Trump chickens out when faced with a room full of all the enemy-allies he has made for himself, and his inability to intimidate Carney. No one believes this is about rushing back to pay attention to the Middle East. #cdnpoli #uspoli

Okay, everyone should see this video by Molly Burke. The challenges of using public washrooms that people with vision impairments have to deal with never occurred to me but it makes total sense, and this easily implemented solution should be the standard everywhere.

Metrolinx promised this neighbourhood a new park. It still hasn’t delivered — and that’s part of a bigger problem. It’s time Metrolinx were held accountable to its word. Toronto deserves better than public agencies that can’t be relied on. #Opinion

Thinking of Shannen Koostachin. She was 13 when she stood up to the government's discrimination against Indigenous kids. She launched the largest youth rights movement in CDN history. We lost her at 15 on this night. I still cry when I talk about Shannen.She came from the angels and went home.

Imagine teachers asked for a 35% raise, to catch up with the soaring cost of living after 16 years of falling behind, and to help fix the teacher shortage. Oh, right - only Ford MPPs. #onted #onpoli #cdnpoli

It's 2025. How many more examples do we need to show people that austerity policies are ... bad? And that mutual aid at scale is called taxation? That we pay the government so that they can pool our money and invest in infrastructure?

Ontario rejected the City of Toronto’s proposed affordable housing requirements on dozens of specific properties after at least three real estate investment trusts asked them to do so, the Star has learned — with two trusts suggesting the quotas could result in no housing development at all.

Even putting aside the AI/astroturf campaign (which should already disqualify these “Save Our Streets” groups’ arguments), anyone who’s not a motorist has made due with the bare minimum for decades. So when there’s some sliver of hope like better bus service, we won’t accept anymore handwringing.

20,000 daily transit customers v 138 parking spaces. As the province continues to misrepresent bike lane usage, the #RapidTO "controversy" should make clear that there is likely no amount of cycling ridership that would appease proponents of Bill 212.

This is what killed me about all the hate for Justin Trudeau — he was giving Alberta conservatives everything they wanted! But it’s never enough and I worry Mark Carney may not see this 🫤

Wow - the “protect Bathurst/Dufferin” campaigns to block transit priority are posting fake AI videos of a guy minimizing the need, but the same face and outfit are also selling a gym, some stocks, gutter protectors… @shawnmicallef.bsky.social has the receipts […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

There are studies / illustrations that show mall parking is often farther away from the destination shop than a green p or equivalent near a street front shop.

“A review of scientific research has found that pedestrians and cyclists are 44% more likely to be killed in a collision with an SUV or light truck, compared to a passenger car. The outlook is even more dire for children, who are 82% more likely to be killed when struck by the larger vehicles.”

Today is the last day for Ontarians to comment on Bill 5, which would wipe out the the Endangered Species Act and give cabinet the power to create “special economic zones” where development can be pushed through without regard for provincial or municipal rules. #onpoli

If, my fellow Canadians, you need any further inspiration to continue to boycott all things American, and that includes actual America, it is vital that we, as a nation, collectively say “Fuck this guy.”

Universities are leaning hard into AI while the programs most important to ensuring it benefits instead of damages society are being torched. And yes, that's the social sciences and humanities.

So sick of this corrupt, incompetent government. As education and healthcare are crumbling and housing starts are the lowest they’ve been in many decades. Why aren’t Stiles or Crombie behind a lectern today railing against this?
