Yes, it is true: he seems groggy and half-asleep.
But surely it's... y'know, the stuff he does *with his eyes open* that should motivate the people keeping him in office to reconsider their support.

"We need that parkade — for the environment. Without a place to park the Lambo, Jeeves would have to circle the block while I sip mimosas get my nails gilded. Now, he's free to turn the car off and shop downtown boutiques for a wedding present for his poolboy's poolboy's poolboy."

Sure, you *might* like your tax dollars going to hire doctors or properly ventilate schools or whatever, but have you considered the Bentleys? Where are *they* supposed to go while their owners are having cucumber slices placed gently over their eyes and their pores exfoliated with avocado scrub?
Do *you* enjoy bloviating Conservative mouthpieces pooh-poohing Canada's attempts to reason with a megalomaniacal madman? Then you're sure to enjoy today's Star Opinion-Haver!
BONUS: this bird cage-lining masterpiece he birthed for The Star in which he fellates Brian Mulroney, his former employer:
“Most damaging may have been the brief purchase of a $28.9-million government jet...."
I'm glad my neighbours are finally getting wise, but it took a private jet to break the spell? Really?
What mesmeric fantabulations were you people high on when he was blowin' through THE REST of your taxes?
I get it: there's a computational similarity to LLMs, cartoon generators and medical data analyzers. But that similarity does not extend to their everyday use.
We need to find a better way to refer to this stuff; nobody wants to throw out the medical imaging baby with the corny cartoon bathwater.
My first rose blossom of 2026 just opened for bees-ness. Come and get it, pollinators! I'm ringin' the triangle: chow's on! #Dingdingding!

"Is it soothing, having expert masseuses work my glutes while an esthetician manscapes my treasure trail? Not if I have to worry about where I parked the car while I'm here. Thank goodness the people of Ontario bought me a parkade! I just fling the keys at the valet and relax in sumptuous luxury."

"Naturally, the peasants are displeased with Vlad The Impaler's apparent listlessness during Royal Proclamations and nodding off during his ritual mass impalings. How can we trust a bloodthirsty tyrant who is literally asleep at the wheel?"

The new five-storey building will include 3,500 parking spots and 680 electric vehicle charging stations, and the government hopes it will generate $60 million in annual revenue.

Kamlager-Dove: We cannot have a president asleep on the job. Is he sleeping in classified briefings or on calls with foreign leaders? How can we trust a president who is literally asleep at the wheel?
"Hey Ontario! Just wanted to take this opportunity while my owner's in the spa to send out a big THANK YOU for the parking lot. I know you gave up a whack o' cash and some LOVELY waterside parkland for it — so generous! I appreciate your sacrifice."

Oh, you don't appreciate the Premier spending 29 million on a private jet? Good! Neither do I.

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew is Canada's most popular premier, with an approval rating of 62%.
Premier Doug Ford's push to get beer and wine into convenience stores ahead of schedule will cost Ontario taxpayers at least $225 million, but there's evidence the full price tag could add up to hundr...

This ~3,500-space waterfront parking garage is baffling for many reasons, but let’s focus on the accounting. Prov says it’ll generate $60m a year. That’s about $47 per space per day. For comparison, the garage under City Hall does $14 per space per day. St. Mike’s does $24. Sankofa Square does $30.
The opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge has been indicative of a poor approach to trade relations by the Carney government.
