WE KNOW 🚲 AGAINST TRAFFIC IS UNSAFE
🚗 turning right from a side street won't see them as they're not looking in that direction. 🚶no probs. 🚲 avg spd 16kph. But many 🛵 have top spd 30kph, & they're supposed to ride against traffic? Shd ride WITH traffic, like 🚲, & use BLs too! 30kph #cycling

"However, police say they can only be legally operated on sidewalks, pedestrian trails, and parking lots. Where there are no sidewalks, they can be carefully operated along the left edge of roadways, facing traffic, with other pedestrians."
THIS IS INSANE!

When Canadians boo the American anthem, they are booing Donald Trump, not the players, the fans or the people. When Americans boo the Canadian anthem in NY at the Blue Jay games, they are booing themselves as the majority of Blue Jay players are Americans 😊

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Toronto’s mayor is fighting to keep the city’s speed cameras in operation, with council passing a motion Wednesday it hopes will cause Premier Doug Ford to reconsider his pledge to get rid of them.

The speed cameras & alcohol on/off shelves are a tactic Premier Ford is using to distract from the fact his government is handing out hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to insiders and friends through the “Skills Development” Fund. #onpoli

I believe that an investigation is warranted to understand why so many of us Ontarians never received the voter card in time to be able to vote early.

#DougFord has been in power long enough to know where and how to manipulate to get what he wants.

He is a true narcissist!

After being handed his third consecutive majority by the clueless voters of Ontario, Teflon Dougie really believes he's untouchable now. He's feeling the wind in his sails and is no longer bothering to hide the corruption. With the opposition in disarray, he's confident he can buy the next election.

Barrie #Ontario recently declared a "state of emergency" over homelessness.

But for its mayor, the risk to human lives is not the emergency. The visibility of poverty is.

New op-ed from Nir Hagigi:

ricochet.media/justice/hous...

#onpoli #Barrie #housingisahumanright

In Barrie, poverty is the crime and visibility the emergency

The Ontario city’s so-called ‘state of emergency’ is a manufactured crisis built on cruelty, not care
