Lesson to Canadian mayors: you can stand up to premiers. They’ve got the power but you have the people.

Every compromise is more dead & injured people of all sorts. And it doesn’t matter, Ford still banned them. So stop compromising & take a real stand. All this does is make drivers feel more emboldened to drive dangerously.

There is a need for education - no one knows what the guidelines/rules for safety are so people go as fast as they want in the sidewalks and bike paths etc.

Group of people w Maggie & award

In “timing” tonight Maggie Helwig’s book Encampment, very critical of city + local councillor Saxe, won the Toronto Book Award & tomorrow the city is evicting the encampment at her church. Epic timing.

😡 greed and willful destruction.

So fed up with these greedy developer predators invading communities and public land. Keep speaking out.

It's just dishonest and malicious gov't that continually puts lives at risk. Ontario doesn't care.

Demo on Saturday. Take to the streets. It’s the only way. Same will be done for the bike lanes when the time comes.

Don’t forget this.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Helsinki goes a full year without a traffic death A city traffic engineer credits the success to lower speed limits and smarter design.

“Helsinki has not recorded a single traffic fatality in the past 12 months, city and police officials confirmed this week.”

City engineer credits lower speed limits and smart design.

I agree. #Helsinki #VisionZero

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

It would solve a lot of housing issues. Greed has taken over.

What if every city that talked about “Vision Zero” actually meant it?

Ruth Asawa’s Life and Legacy, in Both Art and Education Marilyn Chase’s new biography sheds light on Asawa’s contributions to San Francisco’s public schools and its artistic community at large.

Delicate yet monumental, diaphanous yet sharp, Ruth Asawa’s wire sculptures ask that viewers experience them as more than what they first encounter.

Scary and fascinating at the same time. I still remember a trip there in the late 80’s. Amazing city.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences.

The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences.

The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

TCAF POSTER! I made it! Colour by Lee Loughridge & me!

Love it!!

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

New documents reinforce that Science Centre closure was not supported by engineers The Ontario Science Centre was shuttered on June 21, 2024, with the Ontario government claiming that a structural roof issue made it unsafe. New documents suggest that the engineers inspecting the roo...

Elsa Lam continues to prove & document how corrupt & full of lies the Doug Ford closure of the science centre was & is. Read & share widely - not that it matters in Ontario, a province that seems ok w a high level of this.

It’s horrifying how many people do not think this is dangerous. MMR No big deal - wth?!

My daughters are thrilled that after 21 years in parliament I am not running in this election.
They say its time to pick up my style game in carrying on the work of the resistance.
I will save these shoes for the upcoming @grievousangels104.bsky.social gig at the Horseshoe Tavern June 1.
