Promise David strikes the ball like it owes him money, and that is one reason among many that explains why he is such a unique player in the #CanMNT striker pool

Laughing ICE Goons Seize Dad Who Fled Ukraine War at Walmart Dmytro Kulyk is facing deportation as refugees become the Trump administration’s latest target.

EXCLUSIVE: A Ukrainian dad escaped Vladimir Putin’s drone and missile attacks back home only to be grabbed by a band of laughing ICE stooges in a Walmart parking lot in Minneapolis.

I posted on *three platforms* just over *20 minutes* after Radio-Canada first misidentified this innocent trans woman as a mass shooter on national television in a 6:00pmET broadcast.

I tagged Radio Canada and Patrice Roy.

They didn't issue a correction until after 2:00pmET today.

Unacceptable.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy, experts warn States and financial bodies using modelling that ignores shocks from extreme weather and climate tipping points

“The climate scientists we surveyed were unambiguous: current economic models can’t capture what matters most – the cascading failures and compounding shocks that define climate risk in a warmer world – and could undermine the very foundations of economic growth.”

This should be THE story everyday.

And yet the Ford government will take over multiple school boards on the premise that they have mismanaged their finances.

Snow is nature's urban planner: It can show us what parts of the roadway drivers don't use — and what can be reclaimed for pedestrians.

Post your photos and videos of all the #sneckdowns you see and tag us and @mayor.nyc.gov so today's winter wonderland can inspire better streets year-round!

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Ontario and Canada needs to think about this.

In 1978, the Czech dissident Václav Havel wrote an essay called The Power of the Powerless. In it, he asked a simple question: how did the communist system sustain itself? His answer began with a greengrocer. Every morning, this shopkeeper places a sign in his window: “Workers of the world, unite!” He does not believe it. No one believes it. But he places the sign anyway – to avoid trouble, to signal compliance, to get along. And because every shopkeeper on every street does the same, the system persists. Not through violence alone, but through the participation of ordinary people in rituals they privately know to be false. Havel called this “living within a lie.” The system’s power comes not from its truth but from everyone’s willingness to perform as if it were true. And its fragility comes from the same source: when even one person stops performing — when the greengrocer removes his sign — the illusion begins to crack. It is time for companies and countries to take their signs down.

I keep reflecting on the surrealness of Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of England and Bank of Canada, invoking an anti-communist essay by Vaclav Havel to declare at Davos that the American-led neoliberal capitalist world order is a “lie”

A salute to cunning dilettantes of The Munk Debate who brought Bannon to Toronto, well paid & feted, as part of their very serious program of rigorous intellectual discourse for the Canadian establishment.

Statistics Canada to cut 850 jobs in 'dark time' for public service, union says Federal statistics agency entered its workforce adjustment period Monday, sending notices to thousands of employees.

Quite frankly, it’s outrageous that Mark Carney is cutting Statistics Canada. If he was Stephen Harper or Pierre Poilievre, I feel like this would be getting a lot more backlash.

Carney of all people should know the importance of high-quality data and information about the country.

Several Canadian news orgs have already left X, but I believe @pressprogress.ca may be the first to adopt a policy setting standards around use of digital platforms

We think it's time news orgs stop prioritizing clicks and start requiring higher standards from these platforms

This is my blood I marvel at the design of our weapons. So sophisticated that they can transform any man woman or child into a terrorist. Writing in their flight between launch and concussion an entire alternate history of a life. Just as the cop’s bullet convicts you of a crime. Its presence in your body evidence enough that it always belonged there. A violent transubstantiation.

This is my blood

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

Comparison of land use value in Memphis showing buildings at $45.39 per sq. ft., parking at $1.35, and roads at -$0.81, urging efficient land use.

Which kind of land use is the most financially productive: roads, parking, or buildings?

Looking at this comparison, it isn't even close.

So depressing to think we could have it in Toronto (proposed under JOHN TORY of all people); rejected by Kathleen Wynne, LIBERAL premier. Hell will freeze over before Ford would allow this.

One thing I wrote about here is how technology has made buses *way* more convenient while techno-futurists were obsessed with flying taxis and self-driving cars.

“I’ve read every study and report I could find that looked specifically at the economics of bike lanes since 1984.”

“The results show that making streets friendlier for bikes, and sidewalks friendlier for pedestrians, is actually good for business.“

Remember:

When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them.

When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips.

ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

Buried in the TTC's 2026 operating budget is a reference to lost funding for "the General Body Repairperson apprenticeship program after the Skills Development Fund provincial funding application was unsuccessful." Obviously TTC did not bribe the Tories sufficiently.

a painted bike lane with the stencil of a bike not able to fit in the lane

Interviewer: Is this bike lane safe?
Applicant: No
Interviewer: Would you ride in it?
Applicant: No
Interviewer: Would you let your kids ride in it?
Applicant: No
Interviewer: Would you still implement it in our city?
Applicant: Yes
Interviewer: Welcome to the Transportation Department

Painted cycle lanes are the non-smoking sections of today's urban landscape.

Both recognize a problem and the harms it causes, but are designed without the will or imagination required to implement a real solution.
