Fair enough, still not a paywall though.

I's like walking the same sidewalk every day where the same dogs crap in the same spots. Eventually you find another route.

Marky,

Man, in my day we cooled the great outdoors by opening the window.

@Joe P

did your green candidate win?

 

[Joe P]

Vuk,

Nope, but Mike Morris came in second, a few percentage points ahead of the Conservative candidate and he got more than twice the number of votes that the NDP candidate did.

• Raj Saini, Liberal incumbent, 37 percent of the popular vote
• Mike Morrice, Green, 26 percent
• Stephen Woodworth, Conservative, 23 percent
• Andrew Moraga, NDP, 12 percent and
• Patrick Bernier, People's Farty of Canada, 2 percent

The local Farty Party candidate was a distant fifth, thankfully. I guess he'll go back to selling houses.

Vuk,

Hard to say if it's patriotic facial hair or a razor that died partway through a shave.

As they say here in the south, looks like someone shaved a dog's ass and taught it to walk backwards.

We've reached a social tipping point where scientists are finally getting truthy -

“We are not able to put a stop to any negative trends – greenhouse gas emissions, the extinction of species. In fact, you can read from the data, we have practically no chances of surviving as a civilisation. We are heading towards a big tragedy.”

Global disaster is a typical Express theme along with Princess Diana, arctic blasts, statins and Madeline McCann.

Not surprising. Collapse will be monetized like everything else here on the planet of the apes.
