Motorists in cities create barriers for people. They move with a sense of entitlement and intimidate even when being respectful. This brilliant campaign from Quebec shows exactly what it takes to get motorists to actually yield. We have to prioritize human lives and safety over vehicular momentum.

CBC Just Asking with its guests is doing a fabulous job explaining what's happening in Iran. My biggest takeaway: the Iranian people are relieved and grateful for this mission because they've been under the current theocratic regime for the last 40 years. 1/x

On Monday we're all going to be shocked by an interview @petermansbridge.bsky.social had with Pierre Poilievre. There's a sneak peek in this episode of Good Talk.

A clear yet ignored message.

He does realize that the higher the number the better, right????

I await the day when their ultimate vision is laid bare: billionaires sitting around in a ruined world, Agentic AIs doing everything for them, while the rest of humanity is detained and turned into batteries to run the Agentic AIs, Matrix-style.

The Trump-Russia Scandal (2015–) was always 100% real. And the Trump-Ukraine Scandal (2018–) is *also* the Trump-Russia Scandal... and is *also* 100% real. And Americans will soon learn that the *Epstein Scandal* (1987–) is *also* the Trump-Russia Scandal. Stay tuned to PROOF.

It's easy for Ford to gloss over the past, so I'm glad someone kept receipts on what's happened to higher ed in Ontario. I would add to this detailed thread that reducing housing costs will also go a long way to fixing the affordability problems the low and middle income classes face.

@davidarobertson.bsky.social OMG, I'm reading All the Little Monsters and I can't thank you enough for putting your experience into words. It's helping me enormously!

They're now waiting for Trump to show up so he can receive his Olympic hockey gold medal.

Living next to the US skew our perspective on how well our country is doing. Rather than be defensive we should strive to do better. I don't blame the Liberals, although they can help fix this and might be partly to blame. There are also big issues at the provincial level. So let's get to work!

Interesting episode.

My colleague @alexboutilier.bsky.social reached out to Harper & Associates Consulting. Here's what they told him: "Neither Prime Minister Harper nor his business associates have ever met, corresponded with or received any payment from Jeffrey Epstein or an entity associated with him."

I'm seeing this get shared around in lots of places. (So apologies for picking on Judy) But it is sloppy research. This wire transfer is to "Harper & Associates Inc," which is the name of multiple firms across the U.S. The former prime minister's company is "Harper & Associates Consulting Inc."

If you were someone just getting into watching baseball, what questions would you have about the Jays, the game, etc.? I'm curious and planning future comedy videos. E.g. last year I got to explain the different types of pitchers on a roster to a friend who had just started going to games. ⚾👀

Students in this country, and this province, deserve better.

Hoping for some advice: Is there a federal agency which oversees extended vehicle warranty complaints? Admittedly, part of it is on me for going with what I was told verbally by the salesman, when the actual written details of the extended warranty offered one less yr. Secondly, issues which

PASSED: the House just passed the resolution to end Trump's tariffs on Canada. Not many crosses from Republicans, a lot of vulnerable incumbents took a dumb vote here to stick with Trump and GOP leadership. Goes to the Senate, which is likely to pass it. Will share the vote sheet when I have it!
