Call Ford to say, "NO!" to his latest move to avoid accountability. I did and got right thru. Ford ☎️ (staffed 24/7): 416 325-1941

Doug Ford uses his private cellphone to conduct public business to skirt Freedom of Information rules. He said turning those phone records over would breach his privacy. The court said, oops, that only made his phone records subject to FOI. So now he’s trying to change the FOI rules instead.

I am begging my fellow Canadians to take a break for a second from obsessing about American corruption to focus on our home grown versions. Ford is a corrupt crony goon who has done countless shady backroom deals. He wants to remove one of our most powerful tools to hold him accountable. Fuck that!

FUCKING READ THIS!!! #Toronto

Hey Toronto COVID-safe(r) friends! This month’s Masked at the Movies is family-friendly with a screening of A GOOFY MOVIE. It’s on Sunday afternoon and I hope to see you there! Details, accessibility info, and free registration all at the link! 💕 www.eventbrite.ca/e/1983826064...

Huh. Prescribing testosterone replacement therapy for those who do not need it is associated with higher risks of tendon tears, such as in the rotator cuff. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40296344/

listen all y'all, it's a

Oh my god: this is *daytime* in Tehran.

"There's something going around" Yeah. It's COVID. wwater.ca/Ontario/Toro...

Seems like very high levels of Covid out there right now, Ontario. You’d look silly NOT wearing a mask in this spike. Just sayin 😷

Torontonians - if you don’t wear a mask any more and you haven’t had Covid in a while, now is a great time to get it! It’s nearly off the charts! wwater.ca/Ontario/Toro...

Guy at our local bar: “Hey, did you know it’s Customer Appreciation Day?” Me: “No, I didn’t fuckin’ know that! <laughs>” Guy: <looks distraught; walks away> Husband: “WHY did you swear at him?!?” Me: “Because he said it was Cuss Word Appreciation Day!” Husband: “🤦‍♂️ That’s… not what he said… ”

Baseball friends! The Toronto Public Library has some great baseball talks coming up in their Salon Series, and they're online. The first one is on Friday, March 20 at noon. Check out the series!

I’ve unmasked a white nationalist fight club in my city: Montreal. After weeks of work (with help!), I can reveal an Olympian as a member of the Frontenac Active Club — one who, unbeknownst to the owners, brought them to a local gym for training and propaganda photos. Here’s my investigation:

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social this was a KEY part of your campaign and we believed you when you said it. But you have been radio fucking silent on this issue. Are you going to abandon trans people or are you gonna keep your promises?

Read my piece out in The Guardian today on all of this. If you are spreading bullshit about social media being "addictive" and "harmful to children" you are complicit in manufacturing consent for mass AI surveillance and allowing big tech to seize even more power while censoring lawful speech.

The same way you don't want people bombing you and your loved ones is the same exact thing that other people feel where they live.

we protected my mom from COVID for 5 years. She caught it at the hospital during an outbreak in the dialysis ward (!!) and died 5 days later. we will do nothing with this information as a society

Clicks to your blog are not worth selling out your humanity. If Substack supporting Nazis wasn’t the redline to get you off that platform, let’s effing hope the betting on when bombs will kill children in school finally is.

Ban kids from social media? You can’t without ID checks for everyone. That builds surveillance infrastructure that won’t just “protect children," it will track dissent. We’ve seen this before. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #FreeSpeech #Surveillance #SocialMedia

For Mark Carney, the leader of a democratic country, to back a war his counterpart Trump started without the approval of the United States government, should raise serious questions for Canadians about the value our own Prime Minister places on our democratic process.

All the Fetterman "brain damage" jokes and all the "Epstein distraction" posts share a common thread. Everyone is looking for a way to avoid the fact that the United States is an imperial power and nearly all of its leaders (in both parties) are bloodthirsty in their enthusiasm for wielding it.

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

Nothing is surprising about the US starting another war. Nothing is more dangerous to Earth and mankind at large than the United States and its complete and utter failure to curtail the worst excesses of humanity. The US oligarchy and its influence on global politics must end.

The Prime Minister of Canada, a country that the lunatic-run US is illegally threatening openly supports the lunatic-run US illegally attacking Iran. This won't be a red line for Carney's fans, but my goodness it ought to be for everyone else.

This is significantly *worse* than the invasion of Iraq in 2003 (at least they tried to make their bullshit case to the international community back then). And Carney explicitly supports it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Hobbes is spreading health disinformation. Even if the vaccines did do what he says uptake has collapsed, most governments are now running defacto programs of regular mass infection to replace mass vaccination. All my friends with long Covid were vaxxed. His fear of the pandemic makes him do this

"Why are so many people still on the stupid nazi website" Simply put, a lot of people are too stupid to realize they're on a nazi website or too much of a nazi to realize they're on a stupid website

I want to stress: COVID IS a test of moral integrity. You can check wastewater data in your area. Levels of community transmission are high where I am. I am just as vulnerable to COVID as I was in 2020. I would be safer if other people acknowledged that and took action to get boosters and wear N95s

I’m so glad team USA promptly embarrassed everyone who cheered for them by partying with Kash Patel and gleefully taking a phone call from the pedophile dictator in chief, complete with misogynist jokes. That’s your country and that’s your team America, the rest of the world is disgusted.

Matthew Tkachuk is literally on Trump’s anti-trans sports board. Kash Patel was celebrating in the dressing room with Dylan Larkin. Jack Eichel was photographed attending a Trump rally. The team will inevitably go to Trump’s White House soon, too. Do NOT tell me to separate the team from the regime

it's bleakly hilarious to have people complaining that using the word "nazi" to describe people calling for racial cleansing and forced breeding is "rendering the word meaningless," while supporters of the US government use the word "communist" to describe having a functioning healthcare system

People on Bluesky: “sPoRtS aReN’t PoLiTiCaL” The United States men’s national hockey team: *parties in their dressing room with Kash Patel*

And now Blue Jays fans have to endure the NESN broadcast. Canadians can’t even have Ben and Madison today. 😔 <flips desk>

anyway, germany did really well during the 1936 berlin olympics too

Kevin O’Leary credits acting chops to years of convincing people he wasn’t driving the boat

The NIH has this great project called LitCovid that gathers Long COVID research in one place. It's kind of amazing to see the studies piling up and getting better. Science takes its time, but it does show up. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/research/cor...

Again, it feels insane how little attention is being paid to this. The build up to Iraq was months long, in the open, full public debate. This stuff is currently below Toy Story 5 on the BBC website.

The most challenging part about figure skating is that skaters have to play Wordle on the ice and it counts as part of their technical score.

Does anyone know a very affordable graphic designer who could help me with some merch related designs (key words very affordable! this is a pretty simple project).

Telling my husband about MPP and he said my nickname should be “Captain Klutz”… Reader? He’s not wrong.
