For wearing Dodgers caps - what the hell? Blue Jays are in, let's see: Canada, you know, part of the commonwealth, with a, oh, I don't know ROYAL FAMILY...

I get that - he's trying to undermine the PM but the the Feds are delusional in thinking that they can negotiate.

Dougie is a mobster and an idiot, but there never were negotiations - Trump would have done what he just did no matter what Carney did: there's no negotiating with terrorists.
At least DoFo shortened the timeline of the inevitable...

Is this a good dish for the 7M people at the 'No Kings' protest yesterday? Oh, right, according to @nytimes.com that didn't happen...

On May 1 last year, a vehicle registered to one of Doug Ford's cabinet ministers blew past an automated speed camera, going 70 km/h in a 40 zone and netting a $450 fine.

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Yep, that's right: it's a massive risk, and there will be violence - the alternatives were options around a year ago, they aren't now...

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

So now taxpayers will have to pay for traffic safety measures, rather than having law-breakers foot the bill through fines. How is that good for taxpayers? www.cp24.com/local/toront...

Take him to court: removing these will kill people - I'd like to see what judge says about this. Forget looking for logic or arguing with him - it's just for his belligerent male suburban voting cohort - take him to court.

I wish every mayor & councillor in Ontario who doesn’t carry water for Ford would speak up like this. Ask yours what they think & why they aren’t talking, if they aren’t. This isn’t just Toronto’s stupid inane fight.

Hopefully we get rid of police enforcement next and just let drivers do whatever the hell they want, it's time we give our streets back to those in the automobile!🀞

Canada's parliament started the week giving a standing O for free speech and the memory of Charlie Kirk.
They ended it by joining Orban's Hungary and Trump's America in targeting @kneecapceol.bsky.social an Irish hip hop group for challenging the genocide.
Not our finest hour.

Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media.

Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are.

Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.
