Official Court Notice - Tobacco Settlement Funds If you smoked regularly before Nov. 20, 1998 and were diagnosed with a tobacco-related disease, you may qualify for $14,400 - $100,000 from a landmark settlement. www.copdcanada.info/tobacco-sett...

I got the shotgun seat! Many of the daily departures on the Centovallini Railway, which links #Italy 🇮🇹 and #Switzerland 🇨🇭have panoramic windows. Here’s the view out of Domodossola, on the way to Trontano.

Egypt's best-known political prisoner, Alaa Abd El-Fattah, was granted a presidential pardon on Monday after spending almost 12 years in prison. Democracy Now! spoke with Abd El-Fattah in 2011 — when he was a leading voice during Arab Spring protests.

Sinclair broadcasting decides to play games and won't show Kimmel on their local ABC stations. Ok guys, you know what to do. 1. Find out if your local ABC station is owned by Sinclair. 2. Find their biggest corporate advertiser. 3. We start viral posting the stations 4. We boycott the advertisers

White people can move the needle if they want. Y'all got Jimmy Kimmel back on the air boycotting, you can throw some of that expendable income to support the vulnerable through mutual aid, you can make some moves against fascism instead of performatively bemoaning what you think doesn't affect you.

Public health determined *not* by facts and medical science, but feelings and political allegiances? Ending or delaying *all* childhood vaccinations to appease spiral-eyed loonies? Terrible! Thank goodness that sort of disease-coddling, life-threatening madness could never gain a foothold in Cana-

I see Toronto cops break this bylaw and endanger vulnerable users way too often.

today i am challenging democratic politicians, for the rest of the week, to pick one (1) horrifying thing republicans are doing and pretend its as bad as jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended id suggest tom homan taking bribes, but theres a few things to pick from if they want

I'm not the first to notice the reinvention of @wired.com from mouthpiece of tech ideology to showing everyone else how to do journalism today, but this cover is something else. The inclusion of their own hagiographic covers in the back is a nod to that shift, which is beautiful. Also…

🚩Saudi govt is using the Riyadh Comedy Fest to deflect attention from its brutal repression The festival takes place on the 7th anniversary of Khashoggi's murder Lineup includes: Jimmy Carr, Pete Davidson and others @mazjobrani.bsky.social @sammorril.bsky.social www.hrw.org/news/2025/09...

Why a comedian immediately gets his job back but not the professors… Relatedly: Alumni associations are leaving a lot of political and economic power on the table. Also: Unionize faculty

What happens to $20 B worth of land under provincial supervision. The province didn't respond to my questions, the TDSB can't speak to media. My latest for @thelocal.to thelocal.to/tdsb-takeove...

Can't until we get rid of Doug Ford since he banned cities from implementing tolls and/or congestion charges.

Please Toronto. Please.

Not to mention the huge land impact of bioenergy, which requires ***100x or more***the amount land per unit of useable energy delivered vs solar on the vast majority of the world’s land.

Never forget she did this. "In a now infamous op-ed published in Forbes in 2005, before PEPFAR’s impacts were well documented, Brown University economist Emily Oster declared that “treating HIV doesn’t pay.” “It is humane to pay for AIDS drugs in Africa,” she wrote, “but it isn’t economical."

I still can't get over the suggestion for pregnant women to 'tough it out' spoken by the softest man that has ever lived.

"Since the start of Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza, doctors and medical students across Canada have been suspended, disciplined, doxxed and surveilled for signing petitions and posting pro-Palestine content on social media." Excellent work from @brishti.bsky.social as always.

“It doesn’t have to be a bad thing, even though it currently is, and we’re making it worse.”

More reason to unite the Ontario school system within one secular system, providing English and French instruction. A GTA school board banned Every Child Matters flags. Now, some families are speaking out www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Is it possible for the child of a prime minister to have thoughts of their own and be a good journalist? Maybe! One potential problem is when they also work for several lobbyists / businesses at the same time as they are hosting news programs and repeatedly have their business partners on as guests

This is horrific and feels like it should be a bigger deal. Business Insider reports that people who have worked at xAI have seen Grok create images and written material with child sex abuse material. www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-gr...

Sobering data from California: 2024 - 30% of wine grapes unharvested / 2.98 mT - lowest since 1996 2025 - could be less than 2 million tonnes - as low as 1972 Canadians should keep up the pressure - drink VQA!!! www.wine-searcher.com/m/2025/09/ca...

Fuck these guys. “The Trump administration canceled grants for street safety measures, pedestrian trails and bike lanes in communities around the country this month, each time offering a simple rationale for yanking back federal aid: the projects aren’t designed for cars.”

Yes, especially in the midst of government underfunding

Ep. 169: Exploitation and Care in College Football @nkalamb.bsky.social and @derekcrim.bsky.social are joined by @traciecanada.bsky.social to discuss her new @ucpress.bsky.social book *Tackling the Everyday*. open.spotify.com/episode/3NQ3...

36 years ago. What a time to be alive. Now (2025) this shit.

One time at a CTV party around Season 3 of Degrassi, I was standing in line to get food with some other cast members, and Mulroney came up to us and said "you're on TV, you don't need to wait in line, just go take" and I think about it and how he's a Conservative stooge all the time

If you're a cis person who wants to be kind to your trans and nonbinary friends right now, please do not forward us links to stories about trans people being abused, having their rights taken away, or living in fear. We already know. A friendly "hey I hope you're OK" is much more helpful. 💖

73% of Ontarians support speed cameras. Police chiefs support speed cameras. Studies show they work extremely well. Who doesn't like speed cameras? "said he regularly racks up $300 to $400 a month in parking and speeding tickets." He should have his license taken away www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...

I don’t think as many autistic women would have been missed earlier on if society had been willing to accept the fact that a lot of traditional women’s work, paid & unpaid, involves a lot of what we now call STEM. Weavers were the OG programmers. Food & traditional medicine = chemistry & biology.

The NYT liveblog on the autism press conference is a fascinating read -- largely because it's written by health reporters and not political reporters. Look at how direct and appropriately shocked these posts are! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

Montréal’s bike infrastructure hardly takes up any space from cars on city roads

Yes! This is infuriating! All they do is break (underfund) sh*t and blame it on everyone else. 😡 Expect their canned answers of "our ministry (insert department) "has spent" (insert amount). I shouldn't be surprised with their track record.

Canada needs to continue this boycott of US booze, while choosing domestic alternatives.

Dr Patrick McGovern, a leading biomolecular archaeologist in the field of ancient alcoholic beverages, has died aged 80. IMcGovern provided strong scientific evidence that winemaking in Georgia dates back to the Early Neolithic (~8,000 years ago). www.decanter.com/wine-news/in...

🇨🇿✈️ The Czech Republic call for shooting down Russian military aircraft that invade the airspace of third countries. 🗣️Petr Pavel: "Russia will very quickly realize that it crossed the permissible limits. This is balancing on the verge of conflict, but in the face of evil, one cannot retreat."

So. This is a choice.

Conservatives love to darkly say stuff like “you aren’t prepared for what’s next, we’re not going to be moderate anymore, you have no idea what you’ve unleashed” and then cry like babies when you call them fascists

"Italian labor unions led a massive 24-hour general strike on Monday to protest Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, with estimates of hundreds of thousands of demonstrators rallying in dozens of cities across Italy."

This is fucking insane and I am astonished at how irresponsible Global News upper management is being with this. They’re risking the credibility of all their journalists and for…what? Canada’s worst nepo baby?

The Ford Conservatives have underfunded and under resourced the justice system, leading to this huge back log in the courts and jails. More than half of those incarcerated in Ontario are awaiting trial, with double and triple bunking in cells designed for one.

It would be great if @cdnpress.bsky.social could actually acknowledge that the administration of justice is a provincial responsibility, and that Ford's government is the biggest problem with bail, not the Criminal Code.

Do you realize that the CBC produced a consumer information program aimed at teenagers that was basically "Ad Busters for Kids" FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS???? They cancelled that show nearly 20 years ago. Can't imagine today's CBC doing anything like that #cdnmedia
