I am not done being angry at the Ford government for cancelling supervised consumption sites, bike lanes and speed cameras. And now I have to muster the energy to fight this new attack on everyone who rents their home in Ontario.
I hate it here.

Ontario bill would look at ‘alternative options’ for ending residential leases, scrap Toronto green roof bylaw. Here are the highlights
The Ford government has tabled an omnibus bill that would make changes to a whole suite of laws and regulations, from green roofs to tenant evictions and driver’s licences.

Also, according to the draft regulations, everything about a special economic zone will be determined by “the opinion of the minister.” There are no guardrails.

First Nations asked the Doug Ford gov't for oversight measures over special economic zones (law-free areas for trusted proponents & designated projects). They asked for a public registry, an appeals process on cabinet decisions and time limits.
The government said no

Crimea is Ukraine. Donbas is Ukraine. If you can't say that then you have no business saying Alaska is USA.

MPs who lose their seat in an election receive 50% of their annual salary in severance pay and I’d love to hear someone in the media ask Pierre if he’s cashing that cheque before he tries to win another seat but now I’m being ridiculous because we all know Pierre will not be taking media questions.

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

What a crock of first-past-the-post nonsense. A fantastic representative who basically everyone likes got edged out by the unknown Conservative candidate presumably because a lot of people voted for the unknown Liberal candidate assuming that was the strategic choice
