Not the only place, we have them here too. Thy name is Conservatives.
www.cbsnews.com/news/11-year... This is what happens with Poilievre’s Stand your ground laws. Just wait, this monster will claim he felt threatened by that 11 year old boy playing a prank. Under Poilievre’s proposed law, this would be allowed. No joke, read his proposal. #NeverPoilievre #MapleMAGA
Fixed the headline. "10 provinces have reached an agreement to break interprovincial barriers for regulated professions" CBC needs to be better! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
This is excellent. Puts Smith in her full libertarian ideological context. Good reading for labour day. #abpoli #cdnpoli
Netflix is putting its money where its mouth is: 💰 $2M to back Newsom in the redistricting fight 📺 A deal for Sesame Street — new episodes and the full archive free to watch. That’s how you pick a side.
Airdrop them 15 minute city conspiracy pamphlets
EVs cut brake dust by 83% thanks to regenerative braking. That means cleaner air at pedestrian crossings, bus stops, and bike lanes. Exhaust pipes aren’t the only source, brakes matter too, even if they almost never wear out on an #EV Could this reshape how we measure urban pollution?
Reminds me of my trip to Cuba 25 years ago
Poillievre's campaign of AXE THE TAX on gasoline, actually implemented by Carney.. Well just as we the average consumer knew, the oil & gas companies are fleecing us again.. Apr 1 - Oil $78/barrel.. Gas $1.40 litre Sep 1 - Oil $68/barrel.. Gas $1.40 litre Oil is 13% cheaper but gas sure isn't
Bike math is paying virtually nothing and getting a lot in return. Car math is selling your soul to waste your life in traffic and inhale kilograms of particulate matter.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
This is a great option for Canadian schools. Stop spending $ on new computers and renting software. It comes with most of the software a student or teacher etc would need. And there is a lot of software that can be added. The main programs are on the same level of quality as anything you buy.
The same playbook from the Poilievre/Harper MAGA CON government. #cdnpoli
Policy announcements I'd love to hear in tandem with a mass return to office: - congestion pricing - GO full system electrification/ten minute frequency - bike infrastructure rollout focusing on suburban commute routes Unfortunately the province forbids Toronto from implementing any of these.
Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Remember how the CBC & corporate media pumped this grifting far right bozo up as Captain Canada during an early election -- called mid-winter as part of his voter suppression scheme? 😡 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
He sounds like a pervert
Americans once assumed their kids would be better off than they were. But business professor Scott Galloway says today's economic policies work to enrich Boomers and steal from younger generations.
There are just so many things wrong with this. I don’t even know where to begin.

Everything we take for granted — weekends, paid vacations, sick leave, safer workplaces, health care — exists because of unions.
The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years. CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years. But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kids’ futures. Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.

From FB... This is the real consequence of a government that can't think past their first reaction. The UCP's book ban was poorly thought out, written & executed with unintended consequences that are disastrous. Everyone saw this coming but them. #abpoli #abed #cdnpoli
A year ago today, PM Trudeau had this exchange with an Algoma steel worker. The guy refused to listen & kept throwing out arguments that made no sense. When offered a handshake, he refused. I bet Justin wakes up everyday thanking his lucky stars he no longer has to deal with this shit!
Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.

If you live in Canada and believe you're immune from an Orwelian future, please be aware that the Edmonton School District just banned 200 books, including six of mine, from its school libraries.

So PP is shooting blanks. AGAIN! Or is it, still? #cdnpoli
Fuck this lunatic
Most transparent government in Nova Scotia's history. Take a bow voters. #nspoli
This clip is WILD! Not only does Smith concede that schools boards have been doing a good job of keeping inappropriate materials out of schools… She also makes it clear that she wants to be the moral arbiter of what kids can read. With no background in education. #abpoli

It's not journalism. It's just writing stuff down that somebody said.
Why do we think business owners are experts on anything. Any idiot can start a business. I have a business.
Also, context. Is that a big increase relative to what we are spending now? Which public servants are getting this money? How does our spending compare to other countries?

No more Crown Royal for me. They would rather sell to Americans than keep jobs in Canada. I put them on the same list as Wayne Gretzky wines. Thanks but no thanks. Btw... there are so many great Canadian whiskies to choose.
Starbucks CEO pay: $96 MILLION Starbucks worker pay: $15,000 Coca-Cola CEO pay: $28 MILLION Coca-Cola worker pay: $14,000 CEOs used to make like 20x the average worker. In 2024, the average CEO earned 632x more. The system is rigged.
Ha, perfect. I called it "humiliation" when writing about not finding a washroom open in Toronto last week. That's exactly what it is, every elected official humiliating their constituents.

New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.
We should all be so lucky that PP have more off time
Guns and religion. Those aren’t solutions, they are the problems.
If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: —Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings —More guns don't make us safer —A majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.
For fuck sakes. TALK TO A FUCKING ENERGY ECONOMIST ABOUT LNG. Your "business case" laugh lines are bloody ignorant. #PnPCBC
Frey: "We need an assault weapons ban nationwide. We need to have a high capacity magazine ban. And if the federal govt and states aren't gonna act, give us the ability to protect our constituents. Give mayors & council members the ability to protect in Mpls 435,000 residents that call Mpls home."
There is genuine mismanagement, and then there is Ford underfunding school boards and then blaming the trustees for not balancing their books (on the backs of special needs children primarily), and he doesn't differentiate between the two while he centralises authority over education.
Free advertising for his real boss, Harper
But I thought all gun owners were 100% law abiding all the time. That’s what I’ve been told.
It will never be enough

“What we are seeing in Alberta is as extreme as we’ve seen in the southern United States and other centers of book banning” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
Yup. Exactly
To uphold the law, we must break the law. Conservative mentality.
Common knowledge. Stephen Harper tried it, and it failed. Didn't move the needle one bit. Correct. Proven time and time again. PP, along with the media. Are going to use it for a political football again. Right now. At this time. Crime. Is the LEAST of our problems in society. #cdnpoli Stupid.

There. It. Is: "Renewables might now be cheaper than fossil fuel in the vast majority of cases, but this makes them less attractive to capital, not more. Fossil fuels are uncompetitive and highly profitable. Renewables are highly competitive and not very profitable."
Resource rich. Revenue poor.
Kimchi grilled cheese sandwich has been my go to struggle meal these past couple weeks and let me just say... it's top. Minimal effort, super tasty, and kind of a no brainer considering how much melted cheese is usually on top of a lot of Korean bar foods.
