I stand w/the residents of the Garvaghy Road in Portadown. Nobody should feel intimidated living in their own homes. Extremists in the Orange Order & Unionism are damaging ordinary people in N. Ireland w/this nonsense,in particular the very Unionist community they claim to "protect". Shame on them.

Political Unionism, at the behest of Bryson et al, has picked at the sorest sectarian scab of the last 30 years, to create a festering wound. Utterly depressing considering the glimpse of the future we had during the Fleadh. They only wish to drag us back. Solidarity with the residents of Garvaghy.

will say it again: the most effective way to curb far right agitators like Lowe, "Tommo" et. al. would be to stop their ability to earn money for it from social media or live streaming. So much of it is grifting for revenue, not attention.

The speed of adoption of EVs in Europe is astonishing. The trend driven in part, no doubt, by the skyrocketing price of petrol/gas and diesel. The motoring public in Europe are moving much faster than Europe's auto industry planned.

Bradford complains that, on a weekly basis, he sees someone smoking crack on the 505 streetcar, which is perplexing given how much his rhetoric around the city's finances suggests there's at least one famed crack-smoker he holds in high esteem.

I suspect Eby looked to Ontario in 2025 and figured a cynical early election call with the main opposition party in disarray would be an easy win, and he is most likely correct. However, an earlier Ontario election in 1990, when David Peterson made the same call didn't work out so well.

The tightrope challenge for carmakers, not just German ones, is that the market wants electric cars now. However, this does not align with the slow transition towards 2035+ that carmakers had planned, which would have involved ongoing high returns on past investments in combustion engine models.

For those of you cheering Ford's gov't removing bike lanes from Bloor et al.,you realise it will not increase car lanes,as it will return to being filled w/ parked cars. Indeed discouraging cycling,as this will do,don't kid yourselves,will inevitably lead to more cars on the rd,increasing gridlock.

There’s lots of empty land in and near Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster, and for that matter at the very spacious estates of the tech oligarchs and the nice campuses of the tech companies. Those seem like easy places to put data centers.

Sharing my current favourite bit of Canadian-ness (Canidity?) Meet IFK Göteborg player Canadá. He is also a Canadian U20s international. So if you're a Canadian football hipster, looking for a niche kit, get an IFK one with Canadá on the back.

Observations. 1)The ban on sales of US alcohol in 8 of Canada's 10 provinces, including the numbers 1,2,& 3 in total population really hurt,in particular the American liquor & wine sectors. 2)Even if US products return to the shelves,guaranteed they will sell in much lower volumes. SO MUCH WINNING!

The Guardian once asked me 'what one change would you make to achieve Black equality in Britain?' and it feels appropriate to share my answer again

Athena Kugblenu: Allow Black people to be mediocre too!
Athena Kugblenu
I would like to replace #blackexcellence with #blackmediocrity. True equality is when our talent:recognition ratio is allowed to be as broad as white people’s. Lewis Hamilton had to win two Formula One titles before he bagged BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 2014; Greg Rusedski only had to get battered by Pat Rafter to win his. Kwasi Kwarteng steered the economy towards an iceberg and got sacked. Jeremy Hunt drove the NHS over a cliff, now he’s chancellor. Don’t get me started on how many football clubs get ruined by freshly retired white footballers while very qualified Black managers are overlooked. When the arc of the moral universe bends towards Black people failing upwards as their peers do, we will be in the promised land.

R.I.P. Lloyd Robertson, O.C., who anchored both CBC's The National and the CTV National News. From 1970 until 2011, Robertson was the person that millions of Canadians watched to better understand the world. His 41 years as an anchor is one of longest tenures in the history of broadcasting. 1/2
