NEW: In 2019, it was the Ford government that tabled regulations to introduce automated speed enforcement cameras in Ontario's cities. Now, six years later, it's looking to reverse the policy. #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1144101...

Republicans Distract From Epstein Controversy By Each Sharing Most Embarrassing Moment Of Life https://theonion.com/republicans-distract-from-epstein-controversy-by-each-sharing-most-embarrassing-moment-of-life/

I just can’t believe the Ontario PC’s could have had a criminal in their caucus

this is absolutely wild the court *sua sponte* dismisses the case for violating Rule 8(a) so that means the court, all on its own, looked at the complaint and said it's too long, too scattershot, too arbitrary to even count as a complaint. *never* seen this happen to a private party with counsel.

A Vancouver-based crypto exchange — Cryptomus — traded millions of dollars with a sanctioned Russian platform according to analysts. And that platform has been linked to cybercriminals. Find out more from our reporter Zak Vescera. #bcpoli #cdnpoli #cryptocurrency

#StarExclusive: Tesla used an automated system to make a run on the bank of Canada’s dwindling EV subsidies, outmanoeuvring Canadian dealerships that filed claims manually and were left short millions of dollars, the Star has learned.

I talked to CBC yesterday about the importance and responsibilities of comedians and journalists, and the differences that lie therein (and got quoted in the same piece as John Oliver, which is always nice!). www.cbc.ca/news/world/j...

it's also really important to spread the "this is illegal" message as far as you can because the majority of people are not exposed to it! most people do not even know the government is doing the illegal thing it's doing, let alone that it's illegal. when they learn about it they get mad!

unlocked this post because as more is uncovered in the ballmer/aspiration/kawhi mess the more the original premise remains: assuming billionaires are intellectually and morally superior is very dumb, and we should knock it off

We have reached a stage in the Orbanization of the American media that big companies with vital interests before the government will have to consider getting out of the news and current affairs business. To stay in you have to pretend that you're free— when you're not. www.cnn.com/2025/09/18/m...

Trump Spends Entire U.K. Trip Trying To Figure Out Where He Knows Prince Andrew From

i just know we're all going to have to sit through a three minute clip of joe rogan saying "i can't believe censorship is happening"

Don’t have money to get me a wedding gift? Get me to 10k followers. Come on, I know you follow far worse accounts than me.

There’s a nod to what it means to be afraid of your political opponents, and sure, look for our shared humanity. But this clip fundamentally fails to grapple with what is happening on the right before and since Kirk was killed. “Disagreeing in the way we disagree” is on the road to Orbanism.

Imagine if Canadian taxpayer dollars were spent on improving access to quality healthcare and education services instead of paying for the campaign promises Doug made to guests at his kids’ stag n does.

Ford believes Carney will designate his Timmie's egg sammie as ‘national interest’ project

If I ran for the Ontario Liberal leadership and won and then we won the next provincial election my first act as Premier would be to pass legislation forbidding Ontario MPPs from using the power and resources of their office to sell Tim Hortons products.

[Ottawa, ON] Great panel w/ Andrew Boozary MD & ‪ @namshine.bsky.social talking about this smart #ModularHousing project in #Parkdale w/ @uhn.ca , #FredVictorTO & @toronto.ca at #AMO2025 -- "Innovative Approaches to Supporting Mental Health & #SupportiveHousing"...

Downsizing my record collection. I think I’ll hang on to this gem from 1979. Happy #FlashbackFriday.

A Russian plane landed at Toronto’s Lester B. Pearson airport in 2022 and has remained there since—but why? We delved into the three-year legal battle around the plane, the Canadian government’s attempts to seize it and what it says about Western sanctions against Russia.

Nova Scotia’s forest ban is a litmus test on whether you understand the founding principles of Canada and its constitution. The usual suspects are, of course, failing it badly. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/08/07/o...

$2T in taxes to partially offset $5T in tax cuts?

This is why Republicans are refusing to expose themselves to their voters and stopped doing town halls People are pissed

Shout out John Tory

I disagree. I will tell you what's wrong with his jeans. 🧵

Years before Doug Ford announced his Highway 401 tunnel plan, it appears to have been sparked by bids from private companies. #Onpoli This is the government's summary of what they said: globalnews.ca/news/1131543...

The Washington Post continues to lose its best reporters.

The price of food across the United States expected to skyrocket due to Donald Trump’s failed government & regressive Trumponomics . At 3%, the cost of food is rising faster than the overall inflation rate. Meats, poultry, fish and eggs rose in price by 5.6% (egg prices alone rose 27.3%). #3E

Arriving in Toronto and demanding an audience with Tim Horton

For My Canadian AND US friends 🇨🇦🇺🇸🤞 👇Doug Ford the "Premier" of Ontario and his buddy the 🍊💩 'Trump and Ford taking the ECON 101 exam at the local community college' Thanks @tdotresident.bsky.social Scary and funny all at the same time... Like a weird Nightmare... I'd rather laugh! 😂😂

The whole decision is great. The court even takes a kick at the Board of Trade which debased its history of rigorous good governance reports by carrying water for Ford’s backwards plans like the 401 tunnel & removing bike lanes. They’ve covered themselves in bullshit too.

When I pitched #TVOTheThread I wanted to create a platform where Ontarians spoke for themselves. To ask questions with curiosity & to listen to understand instead of responding. In a week, this clip has been viewed more than 500k & just one comment has over 1k likes. Thank you for all the support 🙏

One of the most interesting trades since the Fritz Peterson/Mike Kekich swap.

If a group of small businesses and states are successful in throwing out President Trump’s tariffs in a federal appellate court on Thursday, it would mean many of his most prominent economic efforts from his second term so far would be moot.

still on Scotland time

Trump is fighting for his life to stay awake during this roundtable event

I like political leaders who aren’t mobbed up dimwits whos with me

Here's the very disturbing part of this The timing and Trump's knowledge: Year 2000: Epstein-Maxwell "took" Virginia Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago 2002: Trump said most infamous line about Epstein being a "terrific" friend and liking "younger" ones Only in 2004: Trump rupture with Epstein

With one-third of global reserves, Saskatchewan is the Saudi Arabia of potash. That dominance is clear in the United States, where farmers rely on Canada for nearly 80 percent of their supply. Eric Cline argues it’s time Canada used potash for economic leverage. thewalrus.ca/potash-companies...

“It’s become very clear that the free market no longer works as it should when it comes to housing. At the end of the day, landlords would rather have an apartment sit empty than give someone a break. More social housing and stronger rent controls are needed. This is not the time for laissez-faire.”
