Tired: Blaming voter apathy for election results. Wired: Asking yourself what about our electoral system leads to voters being apathetic.

CBC News projects a Terence Kernaghan win in London North Centre and a Peggy Sattler win in London West, keeping those ridings with the NDP. #LdnOnt #Onpoli

I think about this headline all of the time.

I will NOT listen carefully. I do NOT accept your menu changes

Feeling kinda silly that I never tried to take over America. It looks so easy.

The 2025 Mets want to be gayer than ever and I’m a fan

Pedro Pascal responding to transphobia on social media: “I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist.” (via @charliejane.bsky.social) [capitalfm.com]

“My vote doesn’t matter.” In 2022, 56.5% of Ontarians didn’t vote. Doug Ford won a majority because 18% of Ontarians voted PC. “I don’t know what the issues are.” Talk to people you trust to find out. “It doesn’t matter who wins.” It matters very much to someone you care about. #OnPoli

"It's just sports, what does it matter?"

Released on this day in 1978 (24 Feb), the GENESIS single "Follow You Follow Me", which became their first major hit. This is the music video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyDR...

🗳 Ontario Election 2025: The Best Strategic Vote is for Proportional Representation! 🗳 The platforms are out—here’s where Ontario’s major parties stand on proportional representation and a Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform: 🧵👇

What a fantastic turnout for our Women’s Canvass! Thanks to everyone who came out and showed the power of women in #LdnWest to rally support and get out the vote. #LdnOnt #ONYourSide

Doug Ford wants to do away with a minimum price for alcohol at the LCBO as Ontario struggles with a healthcare crisis. Guess what cheaper booze leads to? A greater burden on the healthcare system. Also, illness and death. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Ontario PCs have released their platform. Without hyperbole or partisanship, this “plan” will cause people to die. It is heartbreaking that so many people are good with that. #onpoli

This is important: A prospective Ford government has signalled its intention to expand prisons and put homeless people in jail rather than build the housing that people need and that is their fundamental right. I don't want a province that makes people homeless then throws them in prison.

As most Canadians struggle to make ends meet, the Liberal frontrunner demonizes the ‘far-left’ and plans to cut taxes for the most wealthy. Mark Carney copies Pierre Poilievre’s playbook with a rightward turn. ricochet.media/politics/mar... #CanadaVotes2025 #cdnpoli #Trump

On housing, Ontarians have clear choices PCs & Libs: more support to private developers, little help to co-ops and non-profits, weak rent controls NDP & Greens: government-led housing development, support to co-ops and non-profits, strong rent controls www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Me: excuse me where's your restroom Salesman: It's for customers only Me: [doing the pee dance] ok I will have one ford explorer please

Wish I were one of Elon's kids so I'd never see him again

Not me but my cousin with the same name--making all of us proud! caseyhouse.ca/casey-award/...

Kevin O'Leary AND David Frum?! WTF.

I know it’s a meaningless Spring training game with a lot of call ups but it’s still fun to see a big 9th inning. #bluejays

“Motivated by nothing more than hate and cruelty “

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

@tabletopgenesis.bsky.social Have you seen this? www.mojo4music.com/articles/sto...

It’s a busy Saturday in the campaign office! Huge thanks to this amazing group of volunteers for showing up, knocking on doors, and getting people out to vote early on the last day of advance polls! Make your plan to vote at OntarioNDP.ca/vote to keep #LdnWest orange! #LdnOnt

Elon Musk is a bandit. And Doug Ford just signed $100 million deal with him. Meanwhile he and Trump are trying to crush the people of Ukraine. Doug Ford says it's the "best bang for the buck." No Doug, this is what vichy collaborators do. Slava Ukraini

Daily Walkoff ⚾️ Blue Jays #176 "Pitching Pros" 🟡🟢🟢🟡 🟢🟢🟢🟢🚀 dailywalkoff.com Robert Ray and Robbie Ray are two different people. I was not aware.

There is a Blue Jays baseball game today!

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

@metalollie.bsky.social hey!! Good to see you here. Hope you’re doing okay and avoiding more trips to the hospital.

Ontario NDP have released their platform: www.ontariondp.ca/platform?aki... #onpoli

Canadians on here actually being like "I can't believe how bad things are getting in the US" without acknowledging Alberta just passed some of the harshest anti-LGBTQ+ laws and are about to vote Doug Ford back into power. Wakeup because the far right are in inside the building
