I’m all for conservative cost-effective solutions like housing people in homes instead of hospitals.

'I'm not afraid of this mayor': Sarah McNeilly launches GoFundMe to support legal fight against Leal's use of strong mayor powers. The city has asked a judge to hold the #Ptbo resident personally liable for court costs. kawarthanow.com/2025/06/12/i...

Okay Luigi absolutely didn't do it and this is a pin job

Oh come on! Food banks aren't part of a real social safety net; they exist because the system is failing. A true safety net includes things like income support, disability benefits, housing, healthcare, and childcare. We need lasting solutions, not emergency stopgaps.

I keep getting skinny bellydancers on my fyp. I don't need that. I'm not in this for the love of the game. I could watch a pole dancer wearing a hazmat suit if I was in it for the Athleticism and Artistry but I'm not. I know what I'm about. Give me the fat dancers if you must give me anything at all

Good: * Poilievre isn't Prime Minister. * Poilevre lost his own seat. Bad: * Everything has shifted substantially rightward. * 40% of popular vote and +20 seats for Cons. * Basically a two-party parliament of centre right and far right. * Left leaning parties wiped out.

it's independent bookstore day! and incidentally amazon has put on a book sale the same day, because they're undercutting scum! don't give them your money! support you local bookstore in person or use bookshop.org! maybe even buy My book! it's good! bookshop.org/p/books/hung...

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

After years of chipping away at it, the Doug Ford government is getting rid of Ontario's Endangered Species Act. This is a very big deal. #ONpoli thenarwhal.ca/ontario-enda...

He likes to sneak these things in when we're busy looking the other way, like legislation that would repeal Ontario’s Endangered Species Act, stomp all over municipal bylaws at will, and of course provisions to block court actions arising from these projects.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

ftr "you cannot engage with harry potter without jkr profiting" includes piracy. you are still giving it attention. you are still keeping it in the social consciousness. you are still, probably, talking about it to someone. you have to let it go. you have to fucking let it go.

No prob! It's important info for citizens/taxpayers to have. You might also be interested in how much a typical taxpayer spends on the library per year. It's around $90 for the median property owner.

"a New York Times investigation showed that, in pitching itself to the world, Therme has misrepresented itself, misleading the Ontario government & exaggerating its experience in its bid to secure the Toronto deal." Can't wait to see the Ford govt's msging. And don't forget this from last week.

JKR funded the campaign group behind all this btw. This is why we beg you to stop engaging with Harry Potter media.

"By approving the staffing reorganization and associated layoffs, council managed to shave about $2.75 off of the 2025 property tax bill for the median property owner." Thanks to the PTBO Currents for highlighting this!

no lies detected. #civilrights

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

my hope is that AI can empower the Dumbest, Least talented slobs i know to replace everything i ever loved with One Million Years of Content

"One City is once again partnering with United Way #ptbo, the Research for Social Change Lab @trent, & All Saints’ Anglican Church to present another all candidates debate on housing & homelessness in #ptbo, this time with our federal election candidates."

Apply for the benefit, people! And please tell your low-income friends, neighbours, and frenemies about it.

"But here’s the sad reality: we cannot fix the electoral system by gaming it."

Is bombing a school full of refugees and children a war crime? The West would want for you to believe it depends on whether you're Israel. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

"We can't let PP turn us into America ... that's why we need to act like we have a two-party system and vote in a Neo-Liberal majority! Just this once, perhaps!"

Good news on a backwards policy. If it were about proximity to schools they would have been allowed to move, not be forced to close leaving people without access to this lifesaving service. www.thestar.com/news/gta/jud...

massively depressing that the big scandal is that the shithead guy from the atlantic got texted accidentally and not the part where they're raining more death on yemen

Always be aware of your surroundings when peacefully protesting for your fucking rights

50,000 Imagine what would happen in this country if any population group other than people who use drugs was dying at these rates and the deaths were preventable through well known evidence based policies that government could implement at any time they chose

We are almost certainly only finding out about this because he’s an Oscar winner, which is both a credit to the power of art and a horrific statement about the plight of other people in similar situations

The law forces CTS to close at the end of this week. Some will take time to reopen if they are allowed, some may not be able to at all. It will result in death. Get Naloxone and get trained. Please.

the meaning of "terrorism" isnt being changed or watered down, it never really meant anything other than "enemy of the state" when used in dissent to begin with and who it can and cant be applied to has always shifted

A constitutional challenge being heard today, brought forward by @tngcommunityto.bsky.social and two individual Applicants, will determine whether a number of life-saving supervised consumption sites in the province can continue to operate past the end of this month.

"Columbia agreed to ban masks, empower 36 campus police officers with new powers to arrest students and appoint a senior vice provost with broad authority to oversee the department of Middle East, South Asian and African Studies as well as the Center for Palestine Studies."

We are sending people for indefinite detention without trial at a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer teams and about loving their mothers.

I have not directly encountered God even once. Dr. Indiana Jones has been lucky enough to witness proof of God at least FOUR SEPARATE TIMES. And yet, he hasn’t dedicated his life to Christ, Shiva, or any other deity. Why not, Indy?? youtu.be/LJkMWj7QGcA

While he cavorts on US television and keeps the legislature on pause until mid-April, Ford has failed to provide a funding agreement to his much-touted HART Hub in Guelph. Meanwhile, the CTS is set to close in 20 days. Lives will be lost. www.guelphtoday.com/local-news/w...

Not sure I've ever seen a more obvious picture to remind us that police exist to protect the property of the ruling class, not the rights of the people.

The United States government just disappeared a lawful US resident because it didn't like his speech. You should care about this because it shouldn't happen to anyone, but you should also care because it could happen to you. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/09/n...

for a year we were led to believe campus protests were pointless: a form of privileged play-acting. now they’re so politically impactful that organizers are being detained and disappeared extralegally. weird!

Drag artists across Canada are teaming up to launch #DragTheVote - a national campaign to mobilize and empower queer people and allies to make their voices heard in the 2025 federal election. www.dragthevote.ca

Every time some elected democrat sucks off Reagan, I think about Duane.

the stigma that still persists cuz of the Reagan administration’s efforts is actually so insane

Parnell loves to be a bully
