Making this election about age when both candidates are basically the same age and one is in far better shape with a far better command of facts and truth than the other had at any age is a choice. And it's a choice to try to elect Donald Trump, or at least make that a possibility.

My wife just received a very legitimate looking Bell Canada payment notification e-mail. There are next to no obvious clues that it was not legitimate. Other than the monthly amount was wrong and the pay by date was wrong.

Funny how wealthy Americans will readily accuse Biden of “buying votes” with student debt forgiveness but had no issue with Trump signing massive tax cuts for themselves.

An Air Canada "AI"-powered chatbot gave a customer bogus information. Then the airline said it wouldn't honor what it had told the customer, claiming the bot wasn't actually part of the airline (despite being run from its website).
