Big Brave “Captain Canada” #DougFord in #Ontario 🤣 “When you have a premier who is running away from the people, you got a big problem, and that's where we're at right now. Doug Ford doesn't want to be asked the difficult questions, not by the media and not by the opposition,” Stiles said.

Ford government staging official announcements without inviting reporters

It's crazy how like what little revenue AI companies seem to be making is mostly them just cycling money between each other for different bullshit.

Ontario is facing a humanitarian crisis. People sleeping on sidewalks, open drug use, mental health crises happening in plain sight. And while this government finds billions for scandalous priorities and half-baked projects, communities are left begging for basic support.

#NewBrunswick #Canada #Science This is a huge discovery. Moncton-based company Breathe BioMedical has developed a test that can detect signs of breast cancer by analyzing breath samples in women of all breast density types. globalnews.ca/news/1200880...

Here's another nose-stretcher from the Canadian Press. Some dude claims Canada is as anti-semitic as Nazi Germany and national media give him an unquestioned platform. Isn't there someone in an editorial newsroom somewhere who asks the obvious question "Why would we repost such bullshit?"

It gets worse. This so called US rabbi, representing the facist racist US & Isreal, and who recently met with Canadian officials is calling Canada Nazi Germany. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

Nice work Doug Ford! 🤦‍♂️

A story of cause and effect: Last November, Ontario banned cities from using speed safety cameras to issue tickets. Reckless speeding immediately surged in Toronto, Ottawa, Guelph, and cities throughout the province. A 🧵 about my latest in Bloomberg (gift link)

Sigh. I do not understand why Ontarians keep electing Ford. Worst premier ever. 😕

Tyler Watt@tylerwatt.bsky.social · yesterday

Doug Ford calls himself the most fiscally responsible Premier in history. After 8 long years, Ontario’s debt is nearing HALF A TRILLION dollars. Hospitals are cutting nurses, schools are overcrowded, and 2.5 million people don’t have a family doctor. Priorities. #onpoli

And the US is adding tariffs to other countries because you claim they use forced labour? What a disgrace. And no, slavery never really ended.

Prison slavery. According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), roughly 800,000 of the nation's 1.2 million incarcerated individuals are prison laborers. ✅13th Amendment loophole-Abolishing slavery EXCEPT as a punishment for crime.

It’s not the question that should bother you. It’s why they’re asking it now. Theresa Tam has already testified before parliamentary committees more than 20 times since 2020. So if this isn’t about getting answers, what is it about?

That's all Allison and PP have: grievance politics. This so-called 'inquiry' is to appeal to the base, rile them up and create further division. Why?

Mark Gerretsen@markgerretsen.bsky.social · 3d ago

The “Allison Inquiry” feels more like a political grievance session than a genuine attempt to improve anything. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

We designed cities for cars, and we wonder why nobody walks anymore. It’s like draining the lake and wondering where the fish went.

Great Scott! Lego now has a tandem.

Tianjin's dockless bike-sharing scheme includes bicycles equipped with a child seat, turning the daily school run or grocery trip into a journey made together. It's a family-friendly feature that recognises a fundamental reality: mobility systems should work for caregivers and not just breadwinners.

You put down protective barriers to protect bike riders, and the biggest complaint is that cars are flipping and smashing into them - ruining their vehicles. I know it's a radical idea - but I think that you should know how to drive, if you're on the road.

The next time a climate change denier comes at you with that excuse:

Jimmy Carter knew .When Jimmy Carter broke with the script “AIPAC isn’t about Peace. It’s about securing US support for whatever the Israeli government wants.”

I will be doing a primer in "how to" take on the grocery chains for undermining the boycott this week on @meidascanada.ca

Another brilliant cartoon from @theomoudakis.bsky.social! #PierrePoilievre #cdnpoli

All the hysteria and rhetoric that consumed a community around these bike lanes ended and now no one talks about them and people use them (including those with mobility devices) all the time for work, school, play and everything in between. Change is hard for some people but we all adapt.
