I’m in standing room at @torontobluejays.bsky.social , behind accessible seating, where a kid/teen in a wheelchair is distraught because he can’t see anything with everyone standing up. If anyone happens to be in a box or something with extra seats, this is your chance to do a good deed.

PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

All Postmedia publications should be banned
Today you are going to see nearly every editorial piece written in Postmedia publications blaming Canadians or liberals for the trade war. This is to distract from the fact that they have American ownership, and have been arguing against Canadian interests for sometime.
