“Toronto’s bike-lane expansion program is going full steam ahead despite the Doug Ford provincial government’s legislation limiting the city’s powers. According to a new proposal, city staff are recommending a $28.5-million project to build over 12 kilometres of new bike lanes.” Good. Keep going.

"In December, Auditor General Shelley Spence revealed that the province spent a total of $103.5 million on advertising in the previous year... Much of the language used in the publicly funded ads mirrored talking points used by Doug Ford and the Progressive Conservative Party..." $103. Million.

Doug Ford needs to cancel Ontario’s contract with Starlink now. Absolutely solidarity with Ukraine but also to avoid it being used as a bargaining chip by Musk and Trump against Canada. Right now, Premier Ford.

Very bad. Looks like a purge of anyone that would say "no" to him. Especially bad omen if he uses military force to coerce or, worse, invade us.

This alone should be grounds for terminating Ontario’s contract with Starlink immediately.

The last few days should put to rest the idea that Trump can be managed with the right combination of flattery and acquiescence. Zelensky made a series of reasonable and credible efforts to get Trump onside. He basically followed the playbook for how Trump ought to be managed. And, look:
