I’ve called and emailed many times and signed multiple petitions and have never even had the dignity of a response from any member of this government, other than from my own NDP MPP.

I may have gone on a very polite mini-rant about how Ford needs to stop interfering in Toronto’s self government and as premier he should be governing in the interests of all Ontarians

Periodic reminder that you can call Premier Ford’s office at 416-325-1941 and a nice lady will take your message about your opposition to Ford’s removal of toronto bike lanes

Tell that to your constituents and your government colleagues. Canada didn’t want this tariff war. Trump (many of your constituents, including California winemakers voted for him) started the tariff war (and keeps threatening to annex Canada - which is another reason I refuse to buy from the U.S.)

i’m surprised a U.S. senator doesn‘t understand how shopping in a store works - I didn’t stop buying wine because I can’t purchase U.S. wine - I just stopped buying *U.S.* wine. Our stores still stock alcohol from around the world. The government still gets my tax dollars either way lol.

this asshole is in charge of 16 million people over an area a thousand miles wide by a thousand miles tall and yet he has such a narrow-minded bumpkin worldview that the only things he wants to legislate have to do with meddling in local urban-planning matters that bother him on his morning commute

We are very tired of being repeatedly attacked and neglected by a premier who just can't get over the fact we didn't elect him Mayor in 2014....

"In recent years, the number of [Toronto bike share] users has soared to almost eight million rides as of 2025 ... Mapping generated from Toronto’s open data portals suggests that almost half the users rely on the lanes now being removed." - @johnlorinc.bsky.social spacing.ca/toronto/2026...

montreal’s BIXI bikes are offering a free “election pass” for the quebec provincial election (I was in Montreal a few weeks ago and used BIXI a few times so am now on their mailing list just so I can feel extra jealous of montreal’s bike facilities…) Looking at you, Toronto Bike Share 👀
Exercise your right to vote on October 5

“To make it easier to get to the polls, BIXIs will be free from 8 am to 8:30 pm on October 5, Election Day.

Use the Élections Québec One-Way Pass in the app to avoid the bike unlocking fee and get free 25-minute rides on regular BIXIs or 15-minute rides on electric BIXIs.“

how about some good news: new cat just dropped!!!!
a photo of a small, spotted wild cat, with orange fur and brown circular markings, staring up with big golden eyes.Meet the First New Cat Species Discovered in 100 Years

A small, spotted tiger cat from Bolivia may just be the beginning of a wave of new small cat species.

This 10-year-old male tiger cat is the first of his species (named Leopardus tilcayo) known to science. He is approximately 18 inches from head to end of body and weighs only 3 pounds, making him smaller than the average domestic cat. This video was captured at the Senda Verde Animal Refuge in Bolivia’s Yungas region, where he currently resides.

Quebec is the world’s largest produce of maple syrup (72% of the world’s supply) and even keeps a strategic reserve of it! I think we can do it :-)

But in all seriousness, I’m so curious to see what this “membership” will involves. I’ve spent considerable time in Europe in the past few years and I think closer ties make so much sense (also, please Europe send us your cheese, wine, chocolate, cookies and produce)

Trump Wanted Canada as the 51st State. He Ended Up Pushing It Toward the European Union. (Gift Article)
The invitation by the E.U. for Canada to become an “associate member” is a sign of Mr. Trump’s brand of diplomacy, which often involves threatening America’s closest friends.
