Such amazingly articulate women. May they one day be able to return to Afghanistan to inspire and lead their countrywomen.
At the @meidascanada.ca town hall in Victoria a group of young Afghan women showed up. They were determined to share their story of resistance.

The City of Toronto has made excellent strides in improving safety on our streets. Why is Ford so intent on tearing it apart? Why is ending “the war on cars” more important than the safety of Toronto’s children?
Doug Ford’s speed camera ban could mean cuts to crossing guards, traffic safety agents without more provincial funding, Olivia Chow warns
Doug Ford’s speed camera ban could mean cuts to crossing guards, traffic safety agents without more provincial funding, Olivia Chow warns
“Immediate funding” for 40 municipalities to replace their speed camera initiatives doesn’t cover the $245 million cost for Toronto alone, Olivia Chow said Thursday.

This is real loss for the City of Toronto and the environment. Why is it that any steps forward for safety or the environment in Toronto are constantly being undermined by the province?

I’ve been alternating between yelling encouraging words to the Jays and yelling about developing sensitive ecosystems (that are treaty lands) at these ads. Good to see the article taking on Ford’s misleading advertising (that costs us a fortune).
Those Ring of Fire ads during World Series broadcasts might have you thinking mines are up and running in the remote region in northern Ontario, but that's not the case and the Ford government should be upfront about it, writes @elaineanselmi.bsky.social thenarwhal.ca/opinion-blue...
