"Safe Parkside" filed a Freedom of Information request to get top speeds from the ill-fated & much abused Parkside camera. The speed limit is 40km/h.

i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.
On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout.
On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar.
This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media.
Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵

the real thing issue is that we have some groups of young men *claiming* to be driven right because of problems like male isolation when the right is not actually offering material solutions to those problems. what the right is offering is social and political power over women.

Murray Sinclair was a Senator, judge and university chancellor.
But his greatest contribution was as chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in the early-2010s.
This is the story of a lifelong champion of Indigenous rights.

I was talking about local journalism and forgot to mention the invaluable work of @spacing.bsky.social and @johnlorinc.bsky.social, who did the legwork to investigate Therme. But no one listened.
Want more? At @spacingstore.bsky.social , @johnlorinc.bsky.social has been investigating Therme for years (harassed by their hench-comms). Go back thru his archive. Maybe the NYT will wake more up in Ontario who shrug at Cdn reporting.

Historically, Hamilton is known as Steeltown but it really should be Biomedical Town. We are truly spoiled with incredible doctors and scientists. This is such an exciting development!!
THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at McMaster University have discovered a NEW peptide antibiotic that targets a broad range of disease-causing bacteria INCLUDING those RESISTANT to existing antibiotics. This discovery marks the first potential new class of antibiotics in NEARLY 30 YEARS. 🧪🧵⬇️

One of the fundamental changes wrought by the populist wannabee's is the belief that one's party can' lose without something nefarious happening. Part of doubting democracy itself.

The thing about this video with Trudeau & Miller is that you know that no such video of Poilievre exists, or ever can exist. I'm a f*cking Indian, I have serious issues with this country, but I'll never hate it as much as PP does. This is home, and I can't hate someone who sees it the same way.

The best way to defend democracy is by participating. If you're in Ontario and you're eligible to vote, now is the time to show up. #onpoli (also kudos to the Elections Ontario staff, I was in and out in less than 2 min!)

Advice to Canadians post-Saturday:
Yes, we should cut the USA and its wares out of procurement and private purchases
No, we should not have “buy Canadian” policies. We should contract and buy the best in the world, minus USA. National-preference policies are the very thing we’re protesting
