Today @victoriascott.bsky.social writes about Juniper Blessing, a University of Washington student who was murdered last week, and worries about the potential loss of a better future for young trans people she had always hoped was coming. www.welcometohellworld.com/this-pain-ha...

hi, i'm johnny knoxville and welcome to github

🧵It's been less than a month since the government changed the freedom of information laws, but a slew of updated rejection notes have started to land in the inboxes of journalists, advocates and others. Here's a look at the first few. #ONpoli

I've been trying to think who Altman reminds me of and he's the spitting image of Burke from Aliens

snorkeling at pearl harbour could be a protest song title its so crazy

apple tv baseball: we won’t even show you the game

this apple tv baseball is shot so oddly, and the production, and the commentators, it’s just not good

1 in 4 drivers on Parkside are now exceeding 50 km/h. The speed limit is 40 km/h. Reminder: 80% of pedestrians will not survive a crash at 50 km/h.

From Safe Parkside: look what happened on Parkside Drive after Premier Doug Ford banned speed cameras.

This is what people hiding criminal activities do.

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.

Canada has little control of its police. The lack of accountability is very similar to elsewhere. The police call efforts to oversee them: micromanagement or politicizing policing. All policing is political, the only question is who are making the decisions of the who, how, what of policing.

Canada might have a problem with its out of control police forces with no oversight or accountability but I guess no elected politician thinks its a problem so

Barely anyone in power wants to talk about the Toronto police. It’s really something.

if you keep finding corruption throughout an organization, the organization is corrupt

A deep dive into the devastating environmental effects of allowing #jets at Billy Bishop #Toronto City #Airport. This is the report that the Toronto Port Authority kept secret for nine years. Read @spacing.bsky.social online spacing.ca/toronto/2026... #toronto #onpoli @waterfront4all.bsky.social

On Toronto's island airport, only Carney can stop the madness. Where is the case for an expansion? And what else could this place be? My column: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

the guy that got shot was using one of these decoy things, which seem like obviously the worst idea in the world. it even fooled the army guy or whatever he was with. kinda gotta side with the three year old on this one.

This is not justice. You never have to listen to an Ontario Progressive Conservative talk about law & order again. Put this back in their face. Every minister, every back bencher. They all voted for secret govt.

Almost a kilometre of new lakefill. This project will be a disaster for Toronto’s waterfront. The Port Authority has a plan. They are choosing to keep it secret and leak it piecemeal so we can’t get a handle on it. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

OK, so this is not a sovereign wealth fund, it's just a variation on the failed Canada Infrastructure Bank model where public money 'de-risks' private capital in order to 'catalyze' investment - www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRYa...

I love to watch the Rogers Toronto Blue Jays play at the Rogers Centre in the Rogers SportsNet app on the Rogers wireless network

company with the worst customer service ever: hey we only made a few hundred million dollars profit with our oligopoly so we’re firing everyone

Haven’t we all left a shit party and wished we were already at home?

This 'remote for me but not for thee' information was revealed with a Global News FOI. Media attention to these embarrassing (or worse) moves is why Ford abused his power to exempt himself, his cabinet and their staff from FOI requests, last Thursday.

NEW: That didn’t take long. It looks like freedom of information requests relating to ministers and their offices are already being knocked back by some FOI departments really only hours after the budget received royal assent. #OnPoli

As I wrote in @xtramagazine.com, age verification is bad tech, and it is going to just harm so many people unnecessarily, most especially queer and trans people.

This law is as authoritarian and undemocratic as anything Trump has ever pushed. Members of the Conservative party and ONLY the Conservative party are now 100% shielded from any Freedom Of Information requests from the public or reporters. And it's retroactive, too. Some real Innocent Guy shit.

Toronto: What we’re seeing now is that (police) are not even distinguishing between protests, academic events or cultural events. Any time there are Palestinians speaking about Palestine, they are viewed as potentially anti-semitic or promoting violence.” www.thegrindmag.ca/cops-keep-sh...

Read these books! They’re great!

ok so I want to do two threads about @blipstress.bsky.social PLASTIC PRISM VOID and this is the first and it is about BOOK DESIGN so if you are a NERD then buckle up. My basic positon, as the dummy who got roped into typesetting this book, is it is an amazingly rare thing: something actually new.

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...

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
