So the city paid $95 million bucks to Taggart Miller for the expanded dump capacity. Does Taggart Miller also to waste collection for the city? Jesus, land speculation is a good gig #ottawa

Given the influence of this 16%, can someone get comment from Lisa Rait given her indignation around conservatives in #canada being called MAGA. The 16% here and conservatives who will be at the Calgary leadership conventions are a fucking circle in the Venn diagram

Under no circumstances should children be strip searched. Only a sick society would ever consider this as something that should be done.

I dunno, when the five-year-old wants a kidical mass birthday party you give them a kidical mass birthday party

I’m almost at intentional levels of enshittification by OC Transpo. There’s going to have to be a radical culture change at that department to demand the funding they need to provide service, instead of accepting what a comity council who doesn’t rely on the service gives them #ottawa

The last time I drove up the 416, cows and farms as far as the eye can see, randomly spotting a sign saying ‘Welcome to Ottawa’, then 45 minutes later gradually entering the outskirts of a built up urban area, I was reminded of one of the main reasons why our public transit system sucks so much.

Ahh so this was premeditated murder as well as extrajudicial

olive oil is a legitimate interest

Canada is helping the United States built a fleet of new icebreakers — but those ships could enable the US to further threaten Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic. (The United States does not recognize Canada’s claim over the Northwest Passage.)

Walking down Bank Street (through Centretown) earlier. Every stop was crowded and the odd bus that eventually did inch by, caught up in all the other traffic, was rammed to the rafters. Public transit in this city is truly awful.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

“In Denmark, middle class people can't afford to drive a car. They have a bike and take the train for long trips. My embassy driver would bike an hour in the snow to get to work. That's the future team Biden wants for Americans.” - MAGA American ambassador to Denmark (2017-21)

🔥 take: The best thing about a podcast is that you can *listen* to it while doing something else (walking, shopping, household chores, etc). If I’m supposed to *watch* your podcast on Netflix (or YouTube) it is no longer a podcast and has become, for all intents and purposes, a TV show instead.

And the World Cup games in Toronto and Vancouver?

The Winter Olympics – ironically sponsored by Petro Canada – are running out of winter www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/27/n...

if you can’t “see someone” cuz of clothing color or whatever bullshit.. You. Are. Driving. Too. Fast.

The province obsessed with the free market…

We moved to this area in part cuz of this school which the province is now slow-rolling into a closure. Every morning a school bus of kids from this neighborhood are bussed across Carling to the French immersion school on the other side of the highway (basically) www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

Loving this energy from Milan's mayor Giuseppe Sala

Fuckkkkkkkkkkk

It’s not surprising to see but it’s a bit wild the difference between Wab Kinew and Doug Ford and their public political messaging. Kinew is unequivocal says with his chest “Trump stop killing people” and Ford saying with his chest “the US buying our military vehicles for ICE is amazing”

The actual fuck

Oh yeah this is going to go over well variety.com/2026/sports/...

A few to choose from. Elected official responses will vary widely.

These vehicles don’t work in 10 cms of snow but it sure they’ll be fine in 50°C for months on end

ICE is riddled with sex criminals. A January 2026 report by the Pacific Antifascist Research Collective identified 30 ICE and CBP agents with documented convictions and arrests, some for serious violent and sexual crimes. At least 20 committed offenses with underage victims.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

Time to night ski. Main streets must be portaged 👣 but alleyways and side streets have a good base.

I wish they were doubling the amount for those on social assistance, affirming that provinces may not claw it back and paying it out monthly. Quarterly payments made sense in the day of paper checks. Groceries are more frequent than quarterly.

Both #quebec and #alberta seem to think separation gives them an edge to negotiate utterly fucking fantastical outcomes

Given Carneys announcement about groceries or whatever bullshit with the GST rebate, it’s wild how non-existent the tool box is for governments who don’t want to touch the corporate monopoly that exists in #canada It’s all tinkering at the edges while greasing the rails for corps in trench coats

I’ve seen #toronto is also doing a ride

More awesome reporting from the folks over at @thelogic.co:

With the news of that UK ecological collapse report, it seems particularly fucked up #canada is hacking research like this with no regard given there’s probably similar reports here that show the reality of what the future holds

Cars simply don't work in our climate.

A Canadian-made armoured vehicle was spotted on Minneapolis streets the day ICE murdered Alex Pretti. The company that sold ICE that monster as part of a $10 million deal? Roshel. What’s more: Canada’s government brought Roshel’s CEO on a trade mission SIX DAYS AFTER Renee Good was murdered.

I've spent my day tracking down Canadian companies that have direct or indirect contracts supporting ICE operations. So far, I've found NINE. I've reached out to all of them. I plan to publish my video on this tomorrow, detailing the companies, contract amounts and purposes.

Love this line: “Time after time, ICE has tried to abduct someone, only to be scared off by Minnesotans in pajamas and crocs.”

Why residential secure bike parking will be a game changer for NYC

Doug Ford said it had to close because the roof was unstable. Massive snow dump, roof just fine. Doug Ford lies.

Looking for a tangible way to fight back against the separatists right now? Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation has stepped up to be the pointy end of the legal spear, but those battles aren’t free. You can help them fight back for all of us! #abpoli #cdnpoli www.gofundme.com/f/sturgeon-l...

I guess Steve Outhouse’s charisma and influence only goes so far huh

This is a big deal even if it isn't surprising (it should be! but this is modern right-wing politics, apparently!) The Conservative Party isn't accrediting @nationalobserver.com, but gives "content creator" accreditation to people like a streamer that begged me for feet pics and "Berta Proud Dad."

Those journalists wrote in the article that Quebec is “hundreds of kilometres away…” ya like lots and lots of hundreds of kilometres

Maybe journalists outside of Minneapolis should acknowledge what journalists on the ground in the city have already learned: This is a paramilitary occupation.

So the profits of the Canadian grocery monopoly remain intact, publicly funded even? This is much like the food donation bins just past check out, graciously put out by grocery concerns, allowing consumers to buy from them then donate.

The future liberals want
