@shoppersdrugmart.bsky.social Every time I hear, after checking myself out, “Tell us how we did today!” I want to hurl. I did fine, even when I needed to call over a staff to help with a glitch. That ridiculous ask for more of my time and data infuriates me. Thought you should know.

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

Nothing good in Toronto that Doug Ford won't try to ruin www.thestar.com/news/gta/dou...

From Marco Chown Oved and me: The Ford government has quietly killed Toronto’s green roof bylaw, a policy that propelled the city to become a world leader in environmental construction www.thestar.com/news/gta/dou...

Every time it played I so angry as my tax dollars went to this sunshine and rainbows message repeatedly! Imagine if he invested our money in clean water, education and health care.

Holy hot #CupOfJoe! Dr. Chheda has some things to say to healthcare workers who support this regime. Steamy!

Hopefully the tide is turning. I saw my neighbors’ pumpkin this morning walking my dog, and it made me 😀. Republicans who did NOT vote for him and attended a 🚫👑 rally on 10/18. My dog, their pumpkin.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

For blueskiers in the UK : "We call for a study to assess the impact of deregulation, the risk of land grabbing, the sharing of profits between the public and private sectors, ten-year tax breaks for businesses, the risk of greenwashing by fossil fuel companies, and areas of growth for digital AI."

Ford will not unlock housing by undermining tenants' security of tenure. This Bill is a new low that signals existential threats to every renter in Ontario. We need to go all out to stop it www.kristynwongtam.ca/stop-bill-60 #ONpoli #TorCen #Bill60

Ford has done nothing to fix Ontario’s broken ticket resale market: ⚾ World Series Tickets in 1993: $32 per ticket ⚾ World Series Tickets today: $2000 – $3000 per ticket in the upper levels. Enough is enough. Sign the petition demanding that Ford act NOW www.kristynwongtam.ca/fans-first #BlueJays

Fans are price-gouged because Ford broke the ticket resale market in 2019. He can act to fix it or keep sitting on his hands. Email Ford to demand action NOW: kristynwongtam.ca/fans-first #OnPoli

The young woman who led the charge for a landfill search to find the remains of her mother and another woman slain by a serial killer has been hired to work for the Manitoba government.

@breachmedia.ca on Ontario banning bike lanes "...more cyclists and pedestrians will be killed by cars, and more carbon emitted on our roads will intensify climate change. And traffic won’t even get better" breachmedia.ca/ontarios-plan-to-ban-bike-lanes-is-ripped-from-the-business-lobbys-wish-list/

Taking vocabulary directly from oil and gas messaging, Google calls point-source carbon capture at methane gas plants “clean, affordable, [and] reliable.” But CCS at methane gas (or coal) power plants has never been any of those things.

Doug Ford’s new omnibus bill hides a major gift to corporate lobbyists: a ban on turning car lanes into bike lanes. @desaima.bsky.social notes that the move mirrors demands from the Toronto Region Board of Trade. It won’t fix traffic—but it will keep oil companies and Uber happy.

Ford blames Jays playoff ticket gouging on asshole premier who scrapped Ticketmaster law in 2019

It's remarkable to me, that Ford did all of this KNOWING IT WOULD COME OUT, and yet HE STILL DID IT. It's the Greenbelt & Therme, on repeat, all the time.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.
