Musk's week:
1. Endangerment finding and tailpipe standards repeal will tank regulatory credits, about 40% of Tesla 2024 profits
2. Lose $243M judgment against autopilot
3. They can't find 12 people in California who don't hate him

Why not talk about how much funding has been taken out since the 1990s with Harris? Starting the underfunding argument in 2018 moves the Overton window right and prevents people from seeing a bigger politcal economic picture. #onpoli #onted

So..... how's YOUR week going so far?

The City of Hamilton has launched its first-ever online reporting tool which allows citizens to inform the City of issues
The citizen service integration project has taken 14 years to finally reach this point. #hamont #yhmcc

The face of someone who's royally fucked.

This really is a great picture:

NDP leadership candidates take part in debate in B.C. – February 19, 2026 YouTube video by cpac

@ndp.ca debate going on right now.

A literal War on Children

If there's a "war on" anything in North America, it's affordable, safe and clean transportation options. #HamOnt

The Linc is currently closed and Rymal is barely yellow at intersections. 🤷

YouTube video by Matt Grande A brief bit about Jimmy Thompson Pool

Sad that this #HamOnt historic gem is victim of such neglect.
This @mattgrande.bsky.social's short piece on Jimmy Thompson pool is great.

The core's community infrastructure continues to degrade, due to the city's massive $340 million recreation deficit. It's one of the most under-reported issues in the #HamOnt and I appreciate @alexwilson96.bsky.social raising it in budget comments today. 👇

Reminder: The $88M spent to relieve 5 km of Rymal Rd motorists of using their brake pedals during rush hour, could build Barton/Tiffany 18 times over, housing over 1440 unhoused people. #HamOnt

“refuses to” would have been more accurate than “can’t”.

Ontario accounts for half of Canada’s $2.2 trillion annual GDP and it’s government can’t keep public libraries from collapsing into drug consumption sites. Sickening.

We were told to scrub "biodiversity" from our websites because of this shit.

Hamilton sets new record for opioid overdose calls — again Between January 2017 and 2025, the monthly overdose call average was 44.89. January 2026 more than tripled that

This is grim news and a direct result of the terrible decisions made by the Province in 2024 that increased the toxic drug supply and closed safe consumption sites. The Premier was told this would happen, by the Auditor General no less, and did it anyway. #HamOnt www.thespec.com/news/hamilto...

Hey #HamOnt! This is NOT going to be an event you want to miss!

My Interview With Avi Lewis, Candidate for Leader of the Federal NDP I met Avi Lewis 30 years ago when he was a journalist working at CityTV in Toronto, while I worked across the street in the National Film Board building.

"I don’t believe we need to spend 2% of our GDP on military spending, as we need that money for other things, including the climate emergency . . . The idea that we should now move to 5% of GDP is a destructive and nihilistic fantasy, pouring fuel on the climate fire."

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Good piece. After 45 years of neoliberalism, Canada really needs politicians with C.D. Howe levels of moxie.
