Do you really need to rub elbows with Nazis to know thy enemy? Do people not see that these are fascist grifters who created an authoritarian hellhole and are now selling how-to advice to the opposition?
Nothing about this is defensible.

“The only way to remediate the soil is to take the trees down,” said developer Jay Patry.
Among the trees is a more than 200-year-old oak significant to local Indigenous and environmental groups.
But that's not the only concern they raise.

I think @pattyhajdu.bsky.social fucked up. Big time. Read the room, @mark-carney.bsky.social cause I don’t think people will be happy that you ordered mostly women back to do unpaid work. You’d better have some dynamic speaking points before the milk turns sour

Just in case you weren’t sure how awful Doug ford is. The courts ruled against him based on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms because PEOPLE WILL DIE IF HE REMOVES SAFE BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE. So he’s considering ABUSING the Notwithstanding Clause just for ego and some cheap suburban votes.
