Annex businesses tell Ford to back off Bloor bike lanes Stores in the Annex say the Bloor bike lanes have been a big boost to business. As Michelle Mackey reports, the neighborhood's BIA wants the province to back off its new bill that could see the lanes ...

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data.

Safe bike-lanes mean business.

Pay No Attention To The Pillaging Behind The Curtain The biggest news story of the modern era is being buried right before your eyes.

A rhetorical piece, but this is a big truth too seldom remembered. The concentration of wealth is a system feature of capitalism, but the speed of it has accelerated enormously in recent years and decades.

No place for politics in F-35 cockpits as Canadian fighter jet pilots get ready to train at U.S. base | CBC News While procurement for Canada’s complete fighter jet fleet remains up in the air, advocates say politics need to be set aside as members of the Royal Canadian Air Force head to Luke Air Force Base in A...

CBC continues to scold Canadians on the need to keep our "politics" out of the discussion on whether we get strong-armed into buying the F-35.
Lol... the F-35 is all about politics.
It is the politics of threat and intimidation against our independence.

This long, meandering post is pleasantly brilliant and well worth the read, even if you are not particularly interested in the by-election

Conceived in Bootle, my father had 7 years of schooling, was a strong trade unionist, and would be considered a dinosaur today for his views on gender rolls and sexuality.

I am the only one in the family to go to university. I have lived my entire life on the balance point your describe so well.

Canadian here. This meandering post is brilliant. You manage to explain without patronizing or demonizing. I can always quibble about fine points, but I think you have captured the heart of the change and how it is perceived differently by different people.

It is the decent and compassionate thing to do. It also makes economic sense.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBSβ€”oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.

They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

This is an important decision. It also explains why Labour is trying to dramatically reduce the number of jury trials.

Two weeks ago this guy announced he was providing legal help to the agent who shot Renee Good. That's how quickly the winds are shifting.

False dichotomy. I strongly support both activities.

Alternating Labour and Conservative governments have overseen the continuing decline in quality of life and social mobility to vast swaths of the population. Most of those looking down on their (yes, wrongheaded) desperate search for a way out, are doing very well in the status quo. It is noticed

Perhaps there is a general feeling that the main parties are all defending a status quo that is crushing them slowly. Perhaps they see little personal loss from trying anything new.

Mock if you will. But those doing well now will not be listened to by those losing ground.

That covers pretty much all of the plausible criteria.

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

Message to fellow journalists (and anyone claiming to be one): do not β€œpolice-involved shooting” executions in broad daylight.

Obfuscating language like that is completely journalistically unnecessary and, even worse, sanitizes reality.

Words have meaning. Use the right ones.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
