Looks like you’re trying to be funny with this take but it’s not funny and what he said is disgusting. If he tried making a joke out of the garbage that comes out of his mouth it would make things worse for women.

Your advocacy and dedication to supporting women who have gone through trauma and abuse, and the constant work to spread awareness is outstanding. Your book and your training left me speechless and then made me talk a lot more. Congratulations. Well deserved!

It feels like Toronto is sighing a collective “meh” when it comes to this election. There’s no fire in the electorate, no passion, no spark. Unenthusiasm across the city.

It’s important to consider both sides of the story, which is why I’ll acknowledge that if I’d committed a genocide, and that genocide’s lead investigator won the Nobel Peace Prize, I’d probably also be pretty mad.

Notable that the joint statement, while offering rhetoric support, is completely silent on any measures to help the #ICC. Hopefully that is coming. These states are not powerless. The EU, UK and Canada all have the ability to invoke measures to block the impact of U.S. sanctions.

🧵Pathetic undermining of the rules-based, international order by the Trump administration. The US doesn’t recognise the ICC, yet feels emboldened to impose financial sanctions which impede its role as the ultimate arbiter of international law.

Taxpayer money is also going to his developer buddies to build massive hospitals that sit empty because the PCs cut nurses and frontline healthcare staff. Ontario PCs will make sure the donors who keep them in power are taken care of. Taxpayers’ healthcare does not matter.

"Some of you must die" is an interesting campaign plan.
From the "Toronto Car People" facebook group:

Greetings all. The time has come.

To those who frequently reach out to ward councillors, theirs and others, I respect the perseverance and dedication. However, the source of much of the frustration routinely seen in posts here and experienced on the road by members of this group is, as most already know, Vision Zero. It is the city’s moral and sacred transportation religion, and the only effective way to tackle it is to dismantle it from the bottom up.

Unlike organized walking, transit, and cycling groups and institutions, motorists in this city number in the millions but are incredibly fragmented and decentralized. The vast majority don’t have the time to attend all of the community and council meetings on this subject because they are busy dealing with life’s obligations. If motorists, us included, are going to have any impact on transportation policy in this city, communication will have to be strategic and in numbers.

It’s also kind of wild that a 20-person patio equals 1 parked car. Cars are absolute hogs for space. And they’re almost always single-occupant.

Yesterday the cafe I work at packed up its CafeTO patio. Immediately, someone parked where the patio used to be and the spot was basically occupied all day m. It made me think of the bike lane removal thing. All those “freed up” lanes will just be parking. It won’t ease car congestion at all.

'Did he know?': Why Israel is rejecting an October 7
reckoning
The fixation on Netanyahu's failures allows Israel to avoid confronting what it has doneMedia reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was warned by the United Arab Emirates before the attacks have put his alleged responsibility back in the spotlight.The answer lies in the psychological state of Israeli society. For many Israelis, October 7 became a psychological rupture, making it difficult to reconcile their sense of humanity with their complicity in the criminal reality that followed.
The problem, then, is not that Israelis are in denial or misinformed. It is that a large portion of the society is complicit in criminality and actively avoids reckoning with it.
