Outstanding news!

Is this what @liberalca.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social meant by a "budget of sacrifices"? The people of Taiaiak'on-Parkdale-High are... relieved, I guess. /s 🤷‍♀️ @kbardeesy.bsky.social

At the end of the day I'm not sure how much difference it makes. But it is striking to put out a budget that axes a luxury tax on yachts and adds a co-pay for refugee claimants accessing drugs and dental care.

Ok but what if we invested in human intelligence

As we await the federal budget, a reminder that social programs, access to basic needs like housing, food, etc. are not "Good to have" - they are essential. "We'll get to addressing violence, poverty, homophobia, racism, etc. once we deal with the tariffs" is bad economic policy AND absolute BS.

$12 to wash and dry *one* load at the local coin-op. City politics convulses over a property tax increase that adds a couple of hundred to the bill of the average owner household but this endless drain on renter finances goes unnoticed

This team brought so much happiness, hometown pride, excitement, and entertainment to people this season. It was so much fun falling back in love with baseball! Thank you, gentlemen. 💙 #BlueJays

you are a beautiful team and you brought so much joy. i only wish you could be feeling the joy you deserve right now. ♥️⚾

AI has huge potential to address pain points of human work. Stealing content is not how we get there. Guardrails are essential to advancing the best of the technology.

Wow, this is seriously not cool, Maclean's. I recognize that you've published an apology to this photographer, but how did you think this was ok?

It hasn’t always been obvious when buying a book meant investing in a Canadian business. The Certified Canadian Publisher program is a bid to change that. 📚🇨🇦 #TyeePresents #Sponsored

This is good. More of this.

I blame the Jonas Brothers.

so I think the trick to beating Yamamoto is never facing Yamamoto ever again, yes? okay good talk blue jays

Vancouver knows what’s up. 🔥🔥🔥 First “The Discussion” posters spotted.

Watch any good baseball lately? ✌️❤️🇨🇦⚾️ peacelovecanada.ca/products/bas...

I know a lot of people talk about "Ken Griffey's swing", "John Olerud's swing" but for my money there is nothing more beautiful than Alejandro Kirk: - 5'7 and built like a Welsh corgi - basically drops halfway into a splits on each swing - each swing is a Street Fighter "Shooooryuken" uppercut

parking over everything.

Oh shoot, I hadn't even gotten to the part of this *same bill* that would ban cities from "reducing the number of motor vehicle lanes when installing new bicycle lanes." bsky.app/profile/camb...

In particular, they want leases to no longer necessarily remain in effect indefinitely, so that landlords have more options for creating tenant turnover. Current situation in left-hand column, proposal on the right:

An upside [for Canadians] to the deterioration in the Canada-US relationship is that Ottawa is now more open to the idea of adopting EU standards over US ones. Hopefully this continues to building standards as well. motorillustrated.com/volkswagen-c...

Enough. Awesome to see this billboard up in Vancouver. Was really incredible to work with the people at @visionzerovancouver.ca to bring this to life.

If somehow the Ford gov reverses course on the speed cam ban, drivers will be left with significant concessions: they’ll know they can go 10 km/h over the limit when the cameras are operating, and as fast as they want on nights and weekends.

Chaotic good.

Do it for him

It is pandemonium in here. Pure joy. What a game. What a night. Oh baby for sure. O Canada 🇨🇦

Three pairs of colourful cardinals chipping and hopping in the yard this morning. This one looks like he's contemplating deep existential thoughts while perched on the bird bath. Been there, birdo; been there. #Birds 🪶🐦

150km/h in a 40km/h zone. But fining the driver is a "tax grab".

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

Table For One Please. Happy to hear this billboard is still up in Vancouver, was a pleasure to work with @visionzerovancouver.ca.

Hoffman is Not Awesome for my blood pressure. 😬

💯can confirm. It's always led to positive, fun interactions, though -- at least, so far! 😆

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away. They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

These Toronto Police officers could have used the adjacent parking spot, but instead are blocking a busy bike lane in rush hour. A stream of cyclists bumping over the curb to get around the SUV. Two officers watching this happen.

we need a word for a type of person who spends all their time working to live in a city so they can be near cool things, but they don't actually like going out

Vladdy. Trey. Ernie. 😍 Lightin' up the Dome; ya love to see it. #WantItAll #TorontoBlueJays #ALDS
