So Trump successfully bullied a good man and his family. Because winning over Harris Walz wasnât enough. Trump wanted to destroy him. Walz is making the right decision for his family. But the success of Trumpâs grotesque bullying campaign is yet another frightening step in our national descent.

That is now 2 statements from Carney that have legitimized Trump's violent, extrajudicial overthrow & kidnapping of another country's leader. Our prime minister looks more Neville Chamberlain than elbows up rn. (He has also failed to speak directly to Canadians who might be feeling unsettled.)

I have a great eye for little geographic details. So many times a movie is set in a different city and yet, Los Angeles traffic signals are clearly visible in the background. Or things like having police cars in a NYC/NYS setting but incorrectly yet having forward facing blue lights.

If you don't try to draw a map of a bus network, decision-makers will never see how complicated it is. Our firm often draws an agency's first clear map. Its effect is sometimes to show that the service doesn't make sense, which starts the process of improving it. Apps are helpful but maps matter.

So the civil servants did a feasibility study, and then Doug Ford turned around & hired someone else to do a new study? But won't release the results of the old one? Guessing it came back as some combination of expensive, dangerous, and ineffective.
