I think that’s not unlikely. Please stay safe.
I really wish you the best of luck. I worry they will flag the people they want persecuted — for when they get states side, to make a point.
I get it but you all have a lot more faith in the U.S.’s willingness to respect Canada’s sovereignty and abide by the rules they’ve agreed to than I do.
It’s both and best use of the land for the most people, including the people who live there and the tens of thousands about to move there. Look, I like Porter Airlines, I love the Air Show but this is about building a better, healthier, more livable, and visitable, Toronto.
“Champions On Bloor” in Toronto
Amanda didn't take the job. But some other folks might have. Here's a creator, The Woke Ginger, reciting specific attacks from the brief. He urges followers “to look past viral personalities and ask who is running and why” — a quote (see first skeet) matching a suggested quote in the brief.
HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
Yes and we need @mayoroliviachow.ca and the @liberalca.bsky.social to spell that out for him. I don’t want to hear that some great “deal” has been struck and Ford will get exactly what he wants but my property taxes will not be raised above the rate of inflation. That’s not what I voted for.
On top of the island being a vital, cooling respite for the people of Toronto, apply “A big noisy airport right on top one of our city’s most unique and endearing features will be great for tourism!” to other cities and see how it sounds. Do you need to land in Hyde Park?
Also, people, “I really like this charming small airport we should make it more like the one I hate” is not a smart position to take.
It is easy now to forget that George W. Bush had a white-knuckled stranglehold on the title of worst United States president in history. It was like Wilt Chamberlain's 100 point game at the time. No one ever thought it would be possible to even come close, let alone beat it.
From a friend in Beirut this morning, who in the last few days has seen several Israel missile strikes within walking distance of their home.
There is a no quiet part anymore with these guys. Would be great if the bulk of America’s media recognized a gauntlet being thrown down when they are standing in a field of gauntlets.
I have reservations about allowing US customs officials to operate on Canadian soil right now anyway.
Exactly. I don’t expect Ford to grasp this or care but I want the @liberalca.bsky.social to understand that the island is where we go — it’s not Bay Street’s runway.
As I have done! It’s a good time. They need to run it 24 hours, partly for the benefit of airline and airport personnel, and since Doug Ford is claiming he wants to do something for the average Joe traveller, that’s what we he should be pushing for.
Also, people, “I really like this charming small airport we should make it more like the one I hate” is not a smart position to take.
Cc @mayoroliviachow.ca.
All this. I don’t care if some people find flying out of downtown easier. We need to stop letting these people run Toronto like it’s the place people have to be when they’re not at the cottage. We live here, we like it. Park not planes, @liberalca.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social
Don’t blame me. I was with Economists’ Daughters for Harris.
Perfect. No notes. Somebody get these guys their own show.
Gonna screen Fitzcarraldo at the White House
cool
#BikeTO
“The program also saw a 10-per-cent increase in total rides taken, with a total of 7.8 million trips last year, according to the report. About 231,000 people who used bike share last year were first time riders.” - @oliviapiercey.bsky.social

A father comforting his kids, telling them the deafening bangs were fireworks. A man blown from his bed onto the floor. Debris and mangled rebar everywhere. Our report on the morning residents in a central Beirut area woke up to Israeli bombardment.
Readers may not be aware that all Philip had to do was ask nicely and he already got my “expert advice” on his (very good) book Citizen Scholar. No slop, no bullshit.
We should all do more of that: Reach out to humans we know and/or trust.
Major thanks to @melodyschreiber.com for interviewing me about what biology actually says about sex & gender
Unscientific attacks on trans rights are fueled by fascism, not science, and harm all of us - cis or trans
Excellent reporting 🧬🏳️‍⚧️

If any news outlets are covering this and want to talk to a trans Genomics PhD who specialized in human genetics and the evolution of sex, please reach out to me
This is complete nonsense scientifically. It's fascist eugenics, not biology
Setting a horrifying precedent for genocide
Bad move, space probe, you were free. You were out.
Right now, I think Olivia Chow should try being a viable left wing alternative. She needs to stop celebrating reaching“ consensus” with a guy who hates Toronto and take it to the streets, the courts, and to other cities and towns because civic autonomy is a solid provincial issue. See speed cameras.
