Doug Ford is changing a law to shield politicians from scrutiny The changes will be introduced after the legislature resumes on March 23.

A surprising amount of interest in this story today, suggesting it may not be the β€œinside baseball” purview of navel-gazing journalists that some politicos might have hoped.

I’d love a better/bigger β€œbasket” design - maybe start with a survey looking into it anyway. Trailers deserve a study too, and shared cargo bikes are also getting some traction in a few cities.

This is a nuclear bomb to Ontario's democracy. The Ford government wants to obfuscate absolutely everything it does.

An image of Uranus taken by Voyager 2 as it passed by the planet in January 1986. The planet is a soothing icy green-blue color. The surface looks milky - most likely from its mostly hydrogen-helium atmosphere.

The planet Uranus on a black background. The planet appears blue with a large, white patch taking up the right half. The patch is whitest at the center, then fades into blue at it expands from right to left. A thin outline of Uranus is also white. Around the planet is a system of nested rings. The outermost ring is the brightest while the innermost ring is the faintest. Unlike Saturn’s horizontal rings, the rings of Uranus are vertical and so they appear to surround the planet in an oval shape. There are 9 blueish white dots scattered around the rings.

At center is the planet Uranus, a blue globe with a large white spot occupying most of the planet. It’s surrounded by a series of rings that get brighter as you move outward. Beyond the rings are 14 moons appearing as points of light. The moons vary in brightness with the brightest, Miranda, just above 9 o'clock.

Many people have been using our interactive crash map, which plots all crashes leading to serious injuries or fatalities since 2023.

We just did a huge revamp of it, and introduced the ability to filter by location, demographic, mode share, and more. Check it out! visionzerovancouver.ca/crash-map/

Absolute Queen behavior from the Zamboni Rider today at the Minnesota Frost game.

Minnesota Frost fan on the zamboni has a sign reading No ICE, no war, no kings, which was immediately taken off the big screen once it was shown on camera.

Fans continue to let out cheers, but just began booing as a team official removed it on the ice.

In the UK, use of personal email is another piece of the Epstein scandal. In Ontario, Doug Ford & his government want all of their discussions to be SECRET, especially perhaps the stuff they used their personal phones for over the last 8 years...

Doug Ford & government - under investigation and already caught in sweet heart Greenbelt deals - has decided that he doesn’t want anyone to see his phone calls & communications, so he wants a new law to limit that RETROACTIVELY. Fuck that. #onpoli

E-Bikers Ride Much Farther and More Frequently Than Regular Bikers They are not 'cheating,' but are serious transportation.

What is β€œthe E-Bike Effect?”

β€œThose who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%.”

Fewer car trips.

If you support a petition that violates Treaty rights, then you support the violation of Treaty rights.

I don't Sports much, wasn't born a Leafs fan, so this is easier for me than many of my TO friends, but WTF how is this still going on.

"That they thought this kid (Fraser Minten) was disposable explains why the Leafs should hire a responsible adult to be present during all future negotiations."

YTZ is the biggest waste of land in Canada. It takes in 4% of Toronto's air traffic and obstructs what should be the country's greatest urban park. TPA has a profound conflict of interest. Of course they want it to expand, and of course they have reports claiming this is very very important.

Local residents like the airport? So what? They would like this better, if anyone had the guts to offer it. An easily accessed 210-acre Toronto Island Park that's almost as big as Central Park.

If Ford actually wants to do something visionary, it is this.
