This is a painful read. I mean seriously painful. But it’s also a must-read, and must-share, for everyone.

This means it's working. It's efficient. There is a whole cohort of people who will make political currency out of blowing up things that work. What a bloody moment in history. (see: vaccines)

Trump’s Attacks on the #Climate are an Opportunity for Canada. The US was never really a clean #energy leader. Will Canada will seize this moment or maintain its position as the world’s fourth biggest producer of oil while running a few #wind farms on the side thewalrus.ca/trumps-attac...

A bus isn’t charity, it’s concrete infrastructure that expands the reach of your feet.

US campaign entices Canada tourists: “Come visit America and also maybe El Salvador!”

The case for proportional representation is undeniable. CTV reports on how our democracy distorting voting system fuels regional divisions, and how proportional representation can fix it. @mark-carney.bsky.social, will you champion a system where every vote truly counts? #cdnpoli

Tell Prime Minister Mark Carney that we need proportional representation to make every vote count!: you.leadnow.ca/petitions/pr...?

Canada should be getting rid of the tariffs on Chinese EVS and thinking about what the future of our Auto sector looks like partnering with countries that aren't America

Succinctly: it will never make (environmental, cost, safety, space efficient) sense to move a 140lb person in a 3 ton vehicle.

One of Mark Carney's first priorities should be depolarizing our politics and protecting us from foreign-funded disinformation and other deliberate attempts at division. The best way to do that? Electoral reform. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/30/o...

The "Freedom ain't free" crowd equates driving with freedom but somehow isn't willing to pay a small price to do it

🚨 The petition to save the CBC at ProtectTheCBC.ca is quickly approaching 90,000 signatures! Canadians are speaking out against Pierre Poilievre’s dangerous plan to shut down the CBC if he’s elected on Monday. If you haven’t signed yet, add your name today and stand up for public broadcasting. ✍️🇨🇦

The company getting hundreds of millions from Doug Ford to turn Ontario Space into a parking lot (and luxury spa) lied about their work and defrauded taxpayers. Stop the Therme scam! action.eko.org/a/stop-the-t...

I’m founding a new ideology. It’s called “obviousism.” The tenants are: Homeless people need homes Sick people need medicine Hungry people need food Etc.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs less to house people.

Next week! The candidates running to represent Guelph in the federal election will speak at a public All Candidates Meeting, hosted by the Guelph Wellington Coalition for Social Justice. 📌 Reminder: This meeting is for the Guelph riding, not the new Wellington–Halton Hills North riding.

IMPORTANT: A major disinformation network of X accounts is targeting Canada ahead of the Federal election. “The accounts are pumping out thousands of posts about the Canadian economy and alleged support within Canada for U.S. President Donald Trump’s annexation threat.” thelogic.co/news/canada-...

Thanks for having me on @davidmoscrop.com Ontario is facing a lot of challenges but we also have a lot of people dedicated to making it a better place. Tune in as we talk housing, climate, and more, and working across party lines to get things done for the people of Ontario.

I say this every time de-extinction comes up: it makes no sense to devote science to bringing back extinct animals when we can’t be bothered to keep extant ones alive in the first place.

They really have to put it in these terms huh

“Rippers, whether on the right or left, see politics as war. They don’t care about the destruction that’s caused as they fight for power. Weavers are their opposite: people who try to fix things, who want to bring people together and try to build consensus.” www.biblioasis.com/shop/new-rel...

Trump wants Poilievre to win. He knows Canadians hate him and he thinks if he distances himself from Poilievre and is nicer to Carney, that will help Poilievre win. I really hope Canadians don't fall for this 4th-grade-level attempt at manipulation.

Spread the word — 'Critical Mass' people on bikes to protest bike-lane removals in Toronto today. “Cycling advocates against the removal of Toronto bike-lanes will be meeting at Bloor Street West and Spadina Avenue this evening.” Via @torontotoday.ca #Toronto

Only 6.6% of countries are full democracies. Canada is one of them. That's something to be proud of. Something worth fighting for. *Data comes from a division of The Economist. The report is interesting reading if you're worried about the state of modern politics.

No Farms, No Food: The Hidden Toll of #Highway413 At a time when U.S. tariffs pose a threat to Ontario’s food supply, preserving our farmland needs to be a top priority. Our joint op-ed with @fonddavidsuzuki.bsky.social and NFU-Ontario 👇 www.thespec.com/opinion/cont...

Documents unearthed as part of a legal challenge show the Doug Ford government received expert evidence that planned bike lane removals could worsen traffic congestion in Toronto and lead to injuries. #BikeTO #ToPoli #OnPoli

"The answer to a politics of scarcity is a politics of abundance; a politics that asks what it is that people really need and then organizes government to make sure there is enough of it.” @ezraklein.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/video/opinio...

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

Can’t believe Twitter keeps crashing despite Elon hiring the best 19-year-old interns that racism has to offer

MORE! Anderson Cooper: So it's more expensive to allow a chronically homeless person to live on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them? Answer: Yes, we are paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street & do nothing… www.cbsnews.com/news/100000-...

We’re not failing to eliminate homelessness because it’s too expensive, because it’s actually cheaper to house people than let them continue unhoused

Imagine your car becoming so hated that owners are like "please let them think I'm driving a Buick!"

Over 1,000 Canadians wrote personal letters to the Liberal leader candidates about basic income. Non-liberals, liberals, workers, business owners, students, seniors, doctors, artists, AI experts, workers replaced by AI. Here are a few of them. 🧵

Interesting day for Governor Trump, governor of the great 48th province of Russia.

The Trump budget has passed in the House of Representatives: 💸$4.5 trillion in tax cuts to the top 1% + corporations 🪖more money for war + mass deportations 🚑$2 trillion in cuts to programs like Medicaid + food stamps This is a massive transfer of wealth from the poor to the uber-elite.

Signs of a livable neighborhood: Bike racks outside the corner store and neighborhood cafe look like this on a weekday afternoon…

Wild postings in Toronto last Spring. Amazing to see community putting these up all over.

Employee of month…

It's remarkable how quiet a city becomes for those hours that Mother Nature forces its car lane network to experience the "connectivity challenges", that its bike lane network experiences daily. #HamOnt #SnowStorm
