Until I did the questionnaire, I thought it was likely that Carney would put the brakes on jets on the island, but the wording is so incredibly revealing, making it clear they’re just trying to figure out how to sell it. The stink of this should stick to the federal Liberals as much as to Ford.

Some heroes don't wear capes

Let the feds know what you think of the ill-conceived proposal to bring jets and runway expansion to toronto‘s island airport Nobody voted for this, @mark-carney.bsky.social @juliedabrusin.bsky.social tc.canada.ca/en/corporate...

AMERICAN COMEDY: It’s funny because they “tell it like it is” but also there’s always an underlying optimism BRITISH COMEDY: It’s funny because it’s sardonic and pessimistic, but self-deprecating CANADIAN COMEDY: I have no fucking idea why this is funny but it’s the funniest thing I’ve ever seen

Entering month 6 of Mamdani's NYC & Robberies are down 11%, Retail theft is down 19%, & Murder is down 21%—all without "Adding 5000 new cops." Instead, he's invested in public safety free childcare, food, and better funded schools. Safer cities come from investing in people—not punishments.

I was just on the subway and the heat and a/c seem to both be on. (Car 6052)

My favourite place on the internet right now is the ravelry facebook group. It's huge, had a single admin who unfortunately passed away last year. Facebook has no process for assigning new admins and has a mix of political views, so it's just fibre art anarchy.

Was hanging up laundry to dry after airing out the house when it occurred to me that pretty much every household in generations past regularly used solar and wind power

This swap has been great so far. You can also experience the old internet where people learn and share their hobbies on ravelry if your hobby is knitting or crochet.

@namshine.bsky.social I’m really enjoying your podcast series and am learning a lot about gaps in women’s health in Canada. I’m wondering if you would consider adding breast cancer screening stemming from a badly run RCT in the 80s called the CNBSS. If so, I can introduce you to patients & experts.

Cities have been trying… Toronto can’t even install bike lanes or lead their own cost effective and on time transit expansion projects.

It's widely accepted that hantavirus transmits from rodent excreta to humans via inhalation of aerosolized virus, so I don't understand why we're so reluctant to acknowledge the inhalation route for human-to-human transmission. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/14/h...

Wild.

Time travel to when the internet was good.

It’s such an important book. Borrow it from the library, talk about it with your friends, gift it to a family member… Seriously, read it.

From 1970 to 1992, the Canada Fitness Award Program pushed Canadian youth to focus on health and fitness. An entire generation of Canadian children have memories (some good, some bad) of taking part in the program. This is the story. 📸 Reditt (ipini) 🧵 1/10

This thread is fascinating. Even if you’re isolating white sick it’s in your best interest to improve ventilation and filtration. Your own exhaled breath should not be re-inhaled.

Someone just complimented my dress and I said thank you but forgot to say the second part…. It has pockets!

The sprinklers are turned on in my local park and the ice cream truck just drove down my street. Guys, we made it. ☀️🍦

Bummer. Google is not longer returning the most convenient locations to buy specific items. I think it worked for me a few months ago... now instead of sending me to kensington market it suggested I drive to whitby.

This week marks the return of Open Streets season in Montreal, featuring some of the best pedestrian streets in North America. It’s a powerful example of what’s possible when we prioritize people over automobiles on even just a small fraction of our streets. 📍 Montreal 🇨🇦

We tolerate indoor air in 2026 that would have horrified sanitation engineers in 1926. We just don’t see what’s killing us.

I’m delighted to hear that this idea continues to spread! surreylibraries.ca/news/introdu...

Oh look at that. Libraries loaning out gadgets. So logical. So nice. Am looking forward to the day when ALL libraries can make sensible moves like this.

some dope earlier this week tried to gaslight people by saying the pushback on AI mirrors the pushback when the internet went mainstream and no it fucking does not! people were excited about the internet! ffs it wasn’t 100 years ago, a lot of us were THERE

A shame it’s raining today after such a nice sunny week.

I love it when bands or artists or writers I’ve loved for decades turn out to be awesome.

I got my bread-price-fixing settlement money today. What's everyone going to do with theirs? I'm going to spend it all on half a loaf of bread.

I started following an instagram account for Wernher Krutein, a photographer with decades of slide film archives. He befriended some kind hearted Gen Z’s who helped him create a modern digital site for his life’s work. www.instagram.com/verndawgtale...

I'm trying out some small CO2 monitors for an upcoming experiment. Aranet4 $190, Inkbird Plus $43, Vitalight $40, Airspot $163 (received free) agree, but I need to try at higher levels. NDIR sensors are good to within 50 ppm. Tradeoffs: price, size, battery life, connectivity.

This graph shows two things, 1) obviously that the cameras reduced speeding, but 2) that the improvement kept getting better over time. Speeders tend to get one or two tickets and then learn and change their behaviour. This isn't a cash grab, it's an extremely useful intervention.

The City of Ottawa posted the raw speed data from before and after Doug Ford banned speed cameras and the effect is so obvious it's not even necessary put a line marking when that happened. This chart shows the percentage of drivers going 15km/h or more over the posted limit.

Thanks, Cheryl, really instructive - pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Railpath Bloor overpass is open for the first time in years. You can cross Bloor but then must take the stairs down at the north side. Progress and much safer and faster crossing at Bloor for pedestrians!

Hey guys...something cool is happening. The Andes virus discussion is scientific consensus evolving in public. A statement from the International Hantavirus Society and dozens of hantavirus researchers is a great example of science communication in motion. 🧵

This is so nice to see. ❤️❤️

Sharing for west end #biketo, #railpath and #walkto enthusiasts. See you there!

Pals just being pals after a win is so nice.

Reminder there is not a single study proving droplet transmission. Not one.

Someone put up a new sign at the base of the railpath but all the arrows are off by 45-90 degrees. Wayfinding fail.

My Canadian podcast just had ads for a US hospital which seems weird.

“We demonstrate herein that the short-range airborne sub-route may be most common”

Mechanistically it makes sense that infecting lungs by infected lungs is always by an airborne route. It’s good that these proofs are being developed but ideally we would start to clean the air sooner than later.

can't imagine whoever made this chart would sit very confidently in the room of someone who has noro and is puking even if they happen to not touch anything with their hands 🙃

There’s an Instagram trend where people wear and post a different handmade outfit every day of May and it really seems at odds with the slowness and reduction in consumerism of making your own clothes.

Today NoJetsTO is launching a Federal E-Petition! Sponsored by @elizabethemay.bsky.social, it calls for the government of Canada to say no to jets at the island airport and save our waterfront! Sign now: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #topoli #onpoli #cdnpoli

Once you don’t have your dog on walks with you, you realize no one really likes you.

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

Covid exposed the fact that we lean into socialism when capitalism breaks. The entire period was too close to class consciousness for the elites

Forgot about the cherry blossoms and tried to drive to the high park off leash with the pup. No problem, we parked a few blocks away and it’s better anyway. More people and dogs than normal and everyone is friendly. The guys who walk too many big dogs at the same time are not here.
