If you see someone asleep on the TTC and what makes you uncomfortable is seeing them trying to sleep rather than the current conditions that are causing more people to become homeless - you are simply not good at being a person and you need to work on that.

Bill 60 passed earlier today.
“We see the risks, and we’re calling out this gaslighting for what it is — an attempt to weaken public oversight and hand critical services to private interests.”
My latest for PressProgress is on Ontario's Bill 60 and why some are concerned that it is paving the way towards water privatization.

Hey so no offense but I think this opinion is bad and wrong. Your value to society is more than what you can contribute to the economy, and we should take care of people who need support regardless of how they "contribute."

The best series finale on tv of all time should have been when Khabib choked out Conor McGregor, then climbed the cage and did a flying punch at his corner while joe rogan screamed "no no no no no" then there was a huge fight in the crowd.
Instead they had more events for like seven years
