    It’s to distract from the government’s unwillingness to hold a public inquiry into China’s election meddling.

    “The rules on making multinationals pay taxes where they operate - known as "pillar one" of the agreement - would apply to global companies with at least a 10% profit margin. Twent…

    It’s mind-blowing to me that a 3-year car is considered aging. Anecdote time: my parents bought a secondhand 93 Toyota Corolla that I inherited and drove until 2011. They continued…

    I once read (or heard?) that the reason why Twitter has such outsize importance is because a lot of journalists use it. They’re on it a lot, follow a lot of people, use it to disco…

    I think the OP got confused - as I did - on the position of Toronto on the lakes. We both didn’t realize that Toronto is in the same box as New York.

    I’m fairly sure Toronto is larger than Chicago... EDIT: Yeah, back in 2013: https://www.thestar.com/news/city_hall/2013/03/05/torontos_p... - and I’m pretty sure it’s almost at or …

    Specific conspiracy theories aside, it’s unsurprising that a lot of people - hell, even I! - find the course of events surprising. The man had a dubious source of income, was offer…
