Poor ventilation in buildings, particularly schools, can be fixed. We expect to drink clean water and eat clean food; why do we still tolerate dirty indoor air? www.smh.com.au/healthcare/i...

He's basically daring governments to expropriate at this point.

So, he is admitted to buying Stelco to destroy it on live TV. Idiot! Force divestiture of all his company's Canadian assets. He also lied in his filings and be banned for life from doing business in Canada. His shareholders must love him. If I were one of them, I'd sue the bastard into the ground.

Danielle Smith is like two degrees of separation away from having 34 felony counts and a Slovenian wife who hates her

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. What about 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

If you expensed $16,000 in hotels at your job, you’d be fired. In Doug Ford’s government, you get a raise.

In other news, please keep Doug Ford in your thoughts today as his 21-week summer break comes to a close. #OnPoli

Breaking news, tightwad Toronto homeowners: nice things cost money. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

From Lula’s victory speech. Hard to argue. 🇧🇷 “We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously large corporations earning millions and billions, paying no taxes to this country and trying to steer our election results.”

Crime is down. Toronto is objectively a safe place. Why does Bradford want us scared? www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved public transit, not only did it TRANSFORM the city’s public life and economic success, but the car traffic got better. The car traffic got BETTER.

I don't care who you vote for today, but go vote. Municipal elections have more impact on your actual life than any others. Don't be a dingbat.

This was always abundantly clear

We are approaching the warmest global surface air temperature anomaly on record (1.15C on Nov 18 2023) as record El Niño approaches peak: pulse.climate.copernicus.eu

It's time to defund Elon. robertreich.substack.com/p/defund-musk

The contrast between the rhetoric and record is particularly striking given cancelling a scheduled minimum wage increase, eliminating paid sick days, attacking collective bargaining rights, and pursuing privatization across public services. www.readthemaple.com/is-doug-ford...

Avi Lewis on C-39: "It's unnecessary, it's damaging, it attacks the rights of so many Canadians. I don't want to believe that the PM launched Bill C-39 just to achieve political peace with Danielle Smith. But if that was his motivation, then, oh, my goodness."

Mark Carney just formed an AI Council meant to provide independent advice on Canada’s AI strategy—but nearly every appointee is entangled with private interests that want to use public money for a dangerous AI buildout. Marcus Werner breaks it down. youtube.com/shorts/vqaw5...

“Russia’s engagement with Alberta separatism is covert, doctrinal, operational, and sustained.” “Several lines of evidence link Russian-aligned information infrastructure to Alberta separatist narratives.” “U.S. engagement is overt, escalating, and in some environments, converging with Russia.”

WATCH: Whether you love cars or hate cars, you should watch this new video & better understand the truth about the real costs & consequences of too many cars in our cities, & the car dependency many of us live in. You might find it hard to watch, but watch it to the end anyway. Via @notjustbikes.com

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding bikes, yet 66% of people did so while driving. And perhaps even more importantly, if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com

Avi Lewis: "The entire process was unnecessary. Nobody asked for it. Danielle Smith's career has been defined by a slow walk towards separation. All of the questions are designed to stoke division in Alberta, and she is the one who is responsible for that."

Once again, a Toronto politician named Ford is making himself known across the globe

Insidious secret Canada. This does so much to rot out trust in govt. They did it to themselves with contempt for citizens + open & transparent information.

Tommy Douglas knew then what New Democrats still know today. If we could mobilize the resources of this country to defeat Nazi tyranny, there is no reason we cannot do the same to make sure that each and every person has what they need to live a dignified life. Happy Birthday, Tommy.

The Ford Government, everyone. www.cbc.ca/news/investi...

Last night people on bikes stood up against the destruction of safe infrastructure. Tonight, we will return to bear witness and protest decisions that put the public at risk. They will try to take out the last intact lane markings tonight 1/2

"Traffic would be better if these people were in a car of their own" - Ontario voter

“Parking determines the size, shape, and cost of new buildings, the fate of old ones, the viability of mass transit, the life of public space, the character of neighbourhoods, our whole-spread-out life in which it is virtually impossible to live without an automobile.” -Henry Grabar, Paved Paradise

Carney wants to join and increase emissions. Standing up to Trump by acting just like him.

Canada can end homelessness. Even cities in the U.S. are showing it can be done. Treating housing as the first intervention in health care makes moral and economic sense, by Dr. Andrew Boozary www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... via @theglobeandmail.com #HousingFirst

I think we should still be angry when public officials lie to us. www.thestar.com/news/gta/dou...

Fucking hell, Alberta

We finally found the paid protesters Trump keeps talking about

I will say the rank cynicism of Smith demanding more provincial control over immigration when she was one of the premiers who begged for higher immigration targets just over 2 years ago is a lot to take. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Is it starting to dawn on the people of Ontario that feeding huge wads of cash into the rusty old Make Cyclists’ Lives Worse Machine doesn’t make anyone else’s life better?

A scandal built on their many scandals. After the election there needs to be a reckoning. The left is in disgrace for letting this go. The right too but one doesn’t expect much on crime from that side.

Get absolutely fucked separatists Glad we can put this in the trash finally

Remember, it’s only a waste of time and money if we don’t take this result as a mandate to relentlessly humiliate and ostracize this movement.

Shocked, SHOCKED! to see Turning Point, a “campus free speech” organization, featuring so prominently here
