The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

"Ontario recorded the highest number of wait-list deaths: 10,634, including more than 9,100 diagnostic-scan deaths where patients died before reaching the point of receiving or being scheduled for surgery."

I guess it's not "hallway healthcare" if you never make it to the hospital hallway.
Tens of thousands of Canadians died waiting for medical care in the past year: report
A new report is raising alarm over growing wait-list deaths in Canada.

PSA: People on bikes aren’t swerving to annoy drivers, they’re just trying not to die or destroy their mode of transportation.
This is generally what the bike portion looks like of our “shared” roads. Glorious.

Trump to generals: "Canada called me a couple weeks ago. They want to be a part of it. To which I said, 'Well, why don't you just join our country. Become the 51st state. And you get it for free!' So I don't know if that made a big impact but it does make a lot of sense."

We regularly see Toronto prosecutors toss cases or police fail to submit disclosure where cyclists have been hit by dangerous motorists, resulting in life altering injuries. This is a travesty. An injustice. Fantastic reporting by the Star's @alyshah.bsky.social:

According to the broadcast, #MLB says that there was interference on the Lowe home run, but they could not definitively determine that the ball would not have left the park regardless.

That's pretty weak, I think. #Bluejays

If I was the new Ontario Liberal leader and I won the next election I would definitely turn the Ontario Place spa into a giant co-op bicycle repair shop just to see Doug turn that funny colour of red.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

Impotent statements like these are why Russia feels free to attack us.
This wasn’t an “incursion of drones.” Russia attacked Poland.
We shouldn’t “condemn it.” We should hit Russia with serious, damaging consequences.
We shouldn’t “call on Russia” to stop. We should stop them.
