Toronto city council expecting that the newly privatized recycling collection mandated by the Ford government is going to be "a rough ride."

Brad Bradford doesn't want to know what things like Bill 60 are costing the city and how they're affecting homelessness.

A good column on public #library governance in Ontario, by a Bradford West Gwillimbury councillor and library board member I met during the 71-day strike. www.municipalworld.com/feature-stor...

Happy eightieth to #NeilYoung. Here's his masterpiece as far as I'm concerned. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6Zf...

Toronto is increasingly becoming a city of renters, so these kinds of changes would have an outsized impact here versus other municipalities across the province. The mayor has also premised much of her political strategy since 2023 on winning support from renters.

Great that top Canadian universities are hiring top scholars (why wouldn't they?) but the Ontario Progressive Conservative government has starved the post-secondary sector and the province has the lowest per-student funding of any Canadian province. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/educa...

ultimate = last in a series penultimate = second-to-last in a series antepenultimate = third-to-last in a series preantepenultimate = fourth-to-last in a series propreantepenultimate = fifth-to-last in a series

Arrival of US aircraft carrier off Latin America fuels speculation that US could try to overthrow Venezuelan government.

NEWS: The UK is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

Thanks to anti-vaxxers and governments that keep cutting public health, Canada has a new, inglorious honour - of being the only country in the Americas to lose its measles elimination status. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

This is what I picture when anyone mentions using Chatgpt (I think you are dumb, but I’m also worried about my safety)

This building was central to my life in my early 20s. Working at the Greenpeace office sometimes, meeting other queer youth as I figured myself out, kind people like Anne McGrath and the MCC pastor... so many memories.

Yesterday's #Ontario economic update confirmed the province is forging ahead with more cuts to post-secondary education funding. Ontario already provides by far the lowest per-student funding in Canada, and the gap is widening. #university #college #PSE #education

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

This is a devastating change. Teen Vogue has done some impressive journalism over the last decade or so.

Will you all please take a second to just appreciate these otter ears?

If Canadian PM Carney manages a “reset” with China, it will be the fifth reset in 20 years under three Prime Ministers. Two of those resets have required their own reset, by the same PM, after they went south. Heavy lies the hand on the China Reset button www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

I've been on vacation and just came back to news the Doug Ford gov't is amalgamating 36 conservation authorities into 7. This is a HUGE change and just the latest in a long tense relationship b/w this government and the unique agencies. But first: LETS GO BLUE JAYS 💙 thenarwhal.ca/newsletter-o...

Want to make sure nobody can prove your taxpayer-funded political slush fund isn't actually an effective program? Simple, make sure there's no data anyone can point to. Kind of like not bothering to audit the books so that nobody can see what you're embezzling.

A good column on the Secord school debacle in #Toronto by @jennie1ofmany.bsky.social. A crumbling #school with moldering portapak that the ministry won't replace...and an idea of how to move the project forward. beachmetro.com/2025/10/23/i...

While I'm on a tear about #university #labour issues, sessional instructors, TAs and RAs @ University of #Waterloo have been without a first contract since organizing three or four years ago. Use this online action to tell UW to get the lead out. actionnetwork.org/letters/resp...

A #union shouldn't hire a multinational employer-side law firm to gut the contract of its own staff. Tell the York University Faculty Association to get back to the table and start behaving like a proper union: cupe.ca/yufa-fair-deal

NOW will everyone get on board with dumping the monarchy in Canada???

Yikes. www.environicsinstitute.org/docs/default...

To get buy-in from all 10 provinces (which it didn't), Canada's constitution has a clause allowing provinces to override its fundamental rights and freedoms. The framers -- I've spoken to some -- imagined it used in existential-crisis cases. Well, a province just used it to break a teachers' strike

Does anybody out there have a job with working hours and pay they can live on? I mean, one job that has set hours and you don't work when you go home? I realize I've never had that in my adult life. What's it like?

Wouldn't it be great if a $100 ticket resold for...$100!? That's what we're proposing with our Fans First plan: no ticket resales above face value. Sign the petition: FairPricesNow.ca #WANTITALL

There is a name for leaders of governments who think they are above the law.

What is it that modern condo developers have against kitchens? (Noting that I can get a well maintained older condo with a full kitchen and twice the square footage for half the price they're charging for a shoebox with no soundproofing and a fridge and stove in the living room).

This is the city I am proud to call home!

I always pointed to Walkerton when the Ford gang talked about "cutting red tape." They're about a quick buck, not about your health or safety.

Thanks for letting us know, Steve.

Here it is: the Trump Administration "draft proposal" to the University of California. Published bc faculty sued for its disclosure. Its terms go beyond what Trump demands in similar compacts to other universities. EVERYONE should read: faculty, students, admins, alumni. ucop.edu/communicatio...

Acorn Canada's breakdown of Doug Ford's landlord-friendly legislation to gut protections for renters "They would make it easier for landlords to kick people out, harder for tenants to fight back, and make housing even more expensive" From @acorncanada.bsky.social:

Doug Ford is about to make Ontario's housing crisis even worse by ensuring that renters with leases will live in constant fear of being forced out so that landlord can demand higher rent. Many will be forced into homelessness.

So many skis, snowboards, boots, goggles, bags, etc. #Toronto #Ski and #Snowboard swap is this weekend at the Better Living Centre! (Proceeds support Canadian Ski Patrol)

Trump just found out that Canada burned the original building down and decided he'd have the biggest and best White House demolition ever!

Federal officials have fined a Vancouver-based cryptocurrency exchange $177 million, saying it failed to report transactions potentially involved with laundered money linked to child sex abuse material, fraud and sanctions evasion. zurl.co/EVANr #bcpoli #cdnpoli

#Solidarity with #MSVU PT Faculty who are trying to get a #FairDeal to improve their working conditions If you are in #Halifax, join them in solidarity today at noon at the Seton Building entrance. #canlab #cdnpse #MakeItFair @cautdefencefund.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social @cupens.bsky.social

If you want to improve #safety and #congestion in #Toronto, deal with vehicles that park illegally and block #traffic, and deal with drivers running red lights. One intersection alone clocked >30,000 red light tix. One address on Bloor >760,000 parking fines. torontolife.com/city/this-da...

I've had the privilege of supporting #library workers across Ontario the last couple of years. Here's a story about some of them coming together when the Ford government closed save consumption sites. cupe.ca/working-unsa... #OPLW2025

Climate-related hazards have killed more than 2 million people in 50 years, said the UN meteorological agency.

A gentle reminder of what the Ford government means. Conservatives are no friends to rural communities.

This is a really interesting story about a very unusual landlord/tenant relationship in #Toronto
