Doug Ford knew that banning speed cameras in Ontario would cost lives. He did it anyway. He also knows that banning and removing protected bike-lanes in Ontario will cost lives. He did it anyway. Every resulting life stupidly cut short is on him.

Please understand this. The legal appeal didn’t challenge the ample and undisputed evidence in the first trial that removing protected bike-lanes would significantly endanger lives, ADD to traffic conjunction, etc. The appeal decision simply concluded that Ford had the legal right to do all that.

The Canadian GRADE, whether for beef, frozen berries, or whatever, is NOT the ORIGIN. It's a 'GRADE" system. Check packaging CAREFULLY — they're getting SNEAKY. Look on the back, the bottom, the sides, wherever… And if it doesn't specify, IT'S USian. Guaranteed! ➡️ Put it BACK, UPSIDE DOWN. 🫡 🤣

It’s time to break up the grocery monopoly. There’s a clause hiding in grocery store leases that keeps your bill high, and most people have never heard of it. It’s called a property control, and the giant chains use it to block competitors from opening anywhere near them.
