I still remember a poem I saw on a Vancouver bus as a kid. I think it went, The summer that I was nine Could there have only been one summer that I was nine? It was a good poem, and it made a daft young man standing on a bus think about life in a different way vancouversun.com/news/poetry-...

The NHL has gone out of their way to kill a great game. They treat fans with abuse. If you need to watch a game - find a pirate network. If you find a pirate network share the links. Only a sucker would pay into this corporate abuse. Better yet support women's hockey. So much better.

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you really should watch and share this excellent news story. Ford LIES that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. Remember and share this as Ford tears out Toronto bike-lanes.

Annex businesses tell Ford to back off Bloor bike lanes

Stores in the Annex say the Bloor bike lanes have been a big boost to business. As Michelle Mackey reports, the neighborhood's BIA wants the province to back off its new bill that could see the lanes removed.

This impression is wildly accurate @nbcsnl.bsky.social

Construction trucks leaving Bloor and Islington area after being successfully deterred from starting work on removing bike lanes in Toronto by a large protest.

I'm betting that a lot of people who respond to polls saying they feel more unsafe in Toronto now are conflating the feeling of "I am physically unsafe and under threat in my environment" with "there was a homeless man on the sidewalk on my way to the Eaton Centre and I don't want to see that."

Doug Ford is ripping out bike lanes in Toronto starting next week. This will make our street less safe, add pollution to our cities and make congestion worse, not better. Join the thousands of people fighting to reverse Doug Ford's bike lane ban: gpo.ca/bikelanes

Danielle Smith is a weak leader for the province and within her own separatist party. A proud Canadian would never allow a separatist to remain in their party.

Good advice!! Make noise. It's long. Read it!

The PM's statement that Canada is mapping out scenarios for US military violence is a game changer. There is no pretending that things will somehow go back to normal as long as the White House believes it can threaten violence against neighbours. charlieangus.substack.com/p/a-reminder...

A REMINDER OF WHAT IS AT STAKE

Recent polls show that as many as 72% of Canadians believe that a military invasion from the United States is a real possibility.

Found near Caen, France, close to where Canadian forces fought during Operation Totalise in August 1944, this helmet is a powerful reminder of the Canadians who gave their lives for Europe. Today, it has began its journey back home.

Holy shit this kid absolutely DECIMATES Flock at her local Santa Clarita public council meeting. Just 🔥 leaves burning wreckage in her wake. What a fucking badass.

The last time the Americans tried to claim Lake Ontario in 1813, we intentionally lured them into Fort York and then blew up our entire gunpowder magazine to kill as many Americans as possible. A foundation part of Toronto history is "blowing our own fort to smithereens rather than being American"
