NEW: Ontario’s transparency watchdog is renewing her calls for the Ford government to scrap its controversial freedom of information crackdown, saying the changes will make the province “less transparent than even the federal government.” #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1176627...

Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

if you think age verification for social media is about protecting children I also have three magic beans i'm willing to part with for a bargain

Bitches, leave.

A new Sybil Lamb novel? In this economy?

Counterpoint: fuck you

The only conclusion you can take at this time is that Doug Ford loves kids (and adults) getting hit by cars

baseball baby

what are we doing here guys $106.20 for a jays hat (plus * ships from usa)

Ah yes. Rhoel Ong "The Toronto police sergeant involved in an incident with an elderly crossing guard in Markham while off-duty, is being identified by a former Occupy Toronto protester as a constable who had previously been investigated for misconduct."

Reminder: the airport claims it's very important to the economy, but zero independent studies demonstrate this, and their own "report" is deeply flawed bsky.app/profile/alex...

Ford "accused the city of approving tall condos in the future flight path of the jets on purpose." Completely unhinged. This is the premier who ran on delivering housing. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Carney has slashed 40,000 public service jobs. For context, the oil & gas sector employed 54,600 people in 2025 He's a real job killer. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Conan, what is best in life? To see your friends, to hear the lamentation of their children, and to be like "well, it was so good seeing you, have fun with all that"

remember this list of services slated to be gutted by the man who knows he only has to make a nice speech when the cameras are on. Elbows up and all that.

Yikes

Good Stuff!

Listen folks, you won't be able to use Freedom of Information laws to see what corruption I'm to to, but at least you'll be able to chug tequila at farmer's markets toronto.citynews.ca/2026/03/17/f...

“If records about government business can be shielded from scrutiny simply because they sit in a minister’s office, on a staffer’s device, or within a political account, public accountability is eviscerated.” - Ontario’s Information and Privacy Commissioner Patricia Kosseim #OnPoli

the "study" he says is by the University of Alberta is actually by THE GOVERNMENT OF ALBERTA and it is EXTREMELY PROBLEMATIC and the authors are very good friends and donors to the UCP please read this thread www.cp24.com/video/2026/0...

In short:

Would jets downtown be good for Toronto’s economy? As it turns out, no. @greglindsay.org explains the truth behind the vibes: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

The Toronto Police Accountability Bulletin that just came out is really good. I suggest you take a peek, share it around. Especially the stuff about how the police board chair, Shelly Carroll, worked to avoid public input on the budget. Ford is not the only one steamrolling local democracy.

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch www.theverge.com/podcast/8914...

Canadian govt officials dislike public access to info. Very simple.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Important to call lies out when there are lies. These are lies from a liar.

Our client was doored by a TPS officer. We later found out that the investigating officer blamed our client for being doored. This same investigator in 2024 ticketed a cyclist client of ours hit in a bike lane for not wearing a helmet! Read our blog here: www.thebikinglawyer.ca/post/another...

Can we get an ‘alright’? 🛻 🎂

Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it.

I decided to try out apple mail in macos 26 and see if it was usable now - constantly shows new messages when there aren't any - doesn't have a one-button way to archive (cmd ctrl a??? really?) - will only show you basically no header information or all the header information (unformatted)

“In October, one of Discord’s former third-party vendors suffered a data breach that exposed users’ age verification data, including images of government IDs.”

age verification is functionally a huge security hazard for _all_ internet users but the government will call you a danger to children if you point this out

Okay but Zack Polanski has been coming out with bangers

was epstein uniquely responsible for evil or is he just the one obscenely wealthy person whose emails we're getting to read

Reminder: journalists get arrested in Canada too. In fact, The Narwhal is in court right now challenging the RCMP for arresting photojournalist Amber Bracken. Our editor-in-chief,Carol Linnitt, testifies today and Monday, and court is open to the public if you're in Vancouver.

Ontario received 14,233 comments on its plan to drop protections on a portion of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park, transferring management to the municipality. The plan is moving ahead unchanged, despite 98 per cent of those comments being in opposition. thenarwhal.ca/wasaga-beach...

Public opposition was clear. Despite 98% of 14,000+ comments rejecting the plan, the Government of Ontario is moving ahead with transferring Wasaga Beach from provincial to municipal control including endangered piping plover habitat. Reporting by @fatimabsyed.bsky.social for @thenarwhal.ca ⬇️

Private for-profit healthcare is corrosive to Ontario’s public healthcare system. It’s just Doug Ford handing money to already rich people at the expense of poorer people.
