I don’t know why this of all awful things made me react viscerally, but just the evil of it…

Canada's premiers have a bad habit of bigfooting their biggest cities on everything from bike lanes to airports -- and denying them the economic and political autonomy they deserve. It's past time to fix that. And Ottawa can help. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/29/o...

Canada’s cities need a new deal. Ottawa should give it to themA constitutional amendment granting cities the power to tax and raise revenue is both perfectly logical and politically impossible. The federal government needs to find another way to give it to them ...www.nationalobserver.com

The man behind “barbaric cultural practices” hotline wants to be mayor of one of the most multicultural cities on earth. Seems like the kind of guy whose heart will be in it. At any rate I would like a reaction shot from the Bradford camp.

Yes, how dare Toronto and its residents have a say in something that directly affects *checks notes* Toronto and its residents

*whispers* you know we can do this cultural debate about art thing all the time, right? Websites and news organizations used to have culture critics on staff whose entire job was writing about books, movies, and TV. People read them and then discussed them. We have the technology to do this again.

Much like the Gardiner, it's worth asking "if this didn't already exist would we build it today?"

I’m so very sorry; what a tremendous loss ❤️

Yup, this is me too - I once brushed past my own husband in a coffee shop and didn’t notice.

I was also shocked by how much of my boys seemed hard-wired

Our lease is up this fall, and this may be the thing that tips the balance.

While we are in this Greek Mythology moment, may I remind you that Emma Thompson is adapting Pat Barker’s take on The Iliad, and she’s struggled to get it made bc the focus on what acts of war against women and survival thereafter actually look like (the core of Barker’s narrative) is too intense.

"Do the thing you can do instead of beating yourself up over not doing the thing you're not doing" is honestly life-changing, even life-saving, advice.

Yay! (And nervous that this could change.) But yay for today! Thank you to everyone who took the time to fill out the survey and for the people at #NoJetsTO for their continued advocacy.

Hmm, may have to try! Mine is yogurt with whatever fresh berries are on hand, fresh mint, chia seeds, and a bit of homemade cranberry or rhubarb sauce (made in batches and frozen).

73% of #OntEd teachers are planning to leave the profession. Only 34% of these are due to retirement. 59% of teachers leaving say it’s due to the impacts of teaching on their mental health or feeling unsafe at school. Full OCT report: click.oct.ca/ext/click/go...

I had one of these in my garden this summer too! First time I’d ever seen one. Very cool!

This makes me feel so much better; I did this exact thing at a store last week - by the end of a two minute transaction, I was speaking with a lilt and felt like a complete dumbass

"They were careless people. They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” This man did incalculable damage, while 'carried away.'
