Being anti-BradBradford is my entire online persona. A complete fraud who sold Beaches- East York on being progressive before declaring himself Chow’s #1 enemy to fill the conservative void left by Tory. Transparent ambition and nothing else. Pathetic.

The Danger of Unregulated AI
AI is moving into every aspect of life. Invading the spaces that make us human. Usurping our autonomy with the promise of making life more convenient.

For those who see Brad Bradford’s TTC refund policy and think, “That might be a good idea.”, consider that this one delivery truck has been holding up a streetcar for at least 5 minutes. Bradford would punish the TTC and do nothing to the driver.

This is not a drill. The Trump doctrine has been boldly stated: Reduce Canada to a vassal state. Crush Ukraine. Undermine Europe by promoting racist hate parties. Serve Putin. The plan has been clear as day all along now it is being stated openly. We must resist. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRPI...

As Donald Trump moves to lock up his critics, Canada's Conservative leader thinks "hey, there's a good idea!" (Gift link) www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Justin Ling: Pierre Poilievre’s conspiracy theorizing isn’t just wrong — it’s dangerous
In evoking Trump's paranoia, the Conservative leader is doing Canada a disservice.

We have spent more than a decade uploading our politics and civil society to a cloud owned by oligopolistic tech firms. As the Trump administration moves to take over those companies, it is a direct threat to democracies everywhere. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Justin Ling: Charlie Kirk’s death is being used as an excuse by MAGA to grab power. This is how Canada can defend itself
The rage-filled cauldron that is online discourse is also a radicalization machine.

We are seeing a very clear pattern of banning things that make Trumpists and their kids feel bad: - Books about colonialism, slavery and segregation - Challenging ideas about gender - Protests against genocide - Science generally It's a blanket ban on hard feelings. They called us snowflakes.

Poilievre’s conservatives are against facts. And CTV news is spineless.

The view from my home town, completely nails our relationship with the US during my formative years (80s/90s). A relationship that has now been poisoned. The cross-border youth hockey rivalries were intense then, I can only imagine what it’s like now.

Sometimes it feels like I’m going crazy, because there is something that is right in front of our faces, has been for years, and nobody of consequence ever says it: Donald Trump works for Vladimir Putin. How much more proof does anyone need? And what is anybody going to do about it?

It seems a lot of Americans can't conceive of why Canadians are not so eager to join the Union. I'll give you a few reasons: - We love our country, just like you love yours. Things can always be better, but this will always be our home and native land.

I thought hard about how to express what needs to be said. The climate crisis is accelerating as is energy transition. 🇨🇦 is blessed with natural & human resources to build the future. But the oil sands are taking us for fools. Time to be on the right side of history. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Somehow my growing appreciation for Taylor Swift has coincided with my increasing hatred of the Chiefs.
