Half of business owners on this Toronto street estimated that more than 25% of their customers arrived by car. In fact, it was 4%. And the % of customers who who walked or cycled? 72%. Retailers routinely overestimate the # of “car customers.” Via @carltonreid.com www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

“Tackling health misinformation + rebuilding public trust are top priorities for Canada's incoming chief public health officer Dr. Joss Reimer.” Stopping infectious diseases requires an assault on antivaxxer misinformation. Hope Dr. Reimer will do that. #CPHO ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/cp-news...

I hope that rural voters will appreciate the bars being open Sunday morning while their local ER remains closed.

Heather, from the sound of it, is a military spouse. Having lived this with my veteran, I understand where she is coming from. The military requires a member to work for less than the equivelent RCMP rank (+ RCMP gets overtime) and in a two income household world... #cdnpoli

And there it is. In the USA, men hate (fear) women so much that allowing them to have medical control of their own body (because you can die from pregnancy) means they should die? No wonder women are a) leaving the USA or b) getting sterilized. Come to Canada! #cdnpoli #uspoli

NEW: When Biden was president, the Supreme Court eagerly embraced the "major questions doctrine" to rein in presidential power, but when it came to Trump's tariffs the theory only got three votes. What happened? 👇 www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Big news. My daughter and her partner are volunteer fire fighters in interior BC. Things are starting to change, and it really needed to happen. Like quickly.

On Feb. 20, 1959, the Avro Arrow program was cancelled by the Diefenbaker government. Thousands of people lost their jobs, and the Canadian aeronautical and aviation sector was decimated. The day became known as Black Friday. This is the story of the Arrow. 🧵 1/12

McConnell reacts to Trump’s tariffs going down: “isn’t just bad policy, it’s also illegal”

So many jobs online right now for instructional designers, teachers, and educational technologists to come and work at AI companies to create K-12 lesson plans so business can suck the financial marrow out of public education and destroy the pleasure of learning for students. #AICrap #cdnpoli

Wait, if US judges are counting on the Justice Department to be honest about the relevant law, that seems like a pretty straight path to wrong decisions…

Sue Open AI to the white meat and then keep going until they're bankrupt.

www.cbc.ca/news/busines... Good. Small fine but significant event

The Tumbler Ridge shooter had used OpenAI to discuss scenarios involving gun violence. It was bad enough to get flagged and reviewed by employees, who warned the company & suggested alerting law enforcement. The company said No. This tragedy could have been prevented. Gut wrenching.

Just read @emmettmacfarlane.com newest email. Very good, clear piece on Smith and Alberta. “Because as with all far-right populists, Smith’s agenda is as much about sowing division and hate, and about her own inept failures and lack of vision, as it is about serious constitutional reform.”

No class in the GOP.

This should remind you of *exactly* what the UCP are doing in Alberta -- abandoning federal programs just so they can spend obscene amounts of money to simply duplicate them all over again.

Turns out there’s an economic cost to everyone hating us.

Immigrants are not Alberta’s problem. They’re here legally. They’re the ones serving you coffee at Timmies. Populist governments need a scapegoat, an “out-group”. For Hitler it was Jews, for Trump it’s Latinos. It’s an un-Canadian and deplorable political strategy. #ableg

I truly feel sorry for every American smart enough to realize that this makes the United States look like the dumbest nation on the planet.

Absolutely batshit. Dangerous fucking batshit.

BREAKING: ‘Shock and awe’ at DNR: Wildlife division gone, managers sacked, and restructured department geared for natural resources exploitation and extraction reported by @joanbaxter.bsky.social

Re-upping this because that was some bullshit from the premier. She’s going to use the next 6 months to convince Albertans that immigrants are bad.

Unrelated but this evocative scene could have been my grandma's house/neighbourhood (digby neck). Clapboard house? check Vestigual outhouse? check Chunks of bedrock emerging thru scrub lawn? check Just missing the round well head somewheres. Keep those museums open. So much to Sea etc.

The UCP has been in power for 51 of the last 55 years but according to Danielle Smith it's the family who arrived six months ago that is wrecking the province.

Poli Sci prof Duane Bratt spelled it out last night to a Red Deer audience about the cost of separation. UCP govt is using separation to distract from serious issues in health care, education, coal mining, and more.

I think Canada should nationalize the administration and management of its public healthcare model. #canada 🇨🇦

U.S. legal scholars baffled as Prince Andrew arrested for Epstein ties, Korean president sentenced for insurrection

Yep. Toronto knows the real Doug because he didn't have staff to filter & protect him when he was a city councillor. E.g. his comments about a home for disabled youth in Etobicoke, "My heart goes out to kids with autism. But no one told me they'd be leaving the house." tinyurl.com/5x6ss7uu

Historian of Canadian immigration here, absolutely DYING at the idea of some large "Judeo-Christian" (wtf) solidarity animating the colonization and settlement of Canadian. And then the idea that the process "worked so well...!"

The first senior Royal arrested since the 1600s (Charles I; executed) has been arrested, and it's ex-prince Andrew—apparently over leaking confidential government information to Epstein. And allegations emerged today that Kathy Ruemmler did the same thing as White House Counsel.

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

Rep. Stephen Lynch: "It offers a great contrast. Look what the British government is doing in light of the evidence, and look what the US government is doing. Nothing. Our chief law enforcement officer Pam Bondi is defending and obstructing the investigation."

“No matter how often Trump insists his tariffs are taxing foreigners to enrich the U.S., economic studies keep showing that Americans actually pay the bill. In an analysis on the bank’s website, researchers write that “nearly 90% of the tariffs’ economic burden fell on U.S. firms & consumers.”

The funny thing is Doug Ford says students shouldn't take basket weaving but his inherited wealth comes from making stickers.

www.cbc.ca/news/livesto... Please be aware that he is being arrested for misusing his position as a representative of Britian to provide the equivelent of "insider information" to Epstein. This arrest is for corruption, not pedophelia. But once they start investigating? #cdnpoli #britpoli

What I am waiting for is 2026 first quarter profit statements from Loblaws, Sobeys, and Metro. There is a relationship between consumer affordability and shareholder profit. We need diversification in the grocery sector—more independent and international grocers—to break the grip of monopolies. 1/
