If u care about better cities for people in Ontario Canada, please pay attention to what Premier Ford is doing. Not only would his new bill block cities from building bike-lanes if they touch car lanes, he’s talking about imposing his own street standards & standardized official plans in EVERY city.

I had a great time scouting potential locations in Little Italy for a tiny forest, with the Dalhousie Community Association and Forêt Capitale Forest. Did you know that West Centretown has the lowest tree equity score in the entire city? Read more here: centretownbuzz.ca/2025/09/some...

Keep in mind that the same reasons that the trump administration is using to attack #Venezuela have been used against #Canada.

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.

The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

Bill 60 will make our roads more dangerous for everyone.

Thank you to Bike Ottawa for inviting me to speak at your rally this morning — keep the pressure on the provincial government and tell them to stop interfering in the work cities are doing to make life better and safer for people.

Thank you whack-jobs, conspiracy theorists, convoyers, and other stupid people for this amazing day of ignorance for #Canada. Your unnecessary spreading of pain and suffering will be remembered for years to come.

Deeply appreciate Canada’s media union speaking out against this multimillion dollar lawsuit

An attack on one is an attack on all

If they can do this to me, they can do this to you
This is an important case in defending freedom of the press.
Hi Bluesky 👋

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.

Safe bike-lanes mean business.

Tesla’s profit fell 37% in the third quarter. It's been in the process of laying off 14,000 workers. It had more cars impacted by recalls than any other brand in 2024.

Yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion.

American capitalism is off the rails.

Jason Stanley isn’t afraid to use the F-word when talking about President Donald Trump.

The author of How Fascism Works and Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future is clear: He believes the US is currently under an authoritarian regime led by a fascist leader.
I study fascism. I’ve already fled America.
On this week’s “More To The Story,” former Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains his recent move to Canada and calls the Trump administration’s takeover of the US government a “coup.”
