We stayed there last time in Paris. Great neighbourhood with diverse food options/groceries, transit but still not too far out to walk to the Seine (in two different directions)

The HADAG public transport ferries in Hamburg Hamburg’s HADAG ferry lines are not only important for managing everyday urban traffic but also an inexpensive way to experience the port.

Would be great to see something similar from Cherry St to Humber or Mimico to bypass the east west traffic. Stops at Straughan Spadina Yonge.. #toronto www.hamburg.com/visitors/ham...

This is a VERY big step for Germany β€” a recognition that the existential and foundational German obligation to Israel is not an obligation to an authoritarian-minded leader who has captured Israel and defied its people and basic humanitarian values

Trump’s ambush of South Africa’s president shows how low the US has fallen | Justice Malala Instead of embarrassing Cyril Ramaphosa, the US president’s β€˜gotcha’ moment illuminates the fact-free reality show that is Trump’s America

More international media, should be expressing their outrage at this dog whistle to white supremicists. No international leader should ever step foot in that office again.

On my ride into work today on non-arterial bike paths i thought of a photo essay project of all the potholes in these bike lanes (Havelock for example).

Thank you Charlie for your service and thoughtful words. And let's hope that rage politics gets addressed before a next election as it is truly dividing our country and people are not necessarily making decisions based on facts.

European Spa Company Therme Misrepresented Itself in an Effort to Expand Into Canada A Times investigation shows Therme, a European firm, exaggerated its track record in securing a deal with Ontario, and government auditors found that the process had been unfair and opaque.

No surprise to these findings. Unfortunately Infrastructure Ontario is still doubling down on their shady dealings with Therme www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/w...

An excellent clip from the 1986 Hollywood film β€œFerris Bueller’s Day Off” explains why raising tariffs on Chinese goods will hurt the U.S. economy.

In 1930 Republicans raised tariffs. As a consequence the U.S. economy suffered an even worse Great Depression.

Tariffs are taxes paid by consumers.

Your opposition needs a Charles de Gaulle-like shadow cabinet as they did in WWII. I don't understand why your democrats aren't publicly countering all the false statements coming out from the Republicans, from myths about tariffs to DOGE making false reports of scams. Our ON premier is more vocal.

gizmodo.com/worst-new-tr... Seems awfully cynical, but some people are writing about these connections. Thiel, Musk and Vance are all connected through their business and finance partnerships.
