We should emulate Finland and scale severe speeding tickets to people’s income.

Jimmy Thomson@jameswsthomson.com

The fines should be ruinously expensive for drunk driving your $100k sports car at 120 km/h in a 50 km/h zone. Yet here, the cops brag that in total it'll come to "at least $2,400" and that the speed fines themselves only account for about $350 of that. www.castanet.net/news/Vernon/...

ICYMI: BC Conservative leader 1) Stood by his campaign manager with (MULTIPLE) Islamophobic posts 2) Ignored Muslim community calls to condemn Islamophobia 3) Says he "doesn't tolerate hate" but keeps candidate who likens 2SLGBTQ+ community to pedophiles

How did the BC Conservative leader address the extreme views in his party during this week’s debate? Doerkson said that he “will always stand up against hate,” but did not elaborate as to how. New from @rumneeek.bsky.social pressprogress.ca/how-did-the-...

By rights, each post in this thread should be nail in the coffin of Brad Bradford’s campaign. Great work, @nationalobserver.com.

This morning — following two investigations into Toronto mayoral candidate Brad Bradford's use of an app that rewards supporters for posting AI-generated comments and sharing contacts — Bradford called our reporting "inaccurate." We're now releasing the recording that proves our reporting.

One good(?) thing about being an old nerd is that someone makes this error/intentional mis-statement every year and now I could spot it happening from 100 metres away through a blizzard.

Matt Elliott@graphicmatt.com

To do the math here you first have to fix a basic error: Bradford’s 2026 figure includes the rate budget (garbage, water, parking) but his 2011 figure does not. Real numbers: $9.4 billion in 2011; $16.6 billion in 2026. Now account for ~800K population growth and ~40% inflation.

BREAKING: Americans discover Donald Trump press conferences without sound exactly how press should have been covering him all along.

I am old enough to remember Richard Nixon. What he did was criminal, but basically more stupid than anything. He didn't hurt American citizens. He was just paranoid. Compare to Trumpy who has cost everyone so much, it's not even a fair comparison. Trumpy makes billions while all of us suffer.
