Today’s rally in Victoria Park to oppose provincial cuts to OSAP was led by local high school students. A massive and spirited turnout despite the weather. I was honored to be invited to speak and along with others addressed the need to turn back these harmful cuts to student assistance programs.
Yes. We are encouraged to diversify so many things (diet, investments, skills) yet our short-sighted governments won’t heed this sound advice regarding energy. I haven’t forgotten that Doug Ford cancelled wind & solar projects early in his 1st term as Premier #EpicFail

Good! Keep Safe supply accessible!
We need more of these spaces and businesses. They create a neighbourhood - people want to live near these businesses.
In a world in flames, archives might seem inconsequential, yet they represent our collective memory, and their erasure also is a political act.

Camp Guards sure seem to think it’s a death camp.
Add it to the growing list of things that are more expensive for everyone because of 47.
I cannot express how much disdain I have for politicians who are helping to keep X relevant by continuing to post there like it hasn't turned into goddamn Truth Social.
But I don't know if Truth Social has ever created and distributed CSAM, so this may be an unfair comparison.
Dammit people, add alt text to your images! So many times I see awesome art or cool comics, but can't repost it, because it's not accessible.
One of the best of all time.

Happy 78th birthday, musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer Eddie Grant. 🎂
This could be many cities across the country. Artificially low taxes lead only to crumbling cities. And in Ontario, cities pick up the tab when the province drops the ball, as is the case with homelessness.

There are hundreds of signs hung to the fence outside Province House. Here's a sampling.
Premier Tim Houston was drowned out by boos at the African Nova Scotian gala last night, after he slashed crucial arts, education, minorities, heritage, environment & climate programs. But the right wing, corporate-funded Fraser Institute likes him & failing to read the room, he’s bragging about it.
It’s been what, a week? Meanwhile, Putin has been stringing him along with talk of peace with Ukraine for months.

No different in #cdnpoli. Our Charter rights are routinely debated and increasingly overridden by provincial govts. Rights are rights always. Once you start putting conditions on them to appease small groups of people for "reasons", rights just don't exists anymore. #abpoli
Can't fuckin' believe I'm doing this but here goes: Twitter is a mind prison, a true jail of career advancement. I stopped posting on there and within months I became the CEO of The Onion and I'm not kidding. Went back on last year, felt worse, then left again.
A good thing to remember every time you’re thinking about supporting US businesses or tourism, Canada.
Luckily Toronto sports fans have trained for exactly this scenario.
Fortunately, I have young kids, so I’m already used to waking up at the ass crack of dawn for something that’s going to end up ruining the rest of my day.
