Potentially big times for the Windsor-based shirt brand I found a while back that sells these tongue-in-cheek shirts for locals

🤘🏼I wrote about sweating the small stuff. The city parks dept answered city council’s request to look into destructive practices w a shrug. That’s not good enough. Total park reform is needed & needs to be an election platform. If Chow passes on it, someone else surely will. Pls read & share. 🙏🏼🤘🏼

So just to be clear, all taxpayers will pay for traffic calming instead of fining the people that speed and leaving everyone else alone. We like this for a policy change? Are we so afraid of going after the actual rule breakers that we would rather put it on the back of everybody?

The Toronto Star’s City Report Card survey suggests six in 10 Torontonians believe that the city’s best days are in the past. Given the challenges Toronto faces right now, it’s an understandable position, but it’s wrong. My column on teenage Toronto. The future is bright if we….(pls read n share).

Ford and Sarkaria out there convincing people it's the seven* people on the right who are causing congestion, not the three people on the left 🤷 *eight if you include me

Doug Ford’s attack on speed cameras shows how good politics can make for lousy public policy #Opinion from @shawnmicallef.bsky.social

Remember last year when George and Karen Amaro reached out to Doug Ford urging him to not move forward with his anti-bike lane legislation because bike lanes might have saved their daughter Alex's life? And he never responded? www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Welcome back to Toronto, where drivers chase you and your gf down and challenge you to a fight while their psycho dog hangs out the window. Thanks to our provincial govt for stoking hate. I'd report to the police, but they're all at High Park ticketing rolling stops. What a wonderful place to live.

I don't see a return to posting like I used to, but Paris reignited my love for urban cycling. So many options, so much less aggression. Hard to come home to SUV-clogged, angry Toronto. Such a shame our govt is working to undo the progress we've made here. Sarkaria and Ford have such small minds.

We need a charter city status of some sort for more local independence from the province.

#Breaking: Doug Ford government's attempt to remove Toronto bike lanes unconstitutional, judge rules

The idea that somehow people speeding and getting a fine for speeding is anything but their own fault is crazy! The whole speed camera discourse totally ignores. The drivers actually need to be responsible when they're operating a dangerous vehicle on public roads.

“A Financial Times analysis of more than 350,000 posts on X related to the election, gathered since the snap poll was announced in March, revealed a network of co-ordinated accounts pushing content to boost Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and tarnish his counterpart, the Liberal’s Mark Carney.”

Ontario judge's ruling on bike lane removal gives Ford & Ontario government an off-ramp and a chance to act like an adult, writes senior editor John Lorinc [ @johnlorinc.bsky.social ]. spacing.ca/toronto/2025... #ONpoli #TOpoli

This was top notch. I came away extremely confident in Canada's chance at a stronger future after listening to @mark-carney.bsky.social Intelligence - political, emotional and economic. Full support here. (the Carney interview starts around 16:44)

"A nation whispers,"We always knew that he'd go free.""

Boycotting the grocery store until they start buying an equivalent volume of groceries from me

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Turns out the Wall Street Journal was understating. #TrumpsTradeWar

(Reuters) - The "Buy Canadian" movement is sending new ripples of concern through the executive offices of U.S.-based consumer companies that banked on selling their products on Canadian retail shelves. @reuters.com www.reuters.com/business/ret...

Goddamn, this is so embarrassing.

Best baseball pod going 👇

Attacking our economy and threatening our sovereignty isn’t something you just forget with an “oopsie, did our government do that?”

Monstrous. A mafia state trying to shake down (former) allies for territory. “We have no other option. We need to take a significant position in Greenland.” FOX: “Trump believes Greenland is important for global security” Credit: @acyn.bsky.social

“Don't worry guys, hardly any Americans support invading Canada. There’s so few of them that they all fit into the White House!”

Elbows up, Canada.

How can you not be romantic about baseball?

Good work everyone

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I am here today to urge Canadians to avoid travel to the United States if at all possible and to call on our government to stand up for our citizens who are being denied their rights through arbitrary detention in the United States.

My travel warnings to Canadians have been picked up in @newsweek.com. The arbitrary kidnapping of travellers by ICE is a breach of law. The US is acting like a gangster state putting international travellers at serious risk. www.newsweek.com/charlie-angu...

There are more shocking things happening in this story, but FOURTEEN PERCENT of all Canadian households own an RV? www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/pe...

Found this on another platform. #CanadaStrong #ElbowsUp

Schoolchildren are routinely slaughtered by AR-15s. Hundreds die. [*crickets* "Thoughts and prayers" *crickets*] A couple unoccupied cars are set on fire. No one is hurt. ["THIS HORROR WILL NOT STAND!!! We MUST act to STOP it from ever happening AGAIN!!!!" We will pass new LAWS BANNING IT!!!]

the year is 2025: you're waiting to watch the president of the united states sign an executive order abolishing the department of education, while learned canadians are being advised not to travel here and wondering if your neighbors will be yanked off the street by masked government thugs.

Literally a conversation today about whether there are ICE facilities at Ottawa airport, who has jurisdiction on the post-clearance airside area, and whether the Canadian govt would get you back if you disappeared inside the US part of a Canadian airport. So it's going great here

I've been screaming it for years: the right in Canada is headed down an American-style path on almost every issue because the right-wing media plays that tune, and the right-wing pretend media plays that tune. It's headed in one direction, and we have never had a clearer view of where that leads.

My meeting with the Council on Canada-U.S. Relations was focused on keeping Canada’s economy strong in the face of unjust tariffs.   We’re ready to engage with the U.S. on a comprehensive negotiation — when Canada is shown respect as a sovereign nation.

No more talk of joining No more talk of 51st State No more talk of "Governor" No more talk of annexation No more talk of "tariff abuser" No more "one of the nastiest countries" Can Trump actually talk without lying and showing disrespect? No. So let's just focus on Europe and the rest of the world.

I've watched the part of trump's Fox interview about Canada, and it's the most deranged incoherent thing I've ever seen from a head of government. The best part is when he says that "Canada charges tremendous... tremendous" which must be a new type of levy, the "tremendous"

Cautiously optimistic that we’re actually taking this seriously and creating new & meaningful partnerships.

Breaking News: A draft deal between Canada and the European Union would bolster defense cooperation at a time when the country’s ties with the U.S. are fraying.

Wondering how things are going up here 🇨🇦? : A woman in her 60s at my gym told me she reached out to the military to ask how she could contribute to keeping Canada safe from the US. Friends talking about possible roles in a defense, parents wanting to volunteer so their kids never have to. #elbowsup

This should be the end of every discretionary trip to the States by Canadians & every other national.

The Department of Defense deemed a story about baseball hero and civil rights leader Jackie Robinson's time in the Army as "DEI" and deleted it.

"This won't help address traffic, and we know it'll make our roads more dangerous for people and make it so that fewer people will choose to ride a bike," said Michael Longfield, executive director of Cycle Toronto. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
