Front page of Toronto star

Will anyone stand up to Ford? My airport column makes a rare appearance on the front page of the Toronto Star today. Local democracy steamrolled. Backroom decisions. Liberals acquiescing. Feckless & weak establishment carrying his water. Fait accompli? Read here:

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

What's with the unfilled moat between the upper and lower tiers?

My god…

inkskinned on tumblr “if you take medication for that, you’ll be taking medication all your life!!” yeah, and?? bud, i already put on my glasses every morning. it’s like. a condition of mine, not a side hobby i’m pursuing irresponsibly. lady-harrowhark and the thrilling sequel: “taking meds for that is the easy way out!” right you are my dude, i’m a huge fan of not making things harder than they have to be

A disgraceful fall from grace for the Paralympics, which had been a relative moral leader vs the IOC.

Juggling symptoms, treatments and life.

Whenever I achieve this, I think of you!

The president of the United States killed children to distract from raping children.

February 28th, 2026 NDP statement on Iran bombings Following the events in Iran, Alexandre Boulerice, NDP Foreign Affairs Critic, issued the following statement: "The NDP strongly condemns the American and Israeli bombings of Iran. This is a dangerous escalation that risks dragging the entire region into a major conflict. The oppressive and bloody regime of the Ayatollahs is reprehensible, but its nuclear program must be managed through the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). In fact, its Director General, Mr. Grossi, recently indicated that he was working with the Iranian administration to resume inspections and reiterated that there could be no solution other than a diplomatic one. The NDP deplores the Carney government's decision to blindly support this dangerous venture by Israel and Donald Trump's administration. We want Canada to be a voice for diplomacy, peace, and international law."

Here is @ndp.ca’s statement condemning US-Israeli military strikes in Iran and calling on the Carney government to defend international law

We now know what Trump's "locker room banter" looks like The locker room, in the mind of the president, is where misogyny is not only permitted but protected.

"Though Trump’s call with the men’s hockey team is not the same as the Access Hollywood recording, they share the same misogyny familiar to many of us.

That men are owed by women to accept insulting banter. That they are entitled to have their disrespect overlooked."

Local woman wakes up, is gonna need a bigger void for all our screaming, makes oatmeal.

Not even an Ealing stopover? C'est tragique!

My Canada welcomed boatloads (200K) of refugees from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. My Canada welcomed 300K Ukrainian refugees. None of these are responsible for Conservative Premiers egregious fuck up of our health care 😡

It feels like we’re simultaneously living next to a dangerous superpower and a sad little kleptocracy.

My exact thought.

I wondered if you'd been struck down. Rough week here too.

Canada is not on track to meet any of its climate targets, a new study says A new study published Friday by the Canadian Climate Institute says Canada is not on track to meet any of its climate targets — not the 2026 interim emissions reduction target, the 2030 Paris Agreemen...

It really has been disturbing to see how much Carney doesn't care about the habitability of the planet. He truly doesn't give a shit about what Earth looks like in 30, 50, 100 years.

Likes them so much, he ditched the donut!

Sad but true, especially on the second goal.

Only watching hockey.

As thousands were likely exposed to measles at a Brandon festival, a doctor and a virologist are warning those who have not been vaccinated against the disease to avoid large public gatherings to prevent getting infected.

I really can’t watch any of these ice flip videos without thinking about how a white man is being rewarded for accomplishing what a Black woman was punished for doing 30 years ago

Surya Bonaly was an incredible athlete and she was treated like shit for it

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Your periodic reminder that the expression about "a few bad apples" does not mean that the rest are fine, it means that the rot spreads from the bad ones and corrupts the whole barrel

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Not surprising at all from him.
