the people who aren’t wealthy in rosedale aren’t buying 3+ million dollar homes in toronto…

Matt Elliott@graphicmatt.com

Saxe pushes back against Chow saying that people in Rosedale can afford this increased land transfer tax. She says not everyone in Rosedale is wealthy. She asks Chow to apologizing for painting the neighbourhood with a "broad brush."

“By the way, there’s been hundreds of thousands of these tickets. So obviously their system — the speed cameras — do not work,” declares Premier Doug Ford.

Holyday on school food programs: "It’ll be interesting when they go to their first job, on their first day, and they sit down in the lunch room, and then turn and ask where their meal is, having not been taught through their life to look after themselves and prepare a meal.”

Alex Bozikovic@alexbozikovic.bsky.social

And @diannesaxe.bsky.social has rewarded them. At this rate, it will be politically impossible to ever change any part of Toronto’s public realm from car domination. Ms. Saxe’s main issues are active transportation and climate action. If she doesn’t stand up for reform, who will?

This has always been the conundrum of the left. It is rooted in the economics of a (shrinking) white working class manual labour, but culturally grounded in metropolitan progressives. Bridging this divide in a way that builds solidarity rather than pitting them against each other is the holy grail

Update to this: York University's @schulichschool.bsky.social is also distancing itself from Jamroz, saying that although he was a volunteer mentor at the school, he has not been one for several years — and the term Jamroz used to describe his involvement, "tenured mentor," doesn't exist there.

it was never about the money economy. MAGA wants segregation and slavery

Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social

Interesting that Trump’s economic approval has fallen to basically the worst of his career and his overall approval is right around where it always is. Maybe the entire phenomenon isn’t actually about the economy? Or maybe there’s much further to fall if / when things get worse. We’re gonna find out
