NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

A open letter to Niagara politicians and the Ontario government: the Niagara Region deserves better GO Train service.
Only running 3 trips/day makes travel worse for everyone - including drivers on the QEW - and leaves billions in economic activity on the table. #ONpoli #cdnpoli #transit

![Those travelling from Niagara to Toronto end up driving to Burlington, which means more traffic for the personal and commercial drivers travelling around Lake Ontario. This also affects GO Bus service, making visitors less likely to travel. Sub-par train service means that Torontonians without a car may simply choose not to come to Niagara at all, or cut their trip short to make a specific train.
Almost every Niagara-bound trip looks like this on the platform in the summer:

It will forever confuse me why Doug Ford has a personal vendetta against the bike lanes on University Ave but has no problem with the cars that essentially park in the middle of the street

Poilievre's full platform is finally out (despite almost all of the voting days being over already) and its... bad!
Only 30 pages and ⅓ of it is pictures of him. Does not scream "ready to lead" despite calling for an election over the last two years.

I'm sure voters in Texas are going to love when they get laid off because the oil and gas company they work for is no longer profitable.

He keeps saying “groceries” is an “old time-y” word.
All this shows is he’s never gone grocery shopping but did watch “Little House on the Prairie”

It makes me LOL when stories come out like this
St Catharines Councillor complains about the Strong Mayor powers being used for housing, calling it "undemocratic"... then council approved the development 8-4 anyway.
1,902 units (10% affordable) with 1,682 parking spaces

Looks like the renovations around the St Catharines GO Station are going well! Hoping we'll also see significant housing densification around here too.

We go through this cycle every few months in Niagara:
1) a development is proposed, with higher density and average parking count
2) one half of council say it's too big
3) the other half complains about traffic
It's downtown in a city. Just put less parking if you don't want traffic

It's crazy to me how much of Canada's largest city is still made up of single-family homes and other low-rise buildings.
This picture should really have twice as many high-rises in it #TOpoli
