The Fall-Winter 2025 legislative session is a full assault on municipalities, schools, pedestrians, cyclists, local democracy, and accountability.
Everything Ford does is to consolidate power, this sucks
There’s much chatter about Ford changing local government structure. What does it mean for Waterloo Region?

I'm not minimizing any of the countless other reasons he should be drafting his resignation.
It's that he said this to a woman. In her workplace. In front of her colleagues. While she does her job.

Strikes me that arguments that AI will make xy & z intellectual work obsolete are broadly similar to arguing that food delivery apps make kitchens obsolete.
At a superficial level you understand the point, but there's no escaping the fact that someone in the process needs to know how to fkn cook.

So the Ford appointed supervisors will make more than all School Board Trustees combined, and that money will come out of the education budget that’s supposed to go to student needs. Shame! globalnews.ca/news/1151063... #topoli #onpoli #onted

few ideas have damaged the average psyche more than ‘the customer is always right.’ it should be a little bit humiliating, being a customer. you should walk into any service transaction knowing that the other person, and not you, is in control over whether you get your treats

He gaslights our nation, blames Canadians for being mean to the US. He accuses of us being anti-American.
He says we are mean and nasty and doesn't like us saying Elbows Up.
