Humanity is self-harming itself by letting AI run unchecked.

The US Supreme Court GOP judges allow Americans to starve.

BREAKING: Following trial, Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, finds that Trump did not properly invoke federal law to call up the National Guard and "permanently enjoins Defendants’ orders to deploy federalized members of the National Guard to Oregon."

White male privilege run amok actually looks quite whiny and pathetic, the flip side of cruel.

The City bending over backwards to present Lansdowne 2.0 info with white gloves, make special financial exceptions, and then do absolutely nothing to meaningfully improve the transit and traffic situation on Bank Street is incredibly disappointing.

So, the Trump administration and the GOP want to shift the burden to the Supreme Court to see if it'll cut off SNAP funding for them because Republicans won't end the shutdown by being decent, moral people who actually care about others. www.cnn.com/2025/11/07/p...

Judge Immergut's ruling is 106 pages long - there's a LOT in there. But I tried to hit some of the highlights.

2. When the city adopted to short-sighted plan to build a new Salvation Army shelter in Vanier, the community came together to oppose an outdated model and propose a new approach (housing first) when it comes to the fight against homelesness.

1. Wish I was surprised, but this is another byproduct of the suburban/rural dominance of council. The major disappointment though is the vote in favour of Lansdowne by @stephanieplante.bsky.social, the Rideau-Vanier councillor . Let me explain why as someone who lived in Vanier for many years.

Poilievre prevents more MPs from leaving party by locking doors, swallowing key

I wrote about how the proposed changes to Ontario's eviction rules are a state response to rent strikes in Toronto that undermine tenant organizing ricochet.media/justice/hous...

Walking downtown Ottawa always feels like an obstacle course. When it rains cars splash you left and right and metal plates everywhere become slippery. Sidewalks are uneven and filled w/ holes. Construction is blocking access in every other corner. Slipped twice but got lucky. 😝😭

Skippy is trying to out business PM Goldman Sachs. "Poilievre’s speech, which repurposed some proposals from the Conservative election campaign in the spring, largely championed a free-market ethos."

9.1 million dollars could pay the salary of many educational assistants to keep students safe and open up access to equitable education. What could $9.1 million do for healthcare, public transit, supportive housing, or the environment? #Priorities #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1151529...

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists. They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver. apnews.com/article/trum...

The Sore Loser Party of Canada continues to blame everyone but themselves for their leader’s poor favourability. Mark Carney leads Pierre Poilievre in net favourability by 58 points

Well, we’re not backing down @pressprogress.ca understands what's at stake here If we backed down, what message would that send? Who else would we embolden? The only ones who gain anything are wealthy and powerful people who want to silence your voices and protect their own secrets

Caylan Ford is suing me and PressProgress, along with trusted news organizations like CBC News, the Toronto Star, as well as other award-winning journalists Caylan Ford says she wants to “impose costs” on us as part of a larger crusade to “fight back against cancel culture” 🙄

But this lawsuit is so much bigger than me or PressProgress This lawsuit could have chilling implications for journalism and democracy in Canada Caylan Ford is also asking the court to protect politicians’ secrets and prevent journalists from reporting on documents leaked by whistleblowers

Hi Bluesky 👋 Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

While researching my current column, I had trouble finding something PM Carney said in a speech in either Factiva or Google, so I tried asking ChatGPT-5 to search for it. This was its internal response. It hallucinates in basic searches. It can't write truth. It can't copyedit. What is it good for?

Today's newsletter is about getting stuff done.

Over financial greed.

Something deeply fucked up when you can blindly break basic state functions and condemn millions to death and then people make you the richest man in the world instead of a pariah

“It’s disappointing to see that there isn’t a strong emphasis by the government on estimating the expecting emissions from each tax credit, and as well estimating the value for money for Canadians in these large-scale subsidies” www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

“Before the Hapsburgs(…), it had been owned by the Medici family, the rulers of Florence.(…) But now, with the vow fulfilled, the family wants to display the Florentine Diamond and other jewels in Canada to thank the country for taking in the empress and her children.” Left in a Québec bank. 💎

A fascinating piece of history. How did a priceless gem linked to the defunct Austrian crown, long thought lost to war or profiteers wind up hidden for a century in a Quebec bank vault?

Elon Musk getting a trillion dollars while Trump withholds food and cancels flights is perfect optics for Democrats. Don't screw this up.
