A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

"At least nine people were killed by police in December 2025. This means that at least 94 people were killed by cops this year." mediacoop.ca/node/119334 #cdnpoli

Honest to god, what is it going to take to get political / governmental accounts in Canada to stop using this deranged website? Other countries are launching criminal investigations into X, Canadian officials / political staffers seem more worried about their social media engagement metrics tanking

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.

uh holy SHIT?

Cleve Jones gave a riveting, rousing speech at San Francisco's No Kings rally yesterday, and he's graciously allowing me to publish it. He began: "The pronouns I use the most are the ones probably understood the least by those in the White House today. They are WE, US and OURS."

#NoKings Miami!

'Ultimately, the crackdown on solidarity with #Palestinians reveals a profound crisis, not only of human rights in the occupied territories but of freedom itself, in societies that claim to be democratic.' www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Oof

Promoting an event? Don't just put the date, include the day of the week. Makes a big difference for me when I am planning. Anyone else feel this way? Is it just ADHD brain?

Jokes, but for real

Just like Francis attacking minor costs in the city budget that have negligible impacts on the tax rate (but high culture war impacts) while ignoring the largest municipal budget impact, policing. Hypocrites.

But trustee milkshakes!!!!

The place everyone hates

Hamilton police would do this during bike week annually.

Golly, I took one wrong turn and it's "survive"? :) - Great bunch of upper-year McMaster undergrads again at the Semester in Residence program, we all made it out of the woods.

Long overdue

Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each. Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply — even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture. Read @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social's award-winning investigation:

Interesting that CN's PR damage control in @thespec1846.bsky.social only mentions "noise", and drops mention of their (carcinogenic) "odours". @mayorandreahorwath.bsky.social @cameronkroetsch.bsky.social www.thespec.com/opinion/cont...

This downloading of housing costs, was not the case, until Mike Harris government in the 1990s.

Little aggressive driving just now on Dundurn, guy drove south in the northbound lane then cut into the southbound traffic. @hamiltonpolice.bsky.social

Some people will say you need to fix road design rather than rely on enforcement. I think you need to do that too, yes. But Doug Ford is also the one trying to ban any loss of road space for cars to bikes! Most people against speed enforcement also oppose road redesigns.

I love being subjected to a government run by three Vaughan businessmen in a trenchcoat.

It's almost like calling the movement "defund the police" was a tactical error.

One thing this era is teaching us is that people of principle are few and far between. Hollywood has not reacted like the Kimmel thing is existential for artists, to its grave peril. Good for her.

Carney switches gears on pharmacare www.healthcoalition.ca/carney-switc...

Always a question when residents take time to engage, will it make a difference?

This, from @shawnmicallef.bsky.social is an absolute scorcher. I feel and share the rage. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Signage seems to be, largely, what distinguishes a Bicycle Boulevard from a regular street in #HamOnt. But in Montreal they're seriously different.👇

Reminder to the people voting in the Battle River Crowfoot by-election today that Pierre Poilievre is spelled BONNIE CRITCHLEY.

🔥🔥WATCH: “Rappers are smarter than economists”👇🏽 @dossdiscourse.bsky.social explains more cops doesn’t lower crime it just means more money for private prisons— Addressing poverty/hunger/health care lowers crime… but Trump’s trillions transfer just made all that MUCH WORSE… meaning crime will rise.

So this happened in New York City. Just sharing information, like sports and weather.

“We’ve been designing downtowns to virtually repel children, & then saying, ‘See, families don’t want to live downtown,’” @brenttoderian.bsky.social says. “We’ve been creating the perfect self-fulfilling prophecy.” I’m interviewed in this. Design urban places for kids & families. You’ll get them.

While ignoring the cause (Climate change)

Interesting how all of #HamOnt's top pay earners are cops. Thats very unusual.

An important read with lessons from history that are worth adapting now. (My grandparents were in the Danish resistance, as couriers and distributers of radio parts to armed resistance members.)

Since 1995 DC has seen a 62% decline in violent crime & a 54% decline in property crime.

1. Ask City to install traffic light 2. Hear traffic engineer explain why it “isn’t warranted” (not enough people using it) 3. Someone (or someone ELSE) is killed there 4. Traffic light finally installed What @dylanreid.bsky.social calls the “Pedestrian Blood Sacrifice” in @spacing.bsky.social.

Some key takeaways from the Ontario Court decision ruling that Ford's plan to rip out 3 major Toronto bike lanes is unconstitutional because it would "put people at increased risk of harm and death, which engages the right to life and security of the person." 👇

"In the US, there's a rape every 68 seconds, a woman is beaten by an intimate partner every 9 seconds, and about 2000 women are murdered by men every year, and while more men are murdered annually than women, the majority of women murdered are murdered by partners or former partners."

Nice

Sol-Wah Power!!! We’re making history, with the first solar powered One NZ Warriors match. Another big step forward for sustainability in our city. 1600 panels on the roof at Go Media Stadium. Reducing emissions and saving money overtime. 60% power saving $150k a year.

Mayor Brandon Scott in Baltimore exemplifies why we need to fund communities and why social programs and services give society the best outcomes

Severe thunderstorm watch in effect for #HamOnt at 4:47pm EDT https://www.hamontalerts.com/d/urn:oid:2.49.0.1.124.3584075445.2025

Continuous sidewalks! A design that’s common in countries like Netherlands. We talked about it in Kitchener’s cycling & trails master plan working group & it’s great to see it become a part of road reconstruction! A model for other cities to emulate! (Both the working group approach & the design)

I understand the allure of wanting to be a "carry guns and wear leather jackets" Black Panther but there's a case to be made that the most dangerous ones were the "feed kids breakfast and teach them about settler colonialism" Black Panthers

Happy Bloody Assizes day #HamOnt

Dundurn North at York Blvd reopens to traffic. #HamOnt
