Money that this Premier is directly responsible for taking out of Ontarians’ pockets.

She adds that violations of ICE agents' rights can't be addressed if they won't identify themselves. She concedes it can be "scary" to be followed home or harassed, but adds, "That doesn't mean you get to do this job and be anonymous."

NEW: Vehicles registered to Doug Ford's cabinet ministers have been caught by automated speed cameras more than 20 times. In one case, they were driving 70 in a 40 zone. On average, they were 17 over the limit. #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1146373...

The circulation core of a mid-rise French apartment building is less than half the size of a mid-rise Canadian apartment building – 26.5 m^2 (285 sq. ft.) vs. 55 m^2 (592 sq. ft.)

EMERGENCY TIMELINE CLEANSE: Godzilla says Trans Rights 🏳️‍⚧️ youtu.be/xG1T0URuTWw

Mississauga’s updating its Clarkson GO station #MTSA policies to convert 10ha of irreplaceable employment lands for housing. Why? Because they intentionally drew the boundary to exclude low-density “established neighbourhoods” of bungalows that are literally across the street from the station.

A truly excellent summary of the ways that pro-crime Premier Ford is undercutting both safety and ease of getting around this province.

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

Champagne, arguing that government program spending is inherently wasteful: “And to make it simple: Canadians understand when you buy a house, you invest, when you go to the grocery, you spend”. But, um, people need to buy groceries literally to survive. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Strangely missing from this story about school trustees “burning through cash trying to fight [legal] decisions”, published during a provincial assault on school boards, is any mention of the vast sums the Ford gov’t burns fighting legal rulings about its own arbitrary & capricious actions…

This sets up an absurd standard where the only justification for criticizing Kirk is if he personally committed violence. But the entire reason liberalism is under attack is the constant lies and endorsement of violence by prominent conservatives, not because they're doing it themselves!

Carney is delivering the very opposite of what Canadians voted for earlier this year.

Either we are all free, or none of us are free. Either we all have the right to be who we are, or none of us have that right. And if someone doesn’t believe that, all they are doing is choosing whom they wish to start with eliminating, but their end goal is to get rid of everyone who is not them.

WTF

C’mon paddlewheelite!

I haven’t seen it illustrated like this before. Very effective messaging. Of course it actually depends a lot on how fast the vehicle’s being driven, how big the vehicle is and how it’s designed, and how small the victims (too often kids) are. Via @yegbike.bsky.social #SpeedKills #CarBloat

“These cuts to WAGE demonstrate that Carney doesn’t care enough about the actual people on the ground, and he’s asking for worse outcomes for marginalized communities and vulnerable people as a result.” ^hard to argue with that

Al Jazeera Media Network condemns the targeted assassination of its correspondents Anas Al Sharif and Mohammeel Qraiqea, along with photographers Ibrahim Al Thaher, and Mohamed Nofal, by Israeli forces. #JournalismIsNotACrime

#Carney wishes the dispossession of the Palestinians could be conducted somewhat more discreetly but he avoids any concrete measures to restraint Israel and continues to demand #Palestinian submissiveness in the face of #genocide.

With Mark Carney in power, the Business Council of Canada has reclaimed its throne in Ottawa—quietly shaping national policy to serve the interests of the country’s corporate elite while sidelining the public, Parliament, and the progressive promises that got the Liberals elected.

Ashamed of Canada’s @mark-carney.bsky.social government for not standing up for right on this.

As George Monbiot recently wrote: "The one thing that can stop the rise of the far right is the one thing mainstream parties are currently not prepared to deliver: greater equality. The rich should be taxed more, and the revenue used to improve the lives of the poor."

People don’t buy pre-construction & private developers stop building, when falling housing prices create huge risks of financial losses. The federal & provincial governments must pour billions into using this idled capacity to build non-market housing now, instead of Carney’s & Ford’s austerity.

This is at the same level as the Chrétien/Martin cuts in the 1990s, and at a time when we desperately need the federal government to be spending more on housing, transportation, health care and environmental protection & mitigation.

And I have no faith in the federal government to step up and defend the Canada Health Act. Prove me wrong, @mark-carney.bsky.social

Crossing the Humber was actually crossing the Rubicon.

NEW: After Ontario added long-term care beds to its housing start numbers and set municipal targets, it created an online tracker. For months now, that has been dormant despite the data being ready in February, according to internal docs. #Onpoli globalnews.ca/news/1123580...

Bill 5 is a wide-reaching attack on Indigenous rights, environmental protections, labour laws and democratic oversight. Because they've jammed so many problematic elements into one bill I sat down to give you a guide to what Bill 5 will really mean for Ontario. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAAk...

Two Republican judges on the North Carolina Court of Appeals just effectively overturned Justice Allison Riggs' victory over Jefferson Griffin by retroactively nullifying thousands of lawful votes. A massive and outrageous blow to democracy.

Let’s learn from the disaster down south and keep this guy far from the reins of power.

This elderly man showed up to support an anti-trans bill in my home state and then, because he had to wait hours to testify, he was stuck listening to queer folks rally against it By the time it was his turn to speak, he'd changed his mind Never doubt that speaking out can change hearts and minds

One of the big reasons why Ford called an election more than a year early, and why it was so “quiet”—taking advantage of his unconstitutional gagging of criticism of his party’s record in office. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It remains bananas that the leader of the Official Opposition who hopes to become Prime Minister later this year STILL hasn’t even applied for the clearance required for him to be briefed on matters of national security.

Yikes. Video of yesterday’s crash & flip at YYZ.

Hey Therme Canada, this note’s for you! You have resurfaced, trying to tell folks Therme isn’t receiving a cent from taxpayers. In fact you are getting $2.237 billion (and counting) in taxpayer subsidies/corporate welfare! Try the truth for once. #topoli #onpoli

Ontarians largely have no idea how Team Ford has rigged elections in their favour. Did you know that Ford used the notwithstanding clause to pass voter suppression legislation after a court ruled he couldn't? It was a huge success. Lowest turnout ever. www.corruptario.ca/suppress-the...

In education, the government used accounting techniques to mask significant cuts to classroom resources. The province has effectively reduced per-student funding by $1,500 since the 2018-19 fiscal year. #EduSky 🍎 #WellBeing #Onpoli #Election2025 www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Same in Ontario, except our lack of parks and good public space is paired with towers.

Toronto should be doing this with the Bike Share bikes! Not sure if they have built-in GPS, but could come up with a good approximation just using the start and end station locations.
