Canada’s Big Six banks have engineered a $2.2 trillion mortgage debt bubble. According to a new report by @maketheshift.bsky.social, banks’ lending practices have pushed home prices out of reach and left the public holding the bag. breachmedia.ca/canadas-big-...

In collaboration w/ @groundwork.bsky.social & @moreperfectunion.bsky.social, we convened hundreds of volunteers from across the country to investigate Instacart’s AI-assisted pricing experiments at popular grocery stores like Target & Kroger. Read our full investigation below:

Why dark clouds loom over Bike Share Toronto, despite its undeniable success Opinion in the Star by @graphicmatt.com

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

the fact that nick fuentes isn’t here but ms rachel is illustrates perfectly that groups like this don’t actually care about antisemitism at all

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30. Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50. I’m 58 now. HIV treatment works. Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex. Ensure HIV treatment for all. End HIV stigma. #WorldAIDSDay

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business. The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay. It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders. Textbook corporate greed.

I know people are closely following what's going on the US and the horrors of ICE, but do you know how Canada is quickly and quietly is growing its deportation machinery? Canada plans to increase deportations by 25 percent over the next two years. 25 PERCENT!!! Here are 5 other things to know:

POV: you are a young woman celebrating a recent academic success

Immigration is too low AND ALSO Canada id one of the countries most responsible for taking in climate refugees. So our choice is to open our doors or slam them on the people whose houses we burned down.

thrilled to see @thejuicemedia.com taking aim at mark carney and david eby’s big, terrible push for lng. i may be tempted to call carney “banker daddy” from now on though 😬

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

I wrote an op-ed on what I think about the fight for local neighbourhood retail (and the grousing about Badiali's) means for the urban vision of Toronto. Gift link here: www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

Here's the biggest PSE story you haven't heard yet: the Canada Student Grant for low-income students is being cut from $4200/year to $3000/year as of next August. It's implicit in the budget tables but the government is too chickenshit to actually say so directly.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

If you appreciated Teen Vogue’s incisive and vital reporting on race and culture, thank the Black editors and journalists who did that work. If you read their stories on trans youth and queer liberation and disability, thank the queer and trans and disabled writers who wrote them. It’s simple math!!

I will not, as discussed before, read another single story that is clutching pearls about people's reproductive choices. But every time I see one, I'll remind you that there is no economic problem that cannot be solved with immigration and/or taxing wealth hoarders.

They literally ruin everything they touch

This was such a blast! So grateful when folks in the media give academics the space to talk about our work in accessible and public-facing ways.

This chart always makes me think about how we made the streets "safer" by making sure no one goes outside ever, especially kids

Because every company's board members own shares in AI ventures.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Honestly. What do #Bluejays see in Brendon Little that the rest of us are missing?

Well that was predicted by every group chat in Canada

A driver going 154 km/h in a typical vehicle has ~2000 times the kinetic energy and destructive power of the average person on a bicycle, and ~500 times the destructive power of a typical e-bike. #BikeTO

I've never been a big fan of baseball. It's fun to go watch it at skydome every couple years with friends, but other than that I'll pay attention during the playoffs. Right now the Blue Jays are a nice little escape from the hellscape that is the world.

How, exactly, do the Canadian Armed Forces deploy on operations with an ally who doesn't respect ROEs?

The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network. This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”. They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left. This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...
