Speed cameras are simply a tax grab! We support building road infrastructure to decrease speeding and increase safety! You mean like bike lanes? Except for bike lanes. The Ford government is not making a good faith argument here. Any interview with them on this subject, should reflect that.

Residents are vocal in demanding speed enforcement cameras in their neighbourhoods because cameras work to reduce speeds, increase safety, and contribute to a sense of security for everyone using roads and sidewalks. Removing them will make cities more dangerous places.

You know what would be cool. If there was a news outlet that tracked the popular pundits and commentators and saw how often they were right.

Petty, petty, tacky people. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Well that’s the CBC for ya.

David Common just shat the bed interviewing Ontario's Solicitor General re speed cameras. Michael Kerzner: Tax grab! DC: Taxpayers don't pay for speeding tickets, speeders do. MK: Tax grab! DC: Not according to the TPS and Hospital for Sick Kids. MK: Tax grab! DC: OK. Let's move on.

New crisis comms firm just dropped, but this one has former Police Chief/failed mayoral candidate Mark Saunders and lil’ Mikey Ford.

Destroy car dealerships and you save US democracy

If I ran a transit agency in a country that fought alongside Germany in the war but now leans heavily on the story that they were victims of the Nazis, maybe I wouldn’t go with a stylised lighting bolt as logo. But that’s just me

If you use a car when you go shoplifting by smashing through the shop windows and grabbing stuff as you drive through at 50mph, killing bystanders, does Doug Ford support your right to shoplift and demand the removal of in-store cameras?

We had to know The Man Show dude wasn't going to be the ideal free speech martyr.

Media elites consider morals and beliefs a matter of aesthetics. Joe Rogan is a moderate to Kimmel because their social circles overlap and it would be disruptive to name him as the hate-mongering cryptofascist he really is.

Of all the numbskull political debates we have to endure, this one is the numbskulliest. And, of course, it’s Doug Ford who has championed Team Numbskull.

something that's cool with this admin is basically anyone can say whatever about anything because there is no coherent messaging control and so you get the Treasury Secretary undercutting Article 5 while SECSTATE/APNSA talks about economic policy and the commerce secretary announces new visas

Charlie "Kirk" McCarthy(ism) has me thinking about Edgar Bergen's dummy which makes me laugh.

To a great degree we’re dealing with the fallout from a generation of men who got lucky once during a specific moment in tech evolution, made to feel as gods, but are all now suffering their mid-life crises having accomplished nothing else of note. These men have made nothing other than money.

Stuff like this does not make a compelling case for transit. I do suspect, though, that it isn’t only making transit better that helps - it’s that driving also has to get worse? An extra 10-15 minutes etc. is fine. But almost three times as long? It’s almost always like this

Peter Thiel giving lectures about the antichrist is just another illustration of the fact that the most dangerous thing about billionaires is that they exist in a world where nobody tells them their stupid ideas are stupid and are therefore prone to inflict their stupid ideas on all of us.

This makes zero sense. "It is logistically not doable. And if it was doable, then what would we learn from this? We know that heat causes people to die.” Ontario chief coroner, Dr. Dirk Huyer www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

No, but they can learn.

Ford to pedestrians: "Drop Dead" www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

"... the cameras are unpopular with some..."

The utter confidence in which he states this is... peak privileged white guy.

How it started // How it’s going

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

And if the MAGA crowd can’t handle jokes, maybe they should turn off the TV and go cry into their MyPillows.

An ethically challenged Mulroney. Whaddya know.

I'd say it's clear now that Roberts is the worst CJ in American history. Taney is the only competition but Roberts has done more damage

Anything less than a full on Howard Beale from Kimmel and I'll be disappointed...

Thank you, Scott. One of the downstream effects of a history soaked in white supremacy and its hierarchies, is the inability to conceive that genetic variation is value free. Folks engaging in the EXACT same reasoning that held bloodlines equaled competence in power, and don’t even know it.

What does that mean exactly?

On this historic National Tylenol Causes Autism Day, the "RFK Jr makes some good points" people have been officially upgraded from assholes to extra-strength assholes.

I just can’t believe the Ontario PC’s could have had a criminal in their caucus

Look, if the targets for EVs made in Canada need to be scrapped, the least we can do is allow EVs from foreign manufacturers into the country. Isn't that how the market is meant to stimulate competition and innovation?

Canadian tech bros: Gotta move to SF to maximize our revenue potential. Good fucking riddance.

"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.

the biden administration suspecting and proving that homan would take a bribe and then being unprepared to take the next step and just letting him walk away with $50k for doing nothing is so on the nose it just doesnt feel real

I used to think there was something futile and naive about when people would tweet something like "it should have ended here" with this pic. But it's still true. Hard to think of a public figure in living memory who was worse as a person, let alone a leader, figurehead etc.

Still somehow have the capacity to be shocked by Trump. I may not exactly be a Biden booster, but given the post-Kirk reaction, to have him say the former president is mean and stupid and one shouldn't feel bad for him etc. is just bananas. Nothing means anything, no rules apply etc etc.

Just as Charlie would have wanted

And then, in its morning newsletter, the NYT has a couple stories on Denmark's mistreatment of women from Greenland. What do you think the sudden interest is about?
