Meanwhile the TDSB switched back to merit based admissions for specialized programs leaving 10-13yo less than 6 percent weeks to prepare for test, audition or portfolio. When asked about the unnecessary stress, numerous TDSB staff said: everyone is dealing with the same 🫠

"A distracted pedestrian might cause a minor inconvenience. A distracted driver, enabled by street design that encourages high speeds, can end a life. To treat these as equivalent is to ignore the fundamental physics of power and force." -Lanrick Bennett

🎉🎉🎉 Mamdani!!! Congratulations New York 🥰

Bold Claims Need Strong Evidence. No, Not That Evidence.

One of the most satisfying and also nerve wrecking things I’ve done 😅

You got to be a massive asshole to accuse 🇨🇦 of lying by telling a lie. POTUS is so detached from reality, that I’m literally defending a DoFo add here 🙃

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

The government who brought you a 14+ year Crosstown LRT project has decided yesterday that giving 13yos 21 days to put together an application to specialized programs is reasonable. Anyone here think Ford, Calandra or Rohit Gupta could deliver a portfolio in 3 weeks? #TDSB #art #STEM

Toronto, good news! Next year you’ll get another chance to say a big NOPE 👎 to this self centred politician, who for years has chosen to ignore constituents’ emails and calls. Last time he got 1.2% of the vote, let’s aim to lower it further!!! #TOpoli

I am able to maintain clean air in my home and work space. This had a huge positive impact on my family’s health, both protecting us from COVID for the last 5 years, but also in managing the effects wild fire smoke of the last few summers. Why can’t we have this in workspace and schools?

I know three people who have been hit by drivers within 1km of this intersection, on this road. In Mississauga at least 1 person is sacrificed every month to maintain the status quo, which will happen indefinitely.

“AI” isn’t a tool or technology or even a cluster of technologies with a misleading name. It’s the infrastructure at the foundation of a form of capitalism dependent on data brokering. We should be teaching our students about this and not teaching them about “responsible” use.

So now that we know it’s Tylenol, everyone will get two doses of MMR, right? 🙃

This morning driver failed to stop at 🛑 in front of a school, didn’t have their licence on them, cop let them off with a warning. No transit user or cyclist would get this lenient a treatment ever, though their crime doesn’t usually endanger school aged kids 🤷🏻‍♀️

The way institutions are bending over backwards to placate right-wing outrage—firing people for being honest about Charlie Kirk—is a reminder that one of the key tools the political Right uses to get its way is the implied threat of violence/force.

More of this please!!! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I spent a week in Iceland recently, it was amazing, but the think that absolutely blew my mind was the co2 readings inside their busy buildings. We need clean energy to have clean air! Covid and climate action are forever linked and our children’s future depends on it. #cleanAir #climateaction

My city councillor is a fucking joke of a human being! A few blocks away my neighbours and I often don’t bother locking our door, and our baseball equipment is safely stashed in our shed. Fear mongering is soooo lame! 😒 #TOpoli #BEY

Smaller class sizes made all the difference for my kids in primary school, but even then it’s hard to meet everyone’s needs. Thanks to #ETFO for their #SmallerClasses campaign, so important in ensuring the success of our kids & supporting public education. #onted app.sosha.ai/s/6pMeQ5jO

Today BMO call center employee tried to assign me a binary gender based on the sound of my voice, and when that didn’t fit their preconceptions they hung up. Canadian financial institutions, it’s 2025, the bar is a little higher than what you’re aiming for.

“I absolutely disagree with Carney that the economy and market forces need to be used because the economy itself is driving us into the ditch. It’s based on the creed of cancer — steady growth — and you can’t have endless growth in a finite world.”

Y’all know we elected a banker, right?

Toronto’s #visionZero means literally nothing, city has only hopes and prayers that fewer pedestrians and cyclists will die. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Don’t think you’re safe because you are playing by their rules, no one is safe in an authoritarian state

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention. 🎥: Time, 💬 Greta Thunberg

Imagine kidnapping people off the street in broad daylight and thinking you're the "good guys". People who are at work, at their kids' school or otherwise minding their business. Imagine shooting people with rubber bullets because they want it to stop and thinking you're the "good guys". 🤔😑

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

After devastating election, the NDP learned nothing. The strategy seems to be dig yourself deeper into the hole and drive Canada closer to a two party system 😳

Privatization means cutting services to non urban dwellers. It’s a service, it shouldn’t be run as a corporation.

WTAF is wrong with Bonnie Henry? The MMR vaccine is incredibly effective and safe, it’s has been around for 50+ years. If you are not pro this vaccine now, then you are antivax.

After my post on vaccinating my children when they were babies, I got asked to have ‘nuanced’ convos with antivaxxers. No. I’m not platforming lies that led to the drop in vaccines, sick children with lifelong impacts and dead children. Vaccines save lives and protect health. Period.

This is true. And even if you think this ISN’T the particular problem your city has, it’s always a safe bet that adding more car lanes still won’t solve whatever you think your problem is.

Sooooooo…the MAHA report was written by AI and had all sorts of insane hallucinations, including completely fabricated studies and data?!!! And NO ONE FACTCHECKED ANYTHING???? This is apparently the ‘good science’ we were promised. Made up bullshit that is used to form batshit crazy policy.

Grade 3-4 kids are now given chrome books and have access to this during school hours. When I tried to bring up this issue with teachers and principal they said the accounts are age restricted, they were not. Major lack of knowledge and understanding of the technology available in the classroom

I feel like I’m saying goodbye to an old friend, somehow got to the bottom of this Costco sized bottle 😅

Couldn’t possibly die quickly enough!!!

We have to decide on a high school in a year, and vax rates will be a factor, because illness doesn’t benefit learning.

No one should die from measles!!! Not even people with 🪱🧠 We don’t have a treatment but the vaccine in incredibly effective in preventing illness.

CDC reports 216 child deaths this flu season—most in 15 years Measles surpasses 1000 cases—first time in 30 years USA has the lowest life expectancy & highest infant & maternal mortality of any developed nation on Earth This is what RFK + the for profit health scam industry has wrought us. Smh

The way progressive White folks keep ignoring that most Black folks lived under authoritarianism HERE from the early 1500s to the 1970s in parts of this country & instead reach to Germany to describe our current situation is deep— Do y’all not know the Nazis modeled their system on Jim Crow HERE?

After paying Poilievre’s salary for 20 years and eventually his very handsome pension too, now we’re paying twice in a matter of months for elections to help him keep his job. Pierre was right when he told Jordan Peterson that we’re the stupid ones.

WINNIPEG – The Assembly of First Nations is joining calls for Hudson’s Bay to immediately halt the sale of artifacts and return any cultural, ceremonial and sacred items to the Indigenous communities that they belong to.

This is Canada — and we decide what happens here.

We crossed quite the tragic landmark on Measles cases in Ontario this week: 1000 cases in this outbreak. I thought my clinical experience 🌍 was unique & that I’d never have to see measles cases in Canada, where it was previously eliminated. Now this lethal childhood disease seems has a foothold.

What’s everyone up to today? Making pancakes with the kids and then we’re going to go vote! www.elections.ca/Scripts/vis/...

I don’t know if I should panic about how catastrophically wrong this could go or just laugh thinking of the massive turd Musk will deliver as a prototype for this service 🙃

It will take years post trump to revert to the pre trump level of mistrust I had towards American authorities.

So by paying our taxes, we pay for a Central American dictator who runs the 116th-richest nation in the world to build five more supermax concentration camps slated to be filled with our countrymen and wholly innocent legal permanent residents of the United States? Is that right?
