I'm sorry... WHAT?!? "Eight of the province’s biggest regional governments in Ontario will have their leaders directly APPOINTED by the province." This is a Trump-style attack on democracy. This is NOT OKAY. globalnews.ca/news/1175717...

Ford government planning to appoint regional chairs, give them sweeping new powers | Globalnews.ca
The same legislation will shrink the size of regional governments in both Niagara and Simcoe County, providing chairs their own version of strong mayor powers.

Doug Ford uses his private cellphone to conduct public business to skirt Freedom of Information rules. He said turning those phone records over would breach his privacy. The court said, oops, that only made his phone records subject to FOI. So now he’s trying to change the FOI rules instead.

I am begging my fellow Canadians to take a break for a second from obsessing about American corruption to focus on our home grown versions. Ford is a corrupt crony goon who has done countless shady backroom deals. He wants to remove one of our most powerful tools to hold him accountable. Fuck that!

The number of businesses that now ask for tips seems to have grown exponentially - I thoroughly dislike it. I'm one of the worker-owners @twbcoop.bsky.social - we've been tip-free since day 1 & it's so much better for staff & customers. We're also a living wage employer.
