Wow, big crowd out here in Guelph for the first weekend train. Lots of happy commuters and families going to Toronto for the day.
Thanks to everyone who pushed to convince Metrolinx that there is demand for weekend service.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

The moment the union defied back to work orders was when power was truly shifted back to the workers and Air Canada realized they were screwed, forcing them back to the bargaining table.
If employers expect the government to step in every time a strike happens, they'll never bargain in good faith.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.
But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

State transportation departments work in a system that prioritizes project completion over project value for the community. When you combine that with a toolbox limited to expansion projects, state officials who genuinely want to help communities can end up hurting them instead.

I was doing succession planning in my IT job at 25 in case I died
Fun watching votes pass where the margin is fewer than the number of Democratic representstives who died in office this year (3).
For lots (but not all) of these that margin is overshadowed by alive and absent, but still. Be a lot closer with 3 alive.

So: the “Protect Bathurst / Dufferin” astroturf campaign run by Summerhill Market had videos of a guy talking about the neighborhood & RapidTO proposal. Real grassroots feel. Took a screenshot & put it into google image search. Guess what?

The Loan Programs Office (LPO) is one of the most quietly effective tools the federal government has. It is the center of our industrial policy providing loans that banks won't give for energy innovation. It funds real projects. Battery factories. Nuclear reactors. Geothermal energy. Car factories.
