I just got this πŸ‘‡ in an email from Toronto Hydro. They're using the "X" platform to report power outages in Toronto.

Seriously?!?

X has become a toxic platform, and should not be used by credible public institution.

Anyone else concerned that @torontohydro.bsky.social will be posting their outage updates only on the Nazi site? So frustrated with public services and government continuing to use that racist and dangerous platform. @evansolomon.bsky.social #toronto #socialmedia @juliedabrusin.bsky.social

Closing Central Madrid To Cars Resulted In 9.5% Boost To Retail Spending, Finds Bank Analysis City of Madrid significantly boosted the takings of its shops and restaurants last Christmas by banning cars from the CBD, finds an analysis by Spain's second largest bank.

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business β€” closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY.

There was also a 71% drop in air pollution.

One of my most β€œpinch-me” moments was working with Catherine O’Hara on the Audible adaptation of Anne of Green Gables, directed by Megan Follows. Catherine was so kind, so present, so funny, so heartbreaking, so warm, so talented, so vibrant. I will forever treasure that time with her.

β€œTo be absolutely clear, and I said this to the president. I meant what I said in Davos,” PM Carney said to reporters on Parliament Hill, Tuesday

When asked specifically whether he did retract parts of the speech, as Bessent claimed, Carney said β€œno.”

Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

If you believe the polls, Donald Trump has an approval rating of under 40%. America is hitting the streets against his gestapo.

Doug Ford's approval rating... 34%.

But because of the ball washers and bootlickers of #CdnMediaColludes, we're sitting quietly while being robbed and disenfranchised.

Alex Pretti, the man shot by ICE in Minneapolis, appears to have previously worked with the federal government at the VA.

There is a photo of him on the VA website, where he’s cited as part of a medical research team.

One chief executive present described the atmosphere as β€œtense”, while another said it was β€œnoisy and spicy”.

One of the hecklers was Al Gore, the former US vice-president, according to two executives present.

Trump's commerce secretary Howard Lutnick was heckled while speaking at a dinner at Davos. Christine Lagarde, head of the European Central Bank, walked out of the event. Al Gore (!!!) openly booed him.

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.
