@aaron.rupar yes it adds up: to up the negotiation pressure and up the markets, why just get one win if you can have two wins on a Friday.

@the5thColumnist I think it's a little more nuanced than your poll. I think the questions we should be asking are: Are we inviting foreign capital into Canadian enterprise or are we inviting foreign enterprise in to exploit Canadian resources and expertise. I think we need to start thinking about strict foreign ownership regulation along with these invitations to do business. Otherwise we're just doing what we've always done ship out raw materials so others can add value.

Watch La Linea, the Popular 1970s Italian Animations Drawn with a Single Line

Simplicity is not the goal. It is the by-product of a good idea and modest expectations. Thus spake designer Paul Rand, a man who knew something about making an impression, having created iconic logos for such immediately recognizable brands as ABC, IBM, and UPS.

@wendynather @pluralistic and his writing counters the intellectual *immiseration* I experience with opinion pieces rightfully shielded from Masto.

Dutch Talkshow Queen Sonja Barend 1940-2026

(...) Her shows stayed close to current events, and no subject was taboo. Virtually everything that preoccupied the Netherlands at the time was covered: from supporter riots to mothers who remained unmarried by choice, and from racism to homosexuality.

Conversations with her guests often stirred up strong emotions. Donor fathers, prostitutes, AIDS patients, incest victims, Bhagwan followers: they all sat at Sonja's table.

@randahl your persistently positive, hopeful, and sanguine coverage is a blessing here. Like an avengeful "palate cleanser" for political commentary. Thank you, and keep it up!
