Looks like TTC has a bunch of plain clothes fare inspectors roaming around...
Just in case you were wondering for no particular reason. They are all carrying shoulder bags with their notepads and scanners in them.

Just saw a blue jay and a squirrel fighting in a tree and I'll be damned if that isn't one of the most Toronto things you'll ever see.

Honestly, it sounds like he is asking his Canadian fans to write in his name as a vote, and uh, they should probably do that if it will make them feel better.
I'd love to see a tally of all the write-in votes for Trump. I don't think they get tallied and just count as a spoiled ballot, but still...

I have been hearing about this idea of giving everybody healthcare and social services to support raising children, including but not limited to child care support. This would massively reduce the burden on wome- hello? Are you still there? hello?
The Trump administration is assessing ways to persuade women in the U.S. to have more children, as a movement grows on the right to reverse declining birthrates and push conservative family values. Some pitched ideas include cash baby bonuses and menstrual cycle classes. nyti.ms/4jh3UAR

TY @ericmgarcia.bluesky.social Speaking or nonspeaking, employed or not, married or unmarried, #Autistics are not tragedies. We are human beings who deserve lhuman rights. We are disabled, not disposable. The current head of HHS, however, we could do without.
While RFK Jr. Made his remarks saying autistic life is a tragedy that destroys families, I sat right in front of him and made it a point to let him know he was wrong. My latest for @msnbc.com

“These are kids who will never pay taxes,” HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said of autistic children Wednesday. "They’ll never hold a job.”

Reminder as we watch measles rates climb in Canada that *this* is Poilievre's attitude towards vaccination during a public health emergency.
MMR vaccination has long been mandated for health care workers.
Would a Poilievre govt ban the MMR mandate in health care during a huge measles outbreak?

Peirre Poilievre has been in parliament for 20 years and the only bill he has ever passed was a voter suppression bill. He has a net worth of 25 million dollars. He won’t get security clearance. He repeats kremlin propaganda.
