sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I've been thinking similarly to what you mention re: Doug Ford's meddling recently. What he did was wrong not just in its own right, but in a broader sense for the damage it did to democratic legitimacy in the city. 180

sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Have you decided against trying to appeal to the SCC? I know the decision it was unanimous but there are quite a few novel legal issues at play. 110
sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 03/09/2026So many people act like they have some brave Truth when they say that there needs to be police cracking down on homeless people, but no one will utter the most forbidden truth- if we raised Ontario Works and ODSP significantly and had cheaper rent, homelessness would plummet. 000
sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 22/08/2026There's a great book about that moment- Hearts On Fire by Michael Barclay. Tons of history and fascinating first hand accounts of the Canadian indie boom. 010

sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I suspect all these people rely on Harp to make sure Trump sees their most fawning tweets and thus remain in his good graces. 000
sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Hopefully this place is next. Worst AI slop ad I've seen and there are lots of them out there. 020
sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Saw this walking around Toronto and immediately thought of this post. Really has all the elements. 000
sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Similarly, I always want to ask bike lane opponents to show me one example of a big city that overdid their cycling network. Like show me one city that put in a good connected and protected network of bike lanes, but no one uses them and traffic got much worse. 030
sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Later, it compares the govt action in this case to the harms caused in Bedford. "Removing bicycle lanes is in no way analogous to... exposing citizens to a high risk of being murdered to prevent nuisances." Sloppy reasoning. The outcome for this case was also an increased risk of being killed. 000
sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 14/08/2026The purpose of this trick is to avoid dealing with the clear evidence in the original decision of the increased harm and death that will result. The court avoids whether the Act can be connected to these harms not by engaging with the evidence but by saying it's is just repealing a law (it's not.) 100
sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 14/08/2026The decision pulls some little tricks to avoid the hard issues. The first is that it acts like the bike lanes in question are purely legal abstractions rather than physical parts of the city. It equates a positive act of requiring removal of the lanes with repealing a law. But they are not the same. 100
sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 14/08/2026This is something you see all the time in these discussions. Traffic studies are closer to physics than to ethnography or whatever. But conservatives put them on the same level as studies about racial bias (at least when they support bikes.) 030
sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 11/08/2026If nothing else do these people not see how many people are using Uber Eats and similar services every day? Whatever your thoughts about those apps, they show very obviously the utility of bikes for transport. 000
sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 06/08/2026You can also increase the income of the poorest renters (IE significantly increase welfare and disability rates.) But of course that's unmentionable politically as well. 030

sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 01/08/2026February 2025 (the Eric Adams fiasco) was the signal to every lawyer with an ounce of integrity to GTFO of this administration. Anyone who wasn't gone within a month should be turfed from the profession. 000

sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 25/07/2026I visited Victoria as a tourist in a rental car and didn't park on the street once. We parked at the hotel and mostly walked around the city- the downtown is not very big! And there's lots of parking garages. The idea that tourists would have nowhere to park without street parking is insane. 040
sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 21/07/2026The WSJ article from a few weeks back laid out his strategy pretty clearly. It's all about delay and diversion while working to build up other relationships to weaken their leverage over us. I'd guess this is considered an acceptable loss to him as part of that plan. 110

sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 16/07/2026The light is different so no creepy orange haze but it's way thicker. I could see the CN tower clearly from my balcony yesterday, today it's barely visible. 000
sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 13/07/2026One case is not a metric. There are many other cases that look nearly identical from the outset and don't breach, especially where bail was complied with for 4 years beforehand. Without hindsight, how could you have predicted this would happen, out of the hundreds of cases where it doesn't? 000
sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 13/07/2026What metrics do you consider "failing" when it comes to bail? Violent crime has been going down since the pandemic spike. You realize that even if bail is granted "correctly" 99% of the time, with 4000 arrests per week there will still be dozens who breach? 100
sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 10/07/2026If he opposes the actions of the US federal government on this issue, why would he ask Canadians to give up a powerful point of leverage without getting anything back? Most trade retaliation involves some domestic pain but this is not only painless it's downright popular. 020
sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 10/07/2026I literally plan vacations by just looking around the city I'll be visiting in Maps and making notes of restaurants/ attractions/shopping areas I think look neat. It has worked extremely well so far. 010
sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 05/07/2026I didn't see any Democratic officials or mainstream figures stick up for Canada when the threats were at their worst. At most they said tariffs were bad for the US, but no one said that Canada is a sovereign nation and that should be respected. The NYT even ran an op ed in support of annexation. 000

sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Yes, they are just as or more susceptible to groupthink as others in the organization. The ideas of these personalities become conventional wisdom, and not only do all execs think it's what they should do, but it becomes an expectation of the board/shareholders in that same info environment too. 010

sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Or even this exact neighborhood. A total teardown was just listed a couple blocks away for $1.2m. Most houses in the area go for 2-3 million. Even on College and Dundas there are only a handful of buildings over 3 floors. 110

sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 13/05/2026Not to mention even short term thinking would dictate staying out of an extremely politically toxic war. What EU leader has the political capital to spend on that even if they wanted to? 000

sibtiger50.bsky.social @sibtiger50.bsky.social · 20/03/2026I always remember running a trivia game that had a "rhyme time" category, and one of the clues was "Casper's breakfast". The provided answer was "ghost toast" but someone guessed "ethereal cereal" and I couldn't mark that wrong. 080
