Ford government to end funding for supervised consumption sites, advocates say β€” including two in Toronto In Toronto, Moss Park Overdose Prevention Site and the location at Fred Victor will lose their funding, according to letters sent to the site directors.

Ontario’s 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 itβ€”and now the low-emission, affordable, convenient shinkansen system is the envy of the world.

All this. I don’t care if some people find flying out of downtown easier. We need to stop letting these people run Toronto like it’s the place people have to be when they’re not at the cottage. We live here, we like it. Park not planes, @liberalca.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social

Save Our Waterfront - No Jets at the Island Airport

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

Peak interest: Toronto’s snow mountains that refuse to melt are a toxic hazard Reaching up to 100ft, these massive piles contain tonnes of salt that keep roads clear but pose environmental and health risks

Not the main point of the article (which is alarming), but TIL that the world’s largest salt mine is in Goderich, in southwestern Ontario.

I tried watching OBAA yesterday and turned it off after 30 minutes. I disliked it intensely and cannot understand the rave reviews it’s 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 girl’s 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.

Leading NYC Jewish groups raise β€˜deep concerns’ over Mamdani’s latest extremist associations UJA-Federation of New York called Mamdani’s recent gatherings with Mahmoud Khalil and Abdullah Akl a betrayal to his pledge to battle antisemitism

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...

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 Toronto’s waterfront as a major airport are on your watch, Olivia, they’re your legacy.

How Doug Ford made the drug problem on the TTC worse If we want to see less public drug use and people sheltering on transit, we must begin by reopening and expanding supervised consumption sites and by addressing housing unaffordability.

My latest for @thestar.com. Increasing surveillance and extending police powers doesn’t 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...

This is sort of the Trump administration in a nutshell: ill-thought out policy, no Plan B. (see also, Iran war).

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 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...
