Ontario voted for continued decline in health care, education, smart infrastructure, and competence, but an increase in places to buy booze. And the Ontario Liberals choosing Bonnie Crombie was an absolute self-immolation.

We'll see what overall turnout was like, how much of it was vote splitting, etc., but basically it's just more of the same. Ford will continue to wreck healthcare and education and engage in massive corruption. Plus ça change.

The United States is no longer an ally and President Donald Trump is a “fascist” who should be banned from entering Canada for the G7 leaders’ meeting in June, according to Canada’s New Democratic and Green parties.

Inevitability of change. Within the next few months, OPP/MTO/EMS will all be switching from the current Bell Fleetnet system to a LMRN system that's encrypted. As such, they won't be able to be monitored, and in turn - their absence will leave a giant hole in the scanner stream.

For three years, the people of Ukraine have fought with extraordinary courage in the face of Russia’s brutal and unjustified invasion. They alone have the right to determine what is best for their long-term security. Canada stands with Ukraine. Slava Ukraini!

Once again: Nazi punks fuck off

Last week, the federal government proposed changes to CBC’s mandate requiring all news and information “must be created and shared in an impartial way” Do we really want CBC to be “impartial” on questions like annexation, Charter rights, human rights or democracy? www.canada.ca/en/canadian-...

I, for one, am not reassured by the fact the German extreme right only got 20 percent. The acceptable number of German far-rightists is zero. The 1930s taught us that.

If you live in Ontario, a concrete thing you can do to protect Canadian interests from American encroachment or straight up invasion is to vote out Ford. He is on the record as happy that Trump was elected and has given $100 million contract to Elon Musk. Vote him out!

MUSK LOSES BIG IN GERMANY Germany’s CDU/CSU wins big, while the far-right AfD underperforms in second—despite backing from Elon Musk and JD Vance. AfD is now likely to be completely shut out of the governing coalition.

A Delta flight carrying ~80 passengers from Minnesota appears to have crash landed at Toronto Pearson Airport. No casualties reported as of this time. Numerous photos and videos have been released showing passengers safely exiting the plane, which flipped upside down. At least 8 people injured.

“Despite the demands of Trump, Leavitt, and Big Brother, the AP is not changing their style to suit the whims of a would-be tinpot dictator. And by defying Trump, the AP has created a rallying point for other organizations and individuals to find their spines and defy him as well.”

For the morning crowd, my @xtramagazine.com column: Be wary of Doug Ford’s ‘Captain Canada’ claims #canqueer #cdnpoli

PEC - Report of 2 garbage dumpsters on fire behind Bar Burrito on George Wright Blvd, Picton.

PEC - Report of a single veh mvc, veh into a hydro pole. Area of 556 Cty Rd 3. Injuries reported.

Throughout the video Doug always mentions America first. Made in America. God bless America. Fortress Am Can. And even uses Trump's "Golden Age" trope. Weird. It's almost as though Doug's maybe a little bit MAGA and not a lot Canadian.

Quinte West - Report of a single veh mvc, WB 401 near marker 523. Reported to be a rollover with one person trapped.

Tyendinaga - Report of a single veh mvc, Shannonville Rd near Cross Rd.

For the 2024-25 school year, Doug Ford has cut millions from public education in Ontario – $1,516.91 per student, when compared to 2018-19 funding levels according to the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario. In Lanark–Frontenac–Kingston, that's a cut of $22.1 million for our local schools 🥲

Quinte West - Report of a person struck by a veh, area of Old Hwy 2 near Whites Rd. Fire, OPP, and EMS en route.

Has anyone asked Alaska whether they would like to become the 11th province?

I failed to mention it earlier, but look who returned home today. They passed over our area just after 12:30 pm. (Hint, big and yellow.)

Now Postmedia columnists are policing our motivations for finding a sense of national unity. Even in a moment where we found common ground as Canadians by finding a common enemy, these assholes are trying to create discord by questioning your patriotism. Fuck you.

WB lanes of the 401 being shut down due to a transport on fire east of Shannonville and west of Hwy 49. There's some talk about closing the EB lanes as the smoke is drifting across the highway.

Insight on Elon Musk: How do you deal with a megalomaniac with unlimited wealth who does not give a damn about anyone other than himself on the planet and only care about getting to Mars? Discussion btwn @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social & @karaswisher.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

Belleville - Report of a possible structure fire, area of 58 Henry St.

It's a good bet there will be lots of chatter here once the snow starts in PEC. bsky.app/profile/coun...

Frankford - Report of a 17yr old male injured on the ice and not responding normally. EMS and fire tiered. Possibly a severe head injury.

The U.S have done and pissed off all of Canada.

I noticed a lot of Canadian unions and labour orgs have been creating Bluesky accounts recently Here’s my work-in-progress starter-pack of Canadian labour movement accounts for you to follow on Bluesky:

Neo-Nazis appeared in Lincoln Heights (metro Cincinnati) Ohio and got ran out of dodge… but not before locals stole and burned their swastika flag in the street.
