I’m all for conservative cost-effective solutions like housing people in homes instead of hospitals.

Tweet by the Luigi Case on Twitter: BREAKING: Latest motion states patrolwoman searched Luigi’s backpack at McDonald’s without a warrant, then repacked the items and left the restaurant with the backpack, with no body cam footage for the next 11 minutes during her drive to the precinct. Upon arriving at the precinct, she resumed the warrantless search and “found a handgun in the front compartment.”

Okay Luigi absolutely didn't do it and this is a pin job

Oh come on! Food banks aren't part of a real social safety net; they exist because the system is failing. A true safety net includes things like income support, disability benefits, housing, healthcare, and childcare. We need lasting solutions, not emergency stopgaps.

I keep getting skinny bellydancers on my fyp. I don't need that. I'm not in this for the love of the game. I could watch a pole dancer wearing a hazmat suit if I was in it for the Athleticism and Artistry but I'm not. I know what I'm about. Give me the fat dancers if you must give me anything at all

Good:

* Poilievre isn't Prime Minister.
* Poilevre lost his own seat.

Bad:

* Everything has shifted substantially rightward.
* 40% of popular vote and +20 seats for Cons.
* Basically a two-party parliament of centre right and far right.
* Left leaning parties wiped out.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Ontario is killing its Endangered Species Act | The Narwhal The Doug Ford government’s Bill 5 could affect redside dace and other endangered species on the path of Highway 413

After years of chipping away at it, the Doug Ford government is getting rid of Ontario's Endangered Species Act. This is a very big deal. #ONpoli thenarwhal.ca/ontario-enda...

‘Special economic zones’ bill would let Ford government exempt any project from provincial laws It also repeals Ontario’s Endangered Species Act, 'gutting' legal protections for species, environmentalists warn

He likes to sneak these things in when we're busy looking the other way, like legislation that would repeal Ontario’s Endangered Species Act, stomp all over municipal bylaws at will, and of course provisions to block court actions arising from these projects.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

ftr "you cannot engage with harry potter without jkr profiting" includes piracy. you are still giving it attention. you are still keeping it in the social consciousness. you are still, probably, talking about it to someone. you have to let it go. you have to fucking let it go.

A small price to pay for accessible community building and programming!

No prob! It's important info for citizens/taxpayers to have.

You might also be interested in how much a typical taxpayer spends on the library per year. It's around $90 for the median property owner.

"a New York Times investigation showed that, in pitching itself to the world, Therme has misrepresented itself, misleading the Ontario government & exaggerating its experience in its bid to secure the Toronto deal."

Can't wait to see the Ford govt's msging. And don't forget this from last week.

JKR funded the campaign group behind all this btw. This is why we beg you to stop engaging with Harry Potter media.

"By approving the staffing reorganization and associated layoffs, council managed to shave about $2.75 off of the 2025 property tax bill for the median property owner."

Thanks to the PTBO Currents for highlighting this!

The image shows a text post from a tumble user with the handle "theconcealedweapon" making an argument about the importance of protecting the rights of criminals as a safeguard against government tyranny. The post presents the following key points: If you want to prevent government tyranny, ensuring criminals have rights must be your top priority This is not meant as a joke or exaggeration Without rights for criminals, governments can simply label people as criminals to strip away their rights The post claims this has been a common tactic of tyrannical governments throughout history The post concludes that believing people who break laws should forfeit their rights is effectively supporting tyranny The argument centers on the idea that due process and legal protections for accused/convicted persons are fundamental safeguards against authoritarian government overreach.

no lies detected. #civilrights

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

my hope is that AI can empower the Dumbest, Least talented slobs i know to replace everything i ever loved with One Million Years of Content

"One City is once again partnering with United Way #ptbo, the Research for Social Change Lab @trent, & All Saints’ Anglican Church to present another all candidates debate on housing & homelessness in #ptbo, this time with our federal election candidates."

Apply for the benefit, people!

And please tell your low-income friends, neighbours, and frenemies about it.

"But here’s the sad reality: we cannot fix the electoral system by gaming it."

At least 27 killed in Israeli bombing of shelter in Gaza City, rescuers say Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians flee from southern city of Rafah in one of war’s biggest mass displacements

Is bombing a school full of refugees and children a war crime? The West would want for you to believe it depends on whether you're Israel.

"We can't let PP turn us into America ...

that's why we need to act like we have a two-party system and vote in a Neo-Liberal majority!

Just this once, perhaps!"

Judge grants reprieve to Ontario supervised consumption sites that were set to close Injunction will keep the sites open past the April 1 date, including the site in Toronto’s Kensington Market that launched the Charter challenge.

Good news on a backwards policy.
If it were about proximity to schools they would have been allowed to move, not be forced to close leaving people without access to this lifesaving service.

massively depressing that the big scandal is that the shithead guy from the atlantic got texted accidentally and not the part where they're raining more death on yemen

Always be aware of your surroundings when peacefully protesting for your fucking rights
