More ActiveTO and OpenStreetsTO, pls

I drove downtown every day for work this week, and all I could think was, "Why the fuck would anyone want to drive here." It's hell. More bike lanes now.

Sadly, a couple of paragraphs later, I think it becomes clarified what the intention is here, and it isn't solving homelessness. These prisons will involve P3 contracts.

Doug Ford has committed to criminalizing homeless people "[using] whatever legal tools" in today's Speech from the Throne. All while tariffs threaten to end livelihoods. All while his government has overseen exponential growth in homelessness province-wide. news.ontario.ca/en/speech/10...

This photo shows all you need to live a good life. Hydrate. Scream. Be a cat.

All this elbow talk around tariffs has got me thinking about when I told my partner, who was rolling dough at the time, to put his elbows into it (no, I did not realize that what I was saying was, in fact, a malaphor).

Vote 4 Erwin.

today's leaders are not meeting the moment. it is time for a change. it is time for Chancleta.

Saw a new-to-me duck species today!! A White-Winged Scoter. Celebrating with a Ducks IPA, though the depicted duck, which I believe to be a Northern Shoveler, still eludes me. Times may be shit, but I can forget about that for a while when I see a cool DUCK. Oh yea and buy local?

Legend. Thanks @springmagca.bsky.social for this inspiring screening of Union and talk with Chris Smalls and co-director Brett Story!

Harm reduction group I'm a part of is making soup for the meeting tonight and now I can't stop thinking about soup. For my family.

Doug Ford not taking responsibility for how he has fcked up healthcare, housing, education, etc:

This is important: A prospective Ford government has signalled its intention to expand prisons and put homeless people in jail rather than build the housing that people need and that is their fundamental right. I don't want a province that makes people homeless then throws them in prison.

I've had this poster since 2018. TWENTY-EIGHTEEN. HOW IS THIS STILL RELEVANT?! It is pretty tho. #StopFord #VoteFordOut #ONpoli

This was a damn good doc describing the experience of anti-fascists, particularly the Abraham Lincoln Brigade from the U.S., in the Spanish Civil War. Includes interviews with badass ALB survivors. Would recommend! m.youtube.com/watch?v=f_G_...

thank god it's weird duck time

This video is for Doug Ford, and all those in my replies saying bike lanes "stop emergency vehicles from getting to their destination". They *allow* emergency vehicles to get to their destination, as seen here on Adelaide. They were designed with emergency services in mind.

AG released scathing report of the Ford gvt’s approach to opioids. even clearer now that they wanted to push the bill through before this report came out. www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-lif...

Toronto showed up tonight and put Ford and his government on notice. This is just the beginning.

Mornings off are for robes and reading

12 Ontario Mayors are formally requesting that Doug Ford invoke the notwithstanding clause to suspend encampment residents' Charter-protected rights so that they can be evicted. If you oppose this suggested abuse of the notwithstanding clause, please sign and share! www.change.org/OntarioEncam...
