September 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day. Today is a time to raise awareness of the ongoing impacts of residential schools and remember the children who never came home. How are you honouring the day?

I often think about the speed camera chopping vigilante who returned to the scene of their crime on Parkside Drive multiple times but Toronto police didn’t catch them & it led to Doug Ford banning speed cameras for 16 million people & now speeding is at epidemic levels & people will die.

I'm pretty mad about how the USA is treating Canada, but they are also running concentration camps for migrants and blowing up civilians in the Caribbean because it makes them feel manly. I'm honestly not sure that the way the US is treating Canada cracks the Top 5 most shameful things, tbh.

Bad news for pedestrians who don't own a car, courtesy of the Doug Ford government. www.thestar.com/business/per...
What new changes mean for pedestrians not covered by insurance

Another big change is that these newly optional accident benefits will only apply to the named insured, the spouse of the insured, dependants of the insured and of the insured’s spouse, and people specified in the policy as drivers of the automobile. That means if a pedestrian or cyclist is hurt in an accident, the driver’s standard no-fault coverage will apply, but the pedestrian will have to rely on their own auto insurance policy for optional accident benefits.

Harvey Naglie, consumer advocate and former senior policy adviser with the Ontario Ministry of Finance, says he’s concerned for gig workers like food-delivery cyclists who could be hit without coverage. For someone who ends up in the hospital or homebound for six months without insurance, he says, the only prospect they would have to get compensated would be to take the driver to court.

Jay Ralston, president of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association, says people who are injured and don’t have their own optional auto accident insurance benefits will “almost certainly” be required to rely on a public purse of some sort for benefits.

I guess Carney has zero standards. A list of Gladu's greatest hits: 1) opposing cannabis legalization, she read a poem in the House urging MPs to "keep our great country safe from all the weed." 2) in 2020, she suggested using the military to end pipeline protests... bsky.app/profile/thes...

Carney is a deep blue Liberal for sure but I don't know about this one. It underscores why I think MPs should resign instead of crossing the floor. That area is Conservative through and through and I have a hard time believing she would win under the Liberal banner.
