So according to six #HamOnt councillors, @cameronkroetsch.bsky.social resistance to Doug Ford's #Bill212, is part of a "War on Automobiles"?
Here's Part 1 of my attempt to find the language they found threatening and "divisive". 🙄

Good concept, but it needs to happen in the community, across the community, when people can actually attend

“More and more cabinet members — Rubio, Miller, Noem — live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. There’s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.”

This is entirely the fault of Pierre Poilievre, conservatives and right wing nut jobs.
They managed to turn health and science into a political issue.
And sadly people were all to willing to be misled.

Measles, once eliminated, is back.
As expected, Canada has lost its measles-free status because of the long-running outbreak there. With it goes the #measles elimination status of the entire zone of the Americas, the only division of the #WHO to ever have achieved measles elimination. www.statnews.com/2025/11/10/m...
Canada loses measles elimination status — as does the entire Americas region
Canada has formally lost its measles elimination status, the country’s public health agency announced, triggering the loss of that status throughout all of the Americas.

Cars are great, and all. But what about wi…. *checks calendar* …mid autumn? 🤪
Three hundred collisions across the GTA on a major snow day seems like a lot!
… Then why doesn’t the news report that statistically there are over 130 collisions EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR, just within the City of Toronto?

Yup. There’s a real dissonance watching MorningLive or Breakfast TV between the steady stream of collisions causing death, injury and commuter delay, and the ads featuring the very cars and pickups causing all of it.
Maybe the news doesn’t report about the real toll of car-dominant infrastructure because they’re too reliant on advertising money from car companies?

Wow! Liberals axed the luxury yacht tax, private jet tax and federal vacant house tax!? No wonder CPC are bleeding MPs to them!
As the dust settles on Carney’s first budget, it’s become increasingly clear which Canadians he thinks need to make “sacrifices.”
Hint: it’s not the ultra-wealthy.
In fact, it’s clear why someone who still considers himself a
conservative feels at home in this Liberal government:

Most people don’t know that with SNAP you are banned from buying “foods that are hot at the point of sale”. So even if you have SNAP (which people don’t now) you can’t get cooked food. Which means you need to also actually have the resources to PREPARE a “healthy” meal.
Thinking about the social stigma against eating fast food in a country where poor people are being starved by the govt, the cost of groceries and fresh vegetables are astronomical, and a cheeseburger at McDonald’s costs $3.50.
“Clean” and “healthy” eating rhetoric is racist, ableist, and classist.
