I love international, Canadian, Ontario, and Toronto politics. I am also a Simpsons fan. If you love international and regional borders, I will love reading your posts. "Yes" to proportional representation!
@savestandard.bsky.social O Canada! BC and Yukon will be two hours ahead of Alaska. Southeastern BC (light blue) will be two hours ahead of Idaho. When one travels east from Manitoba to northwestern Ontario, the clock will move back by one hour. Newfoundland is always 30 min. ahead of the Maritimes.
Campobello Island, New Brunswick needs a helicopter pad or runway to deliver goods to the island while bypassing vehicular trips through the US. #cdnpoli
@mark-carney.bsky.social If I could change the use of the Notwithstanding Clause, I would increase the requirement to a 2/3 majority. That way, the Notwithstanding clause can't be used casually by a legislature or the Parliament of Canada. #cdnpoli
Canada will be turning Australian with the weird time zones.
One must admire Emmanuel Macron and Mark Carney for standing at attention for six minutes and facing the memorial to the Free French army in Saint Pierre and Miquelon. youtu.be/ZZGrbF-K2q4?...

@la1erelive.bsky.social I want to thank Saint-Pierre et Miquelon la 1ère for their videos. It was great seeing both French president Emmanuel Macron and Canadian prime minister Mark Carney together in Saint-Pierre. www.youtube.com/@spmla1ere/v...

French president Emmanuel Macron, and Canadian prime minister Mark Carney stand for a moment of reflection at the Memorial to the Free French volunteers in Saint-Pierre (and Miquelon).
Today is the day I post a bunch of Saint-Pierre (and Miquelon) photos.
We don't have any pedestrian streets in Mayor Olivia Chow's Toronto. #topoli
Tom Flood@tomflood.bsky.social · 2w agoPeople really love pedestrianized places.
I am happy that the Eglinton LRT line exists. I was going southbound on the Yonge line. It is closed from Eglinton to College for an incident at St. Clair. I took Yonge south to Eglinton, the west on Eglinton to Cedarvale. After, it will be to St. George and west to Dundas West. #topoli

If Canada becomes an associate member of the EU, I will need to learn Luxembourgish. That way when I talk about Donald Trump to someone, I can say "Hien ass grouss."
Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette wants special status for Quebec at Canada-EU talks. I will guess that Alberta will want the same. Perhaps they can become associate-associate members of the EU. #cdnpoli
Christine Fréchette calls on Mark Carney to grant Quebec special status within European alliance
Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette is calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to grant the province special status within the newly formed European alliance.

While "associate membership" may seem like a good designation for Canada with the EU. The latter will need to think how this affects its present and future relationship with non-EU countries like Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, and the UK.
If I could reorganize the EU parliament, I would distribute seats based on the square roots of the member countries' populations. Germany 72 France 65 Italy 60 Spain 55 Poland 48 Romania 34 Netherlands 33 Belgium 27 Czechia 26 Portugal 26 Sweden 26 Greece 25 Hungary 24 Austria 24 Continued >
@mark-carney.bsky.social A trade agreement between Canada and the EU will help businesses who want to increase trade between the two. A visa-free work permit and express customs and immigration checks for Canadians going to the EU will help get Canadians attached to any trade/mobility agreement.
Donald Trump reminds me of Doug Ford and the Ontario Science Centre building on Don Mills Road in North York. #onpoli
Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 2w agoHow not surprising that a president who acts like a petty mob boss is holding one of our nation’s treasured institutions hostage until we meet his conditions—that is, putting his stupid name on the building. I say we just put it in mothballs until he is gone.
Next Friday, we ride for safety and our bike lanes! Starting location announced next week. Stay tuned for details. #CriticalMass
Pierre Poilievre is worried that Canadian businesses may need to make their products up to EU standards. Understandable. Businesses could include some type of "EU Certified" logo on their products. For example, bread and dairy products could either be "EU Certified" or not.
Saint-Pierre-and- Miquelon: Le Select restaurant: Caesar Salad. Delicious! It goes well with Miqu'ale beer!
No wonder my friend isn't responding to my text message. 😁

Olivia Chow is promising free TTC trips after ten paid taps. That will cost users more than 40 taps per month that she promised a few months ago. Users will need on average 43.5 taps per month on the weekly plan. 1/ #topoli
@thebeaverton.com Mayor Olivia Chow refuses to participate in mayoral debate sponsored by the Dominion Society of Canada. Former mayor, John Tory, shared on Newstalk1010 radio and CP24 television that he believed that mayoral candidates should attend all debates.
I want to watch this video later.
Damien Moule@damienmoule.bsky.social · 3w agoIt's a miracle we got anything through Planning and Housing Committee this past term. Perks holds the most ridiculous caricatures of YIMBY ideas. I'm a bit aghast. I spent however hours trying to show him the regressiveness in our zoning and he wasn't listening. music.youtube.com/watch?v=g2TZ...
Someday, the United States will have President Abdul El-Sayed and Vice President Bad Bunny.
Senator Abdul El-Sayed
He would be good for Michigan and good for the United States

If Canada bans goods from West Bank settlements, does that mean no more Soda Stream? #cdnpoli
