Removing automated speed cameras has perhaps been Doug Ford's most "successful" act as Premier. Ford wanted drivers to be able to speed dangerously (especially through school zones) without being ticketed, and the data is crystal clear that he achieved that goal! Promises made, promises kept!

Nine months later, the impact is apparent: Outlawing Ontario’s speed safety cameras has triggered an explosion of urban speeding.

Officials in cities like Toronto, Ottawa and Guelph are reporting steep increases in drivers exceeding posted limits, often by more than 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) per hour. It’s too early to know whether the surge of speeding is also causing additional crashes and deaths, but anxieties are rising. Liraz Fridman, Guelph’s road safety supervisor, said that residents have warned her that “we have people using these streets as a racetrack.”

It may not be surprising, but it's nevertheless sad to see a Canadian newspaper trumpet Washington's call to demolish the #ICC, and siding with impunity for Putin, Netanyahu, and the Taliban. This is now part of the right's firmament, along with anti-trans politics and Residential School denialism.

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

Few days ago a massive and well coordinated campaign started in Moroccan Facebook/Instagram with message "Spain opened the borders, they let everyone in" The one responsible is unknown and even if we find the bot networks they might be 3rd world hires, a standard practice for many governments 🧵 1/6

ok i'm going to regret asking this but can anyone direct me to a not-racist or, failing that, least-racist explanation of what the hell is going on with Ceuta?
