Well, well, well... the troll who crashed the peaceful protest for Ukraine outside the Russian embassy the other day is a fan boy of Pierre Poilievre. No surprise there. Poilievre and the Conservatives voted against the military aid for Ukraine.

The winning party took 65% of the seats with just 43% of the vote. Meanwhile, the third-place party won over 500,000 more votes than the second-place party. First-past-the-post is broken. It’s time for proportional representation. #onpoli

43% of the vote gave Doug Ford's PCs 64.5% of the seats and 100% of the power. It's time for proportional representation! www.fairvote.ca/28/02/2025/p...

People make rational choices based on money and time. If people do not find off-peak hours reliable or convenient, they won’t use it. So demand is low because frequency is too low. Other cities have fixed low-ridership by making public transit better. www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

We managed to get some data from the survey of the Bank Street Transportation Study. It's very clear that most responders want less space for parking, and more space for better transit!

Just a friendly reminder to please go out and vote today, if you haven't yet! The 2022 election had the lowest turnout for an Ontario provincial election, let's not repeat that this year. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

“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

The Nazi salute should’ve been reason enough, but now the US is going to cut Ukraine’s access to Starlink if it won’t hand over critical minerals. What happens when the US wants northern Ontario’s resources? If Doug Ford really wants to “Protect Ontario,” he needs to #CancelStarlink now. #OnPoli

On the eve of the Ontario Provincial election, remember that Doug Ford took about an hour to go back on his commitment to tear up the Starlink deal when the tariffs were delayed. Because that's who he really is, willing to sell out Ontario to anyone for a buck. #onpoli #canpoli #VoteFordOut

I, like many other Canadian millennials, started listening to Raffi at a very young age. I see no point in stopping now. #FightFascism #NeverConservative #EmpathyIsResistance
