This is both magnificent and frightening - for both these wonderful animals and the humans who live in their lands. Respect.

Metrolinx struggled to tunnel under Hwy. 401, forcing lane closure and repairs | Globalnews.ca Since early 2023, a tunnel boring machine has been slowly making its way south from Sheppard Avenue and McCowan Road, digging out a route for the Scarborough Subway Extension.

Oh HAHAHA!!!

But please - do tell us again how tunneling under the 401 so MORE cars can be sluiced through is a great idea, Mr. Premier!

Attacking a federal district judge as an β€œactivist” for issuing a lawful ruling is an assault on judicial independence. A democracy cannot function when executive agencies denigrate judges for doing their jobs.

Well, there we have it.
The reason for all the theatrics, all the distraction tactics, all the subterfuge and lives lost.

All because some old men like to use children in dirty ways.

I get that municipalities are obligated to maintain the roads they govern. Only.
But what if those pathways are actually dangerous and users elect the less-trodden path?
This applies to icey sidewalks as well as rural roads.
Important precedent, for sure.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have β€œthe worst health care” of any major country.

Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

The solution: Medicare for All.

How sad is it that the richest country on Earth has a government that has to be forced to feed families with hungry children?

SNAP benefits shouldn’t be a courtroom battle. People shouldn’t have to beg for basic humanity. But here we are.

Hi everyone!! As the holidays approach, it is time for a mass boycott!

Just imagine the impact if people didn’t flood Amazon with holiday orders this year?? If the economy didn’t boom these last two months with billions in sales as it usually does??

Please share this everywhere!!!!

no water = no life. Israel controls all the water in Gaza. no water can flow without Israeli approval and that water is Palestinian water meaning it came out of Palestinian lands, not Israeli lands. Israel ain't sharing the Palestinians' water with the Palestinians. #FreePalestine #StopTheGenocide πŸ‰
