Had a chance to meet @grcharania.bsky.social yesterday at L'Euguélionne bookstore for the launch of her book "Fighting Feelings: Lessons in Gendered Racism and Queer Life'.

Never forget, if you design a city for cars, it fails for everyone, including drivers. If you design a multi-modal city that makes walking, biking & public transit attractive options, it works better for everyone, including drivers. INCLUDING DRIVERS. The “war on cars” has always been a lie.

Everyone is hope scrolling now

Oh, and don't forget the transformation of its scarce rail infrastructure with virtually no passenger service (does it sound familiar, Canada?) into a fast, electrified suburban train line, Metrotren Nos, running every 8-12 minutes, with a second line now under construction involving a 3 km tunnel

I participated in the @handle.invalid TRAM study and am glad to see some preliminary results! Active transport is the way to go for healthier cities and to combat the climate crisis. youtu.be/mr9a7m7juZg?...

How many more brilliant and talented doctors and surgeons will we continue to lose until the culture of medicine stops being so toxic to clinicians? HT @picardonhealth.bsky.social cc @jillianhortonmd.bsky.social #HumanityInMedicine www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

I think it’s okay if we start using the word regime more often now.

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

Necessary tools from the bad old days (or: the smallest taste of why marriage equality matters.)

What’s interesting about this is it’s not as if Air Canada is favouring customers or shareholders when it abuses its employees. The stock has been dead in the water for years, and no comment on its customer service or ticket prices is necessary. It exists only to serve a handful of executives.

There's a more fulsome instruction guide on how to comment on the proposed standard at donoharmbc.ca/national-sta... Again, note that no other sector covered by the Z94.4 standard is attempting to undermine it in the way that IPAC managers are doing for healthcare. /6

They are treating people worse than mere numbers, not even bothering to track them once they’re in the system. Unacceptable.

"If you had made a decision not to vaccinate because measles was not circulating, that's no longer true. We don't have herd immunity."

New study finds that air filters in schools reduces the number of sick days kids take. Clean air works wonders. It’s egregious that we haven’t adopted it in all public places by now. It reduces risk of COVID & other viral infections, allergies, asthma and helps with pollution and wildfire smoke!

Remember when we told you abandoning disabled and immunocompromised people (while actively making more people disabled and immunocompromised) for a convenience-first “you do you” public health (eugenics) regime was actually just the first step? This is what we meant.

"(The insurance broker said) well, because of the number of claims that they had in the northeast last year, they are declining any policies with the T3J, T3N postal codes." The climate crisis is already here, it's just not evenly distributed.

Speaking of people’s clocks ticking, Pierre.

Canada won't have a trade deal with the EU if we don't have a climate plan What Poilievre is doing here is locking Canada into trade with Trump's US It will screw us for generations #cdnpoli

If you wondered whether PROOF was correct that Trump and Bukele are now in the international slave trade, here is breaking news revealing that Bukele wants to sell the 250 slaves Trump sold _him_ to Venezuela. Unreal. Vile. And a Crime Against Humanity.

Are you a journalist traveling to or from the US? CPJ’s new border safety advisory outlines advice for how to protect yourself digitally from the Trump regime. #3E cpj.org/2025/04/cpj-...

Did Pierre Poilievre say he would fire the Bank of Canada Governor if elected Prime Minister? Fact check: Yes, he said that in May 2022. #cdnpoli #canpoli financialpost.com/news/economy...

Poilievre kept repeating talking points, saying “vote for change”. HE’S BEEN IN PARLIAMENT FOR 20 YEARS! He was part of the Harper gov’t in power for a decade with the worst economic record, worst jobs growth since WWII. The highest trade deficits in Canadian history! That’s not change! #Debate2025

Pierre Poilievre admitting in the debate that he's going to suspend the Charter of Rights and Freedoms so he can defend the charter rights of the people he deems to be worthy should terrify everyone. Seeing what's happening in the US with ICE he wants the same thing in Canada

The Trump administration pays El Salvador President Nayib Bukele's government $6 million to house prisoners it sends to CECOT. That’s the prison where Kilmar Abrego Garcia is currently being held. If the US controls the purse strings, then don’t pay El Salvador until Abrego Garcia comes home.

ICYMI, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops sued the Trump Administration over their unlawful suspension of funding for the refugee admissions program. The USCCB is *not* a liberal organization. (Would love to hear J.D. Vance answer a question about this.) www.courtlistener.com/docket/69649...

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Absolutely shameful that CTV caved to a disingenuous right-wing pressure campaign instead of standing their ground. It presents even more red flags about the state of the media in Canada. @rachelgilmore.bsky.social did not deserve to be treated this way.

What happened to @rachelgilmore.bsky.social is not just about CTV caving to Conservative pressures. There’s a larger issue: #cdnmedia are pushing out any female voices, voices of colour and Indigenous voices that aren’t centre-right or right. Even then there is very little representation

Danielle Smith's govt in Alberta is "cost-saving" by eliminating food and drink for patients in hospital settings. Her latest cost saving measure is to take away popsicles, crackers, and ginger ale from children receiving cancer treatments. The effort they put into their cruelty is truly stunning.

My friend Dr. Joanne Liu, former international president of Doctors Without Borders, was cancelled at NYU. The vice-president in education asked to see her powerpoint, prior to her lecture. One slide showed the number of humanitarian workers who died in Gaza. NYU cancelled the event.

White House officials announce today the US government will no longer use the Signal app to share military intelligence among its leadership and will instead use Facebook Marketplace.

If I am informed about things then I will not be able to speak about those things in an uninformed manner so I must continue to be uninformed in order to keep Canadians informed about the things no one is telling me. This is just Conservative common sense.

Who did this?
