It’s fascinating that this exists but it’s also just fascinating.

Carney: "The performance of the labour market over the last 6 months, we've created 80,000 new jobs, net, over the last 6 months. The United States has created 6,000 jobs. The United States is 11 times the size of our economy."

More pathos, less logos needed.

Actually *see* her.

I’m hearing from friends it’s bad for recruiting too. They’re not getting many good candidates when they’re hiring.

That’s a great shot. You wouldn’t be able to get it when the weather is better because it gets so crowded! Also a few months ago it was badly damaged as someone drove a bus through it. Have they fixed it already?

I’m currently looking for a job and the scams she talks about are a huge problem!

I’ve also noticed that the government job creating investments are mostly producing construction type jobs in remote areas while a lot of job losses from tariffs are at suburban factories.

A lot of people could access through their public libraries too.

This would be a good day to remind people what happened in January:

A panel of judges sided with Global News and the Information and Privacy Commissioner and agreed Doug Ford was using his personal phone for government work - and that those records should be public. #OnPoli

This is a nuclear bomb to Ontario's democracy. The Ford government wants to obfuscate absolutely everything it does.

It’s telling that the Board of Trade enthusiastically supports expanding the airport, while opposing bike lanes.

Remy thanks you for the support and for trusting his gut on this. Definitely something spooky going on.

My dog gets spooked when we cross over the Barrie line at Dundas. Maybe he thinks it’s haunted? Should I submit a 311 ticket to check for ghosts? 🧐👻

Only 1 in 7 countries is led by a woman as global political power remains dominated by men | UN Women – Headquarters New Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) – UN Women data show women remain far from equal political power, holding just 22.4 per cent of cabinet posts and 27.5 per cent of parliamentary seats worldwide.

In 2026, only 28 countries are led by a woman Head of State or Government; 101 countries have never had a woman leader. 14 countries have gender parity in cabinets, demonstrating that equal representation is possible. Yet 8 have no women ministers at all. www.unwomen.org/en/news-stor...

The book goes into lots of details about her life, these are by no means the most important details, they just stood out to me.

I personally liked Just Kids a bit more… the stories of struggling and creative life in NYC at that time were fascinating to me.

Yes, there are a whole bunch of papers that show it should be retracted… the problems are also laid out in the emperor of all maladies, which is a book that won the Pulitzer Prize. This is well known to be wrong and in need of retraction.

I’m so over the persistent mindset of the medical comm’y not wanting to “panic” patients/the public when it comes to health concerns/threats.

Have you ever seen a woman manage stressful situations? Those are our wheelhouse!

Give us the info until WE decide it’s too much.

This junk isn’t even behind a paywall. It’s so disappointing that @utoronto.ca and @cmaj.ca can’t be bothered to identify this as an huge error and retract it. As long as it stands it will continue to kill young women. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Canadian National Breast Screening Study - Wikipedia

It boggles the mind that this has not been retracted. This is Wakefield level incompetence or fraud at this point. So many young women, dead from a treatable cancer every year in Canada because of the gatekeeping of mammograms that started with this. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadia...

It doesn’t matter if your colleagues are friendly and you respect some aspects of their work. If they are failing when it comes to correcting errors and retracting bad papers and guidance they are likely doing more harm than good.

I don’t understand why few doctors and scientists confront the misinformation from within institutions we’re meant to trust.

The misinformation that harmed my own health was from a health Canada task force. That the harm of worry from a biopsy that may have turned out to be nothing would be worse than the harm of a late breast cancer diagnosis.

There's a lot of misinformation out there about COVID. We like to pretend that it's only uneducated people who fall for it, but initial "inside the house" misinfo around the denial of aerosol transmission is now motivating minimization of the consequences of that error.

One of the examples he works through is why the Canadian task force got breast cancer screening guidelines wrong for women in their 40s and why they are so hard to fix. bsky.app/profile/path...

You did a great job on this. Clear, accurate, accessible and friendly. I think this kind of communication will help people who really need this information.
