Ontarioβs Premier Ford is a murderer.
There was lots of protest when #Japan announced it was building the world's first bullet-train in the early 1960s.
They went ahead and built itβand now the low-emission, affordable, convenient shinkansen system is the envy of the world.

All this. I donβt care if some people find flying out of downtown easier. We need to stop letting these people run Toronto like itβs the place people have to be when theyβre not at the cottage. We live here, we like it. Park not planes, @liberalca.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social
We demand that the Ford Government immediately abandon plans to fly jets from the #Toronto Island Airport. Sign now and tell your elected representatives that this is the wrong plan for our waterfront! share.nwmd.social/s/GdxzSYG8
Not the main point of the article (which is alarming), but TIL that the worldβs largest salt mine is in Goderich, in southwestern Ontario.

Same!
I tried watching OBAA yesterday and turned it off after 30 minutes. I disliked it intensely and cannot understand the rave reviews itβs gotten. Sinners, on the other hand, had me in its thrall from the first moment to the last.
This is spreading all over Bluesky today and is wildly misleading--it is from eight months ago and it is in reference to working with NATO allies and arming Ukraine.
NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girlβs school in Iran.
It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades.
Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties.
175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.
We need to stop accepting that these are "leading Jewish groups." They are not democratically accountable to the majority of American Jews, and I suspect the majority of NYC Jews do not care if Mamdani shares iftar with Mahmoud Khalil. I certainly do not! jewishinsider.com/2026/03/mamd...
Absolutely!
Good! More riojo and Iberian ham for the rest of us! π¨π¦
Time for #Canada to open up its refugee program to Americans impacted by these cruel and inhumane rulings.
Begging Olivia Chow to not set the tone by *meeting Doug Ford in his home* and to start lying down in front of some tractors. Elevated Gardiner rebuild, decimation of Ontario Place and the Science Centre and now Torontoβs waterfront as a major airport are on your watch, Olivia, theyβre your legacy.
quick reminder that NT's production of The Importance of Being Earnest, starring human ray of sunshine Ncuti Gatwa, will be streaming FOR FREE on YouTube this weekend

Damn, it sure would be awful if a theocratic rogue state had access to nuclear weapons.
My latest for @thestar.com. Increasing surveillance and extending police powers doesnβt solve homelessness or drug use on transit β it merely opens up the broader public to arbitrary punishment, including the potential for jail time and $10,000 fines. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
I can't compete with this.

You guys are WILD!
Forget work! Iβm having trouble functioning in general.
This is sort of the Trump administration in a nutshell: ill-thought out policy, no Plan B. (see also, Iran war).

Congratulations, WaPo, you did it, you published the worst take
Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
The best detail of this Noem saga is that she is now in charge of the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The IRIS Dena, a prized destroyer in the Iranian Navy, had participated in an international naval exercise in India last month. The ship had been making its way back toward Iran from Visakhapatnam, a city in India where the joint exercise ended on Feb. 25. The United States was among the many participants in the drills.
so the US Navy fired on and sank a vessel returning home from a joint exercise that the US Navy also participated in ... is that skating kinda close to the line of perfidy? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/w...
