind of already accepted that reparations are a good idea. You can’t make the argument “It’s the right thing to do, but the logistics are too hard” and expect that to stand up. Man on the moon and all that.

For sure, the logistics…

I’m not sure Quebec is MORE racist, than the ROC, but it’s differently racist. It’s more of a Euro-style blood and soil ethnonationalism. The ROC is also racist, but much less upfront about it. They’re not gonna yell at anyone (for the most part) they’re just gonna quietly segregate themselves from immigrants and get…

You lay off Montreal bagels. Those bagels are fucking great. 

What did Funko Pop dolls do to deserve this comparison? 

I mean, not dumping thousands of tech workers into a city that’s already experiencing a housing crisis seems like a win to me.

Steve King’s ideas are terrifyingly close to the Republican mainstream at this point. He may have gotten his knuckles rapped, but ideologically, it’s basically his party. Also, that knuckle rapping won’t last. He’ll end up back on committees. 

Right!? That’s a weird take for an anti-Bernie post.

I like Bernie. A lot. But he’s Seventy Fucking Seven. If he were to win, he’d be 79 on inauguration day. Ideally, it’s supposed to be an eight year job. Does this not seem insane to anyone else, just on that basis?

I think at minimum he can pull the race to the left and make other candidates take stances on things like banking, medicare for all, etc. that will be hard to walk back.

Does Platano Man have any kind of judo training? (Real question.)
