I'm May, a #Toronto community builder and local foodie.

I've lived all across Ontario and on a northern remote reserve in Manitoba. Visited 9/10 provinces and a territory. I love this place that I call home.

Mastodon is more my jam, so I'll probably lurk more than engage.

The reality is that a lot of people don’t want to pedal (or can’t)…and will never regularly use e-bikes or bikes…after I got hit riding my bike…I used an e-scooter for a year to allow my knee to heal…the other alternative was to drive…

I've used a classic scooter before and just assumed e-scooters are hard on your knees too. Good to know!

Yup, can’t grow Micromobility if you ban it…docked scooters are everywhere these days and compatible with the bike share docks…most of the excuses the city has put forward are bunk…

Toronto still officially has e-scooters banned everywhere. No commercial scooter services either.

Preapproved designs for four+-plexes with at least one 3+-bdrm units each that spans 1-2 classic single family home lots.

These can override all setback and height requirements on what are currently single family home lots. Remove restrictions on mixed use retail in residential areas.

City council gives you the power to pass one single law to make things better.

What is your city, and what law do you pass?

Yessssss. All this hoarding needs to stop. I would say that the money needs to go to deeply affordable housing as well, since a lot of people remain in precarious living situations to avoid being unhoused. Also maintenance for the community housing that we already have!

For my hometown (London Ontario) - MASSIVE vacant property tax on corporate landowners (all proceeds go to housing & rehab for unhoused people).

Don't like it? Lower the rent and rent your space out.

Don't want to? Sell it to someone who will.

"Urging Israel" to release Canadian citizens?

No.

This is a fucking declaration of war by the State of Israel on the entire world — and we’re sitting here doing nothing.

New episode of Sandy and Nora! We talk about the fascist takeover of CBS news and how Canada could be playing a role of information and truth defender in North America but instead, it can't, as our media has already longago been captured.

When you hear speeches like this:
1° you gotta wonder if Carney is a quisling or no for attempting to negotiate with a fascist.
2° you'll understand quickly why trans U.S.ians are fleeing the U.S., migrating to Canada in fairly significant numbers, heck, even claiming asylum 3× more than last year.

Trump: "If we didn't win this election. If we had these people that were running that were ruining our country, destroying our country with their open borders and men playing in women's sports and transgender from everybody and windmills all over the place ... I'm not sure we'd even have a country."

A huge group of people are in a giant hole in the middle of a rolling field. There is a large sign with an arrow pointing to the hole that says "HOLE." Suddenly the group's attention turns to a new hole, complete with a giant sign with an arrow pointing to it that says "NEW HOLE." One person points to the new hole and says "hey look! Someone made a new hole!" The mass clamours out of the old hole and makes a bee-line toward the new hole. It's chaos. One person, now situated in the new hole says "this feels like how the old hole used to feel." Another person nods in agreement.

It's all the proof we need to show that Bluesky is not decentralized, and that they can shut off the system any time they want, even if you build tools on top of it.

It costs money to know that rent in Hamilton is now almost double the minimum wage. If you have a few dollars to spare, consider donating to the @policyalternatives.ca, whose researchers help us understand the crushing weight of capitalist exploitation!

It's remarkable hearing people in Canada talk about how the EV mandates are too much and how we can't get enough EVs on the roads while Euro countries are doing way better than us on adoption, and especially cold northern Euro countries.

I understand Jay's thinly veiled crash out on a human level — getting dogpiled sucks, and a lot of people act annoying as hell when they don't like something.

But also, all of this happened because BlueSky doesn't respond to good-faith criticism. We tried it and nobody felt heard or respected.
