Timing of the announcement was telling. Right at the end of the school year, with lots of other school activities happening and everyone anticipating summer. No accident. If you blinked, you missed it.

I got your sarcasm. And fair enough. But we can’t afford to let AI roll over us the way the evolution of the internet did is my point.

Obviously. But it doesn’t need to be this way. This doesn’t have to be inevitable; we still have agency.

How about putting all those resources into solving a problem for humanity that actually needs solving versus creating solutions to problems that don’t exist? No one needs this capability. Screwed indeed.

It’s the equivalent of wrapping it in bubble wrap. Sometimes being less worried about potential dangers is the way to go. How many people were injured dining in the previous configurations before this “improvement” was introduced?

Also, quantify the size of the alleged issue. Or is it like the story Poilievre was trying to sell about an epidemic of mass murderers being released on parole (spoiler alert: that number is zero).

It still takes coordination to get people to show up to heckle. Who’s coordinating all this supposed “grassroots” activity? A bit of a rhetorical question, given what we saw transpire during the debates.

I also sent an email. This is very troubling. And so late in the game that there’s literally nothing anyone can do about it. I want to say every debate participant who disagrees with it should not even show up in protest. It would be a pretty quiet debate of one, I suspect.

For years, Poilievre has promised to defund the CBC. Already, corporate media is taking over. Canada’s largest newspaper chain—Postmedia—is owned by a U.S. hedge fund that has ties to Trump. We need loud support from party leaders. Add your name to protect the CBC: leadnow.ca/campaigns/pr...

LeBrun: “It’s a reflection that newsrooms don’t feel confident standing up for what they believe in,” Fatah said “Rachel is invited by the media organization & introduced on national tv, then the reaction to having her in that role is to succumb to pressure immediately? A very distressing sign.”

Speak up folks. Make CTV news know we're pissed.

Email to CTV News: The cancelation of Rachel Gilmore’s fact checking segment was absolute cowardice. Bowing to the will of online trolls, and bad actors, just emboldens their behaviour and ensures they will continue to behave in this manner. A news organization allowing itself to be bullied in this fashion completely undermines the public trust in you. Why should we believe that what you report is honest and fair, when it is obvious you have no spine and are easily manipulated. You should be ashamed of yourselves, and you owe Rachel, and your viewers, a public apology, at the very least.

A cowardly move by CTV. Setting aside that fact checking segments are even a thing these days, what does it say about you and your principles when you push back on them? I can only conclude that you’re adverse to truth telling.

It assumes that this is our first rodeo, that we haven’t been watching both their performances over the past 2 years or so. It’s insulting and people should interpret it as such.

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us. That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.

The Board of Trade is not a serious organization considering who was on their task force.

Who is it for? Executives who insist on driving downtown or the broader Toronto population? There's so much the Board of Trade could advocate for, but the task force was flawed from the start considering who they installed on it. Heavy on CEOs rather than people who dedicate their careers to studying traffic solutions, it included an executive from Uber, a company with a history of rolling roughshod over municipal regulations with a direct interest in getting people to choose them over, say, public transit. Studies also show companies such as Uber contribute to congestion by flooding the city with vehicles waiting for customers. The task force also included two executives of Purolator, a company that has been among the top parking violators in Toronto in the past.

We need a long-term strategy that reflects the reality that, at some point, Canada will have to do things that Trump won’t like. There will always be something for the US to complain about. At some point, if we dare speak up for ourselves, they’ll treat us like they treated Zelenskyy.

A major part of the problem is the system itself. First past the post is a relic of the past. Maybe after we’re finally through with Ford this time around, the people of Ontario will have an appetite for it. There would then be a case for more than 40% of registered voters to show up to vote.

Doug Ford only cares about Doug Ford and how much he can personally benefit from the Trump regime. He is not defending Canada, he’s busy defending his own interests. Just look at the spa and the greenbelt scandal. #VoteHimOut #OntarioElection

Also, and I can’t believe I have to say this, NPR and CBC, but annexing sovereign countries isn’t a “proposal.” Not Poland, not Iraq, not Canada - no “proposals” in any of these cases. It’s not a grant application, it’s a violation of international law and an abomination.

On news that the roof of the Ontario Science Centre has not collapsed under all the snow, it's a reminder of the whole giant grift. Ford closed permanently the Ontario Science Centre because DeGasperis wants that land, and Ford owes him. Vaughan Working Family helped install Ford in 2018.
