Lots of differences in education culture/system that people don’t realize. Contrary to the US, with many small selective private universities like Harvard, all of Canada’s notable universities are large and public. The University of Toronto has more undergrads than the entire Ivy League.

We’re gonna need to appoint another border czar when they discover one of them is a covert Canadian operator.

That’s Sen. Bill Cassidy, *MD*, who ignored all of the warning signs and went on cast the deciding vote in confirming Kennedy anyway.

And RIP The Washington Post too, while we’re at it.

Right now there's a clear and obvious relationship between social media and anti-social behavior, and we cannot go on like this.

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.bsky.social

If we made it illegal to talk about trans women in sports unless you can prove that you've actually WATCHED women's sports, we'd shut up 99% of these fucking clowns.

There are a lot of Americans travelling to my city this summer. We will, of course, be our usual welcoming Canadian selves, but I personally will be asking you what you know about this, what you have done, and what you plan to do about after your vacation.

Who else?

What movie did you see way too young?

Ugh. Read the room, those of you who are letting fireworks off in Toronto on July 4.

Here's a mini fireworks show I found in the slow motion details of a marine flare. I set this up to capture smoke patterns, but was delighted to find that what look like sparks to the naked eye are tiny perfect fireballs streaking through the sky when seen in close-up at 42x slower than real-time.

What the heck. My highschool rocket club (with nothing more than grade 9 physics) had a better a better success rate than this.

Every event has a soundtrack. America, you make us crazy & sometimes it’s hard not to feel that you deserve what’s happening to you, but really, every word here resonates so profoundly. You do need a little mercy now. #NoKings youtu.be/vL6JoP0KCoo

Bill 5 allows Minsters to declare any community in ON exempt from all Municipal & Provincial laws. To the Minister: "Do you realize how profoundly undemocratic Bill 5 is to allow a Minister, by fiat, to override By-laws as well as our democratically created Provincial laws?" #ONpoli #TOpoli

American hedge funds own much of Canada’s private media—including the Toronto Sun. CBC? It’s publicly owned. Accountable to us. Not MAGA donors. That’s why they want to kill it. That’s why we fight to save it. #SaveTheCBC #CBCForever #MediaMatters #CdnPoli

Ahhh! The anticipation of a quiet long weekend that gets challenged by neighbours on both sides who have duelling services underway: simultaneous leaf blowing and duct cleaning.

Years ago, my first job was at an ad agency buying space in publications like the NYT; the first lesson I learned was this: There is no such thing as a free lunch.

This is what happens when cops get too cosy with politicians & are ok with acting on political ideology over the law. If you are in ON🇨🇦 & are troubled by what you see here, recall that Barrie, Durham & Toronto Police associations recently broke the law & endorsed the CPC & Poilievre. #ONPoli

American writer on PM Carney's meeting with Trump. Wow. Canadians should take note. www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/mark-carne...

Who does this remind you of, Ontario? For all of his Captain Canada stuff, Doug Ford is the best friend to his own agenda and needs constant supervision. #ONPoli

OMG. Grandpa is lost in Canadian Tire and needs someone to get him back to the car. Meanwhile, Carney, thankfully off camera, desperately trying to keep his eyes from rolling into his economist cranium. #Trump

By choosing a rural Alberta riding, Poilievre will put himself smack dab in the midst of an Alberta separation referendum. He needs to be asked about that repeatedly by the media that he likes to ignore because some of his would-be voters won't like it if he writes them off. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
