Lowell Green was a racist demagogue who used his CFRA radio show as a soapbox to rant about immigrants and target racialized communities in Ottawa

Contrary to Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe's eulogy here, Lowell wasn't proud of Canada – he wrote an entire book about how it wasn't white enough for him

Line 5 is alive

After an embarrassing start to Line 6 Finch West, the long-delayed Line 5 Eglinton-Crosstown quietly opened to great relief. The new LRT offers much-needed optimism for Toronto's transit future.

One of the things I’d like to see is a wider north-south MUP from Queen & Strachan that’s clearly a cycling route.

It’s not great walking along that path sharing it with cyclists, even though most cyclists are aware and courteous in the park.
The City of Toronto is hosting Phase 2 consultations for the Trinity Bellwoods Park Access and Circulation Study. Please complete the survey to learn more about the recommendations and suggest improvements by Thursday, March 5. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero www.toronto.ca/city-governm...

I’m not Iranian, but I find myself wondering if bringing back *The Shah* is the best idea for replacing a brutal theocracy?

May this be as successful as that First Lady doc.
Warner Bros. Discovery streaming chief J.B. Perrette calls the upcoming ‘HARRY POTTER’ series “the biggest streaming event in the history of HBO Max and arguably in streaming, period.”

He added it will be “the streaming event of the decade,” promising deeper book adaptations.

I’m opposed to capital punishment, but if we could being back John C. Woods to deal with the people responsible for this, I’d make an exception to this principle.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Kinsella was always an asshole, but he used to be a smart asshole. Not sure what happened to him.
Toronto Sun columnist Warren Kinsella is posting fake CBC News Network screenshots on X dot com falsely claiming CBC is using terms like "policepersons" and "gunperson"

And meanwhile all our mainstream news outlets only care about the tourists who have to cut their Varadero vacations short.
Canada must help Cuba. Here is my latest about Canada's long and deep relationship with the island nation, and how Carney's Davos speech turned out to be all talk and no action.
