Local man says government-owned properties to be used for expensive massages and waterslides, not basic shelter.

Carter Hart, from the Las Vegas Golden Knights, was one of five charged with sexual assault in the Hockey Canada trial. Last year at this time he was testifying in an Ontario courtroom. This year, he's playing for the Stanley Cup. Are we going to talk about this? www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/...

Infuriating for them to talk about "crossing mid-block" when there are literally no crossings and this is the road. Damn it, get out of the cruiser and go see what the actual problem is, then push the city to put some pedestrian signals, or _something_. This is a deadly road and you're not helping.

"where the pedestrian was hit most recently is in a 2,000-foot pedestrian crossing dead zone. Where were they supposed to cross?" - Anneke Smit Exactly. Going down the route of ticketing and blaming pedestrians who have no choice but to risk their life is archaic and wrong www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Documents obtained by The Narwhal reveal staff in Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources raised concerns about the impacts of changes to the province’s Endangered Species Act, saying they “may weaken oversight and accountability” and “undermine public trust.” thenarwhal.ca/ontario-natu...

Pope Leo is becoming a critical moral voice in a world where few with power are willing to be.

Ahh, Thug Fraud , as some call him, claimed to be for the little guy. Truth is he's actually for his developer donors.

Half of business owners on this Toronto street estimated that more than 25% of their customers arrived by car. In fact, it was 4%. And the % of customers who who walked or cycled? 72%. Retailers routinely overestimate the # of “car customers.” Via @carltonreid.com www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

CBC reports the Carney government is quietly considering major labour law changes, including possible limits on the right to strike. Unions are sounding the alarm. So Canadians should ask: Where’s the line between economic “stability” and weakening workers’ democratic rights? 🇨🇦

What can the mayor of Toronto do, exactly? People want to believe a mayor is empowered to fix all their city’s problems — but the reality is a lot different. As you cast your vote this October, here’s what you need to know about what the mayor you’re voting for can and can’t do.

It's a strange world when the Premier of the Province thinks that it's more important to give voice to maybe 20% of voters rather than the 80% who are satisfied with the status quo. The Premier may or may not be a separatist but she is certainly a deliberate enabler of separatism. #abpoli #cdnpoli

Pope Leo XIV previews his encyclical by attacking Silicon Valley’s “unbridled promotion and implementation of technology at the expense of human dignity.”

Good to know, but what else are you for? What about personal and corporate tax rates, what about health care? What about the VRA, EPA, climate change etc?

Doug Ford mocked a judge for protecting the Charter rights of unhoused people, even joking about sending “15 encampments” to the judge’s backyard. So here’s the real question: Why are courts being forced to defend basic human rights in the middle of a housing crisis? This is why CBC matters.

This is laughable, coming from someone who has been winking at the MAGA-aligned separatist movement for years. People who are losing sleep over climate change are not the ones tearing our country apart: we’re trying to save it. This summer Canada could well be burning faster than we can build it.

Instead of confidential letters, proportional representation would give members real power. When joining or creating new parties becomes easier, leadership faces constant pressure to be responsive. First-past-the-post means independence ends in isolation and career ruin. bsky.app/profile/nati...

Anyone know what the rules in Canada are on this?

Hi @gregmcleanyyc.bsky.social, as my MP for Calgary-Centre, it would be great if you could provide your comments, voting intentions, and advice with respect to Premier Danielle Smith's address to the province on May 21, please. Here is the text for your reference: www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?... 🗳

Still one of the best. “You’re not stuck in traffic. You ARE traffic.” Put it on repeat. #UrbanTruth

The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board underperformed for the third consecutive year. The fund earned a net return of 7.8 per cent in fiscal 2026 compared to benchmark portfolios, which delivered a 13.2 per cent return for the same period.

Canada needs to do much better. We're barely above the US. @mark-carney.bsky.social

I've never understood why cities and countries compete for these sporting events. Hope @toronto.ca never bids fon one ever again.

I didn’t support Canadian cities bidding on the FIFA World Cup because costs greatly exceed local benefits. But after getting some games, our cities SHOULD try to benefit as much as we can. But with FIFA’s corruption & Trump collaboration, I recommend not giving a dime more to FIFA than we have to.

@charlieangus104.bsky.social you heard about this? pressprogress.ca/alberta-sepa... Pete Hoekstra may be directly tied to the data leaks in Alberta. It’s getting more serious and insidious by the day!! Please demand action and we will all press our MPs accordingly! He might need to be expelled

I think we sometimes need to collectively pause and remind ourselves how unhinged the stuff coming out of the White House actually is

Nothing can make me happier today then this... You go gals! @kevinolearytv

CBC do you not realize you're on the menu?

Imagine talking about any other public service this way. Does the government keep public hospitals “afloat”? What about when it gave Marine Atlantic $169 million to support its operations in 24/25? The media does the bidding of those who want to private Canada Post when they adopt this framing.

Most unfortunately, we're stuck with First Past the Post here in Canada too and it's as much a threat to our democracy as well. @fairvote.ca @markcarey93.bsky.social

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

As a Canadian, the reason I am so concerned about the racist electoral policies being implemented in the US is because 💩 defies gravity and rolls uphill. Smith in Alberta is already trying to rig that election. My guess, Ford and Moe are next. We need PR nationwide. #CDNpoli @fairvote.ca

The 59 MPPs who voted "Aye" represent only 40% of voters, while the 37 "Nays" represent 60%. First-past-the-post distorts our democracy. Proportional representation ensures that governments cannot act unilaterally without broad majority support.

Legal experts just confirmed Danielle Smith's private health care law breaks the Canada Health Act. Wealthy patients pay to skip the line. Everyone else waits longer. Protecting public healthcare is the federal government's job. So why is PM Carney letting Conservatives dismantle it?

It's not "Women were given the vote", it's "Men withheld enfranchisement until they forced to give it up"

CBC reports Russian influence networks and Trump-aligned U.S. actors are amplifying Alberta separatist narratives to sow distrust and division in Canada. That should alarm everyone. Disinformation thrives when democracies stop taking it seriously. Photo: CBC/The Canadian Press

We'd all like Doug Ford stopped. And until the next election, we'll accept help from anyone.

1/ Today is May Day — a reminder of what working people can win when we stand together. Every right we have, from weekends to workplace safety, was fought for by workers who took on the rich and powerful.

Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin. When workers stand together, they win. Solidarity. #MayDay
