It's a real toss-up between the active disdain for transit users because they're poor, or this notion that it's some kind of luxury that can only be spent on if drivers are fully satisfied. Just a complete inability to comprehend the reality for so many people, and we all suffer for it.

OFFS it’s true! Ford is selling off Ontario’s prime waterfront to an American bank by expanding Billy Bishop Airport! His whole Captain Canada 🇨🇦 BS was just to get reelected! If he loves Trump and wants to be an American so bad he should quit and move back there! #FightFord 🤬

I'm hearing reports that the NY State Assembly just passed the plug-in solar vote by a wide margin, joining the State Senate. Assuming the governor signs it, that will be the 8th state making it legal (and the biggest). A groundswell across the country, and so many thanks to great organizers!

Thinking about RRIFs today; it got me thinking we could do something similar the wealthy. Once you go over a certain estate value, you'd be forced to convert some of it to cash and pay the appropriate amount of tax. We do it to seniors, so why not to the rich? www.woodgundy.cibc.com/en/reference...

From defunding safe consumption sites to criminalizing homelessness to hiding data, Doug Ford's government is failing us when it comes to public health.

Good news. Canadians of all stripes care about protecting the environment. It's a good starting point.

It's reassuring to see the Ontario Liberal Party is still running itself like a well-oiled Ford Pinto.

Shower thoughts: "accelerate" has both a hard- and soft-sounding c that happen to be placed together.

@forwardcanada.bsky.social I was listening to Cross Country Checkup today and it seemed more people who wanted Alberta to separate called into the show that people who want to remain. I'm not an Albertan, but of course I want them to remain in Canada. Just like during the Convoy, the people who 1/x

If you are a Canadian who cares about energy issues and, now, national unity, you need to become familiar with Max Fawcett. He's a pro at doing deep dives into issues that politicians try to simplify for their own agendas.

There are Doug Ford protests planned all over Ontario on Saturday, May 30. Find one close to you here: protestdougford.com/may-30th-pro... If you’re in Toronto, see you at Queen’s Park (111 Wellesley Street West) from 11 am to 12:30 pm. #FightFord #DougFordIsCorrupt

Amazing how different energy discussion is in Asia. Relying on imported fossil fuels seen as a huge energy security risk. Focus is on reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels by electrifying & moving to cheaper renewable energy. Risk to oilsands isn’t climate policy, it’s the energy transition.

That would be today.

Woohoo! I got my Canadian Bread Settlement payment.

The response from Fraser and the OLP continues to be an expression of full confidence in the system, even after learning of all the irregularities claimed by Erskine-Smith. This in and of itself is an odd move, @supriya.bsky.social writes.

No, Mark Carney isn't just like Stephen Harper on climate and the environment, as some have argued lately. But he's not like Justin Trudeau either. That's a good thing, as far as climate policy is concerned. Today's announcement proves it. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/15/o...
