This guy isn't just hopelessly out of touch – he's dangerously motivated to rob Peter to pay Paul. He's willing to slash budgets and run education, healthcare and more public sectors ragged to pay off the deficit his government amplified, and he doesn't care that by doing this, he's severely destroying the power of Ontario's future economy.

Tell me Dougie, when healthcare workers, education workers, and now workers of all these sectors fed by post-secondary institutions start seeing record vacancies throughout the province, do you care what happens to the rest of us? Because after what we've seen, I bet you don't as long as you get yours.

It's like getting cross-checked in the back of the neck, hearing that what I pay into CPP is getting used to fund a direct enemy's ambitions.

I just checked it on Steam, and it's got a lot of good reviews – excited to see where it goes.

I'm directly behind them on this – if it's taking place in their land, they should be involved in the permit process and selection committee. It's a reasonable ask, and I hope the courts side with them to set the precedent.

I've seen statements going out from larger Indigenous social media groups urging caution - wouldn't doubt though that the Mohawk or Blackfoot are going to cross regardless, because their families are across that border or for cultural reasons.

It's a rock and a hard place problem.

100% agree. Cuba deserves aid, and we should be investigating policy and alternatives that we can use to circumvent the resource war on Cuba to help them.

This is always the way it goes, and it's repugnant – once you learn that the perpetrator belongs to a marginalized group, you know that hateful individuals will use it as proof to spread their rhetoric and fan the flames.

It takes away from actual discussion of how we ensure this doesn't happen again, how we best support communities in these times, and how we as a whole can come together to begin healing.

A good addition to the platform - you always see people mentioning in their reviews what their specs are when they run into issues.

This is honestly the approach that's given me the most peace of mind as I've gotten more years of GMing under my belt. As little as possible, but at least something for everything, so I'm never truly caught of guard by player shenanigans.

 

Curious to know how other GMs go about designing and filling out their campaigns with different material like items, NPCs, locations, etc. I've traditionally gone very deep and sometimes even granular (much to my own detriment because I bite off more than I can chew sometimes), and try to build out enough material to establish the setting and make everyone feel "unique" to the campaign setting.

What do you find works best for you? How deep do you like to go when building out the setting and materials? Are there any specific elements you focus more on as opposed to others?

We love to see the wheels of change turning. It's a first step in what I hope will be a turning point for Canada-EU defence capabilities.

I'm not fully up-to-speed on the pivot to the EV mandate, but wonder if it has to do with economic outlook in the wake of trade scuffles with the U.S.? I do think this is just going to be a test of time to see whether the new strategy for increased EV production and adoption will produce better results than strategies we've been following so far.

219-211. That spread makes this vote meaningless, because almost HALF of our former ally's Congress wants this to continue.

 

Ontario’s inspector general of policing has launched a sweeping independent review of police that follows the arrests of seven Toronto officers and one retired officer last week. Queen’s Park Reporter Shawn Jeffords explains.

 

Now that we're in to February, what are some games you've been eyeing up with a 2026 release date that you're excited to pick up? Are you planning to pick them up on release, or are you going to wait until a sale?

Me personally, I've got three titles I'm actually feeling quite excited for: Hela, Paralives and the Gothic 1 Remake. I've been waiting for Hela and Paralives for years because they look like fun, cozy games built by passionate devs - and the Gothic 1 Remake just popped up in my feed one day and I'm itching to get a chance to have my first Gothic experience!
