Text: Liggett said the route that was supported by the committee on Tuesday is not her preferred option. “Mass transit needs to be taking people to their workplace, not to a shopping mall, not to a downtown core where they can go to a club or something,” she explained.

We're over 5 years now with #ion, can we please quit with disparaging transit stopping at malls, please?
Aside from the fact that malls often serve as mini transit hubs, do you know what they also are Mayor Liggett? Workplaces. www.ctvnews.ca/kitchener/ar...

“Cities are good, people want to live in dense walkable neighborhoods, and urban governance should prioritize city residents’ quality of life over suburban drivers’ convenience” remains a genuinely radical political program in America.

Ontario awards $9.1M contract to study Hwy. 401 tunnel concept | Globalnews.ca Internal studies into the concept at the Ministry of Transportation were paused in 2021 and found there was a 'potential for roadway collapse.'

NEW: Ontario has finally awarded the feasibility study contract for the Highway 401 tunnel, paying a Canadian company $9.1M for the work.

Internal studies have already looked at the idea and concluded there was a “potential for roadway collapse.” #OnPoli

Apropos of nothing, this week on the podcast we watched a movie in which judges who aided a fascist regime get put on trial after the regime is toppled

The union is calling on people to boycott btw!!

She’s right. The government started putting gender on passports in 1972 out of concern that men and women were getting too hard to tell apart, what with all the hippies with long hair and feminists in pants and whatnot.

Strike gender from IDs. Everywhere. It serves no purpose. @murray.senate.gov

Come and take it

For most of my political life, Republicans have refused to treat me and the people I love as fellow citizens, while coyly (and increasingly openly!) fantasizing about hurting or killing us. I've seen liberals exhibit a frankly astonishing degree of patience with this. That patience is running out.

FDA Announces Nationwide Recall of ADHD Medication—Check Your Cabinets Now Sun Pharmaceutical Industries has recalled several lots lisdexamfetamine dimesylate capsules, a generic form of Vyvanse, after testing found they failed to dissolve properly.

As a headsup for anyone on Vyvanse, you should go check your lot numbers.

Ford government supervisors can charge $350K per year to school boards | Globalnews.ca Several school boards in Ontario, including Toronto public, Toronto Catholic and Ottawa-Carleton, have been under the management of supervisors for months.

So the Ford appointed supervisors will make more than all School Board Trustees combined, and that money will come out of the education budget that’s supposed to go to student needs. Shame! globalnews.ca/news/1151063... #topoli #onpoli #onted

Do ask any Labour MPs or centrist commentators congratulating Mamdani what they can possibly learn from some of his policies. Like these for instance.

We Expected Little in the Federal Budget on Housing. We Got Less Than Expected. Ottawa promised homes for families; what it delivered was talking points on immigration

The 2025 Liberal housing platform is effectively dead. The already inadequate spending promises have been reduced to trinkets. The only thing that’s been left was the worst part of Liberal housing policy; the first time homebuyers GST rebate. The DC cuts are gone.

What a waste of everyone’s time.

Had to share this from twitter just because

Curtis Silwa can now return to his true calling - being the villain in movies for children that star talking dogs

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

jay jones has a winning message for 2026: [REMOVED FOR VIOLATION OF TOS]

DirectFile, free covid tests via USPS, child tax credit: federal programs that worked and benefited ordinary people and therefore had to be ended in case everyone got used to it

I will reluctantly admit that it’s notable that the mayor-with-strong-mayor-powers of Cambridge is against the extension of ION light rail into her city. Cambridge voters who like Cambridge getting nice things should keep that in mind in the 2026 municipal elections

(hogtied in the back of a kidnapper's van) hey i felt the wheels go over train tracks. did you just take a left on Sycamore? they're doing work on the drainage, gonna be backed up a mile. take your next right.

how is this real

A four frame comic about Captain Torture. The first frame shows the sign "BREAKING NEWS" and the drawing of a man, with the words "CAPTAIN TORTURES PASSES AWAY" near him. The second frame shows a journalist holding a mic, as she says "A controversial and divisive figure, Captain torture will be remembered for his key role in history." The News title is "Mourning day for Captain-". The third frame shows three posts on social media. The first one is by a man called Paul James @Paulitician. He writes: "I didn't always agree with Captain Torture but he sure was a man who believed in something." The second post by James Paul @Avegetable reads: "I pay my respects to Captain Torture and his family. His heart was in the right place- with our country." The third post is by SonicVomit @SonicBleh , and reads "HE TORTURED PEOPLE". The fourth frame shows an interview on TV. An angry man on the right is saying: "Let me tell you something, Jen. I think it's SICK to celebrate Captain Torture's death. These people should be LOCKED UP, and also tortured-". The news below says: "Every president on earth pays homage-".

Meme. Photograph of a New Zealand longfin eel underwater, looking expectantly at the camera. Despite not being a US citizen, this eel (we'll call him Vestiboing) is very concerned with the state of our politics. US policy sets the table for the world, and Vestaboing knows that only one of the major parties has anything like a passing interest in environmental conservation. Does he stand behind everything the Democratic Party does or says? Of course not. Does he wish for better national leadership in this time of trial and doubt? For sure. But will he let the perfect be the enemy of the good? No. He will not. That is not the way with eels. Nor should it be the way with any of us. Vestaboing's blue eye implore you. His fins float on currents of expectation. His nostrils are perky and hopeful. Don't crush his heart. Cast your vote for eels. For Vestaboing. Meme text reads: "It's eelection day! Go vote!"

It's election day! To all my fellow US folks: make sure you get out & vote. The eels demand it of you.

Eels, of course, are citizens of the world. So they can't vote in local elections, and they have to rely on you to do it for them.

Even if you won't vote for you, be a proxy vote for an eel!

he misheard “trains” as “trans” and got mad

VP Cheney will be honoured with a 21 gun salute accidentally aimed directly at 21 of his friends

It's pretty impressive that Republicans have just stopped trying to campaign in any traditional sense of the word and have resorted to "if you vote for Mamdani the President of the United States will fucking kill you."

my costume for halloween this year was Noelle from Deltarune, and my friend’s bf asked if she was one of the player characters. It was a surprisingly complicated question to answer
