True story.
My brother-in-law suddenly lost his vision after retiring.
His family doctor had retired and couldn’t see him advised him to go to the ER in Durham Region.
ER ordered a CT scan.
Found a pituitary brain tumor.
Referred him to a surgeon at St. Michael’s in Toronto.
Major brain surgery to remove the tumour. But developed
bacterial meningitis two weeks after. Ended back at St. Mikes for another 2 weeks.
Vision saved. Life saved.
Annual follow-up MRIs. Tumor-free to this day.
Retired. Healthy. With grandchildren.
Cost to him: $0.
He didn’t lose his house. And living his best life.
Universal healthcare in Canada saves lives.

Netanyahu said that an Iranian nuclear strike on Israel would be like “10,000 tons of TNT falling on a country the size of New Jersey (22,610 km2).”
Israel has dropped ~80,000 tons of explosives on Gaza (365 km2) - the equivalent of 8 nukes on 1.6% the size of New Jersey.
All devices are now locked to @PETE997FM in Peterborough as the last truly local station. Bonus? @dgups in the afternoon!
Looking for them over on Bluesky soon.

Thought.
Put groups on the clock quicker.
Groups on the clock get zero TV airtime.
Sponsors & peer pressure ensues.
“Many of you keep saying you want to play fewer events, yet you still find time for TGL, Race to Dubai…”
In case you missed it, Charley Hoffman sent a rather pointed letter to his fellow Tour pros last night.

This is also beneficial for most skilled labor companies. Esp in the construction trades.
Plumbers, electricians, carpenters, concrete masonry etc...a union member can make the leap from being an employee to employer more easily with a $50k lift in the first year.

Today I went down to document and bear witness to the destruction of the West Island. Earlier in the summer, I used my drone to create a 3D map of it's beauty.
I am sharing a link which shows the before and after of this special place.

I’ve said it before, but while Doug Ford’s politics are dangerous, the man himself is simply incompetent.
He’s not smart. He’s not wise. He’s got no capacity.
He’s a nepo baby fool who has a handful of smart people around him. He’s a muppet. An utter disgrace.
Here's the video of the Premier telling healthy people in encampments and who are homeless to 'get off their A-S-S and start working' #onpoli

Gros Morne Mountain with a large cloud lingering on the summit early this morning. I will bet it was cold up there in that cloud.

A politician should run on a "tiered flat tax" that only applies each successive higher tax rate to the dollars within that tier.
Then once they're elected they can do nothing and say mission accomplished.
