"Doug Ford is uniquely unqualified and unsuited to be a leader for this moment. His years in office have been defined by shortages — a lack of homes, doctors, teachers, jobs, skilled workers, subways, buses, and bike lanes." #ONpoli

I have no idea why @bonniecrombie.bsky.social and team aren’t constantly saying, “Doug Ford is handing $100M Ontario taxpayer dollars to Elon Musk to help him destroy Canada.” Non-stop until election day.

Since yesterday I’ve gained ~4K followers. Hello to those of you who are real humans! Here’s a short introduction thread: I’m a public historian from Victoria, BC, Canada. Most recently, I’ve worked as a professor, museum director, researcher, and writer. /1

@ianhanomansing.bsky.social is going to be asking how we got to “Canada as the 51st state” on Sunday’s call in show. That’s easy: disinformation from the West’s enemies has been absorbed and accepted by media personalities, politicians and the general public.

Hey folks rather than quote tweeting links from Cross Country Checkup or Hanomansing, giving them engagement they so desperately crave, I'd suggest taken 3 minutes and writing to the CBC Ombudsman who will take our complaints seriously. cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/ombudsman...

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

Ontario, please vote! We can win the fight for the future of Ontario Place and the Ontario Science Centre if you vote! All 3 Opposition parties have committed to Cease the Lease for the MegaSpa; all you have to do is VOTE! #topoli #onpoli

A depressing reality is that so many of our communities are designed in a way that it's not safe for kids to just be kids.

"Um what do you want the Senate to do about it???" Brutus and Cassius were senators and they literally murdered Caesar so that'd be a good start.

Do you have your #EmergencyKit? If you have what you need to for your household to survive for 3 to 5 days in the event of a major earthquake, then you probably have what you need for most other emergencies. Get Prepared, and find useful links below. 🚨 ⚠️ 🦺 1/XX #EmergencyPreparedness #BCPoli

"The Cybertruck has a cult following in the U.S." Yes. Yes, it does.

If you’re in Ontario and are still thinking you might vote for Ford, here’s a rundown of his “accomplishments”. #OnPoli www.crankycartoons.com/blog/doug-fo...

I don’t give a fuck about hockey, except today. 🇨🇦 > 🇺🇸

ONTARIO: I voted early yesterday, did you? No lines, in and out in 5 min. Super easy to vote Ford out. Small sacrifice in time for huge gains for our Province. Lets get him gone. #FordFailedOntario

Cargo bike people: assemble‼️

My lab group is doing a research study on cargo bike users in North America. If you are a cargo bike user and have a minute to take the survey we'd love to hear from you. Or please feel free to share or repost for other cargo bike users. Many thanks! pennstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

“making the subway safe” is a dog whistle for people without an ounce of resilience. the subway is annoying. if you’re worried about safety, don’t get in a car, snowflake.

What’s that they say about the love of money?

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

$170 of groceries by bike. I own a car, but why would I use it when I don’t need it?
