Don’t forget, for many years #Uber insisted loudly that it would reduce traffic in cities. Instead, Uber drivers cruise without passengers 40% of the time. Uber and Lyft no longer claim they reduce traffic. They now admit they increase congestion. So much for “making cities better…” Via @wsj.com

People who care about climate change are “dreaming nostalgically about the past.” - Minister Hodgson Gotcha. That explains a lot.

Astonishing advance by the Greens, astonishing implosion of Labour. When will Starmer's government get the message that it is destroying its base with deeply unpopular, rightwing policies? By chasing Reform, it legitimises the far right while delegitimising itself.

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

Just a feeling.

Weird right? He used to support the first amendment

Facts are facts: Right-wing extremists account for the overwhelming majority of extremist-linked deaths in America.

We don't yet have any idea what the ideology of the Kirk shooter was. But we do know that the Denver school shooter was a far-right white supremacist. www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...

For your edification, Hill Heat has collected some of the building blocks of the political edifice Kirk constructed during his time on this Earth. We apologize for the intellectual sewage that follows.

He didn’t deserve to be assassinated, but a lot of Canadian conservatives seemed to have really liked him. I saw one call him a modern-day Socrates

There have been governments posting shameless pro-fossil content for a long time but is this the first time it has such a janky, pimply memelord dampness to it

I have this thought over and over again. Even after everything, I just can't believe it.

The University Ave cycle tracks are state-of-the-art. Their glorious width is future-proof for our growing cycling city - safe passing space, e-bikes safely coexisting, room for everyone. Narrowing the most beautiful cycle tracks I've ever seen for an extra car lane we don't need is so sad.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

New horrific footage shows that Israel lied through its teeth about its massacre of paramedics and rescue workers. But still Western media outlets will keep treating Israeli lies as credible. Accessories to genocide 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/israel-lie...

This is a a look at how Poilievre might govern, should he win the beauty contest April 28. Straight out of the Trump playbook. When I was trying to assess their industrial strategy, because so little other than tax cuts have been offered, his long, rambling speeches have little policy. Like Trump.

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

BREAKING & BIG: Today in PARIS, citizens voted in a referendum to PEDESTRIANIZE 500 MORE of the city's streets, giving fresh momentum to efforts by city leaders to create people-places, curb car usage, and improve air quality. 66% of Parisians voted in favour of the measure, official results showed!

TLDR: Danielle Smith tells Breitbart that Poilievre is MAGA, needs MAGA help to win election.

"To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me. Yet, I was still detained for nearly two weeks. Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there."

Please for the love of Ontario, vote for someone OTHER than Doug. #onpoli

Donald Trump has become master of the US Senate | Sidney Blumenthal

Thought I’d release some more greatest hits from the guy who referred to killing people by electric chair as “send ‘em to Sparky”. Doug Ford is a terrible human being. We could do so much better. #onpoli

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

Um... that bike lane is hardly ploughed! How does Furey think someone is supposed to cycle in that bike lane? Also, I often see tracks like that in the Bloor bike lane, as if a small tractor has been driven down it, but the plow part was never actually deployed. 🤦 #BikeTO @cityofto.bsky.social

Excuse me WHAT?

Hey Therme Canada, this note’s for you! You have resurfaced, trying to tell folks Therme isn’t receiving a cent from taxpayers. In fact you are getting $2.237 billion (and counting) in taxpayer subsidies/corporate welfare! Try the truth for once. #topoli #onpoli

This map from Ontario Place for All shows how much the $2 billion spa is costing everyone else in Ontario ($400 per citizen). Multiply each city's number by 20 to cover the $60 billion fantasy car tunnel under the 401, and you have to ask, why would anyone vote for this idiot?

Here's a fact most Americans don't know: The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is the largest purchaser of wine by dollar value in the world. The LCBO has shut the flow of all American beer, wine, spirits. We will drink "Freedom wines" from our allies and beer from our communities.

Very much worth a watch if you have not yet seen the PM’s brief and moving speech to Americans and Canadians. “From the beaches of Normandy …to the streets of Kandahar, we have fought and died alongside you during your darkest hours. We're always there, standing with you."

Welp. Turns out electing an unstable maniac is a bad idea after all.

I really hope the people of Ontario vote this corrupt grifter out.

For a photo op & a bragging media post, Trump minions at the USACoE have thrown away millions of gals of #water farmers were relying on for later this year. This water will not be captured, will not be useful for cities or farms or firefighting. It is now lost. www.latimes.com/environment/...

Great letter from our @albertkoehl.bsky.social in response to @reggcohn.bsky.social's bike lane column. Koehl calls out the millions of dollars & thousands of tonnes of toxic salt spread on city roads each year for single occupancy drivers. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero www.thestar.com/opinion/lett...

As chief planner, I tried to get Toronto to adopt a congestion fee and make drivers pay to come downtown. New York caught on. Why didn't we? by @jenniferkeesmaat.bsky.social www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... via @torontostar.bsky.social

I compared 22 identical climate-related posts on Threads vs Bluesky over the last 3 months, and the difference is shocking. Normalized engagement on Threads dropped nearly 2/3 + my following dropped, while Bluesky engagement held steady + following quadrupled. What’s driving this? Read on! 🧵
