Put another way, Ford wants to spend more on removing bike lanes in Toronto ($48M) than he's spent protecting all of Ontario's businesses from an international trade war. Ontario deserves serious leadership, that follows through on promises, and actually puts people before profits.

Now Brad Bradford has the Bathtub Goat lady on his team. Man, the endorsements keep coming!
Newsflash: Donald Trump is a train wreck.
I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings
Hopefully, Auger-Aliassime can benefit from Ljubicic's pro and coaching experience, and after some pretty mediocre results both with and after firing Frederic Fontang, it's time for a new voice. Great hire.
Felix Auger Aliassime has added Ivan Ljubičić as his new coach. Ivan is a former World No. 3 and also worked as a coach for Roger Federer from 2016 till his retirement in 2022. Exciting change. 👀 Source: www.thetimes.com/sport/tennis...
Take a few minutes and enjoy Seth Meyers as he highlights MAGA Republicans' abject humiliations and self-owns in trying to take down Jack Smith. From Eric Schmitt to Darline Graham to -- you guessed it -- Ted Cruz, they fully beclowned themselves. youtu.be/RotCje2J5Ik?...

Brad Bradford's campaign is using an app that offers rewards for uploading contact info and generates fake AI quotes for social media. And when questioned, Bradford lied about it. #topoli #toronto www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/28/i...
Bradford calls CNO reporting of AI app rewards ‘inaccurate.’ Here’s the recording proving our reporting
Canada’s National Observer has decided to publish the segment of the Zoom call that corroborates its reporting.

Being the focus of Donald Trump's demented rage is a badge of honour. Let's hope we see more countries follow Canada's example and stand up to the cowardly old imbecile. #Canada #EpsteinFiles

No matter what happens in the 2026 midterms -- or even the 2028 presidential election -- Canadians will never trust the United States the way it used to. The north remembers. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/29/o...

One of U.S. President Donald Trump's trade advisers is threatening repercussions for Canada if it "interferes" in the upcoming midterm elections — though it's not clear what he anticipates the country...

"The Beclowning of Eric Schmitt". Hang it in the Louvre.
Perhaps Senator Eric Schmitt was a little too hawkish during his questioning of Jack Smith today. After accusing the former special counsel of perjury over whether he’d been at a Hawks basketball game, Schmitt was hit with an awkward moment of live fact-checking.
Jack Smith: “it’s inconceivable to me how you can pardon people who beat police officers… and then vilify the officers”
This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇
Beclowning oneself is the only thing any Republican excels at.
🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:
New rule: all global conflicts now have to be fought like this.

Trump on Canada: "They have been one of the worst countries in the entire world"
A feel-good story for New York and #TennisSky. Mayor Mamdani helps refurbish tennis courts in the Bronx. 👏🗽🎾
Last month, we refurbished 10 tennis courts in Crotona Park — the only public tennis courts in the Bronx with lights for night play. We stopped by recently to see how things were going. Thank you to NYJTL, USTA and Yonex for helping us deliver high-quality public spaces that New Yorkers deserve.
Hope U.S. voters are aware of what Republicans are posting ahead of the November election. Champagne and gold for the GOP while people struggle to pay for food and healthcare. Real "Last Days of Versailles" shit. #uspoli
wow why is trump failing so hard? (it's actually video and includes Trump)
For anyone who missed it, here's Andre Agassi eviscerating the whiner in the #LaverCup trophy ceremony (courtesy of the /tennis subreddit). "Waaa, I'm the third best player in the world, I suck ..." 😂😂😂
Andre Agassi taking the piss out of the asterisk guy in the most public of ways is giving me life. 😄 #LaverCup
Team Europe takes the #LaverCup. Sunday's matches were a bit anticlimactic after the wild Saturday that peaked with Carlos Alcaraz's spectacular win over Taylor Fritz. But overall, another extremely entertaining event, one which many fans -- e.g., me -- look forward to every fall.
Andre Agassi to Learner Tien: "Every time you get it up on his forehand you get a look, assuming he even makes it." Hard to imagine that kind of disdain for Alcaraz, Sinner, Federer, Nadal, et al. The asterisk is real. #LaverCup
Geezus, listening to the Team Europe bench banter between games at the #LaverCup and Asterisk is *such* a whiner. Seems to be complaining that Learner Tien is -- gasp! -- trying to win. It's always something with this guy.

Mixed feelings about this Team Europe doubles win. Great effort by Flavio Cobolli and Jakub Mensik to take down Taylor Fritz and Alex DeMinaur, but it now puts that unsavory asterisk of a player in position to clinch the #LaverCup. Emblematic of the times we live in, I guess.
Grateful that CBC Gem streamed the Billie Jean King Cup finals tourney. Great run by Czechia 🇨🇿 in running the table 🥰. Sorry Ukraine 🇺🇦 😥. Barbora Strychova joins Billie Jean King, Chrissie Evert, and Margaret Court as the only women to win Fed Cup/BJK Cup as a player and as a team captain.
Maybe would have meant more to Ukraine but clearly the best team in the world won the #BJKCup. Czechia is a wrecking ball of a team and deserves all the plaudits being sent their way. 💪🇨🇿🎾
Linda Noskova secures victory for Czechia in the BJK Cup. She wins 6-3, 7⁷-6⁵ vs Elina Svitolina, and the Czechs raise the trophy for the 12th time and the first time since 2018 None of their matches even needed doubles 🇨🇿 2-0 🇮🇹
This right here. Free Palestine AND Israel from the men who perpetuate violence so they can cling to power.
I’ll do you one better than Free Palestine. I want a two state solution with Israel freed from Bibi and Ben Gvir and Palestine freed from Hamas. Is that what you all mean by Free Palestine bc unless you specify, I think you just like being popular.🤷🏻♀️
