YouTube video by MP Mark Gerretsen Thank you, Justin. Please watch and share!

As we go into an election more likely than ever to experience foreign interference,
🇨🇦Canadian media need to start asking piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre relentlessly about why he refuses to get security clearance or even security briefings.
Just watch this:
🧐

Mark Carney has been the Prime Minister for a few hours. He has obtained his security clearance.
Pierre Poilievre has been the leader of the conservative party and the opposition leader for several years. Poilievre still does not have his security clearance.

Health in Canada: a pivotal political moment. Canada must fiercely defend the integrity of its cherished universal health-care system. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... via @thelancet.bsky.social

Hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leaders of the free world stand united in London

The United States is not among them

The summit in London has begun.

European and NATO leaders have gathered to discuss the future of humanity and Ukraine, without the United States. This is the largest reconfiguration of nations since World War 2.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

He’s right again.

ABA It has been three weeks since Inauguration Day. Most Americans recognize that newly elected leaders bring change. That is expected. But most Americans also expect that changes will take place in accordance with the rule of law and in an orderly manner that respects the lives of affected individuals and the work they have been asked to perform. Instead, we see wide-scale affronts to the rule of law itself, such as attacks on constitutionally protected birthright citizenship, the dismantling of USAID and the attempts to criminalize those who support lawful programs to eliminate bias and enhance diversity. We have seen attempts at wholesale dismantling of departments and entities created by Congress without seeking the required congressional approval to change the law. There are efforts to dismiss employees with little regard for the law and protections they merit, and social media announcements that disparage and appear to be motivated by a desire to inflame without any stated factual basis. This is chaotic. It may appeal to a few. But it is wrong. And most Americans recognize it is wrong. It is also contrary to the rule of law. The American Bar Association supports the rule of law. That means holding governments, including our own, accountable under law. We stand for a legal process that is orderly and fair. We have consistently urged the administrations of both parties to adhere to the rule of law. We stand in that familiar place again today. And we do not stand alone. Our courts stand for the rule of law as well.

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.

In Canada, it’s probably going to be Carney vs Poilievre for Prime Minister, in a time of unprecedented economic and sovereignty threats from Trump.

Carney hasn’t been a politician, and is one of the most experienced and respected economic experts in the world, known for intelligence & integrity.

Let's get this circulated!! 😤

Members of Congress were just denied entry to the Department of Treasury. This is a 5 alarm fire.

The Transportation Tomorrow Survey from 2022 that Minister Sarkaria and Doug Ford were hiding has been released. It shows cycling commute mode share is up 300% in Old Toronto since 2001. Now sitting at 11.3% in Old Toronto wards (4, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14), 10x bigger than "1.2%"!

WATCH THIS: This is quite possibly still the most comprehensive interview I’ve ever done on urban transportation and better cities. Filmed in Vienna for a planned Paris-based documentary. Watch it, quote it, and please spread it around.

A line graph depicting the number of attached accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in Hamilton from 2014 to 2023. The graph displays two trends: issued building permits, shown in white, and completed building permits, shown in light green. Both lines show significant increases.

If you zone it, they will come. Trend in “Attached Accessory Dwelling Units” (planner-speak for housing units like basement apartments) since zoning/parking restrictions were removed (data and graph from new University of Toronto School of Cities report schoolofcities.github.io/gentle-densi...)

In Toronto, numbers on urban forestry: The city has removed - i.e. cut down - 26,991 trees in under three years.

That's a huge loss of mature trees. Also tens of millions spent, if not $100-million. Why exactly?

Loved this book, a great read!

Toronto fog. Not my own photo, but love the ethereal effect of suspended looming buildings.

Beautiful. Looks like a nice fluffy marble rye.
