Come down to the calm serenity of Ontario Place now with provincial police station - highway patrol, a helipad and a provincial horse mounted unit news.ontario.ca/en/release/1...

The Doug Ford gov't has passed its 2026 budget bill, which officially removes Ontario's right to know. How he governs, why decisions get made—we'll never know. The same bill consolidates conservation authorities. That's your democracy & your drinking water being impacted #onpoli

welcome to toronto

militarily imperative ballroom

the Artemis crew took photography classes so they could take the best photos possible up there 😭

this policy only means Canadians will be forced to upload identity documents to popular platforms to prove their age, it doesn't mean kids will be protected from the internet at large because thats impossible. This is dumb

maybe an unpopular take but I think they need to deal with other issues (priority signalling, intersections and switching) before dealing with stop spacing because stop spacing is a functional change and with the other issues present just makes it moderately less functional but still slow

a fair question!

toronto, man

trying to understand how someone like Doly Begum aligns herself with someone like Marilyn Gladu

this is hell

This is real

Radio syndicator of Canadaland, CFUV - Victoria's non-profit community radio station, ended their service exchange agreement with Canadaland at the end of February

after a few hundred comments, Globe and Mail closed the comments section on this completely out-to-lunch opinion-hit piece with the addendum, "All articles covering the Middle East [?] are closed to commenting to prevent further misinformation and abuse in the comments." -

Brown admits to sending messages to Mark Bourrie and several Reddit users as part of an investigation that involved “IP tracking,” but the media critic flatly denies any involvement in or knowledge of any emails sent to the several other journalists"

The Canadaland subreddit is back with 4 new moderators.

says he’s dealing with “more reasonable” people yet threatening to blow up desalination plants, power plants and oil infrastructure - not great

Good rundown of the facts before the supposed “investigation” released by Brown this week.

Jesse Brown is saying people are "jump[ing] to wild conclusions surrounding his IP tracking saga - that he is referring to as "Reddit Drama" - so I laid out just the facts in a Substack post here -https://open.substack.com/pub/toomuchanalysis/p/canadaland-reddit-drama-mark-bourrie

Jesse Brown (finally) comments on this and claims people are "jumping to conclusions" (despite being asked directly what's going on by several journalists, like Scott below) so these are the facts, laid out in a google doc - as far as I can tell - docs.google.com/document/d/1...

setting up a sock puppet email scam and a sock puppet reddit mod scam (that's traceable because the real mod knows!) only to call a guy on the phone (Bourrie) to send him the same kind of link directly.... to apparently uncover sock puppets... is some extremely concerning psychological behaviour ngl

lol'd irl

I can confirm the following journalists received phishing emails from the mysterious “Canadaland Tipster” who shared links to pages on @canadaland.com’s website containing an embedded IP tracer: • Me • Rachel Gilmore • Scott Martin • The Maple • Nora Loreto • Ethan Cox • Karyn Pugliese

For those following #Canadalandgate #Metoo : weird messages with links. Got one on Dm'd Bluesky, and four in an email.

I got the same IP spear phishing email from the so-called "Canadaland tipster" linking to a page on Canadaland's website with an IP tracer I'm aware of several other journalists who've also received this If you received this too, please DM or email me: [email protected]

Update: It looks like there's an IP tracker embedded into the Canadaland dot com slash Bourrie page that appears to be tracing the IP addresses of visitors to the Bourrie page It links to the website: tracemyip.org Maybe @canadaland.com can explain what is going on here? [h/t @edwardrow.com]

No clue what is going on but Canadaland now has a page on its website called www dot canadaland dot com slash bourrie The page is literally just a photo of Mark Bourrie in what appears to be his high school yearbook? www.canadaland.com/bourrie/

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

This is good news - @spacing.bsky.social has long advocated that the City should have direct control over street furniture. It's not clear why the City would only take over garbage bins and not other street furniture too, however. www.thestar.com/news/gta/tor...

thank christ (secular)

Mercer Union in 2022 - I saw this beautiful, haunting short film by Lawrence Abu Hamdan. It utilizes a unique Canadian-American border loophole - Haskell Free Library and Opera House - to tell a story about violence crossing borders without responsibility - often think of it youtu.be/qipvYWo5B5g?...

bridge in the port lands has some fairly serious damage to its draining infrastructure and also to the benches that were installed on it, I’m guessing from snow removal equipment…

Ford government unveils renders that won’t happen (volume 1) - in a further attempt to justify the closure of the Ontario Science Centre building that’s perfectly fine and operational - built and designed for the purpose - closed due to politics

Did you know that the City is conducting a survey about the future of street furniture in Toronto? The current contract expires in the summer of 2027 and a new vendor & furniture will be picked. Take the survey to have your voice heard. #TOpoli ca.mar.medallia.com?e=90006671&d...

Big day tomorrow. MPs will be discussing (behind closed doors) a draft report on how to best change election rules to throttle a group that points out MPs shouldn't be in charge of their own election rules🤔

how can it be that we have no tools of accountability with public dollars spent at a public agency - $97,000,000 gets withered away to the ether and no one can say why - this is criminal

we've been getting under dealt on winters for years

snow desire lines @ grange park

half a decade since the Doug Ford government put up these “affordable housing” signs in early 2021 at the former dominion foundry to justify their hurried demolition of the site - despite a full rezoning in the form of MZO in fall 2020 the demo’d parts have been a parking lot for years, no housing

Toronto City Hall has a viewing deck that is kept closed except for rare occasions - "Doors Open" Toronto - in which you must arrive early and stand in line for hours to even glimpse the views. People have long called to reactivate these spaces, takes a love for the city you're in charge of to do it

anyone seeing any starling murmurations in toronto this year? wondering where good places in the city are

Bad summary IMO. The federal murder charge was dismissed: "U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett dismissed a federal murder charge against Mangione, finding it was technically flawed."
