We’re blaming our overstuffed ERs, excruciating surgery waits and family doctor deserts on exactly the wrong people. The old “blame the immigrants” narrative has made a comeback, by @drgorfinkel.bsky.social www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... via @thestar.com
In just two months, Zohran Mamdani has:
-Launched the first stage of his universal childcare program
-Rolled Trump into releasing a detained Columbia student
-Used fair wages to get New Yorkers to clear streets and sidewalks during a blizzard
FYI: This is what leadership looks like.
AXWORTHY: "The United States and Israel committed an act of aggression against the UN charter, that the evidence supporting it was not there, there was no imminent threat."
“I’m not comfortable with Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu deciding who the good guys and bad guys are in the world.” — former Canadian ambassador Jon Allen (@utoronto.ca) on the attack on Iran, with @maralkay.bsky.social (@torontomet.bsky.social) & @jeyantvo.bsky.social | Producer: Preeti Bhuyan

We tell the whole story here, with full data & analysis in 'Counting the Costs': www.falseprofits.ca/reports. Another wave of fossil-fuel-driven inflation (and its painful consequences) is not inevitable; our report lists 4 strategies to insulate Canadians from this chaos. #cdnecon #canlab
Removing the only operational government and leaving a vacuum doesn't work eg Libya, Iraq
"For me the big red flag is: does it end in the supplement shop?"
IMO this is the question we should always be asking when it comes to privatized health care - especially for historically stigmatized issues like menopause.

Even liberals are quite concerned about this .. the hawkishness.
The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.
I did not vote for you to support the USA in its acts of aggression al around the world. Trump has done more damage worldwide that any other leader, and nobody is suggesting that anyone perform ‘regime change’ in the US...
you should align yourselves with the EU leaders and distance Canada from USA
Never think that war,
no matter how necessary,
nor how justified,
is not a crime.

Mature commentary by Bob Rae on today's events in Iran. I would have preferred this tone from the Prime Minister.

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

Canada would have been better off saying nothing. You can detest the regime in Iran without supporting chaos. www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...
Pierre Poilievre: Liberal launches vicious attack... against himself. For more than a decade, this Liberal government piled on taxes, regulations, and barriers to every nation-building economic project. The fix is clear: get government out of the way. Let our workers build, invest, and create wealth once again in an affordable Canada. Quoting Toronto Star: Bureaucracy in Canada is slowing the country's ability to boost its economy, Dominic LeBlanc says #cdnpoli
Tell me you didn't read the fucking article without telling me you didn't read the fucking article.
LeBlanc was referring to provinces, most of whom are conservative, slow-walking the elimination of trade barriers.
Just an utter clown show.
Our @alexbozikovic.bsky.social on the proposed new Ontario Sciece Centre. (Spoiler: He does not like it one bit.)
Bottom line: this report is much better than the headline number suggests. And the per-capita-GDP bugs should be cracking champagne: up very slightly in 4Q (despite the inventory quirk), up 1.1% since end-2023 (largely thx to falling pop'n… reinforcing why this is such a misleading metric).
Don't tell me there's no money to shelter the vulnerable among you when there's apparently billions to incarcerate them.
As a deaf person only too aware of that fact
Surprise, they’re human
A thick sheet of dirty snow and ice lines the sidewalk where a passenger is trying to get off a TTC bus.
The sidewalks on Spadina still aren’t clear of snow and ice, so passengers getting on or off TTC shuttle buses have slippery steps to deal with.
Who will be our Mayor Mamdani?!
A mom seeking refuge from the Ukraine or Sudan war takes her child to the emergency ward and Poilievre wants to make sure her child is turned away.
He's running on the MAGA playbook of making race blaming great again.

here’s my latest on how Minister Solomon can’t just be the Minister for AI Ribbon Cuttings, he needs to work with Minister Miller to ensure consumer facing AI products like chat bots are folded into online harms & subject to a duty to act responsibly

This dud was appointed by Carney to be the Liberal candidate in my riding. Since Toronto Centre would elect just about anyone if they ran under the LPC banner, I feel especially wronged with Solomon as my MP.
As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.
Just possible that the tighter net for #visitorsofcolour also catches #white?
