Due to a series of mishaps this morning I had to eat Brussels sprouts on a GO platform this morning and I felt like the worst person on earth. Good to know someone topped me this AM.

This press release was baffling. Does the city think we’re stupid? This is not a good news story for them or us citizens.

Doug Ford Moves to End Rent Control Doug Ford announced proposed changes to the LTB that would strip away key tenant protections, fast-track evictions, and open the door to ending rent control as we know it in Ontario.

If you're a renter in Ontario, you should know Doug Ford is trying to make it easier for your landlord to raise your rent or end your tenancy. #HamOnt #OnPoli

I’ll bring the popcorn for the demo party. We could make it a neighborhood block party.

We’ve got to start a parks booking page for our new public pavilion. This belongs to the taxpayers not this clown.

'Horrible piece of legislation': Ontario parents to rally against speed camera ban TORONTO — Several parent groups against a looming speed camera ban in Ontario are holding a provincial day of action on Monday as MPPs return to Queen's Park for the beginning of a new legislative ses...

"As the father of a toddler, DeVito's biggest fear is unsafe roads. He knows firsthand how rambunctious young children can be and can see their lack of situational awareness at times. It also doesn't help that car crashes are one of the leading cause of death in children in Canada."

For our cities, police and any other voices of authority.

Just want to get ahead of the kid shaming content that's coming this Halloween. @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

I'd like to suggest that "the worst part" is that people are speeding in school zones and putting kids and others at risk, not that they are getting caught for doing so.

I usually go 30 minutes before the opener but I’m old and don’t like to sit too long. I may be listening to the first few songs while making my way to my seat but that’s ok with me!

How a judge could see evidence of that text “ We’ve got to get our stories straight” and not conclude nefariousness, I can’t even! 🤦‍♂️🤨

FYI - it's been several HOURS and the judge is still reading her decision in the Hockey Canada trial.

Hollywood has people thinking a judge just stands up and says guilty or acquitted and they move on. Nope. Victims have to listen to hours of a judge smearing them in front of a packed courtroom.

Children don't vote, but they are being thrown under a metaphorical F350 through the politicization of a mode of transport that is most accessible to them for independent mobility. The violation of #ChildRights inherent in Houston's statement should concern us all #CarBrain #ZeroVisionHFX

If you follow our city council at all you’d see that funding transit is never prioritized. At least with tracks in the ground it’ll be harder to rip out in the name of budget savings like the original priority lanes down king.

So far today I have shared stories about:

A kid killed by a school bus

A pickup truck driver who hit a little kid tying his shoes

A driver who went onto a *rail trail* and hit 2 kids and their grandmother

Anyone who cares about kids should fight like hell to prevent traffic violence

A tweet from Robert Benzie that reads: Premier Doug Ford defends his friend Wayne Gretzky. "I talked to Wayne the other day and he was so choked up talking to me. He is a patriot. He loves Canada. He never gave up his Canadian passport. Just give him a break."

Heads-up, Canada, it seems Wayne Gretzky is eventually going to call all of us and cry, rather than simply publicly denounce his friend Donald Trump’s plan to annex our nation. Someone really needs to tell Gretzky to skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been.

And I am too. I’ve got a 5 month old kid and I think about the smoking ruins of a province she’ll inherit all the time. But attacking people doing the work instead of you know, Doug and the folks who voted for him won’t save us. The lefts got to stop eating our own.
