Yep. I frankly didn't much care about his personal life or all of his shirtless running when he was PM (unlike much of the press). I care even less now.

Ever since Western Michigan and Juniors Robert Bussi has been making a cell phone video of his son Brandon Bussi as he comes out to the ice for warmups. He has 100s, tonight he's doing it for a clinching game at the #StanleyCup final. #Canes

A police dog was retired for being old and now he lives in a normal house with 3 baby cats 🐶
Community note
This is Rocky from YouTube. He is not a retired police, dog. He lives with a rotating cast of cats, dogs, bunnies, and chicks.

“Dangerous”? This used to be a serious journalist.

Stop pretending it’s not about his wealth. That said, I think his public persona is a huge problem for precisely the reasons you suggest. I’m not some huge Elon fan. But the arguments being made about his wealth are idiotic and dangerous.

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been exposed.
This video shows three young men trying to help an injured person, but Israel bombs them with a missile, killing them all.
A moment the world must never forget.

Repeal every one and replace with Canadian Immigration Month. Leave it to communities, cities or provinces to determine what and when to celebrate based on their history, cultural makeup and demographics. Federally, celebrate Canada Day and be done with it.

This is called “paper wealth”

What a terrible take.
You don’t have to agree with @elonmusk’s politics to recognize what he has accomplished.
When we become incapable of admiring extraordinary achievement because we dislike someone’s politics, what message are we sending to every entrepreneur and innovator?

Would dearly love to have been fly on wall in strategy meetings behind decision by brand Gwyneth Paltrow to shill for Israeli real estate company founded by Netanyahu’s mate accused of various securities frauds to flog a luxury block in the town named after the father of Zionism
🇮🇱 Gwyneth Paltrow is the face of a new luxury housing development in Israel
The Hollywood star turned lifestyle guru appears in a slick one-minute marketing video advertising 51Park, a flagship luxury apartment complex in the affluent Israeli city of Herzliya. Set across two towers in the city, it is located on the Mediterranean coastline, about 10 miles north of Tel Aviv.

Wow. And some of these same guys played for Scotty Bowman!
A lot of Babcock discourse will be around recent Marner/cellphone gate stories, but here’s a reminder of the Johan Franzen story that @JasonGregor mentions from @HeleneStJames herself in 2019.
Chelios played 1,651 games in the NHL, so understand the weight of his words here.

The WE Charity Scandal was never about anything Theresa Kielburger did. It was about what Craig and Marc did, and what Justin Trudeau did.
That’s why Marc and Craig apologized to their donors and why Justin Trudeau apologized to all Canadians. broadcastdialogue.com/canada…
