Oh shoot, I hadn't even gotten to the part of this *same bill* that would ban cities from "reducing the number of motor vehicle lanes when installing new bicycle lanes." bsky.app/profile/camb...

In particular, they want leases to no longer necessarily remain in effect indefinitely, so that landlords have more options for creating tenant turnover. Current situation in left-hand column, proposal on the right:

How does cutting the CRA’s budget help them answer more calls and more accurately? #QP

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Trump's DOJ just dropped a major antitrust case against American Express Travel. This comes after Amex hired lobbying firm Ballard Partners — the former employers of Pam Bondi — to lobby the DOJ on "antitrust issues." Funny how that works.

Sprawl Is Still Not the Answer: "Instead of promoting sprawl, increasing housing density in existing urban areas through infill development and upzoning can help address the housing shortage while minimizing environmental impacts." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This is why relying on charity to fund essential services is a truly wild policy choice.

"An NHS hospital that upgraded the type of face masks used by staff on Covid-19 wards recorded a dramatic fall of up to 100% in hospital-acquired coronavirus infections among those workers, research shows"

The murder of Jonathan Joss was a multiply hateful hate crime that included the murder of his dogs and attempted murder of his partner. His neighbor made it clear over a campaign of hatred for years that it wasn’t okay to be queer and/or indigenous in that neighborhood

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need: -Paid family leave -Equal pay -Universal childcare (But get your mom flowers, too)

Any person that wonders about Healthcare shortages Affordable housing High Utilities High Insurance costs Education shortages Etc. Are all under Provincial responsibility Facts matter

Ontario has many better choices to meet peak electricity demand than wasting $2.2 B on a dirty gas plant which will increase our vulnerability to attacks from President Trump. #cleanenergy #onpoli #phaseoutgas #energyefficiency www.cleanairalliance.org/simple-choice/

There’s still time to voice opposition to New York’s mask ban. Criminalizing a medical device will be devastating to disabled and marginalized individuals (not to mention anyone who values their health & wants to avoid covid infection). Mask bans don’t stop crime. They put lives in danger.

Another throwback - to when Poilievre violated election rules #cdnpoli #cdnmedia www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Pierre Poilievre won’t protect Canada from Donald Trump because he agrees with Trump. He is not what Canada needs.

CSIS alleges India organized support for Poilievre’s 2022 Conservative leadership bid

Poilievre was fact checked by CBC, he lied 😂😂

How piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre lied about not needing fresh security clearance. His decade-old clearance is way beyond its due date. www.cbc.ca/9.6697272

Italy has suspended the Starlink $1.6 billion purchase negotiations with SpaceX amid Musk being a Nazi and a Trump / Russia collaborator. Italy cites security concerns about the reliability of the US.

It may not be election interference per se but, it was asking for an advantageous stay in the tariff war to benefit PoiLIEvre. I do believe this will cost Skippy and Marlaina, in the end.

It’s not safe to go to the USA right now. There are travel warnings not to go there. People get detained at the border and can tell there is a privatized business with a quota to meet. The USA has potential to be listed as an autocracy next year.

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125. The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN. This is trickle down economics on steroids.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

"Cutting public media to save money" is like canceling the fire department to lower taxes—hope you like watching things burn! 🔥🤡 #SaveTheCBC

powerful detailed account of ICE captivity "To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me...Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Israel consulted with the US before launching massive air attacks on the Gaza Strip overnight, says White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt aje.io/5uls9d

Revoking degrees? Is an American University actually claiming they can do this? For free speech and protest? One of the most insane things I’ve heard in an increasingly insane United States Of America.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.  Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.  Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money. He was not dead.

Elon Musk claims "the leftists" are bad-mouthing his company. This isn't true. It's ordinary car buyers who are fed the fuck up.

Last year, US lawmakers argued that a social media platform owned by someone close to an autocratic leader can be used as propaganda. They were talking about TikTok. For Canada, these concerns apply equally to the app formerly known as Twitter. “That’s why it’s time to ban Twitter/X in Canada.”

Made my kids Pączkis for the first time. 7yo said “these are so good, they should have them at Tim Horton’s” 😂

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history! Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

A Canadian woman was kidnapped at the US border by CBP and ICE agents. She committed no crime or illegal crossing but was forcibly kidnapped and thrown into an ice concentration camp.

Just thinking about what the US looked like before the EPA existed

The orange turd started all of this. He’s used to bullying people into submission.
