ok, so this is cool.

There’s a non-zero likelihood that many of the people complaining about speeding tickets being a cash grab have fallen for this Service Ontario scam, which is indeed… a cash grab.

"That was the whole point of the event. It had nothing to do with improving our national security and military readiness. It was a role-play session for undeserving straight, white guys who could never hack it and resent those who could."

We can't let her down. We just can't. janegoodall.ca

The world has lost its most powerful advocate for nature and hope. Yet many remain who will continue her legacy and I know she will continue to inspire generations more.

Anyone else going to try to get their poinsettia ready for Christmas? I just brought mine in and will start the 13-hour darkness regime tonight. Here's my before shot. I'll post it again at Christmas.

They are like the wrestlers of protests, except dangerous rather than entertaining.

Double header for the #uncommonspod today, joined by Kate Robertson (senior researcher at @citizenlab.ca U of T) and Adam Sadinsky (immigration & refugee lawyer) discussing Bill C-2's implications on surveillance, cross-border data sharing, and our asylum process.

The faces of our generals as they listen to a 34-time convicted felon and 5-time draft dodger.

So cool to watch someone win $1 million on Wheel of Fortune. Something nice to see on a shitty day.

Calm, cool, and correct.

At this most horrible moment in our world's history, I'm going to take a moment to remember our past atrocities.

I don't think this is true. Is there anyone out there with receipts? Because it's awfully dangerous to accuse this guy of wrongdoing at this moment in history. It will backfire and provide him with amunition. cultmtl.com/2024/09/hund...

Among the BS being spewed today, what the hell does climate change have to do with it, other than it will become a force multiplier as disasters exponentially increase as it worsens?

If this is what Hegseth defines as warrior culture, someone in Canada needs to push Poilievre to explain what he means by warrior culture. Either Poilievre is dog whistling to get votes or he plans to take us down the same dark path as the US. Either leads to a bad outcome for Canadians.

Canadians, is that meteorologist Cindy Day featured in Plan B, Season 3? @cbcgem.bsky.social

Government by law breakers, for law breakers.

Dear Doug Ford: Who's going to pay for speed bumps, pray tell? The province? Will you raise our taxes to pay for that? The city? So all municipal taxes will increase? Who will pay?

Huh!?! TD Bank has not prepared any bank statements in pdf format since the beginning of the year, nor have they sent me paper copies. This is the sort of thing that keeps people from switching to electronic delivery of documents. @tdbank.bsky.social And now there's a postal strike.

Only in Canada.

Great summary of how Alberta gets its revenues and what equalization payments are intended for.

Where you can send comments to Doug Ford. correspondence.premier.gov.on.ca/EN/feedback/...

I sent comments to Ford through their online portal on: -Removing speed cameras -Removing bike lanes -Taking over school boards for "fiscal" reasons. I don't have a record of what I said exactly but I took issue with the overreach, interfering with our democracy, & using tax $ for court costs.

I'm just disappointed that Canada Post didn't focus on email. They had it in place and at some point I was told about it. We all had our own personal email address. Did you know that? I thought about using it to move off Google, because fuck monopolies, but Canada Post cancelled the email service.

For McKenna, the state of play is clear. The fossil fuel industry committed to climate action, then raked in “obscene” profits. Those could have been used for clean energy diversification, but the sector chose instead to return billions to largely US-based shareholders.

To the drivers behind me, having a speed "limit", by definition, means it's ok that I'm driving at that limit.

We're failing them.

👇🏼

What should we focus on when we contact Ford? Overreach on Speed cameras Bike lanes or School boards Maybe mention all 3????? And, come on @ontarioliberal.bsky.social @maritstilesndp.bsky.social, a little help would be appreciated.

Dearest Martha I am writing to share news of our latest battle against the radical left wing. Yesterday, as we rallied and charged the gates of the United Nations, we suffered an immense defeat. As we prepared to breach the gates we were flanked and attacked by an enemy escalator.

Perhaps a few of us should contact Ford.

Yesterday at the grocery store someone yelled at me "I thought the pandemic was over", as, yes, I was wearing a mask, so this reminder from @drgorfinkel.bsky.social is welcome. Interesting problem about masks turning into microplastics. Would be nice to hear if there are solutions to that.

This would resolve so many things.

Are you autistic? What did you think of the announcement yesterday? I want to hear from you for a Guardian US article: [email protected]

President Trump advised pregnant people to "fight like hell not to take Tylenol" ...but failed to mention the RISKS of maternal fever: -Birth defects -Miscarriage -Preterm labour -Neurodevelopmental problems in the baby. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/u...

The sad thing is that even after sitting through his lecture, the UN leaders have to conduct themselves as if they're dealing with a sane leader.

@mark-carney.bsky.social On X, right now, I'm watching PM Carney be interviewed live at the UN. Why. Not. Post. Here???????

asiatimes.com/2025/09/glob... Interesting. Globally, China is doing everything right, the US under Trump, is doing almost everything wrong.

Good, doggy.

@mark-carney.bsky.social why are you favouring Shitter over this site? Some of your supporters are over here, too.

@mark-carney.bsky.social account, why don’t you post more to #BlueSky? Why do you insist upon using Twitter? It’s actually quite annoying.

#Canada #Canadians I notice that the account @mark-carney.bsky.social only posts a fraction of what they do on X. Given that many of us have left that platform for moral reasons, so I find it uninclusive for them to not treat us equally. Can we repost this to the max extent to get their attention?

This is the future of mainstream media and if you don't like it, you need to build yourself your own media list of independents.
