Emergency brake issue adds to uncertainty over Eglinton LRT opening TTC recently identified the problem as a potential safety issue, sources say

Scoop: Days before a possible Crosstown launch, the TTC told Metrolinx it had an issue with the cars' emergency brakes. But the LRT could still start Feb. 8, with the Shuffle Demons -- remember Spadina Bus? -- approached to play at the opening #TOPoli #Onpoli

They really should be giving out 2 buckets: one to put on your head in shame and one to hold the vomit

and the U.S. manufacturers are shutting down Canadian EV plants

The risk to North American auto manufacturing is North America's auto manufacturers not keeping up with what global consumers want.

You've had tens of billions of dollars in subsidies and supports shovelled at you. Compete or die.

it is incredible how everyone just moved on from the fact the US kidnapped another country’s president and is now effectively the puppet master of the government it left in power

TMZ headline of Rob Schneider, in sick hat, and wife Patricia with headline “Rob Schneider wife files divorce papers.”

Fuck, Rob’s gonna lose half of his sick hats.

Karim Bardeesy: "Please see my full statement on X (formerly Twitter): STATEMENT ON X (FORMERLY TWITTER) I've been on X (formerly Twitter) since 2008, when I started my work as a business journalist in New York City at the beginning of the Great Recession. It was an invaluable tool in those days; and when I moved to The Globe and Mail, we used it to engage with readers through the paper's editorial board Twitter account, which I set up and ran. Twitter - in all of its chaos with all of its problems - was for many years a vibrant space of debate and discovery, and an invaluable source of information about the world, often in real time. But it's no longer that place. It's now a place where anger, hyper-divisive content, shock - and most, recently Al-generated sexualized deepfakes - is the content that gets elevated or rewarded by its algorithm. Al is now part of our reality and will continue to be. There's no denying that. But we are not passive in this journey. Our values matter; and when the technology and the platform are at such 100% complete misalignment with those values, it's time to go. In the absence of meaningful change, I am pausing my posting here. You can still find me and my office's work through the channels listed below. MP Karim Bardeesy Taiaiako'n-Parkdale-High Park"

"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now.

because they actually listen to Poilievre's nonsense?

Weird section from an op-ed in the Globe about food prices. Why do these folks think the industrial carbon price has any bearing on...any of this?

It only applies (and modestly, given the output based allocations) to large oil sands facilities. Farm operations are barely impacted.

Kevin O’Leary to her left, lol

Here’s the latest.

Two Federal Agents Who Shot Alex Pretti Are Placed on Leave www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Scoop: Stephen Miller behind misleading claim that Alex Pretti wanted to "massacre" agents The episode illustrates the sheer power of Miller, Trump's close and longest-serving political adviser

"Noem has complained to others that she feels she's being hung out to dry over the episode and has made sure to emphasize she took direction from Miller and the president, a source told Axios."

oh well this is interesting innit

They are "public" officials after all. They are paid by us. This is not a private army.

The Democratic commentators, "strategists," and data bros who've been counseling appeasement of Trump's fascism need to take responsibility for how unbelievably fucking wrong they were.

For history tells us that appeasement signals weakness, encourages escalation, and accelerates freedom's end.

more like in America and then posing as Albertans

Americans are like "Why aren't Canadian tourists coming anymore?"

unless I'm missing his point - seems to be saying that Carney is bluffing and won't make deeper alliances with China etc. so the U.S. can still do whatever they want

The X deepfake scandal also shows that the impunity enjoyed by billionaires (not just tech) incentivises them to commit massive and destructive offences against the public good.

he's always been one of the worst voices on all things Canada

Hey Max -- this seems like a bigger scandal: how did Lutnick's company double it's assets in 3 months?
