apologies I actually meant to put the archive link in the post but seem to have forgotten.

As to why I would post a pay-walled article is simple; I believe if we want to continue having quality journalism in this country it is something we need to appropriately fund. We can’t rely on only the CBC (and not just because PP and the cpc want to destroy it). As far as I can tell this is original reporting from the Star so I do kinda feel it is morally correct to link to them first. (although I do not disagree with archive links for paywall bypass maybe that makes me a hypocrite… meh)

I feel its also especially important to fund the star right now as it is one of the last Canadian owned mainstream news outlets that isnt distinctly right wing (even if it is slowly drifting to the right imo) and isn’t ideologically driven (IE Press Progress, CanadaLand).

I don’t think it’s an issue of his image, but of what he can personally benefit from it. He sees a sinking ship, so he’s distancing himself from PP

completely agree. Ford is a populist cut from a different cloth than PP. He realized a lot quicker that Trump style conservative rule isn’t going to fly here yet (hopefully never). He’s also a lot more open to backing down when he realizes he read the room wrong instead of doubling down.

Ford’s far more slimey than you’re giving him credit. It’s obvious when you consider that he widely advertised the 25% energy surcharge, then backed off of it quietly when the US gave him some compliments and offered him a seat to a talk without a single promise, and he went around claiming he “did something” despite nothing coming out of it, all being paid for by taxpayers.

I will disagree with this however. Between Ford’s meeting with Carney and other Feds from when the surcharge was added till now it feels more like he was asked to get onboard with a new tact. I honestly think he was better at being the blowhard but I’m willing to let this cook for a bit and see where it goes.

You can access locally when the internet is down. You just need to set the login bypass for the local network. IMO it’s kinda a stupid step needed in setup but it is available.

In an interview post video release he mentions only using the Tesla as is the only one he’s aware of only using cameras. Luminar wasn’t named as a car brand or anything really as this was not intended as a promotion for them.

He even said during the interview he loves his Tesla and will more than likely buy another. Which tbh was a bit disappointing. But I do think highlights most of the criticism here is largely unfounded and fanboy antics.

The fall of civilizations - it tells the story of the rise and fall of different groups of people through history. Often with readings in the original tongue.

From the same creator “vaccine” is the history of the creation of the works first vaccines. Neither podcast has any ads which is awesome.

Lastly factually with Adam conover is great. Comedian discussing often political issues.
