β€œHeated Rivalry creator Jacob Tierney takes a break from writing season 2 to tell The National’s Ian Hanomansing about the show’s phenomenal success, and why it's so much more than just a gay, smutty hockey series.”

Dear Canadians,

Stop buying US made vehicles.

We can cripple their auto industry by simply not buying American-made cars.

Buy the ones made anywhere but the USA.

Our power as consumers is in our money. Don't buy their shit. There are plenty of alternatives out there.

One of these

A city's priorities become as clear as the spaces they choose to maintain in the winter.

Alt Text: Doug Ford, currently under RCMP investigation, panders to his base by wearing an OPP sweatshirt while pretending to pack boxes at a food bank instead of improving rent control, increasing the minimum wage, building homes, increasing ODSP, or helping in any meaningful way at all really.

TTC what’s up ?! Trying to take transit downtown on a Saturday night in December with -5C πŸ₯Ά and planned track work + shuttle buses?! No wonder people drive in the city even if it’s gridlocked.

School gate risk We support those communities that want 20mph where peopleare

For children walking or cycling to school, "outside the school" is the least dangerous part of their journey. Children need 20mph limit protection on the whole of their home to school route. 20mph "just outside schools" contemptuously disregards duty of care on child mobility

Why do people drive?

TTC bus - wait 20 minutes for it to arrive and another 23 minutes for it to move?!

I was spoiled by connections this morning to travel 8km which would take me 30 minutes if roads clear & safe #torontottc
