It will be so much fun when the Catholic Church is declared an antifa group.

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.

Linda McQuaig: There’s much talk about building a stronger Canada, but silence about the one strategy that actually worked If we’re truly interested in bold ideas, Canada should free ourselves from the notion that the only way to build a country is to cater to corporate titans.

It was public--not private--enterprise that built this country: CNR, Ontario Hydro, the crown corporation that led to the Avro Arrow. Too bad we've forgotten. #cdnpoli #canlab

The Stupidest Speech in UN History Everyone's saying so!

"When world historians tell the story of 2025, it will be about the passing of technological, and hence economic, and hence political leadership from the U.S. to China, in the span of eight months. The tape of this address will be the easiest way to explain" why. @billmckibben.bsky.social

MUKHERJEE: Why has Toronto police stopped enforcing traffic safety? - Spacing Toronto Does one call it callous disregard for human life or rank incompetence? Or a combination of both? I am referring to the deaths of 48 people — pedestrians and cyclists — so far this year due to traffic...

Leading physicists claim Mark Carney’s elbows are in a quantum superposition of up and down simultaneously

it's incredible to me how much the city spent on private security to watch empty, fenced in areas after violently evicting unhoused folks from our public parks, but can't seem to be bothered to pay one person to do 24 hour surveillance of the speed camera that's been cut 6 times now?

Mayor Olivia Chow pushes back against the opposition to shelters, noting these are smaller, purpose-built facilities. "What is the problem with 50 seniors in Etobicoke, in Councillor Morley's area? Why is it so scary? They could be our grandparents!" the mayor points out.

Pizzaballa ‘not sure’ Gaza parish strike was ‘mistake’ The Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem has expressed doubts after the Israeli government said that tank fire on the Gaza parish was not deliberate.

Catholic leaders spoke up about settler violence.
In response the IDF targeted the church where the Pope called every night to try and keep people safe.
The Church believes they were targeted.
The IDF continues to commit terror attacks.
Silence from the west.

Irish tourist jailed by Ice for months after overstaying US visit by three days: ‘Nobody is safe’ Exclusive: For roughly 100 days, Thomas says he faced harsh detention conditions, despite agreeing to deportation

“Nobody's safe from the system if they get pulled into it"

I’ve had a few myself — including one in 2024 for 7 km/h over — and recently went to an office where fines can be paid to clear them. I got there shortly after 4 p.m. and asked a Toronto police officer on security duty in the lobby for directions. He said they wouldn’t process my tickets after 4 p.m. and that I’d have to come back, but earlier in the day. We started chatting — I’ve always found most police to be friendly — and I mentioned to him that the speed cameras are deadly efficient. “They’re not just efficient, they’re a f——— scam,” he told me emphatically, a second cop working with him nodding in agreement.

Seems pretty telling of Toronto Police's lackadaisical attitude toward traffic enforcement that an officer feels comfortable publicly calling speed cameras a "fucking scam." www.thestar.com/news/gta/the...

Canada spends over $30 billion a year propping up fossil fuels. What if that money went toward building a better future? What would you create with $30 billion?
