There will be someone willing to take the job. It might be a ramshackle Ford crony outfit but it will be someone

Just for the record, it’s definitely a renter’s market in Toronto. I just moved in to a unit for $400 less than what they were asking 2 years ago.

Very unfortunatly I am closely following the coalition talks in some random West-East German state that makes up 3% of their population because they fucked around and put the Nazis in charge

You aren’t wrong, and it’s possible the OLP prefers Ford over Stiles.

Ontario does not deserve Ford, but the opposition parties do for being unable to sign a damn non competition agreement

As a bigger question, what are the political changes we can reasonably expect from Democratic controlled Congress? Executive orders and the Supreme Court’s shadow docket are really all Trump needs. People are very hopeful for the midterms, and I am unsure as to why.

Reposting a huge paragraph from the authoritarian leader’s proprietary social media site with the tag “I am in strong agreement with the President” no matter the context is a strong signal that this mould of Democrat does not have what it takes to resist Trump.

There’s no higher priority than climate change mitigation and adaptation. There is no adjustment period or new baseline, just every decade warmer than the last for the foreseeable future aka centuries. Everything is within the climate system and floor of business as usual has fallen out beneath it

This government is naive about what is coming. Famine, armed conflict, disease and natural disasters are basically the horsemen of the apocalypse, greed is idolatry, and hell is a hotter climate. Not to get too Christian with it. Point being: 34M is a pittance www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

When people ask was *this* heatwave caused by climate change they are referring to this heatwave and its particular extreme heat, which was impossible before warming, not the concept of heatwaves. Besides being confusing, this “it’s complicated” answer is also wrong considering the question!

Carney’s legacy might be going to the mat for 1 (or 2) publicly funded oil pipelines + airport and failing to do the same for HSR. Hard to square with his climate finance background, unless he was far more interested in finance than climate.

NEW: Doug Ford railed against his own MPPs for claiming hotel stays in downtown Toronto, telling them they'd all have to pay it back. The thing is, it was actually the government that told them to use the perk in an email last year. #Onpoli globalnews.ca/news/1197496...

The PCs are having a bad time. The corruption isn’t new but it’s sticking to them for the first time (hotel charges, Dunlop’s disaster interview). When voters look at who to turn to, it will be the NDP who have been putting feet to fire this whole time.

Friendly reminder that to the extent these extreme climate events are ominous portents of things to come, they are also reality *today*, and will not only become more frequent but their nature will get more extreme as well.
