This jackass who lives in my building is constantly on his balcony loudly watching YouTube videos and belching and blowing his nose and drumming on the table with his knife and fork, and you just *know* he’s a Brad Bradford voter.

People talk about fall colours but never fall sounds: the vivifying report of a leaf blower at dawn, the scream-sneezes emanating from every condo balcony, the pre-Thanksgiving rundown of discussion topics to be avoided at table.
Hey look, two guys who haven't done anything useful since 1986.

I wrote about Premier Doug Ford's apparent indifference to human life for @thestar.com: www.thestar.com/opinion/star...
Graeme Bayliss: His cyclist friend was killed. Why did Doug Ford’s response include ‘lmao’?
No one is expecting the premier to mash out the Bixby letter on his iPhone. Yet we might expect more than this.

Smarties have been replaced with M&M’s in the rainbow cookies near me. If you’re going to sabotage your own product, fine, but a heads-up would be nice.
I have had ME/CFS for 20 years. I would like treatment or, even better, a cure. At the very least, I would like people to treat ME/CFS as something that demands and deserves sustained medical research.
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 3w agoHere's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
I often think about the speed camera chopping vigilante who returned to the scene of their crime on Parkside Drive multiple times but Toronto police didn’t catch them & it led to Doug Ford banning speed cameras for 16 million people & now speeding is at epidemic levels & people will die.
Brad Bradford smiles like he’s had a smile grafted onto his face and now his body is rejecting it.
I’m afraid the red party just blue itself.
Toronto Star@thestar.com · 4w ago#Breaking: The federal government will allow private ownership of four major airports — including Toronto’s Pearson, Canada’s busiest — in a move that breaks with a decades-long arrangement that saw them run by non-profits on government-owned land.
Robert Musil’s first draft of “The Man Without Qualities” was actually just a biography of Brad Bradford.
Brad Bradford is Toronto’s answer to a question no one asked.
To anyone that matters, it doesn’t matter whether or not it makes sense. All that matters is that he can do it and nothing can stop him. That is Doug’s only calculus on this, and any issue.
Catherine McKenna@cathmckenna.bsky.social · last mo.Totally agree with @theglobeandmail.com’s Marcus Gee: Where’s the common sense in Doug Ford’s decision to spend tens of millions of dollars ripping out Toronto’s bike lanes???? www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/toron...
I'm looking forward to the Toronto mayoral debate on Islamophobia that is definitely happening and about which news outlets will definitely make a big deal, for sure.
I'm worried that basing our country's entire culture on hating our country's biggest city for no reason was, in fact, a dumb fucking idea. www.thestar.com/news/gta/dou...

Shawn Micallef@shawnmicallef.bsky.social · last mo.It’s fucking bananas the amount of time this govt is spending on bike lanes. The premier & minister of transportation both made videos today. The “we’re in a trade war you negligent culture war blow hards” is correct.
I think we can all feel confident that this process will not be corrupt in the utter extreme.
Toronto Star@thestar.com · last mo.Following a victory at the Appeal Court earlier this month, the Ford government has issued a request for proposals to remove bike lanes on the city’s busiest streets.
This is incredibly stupid and embarrassing and a giant waste of money, but at least Ford was rude to a U.S. president for whom he would obviously have voted. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/09/01/t...

Weird how elected officials aren’t lining up this time to impute Islamophobic motives to the perpetrator and call this an act of Islamophobia and denounce the scourge of Islamophobic violence in Canada.
