Doug Ford has fallen short. Vote for change.

As comforting as continuity may seem, what Ontario needs is change. Liberals, NDP, Greens: take your pick. A vote for any is a vote for a better Ontario. #StarEditorial
Star Editorial Board: Doug Ford has fallen short. Vote for change
The Progressive Conservative leader had seven years to tackle the challenges facing this province, and he couldn't get it done. It's time for change.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Sharing these numbers because I wasn't aware of them myself. In the US:

* 1 in 5 unvaccinated people who get measles are hospitalized

* 1 in 20 children with measles get pneumonia

* 1 to 3 in 1000 die

If you're not immune, close contact with an infected person gives you measles 90% of the time
Measles – NFID
Measles is a highly contagious respiratory disease that can result in severe, sometimes permanent, complications including pneumonia, seizures, brain damage, and even death

Paris was smart to initially brand @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s strategic steps around urban biking & walking, greening, place-making and kid-friendly streets as solutions to URBAN POLLUTION, something people understood. It worked, dramatically improving air quality. But they did MUCH more than that.

In summary, Ford's bike lane removals will, according to a new City Hall report:

- Cost $75 million in direct costs and sunk costs.
- Make traffic much, much worse for at least nine months during construction to remove lanes
- Have minimal long-term impact on car travel times.

It feels a bit bizarre to not be inundated with garbage here like the other place… it feels like 2011 internet in a good way

Mostly here to repost but I’m happy to announce there will be the occasional snide remarks
