Thank you to everyone who wrote to me about Lansdowne 2.0. It passed by 15-10 today, which I know is not the outcome you wanted. I pledge to keep holding the city accountable and fighting for the priorities you really care about.

I think we can all agree too many people had pinned all their hopes and dreams on Bill Burr

My City Councillor just posted this on Facebook explaining their reasoning around the recent work-from-home debate and I’m genuinely confused. I read the @jleiper.bsky.social motion and I just don’t see what my councillor is saying here. Would someone who supported the motion be up for clarifying?

I tried to think of a better example but I think he really is Canada’s worst nepo baby.
This is fucking insane and I am astonished at how irresponsible Global News upper management is being with this.

They’re risking the credibility of all their journalists and for…what? Canada’s worst nepo baby?
Ben Mulroney is blurring the lines between journalism, business, lobbying and partisan politics

The new host of Global News’ national political news show also works for registered lobby groups, advises businesses and hosted election events for Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives earlier this year

I am 100% ready to join you to “ban right on red”. Montreal has this, but only because that’s the way it always was. Other cities elected to allow right turns on red, to allow for greater traffic flow. And look who’s paying the price. Day after day, another tragedy. Make this an election issue.
The cyclist got hit at the exact same intersection I was about to bike by, it could have been me. We need to consider banning right on red in all downtown intersections. You shouldn’t be taking your life in your hands every time you walk or cycle. A woman got killed crossing the street a block away.

if we want to rebuild american institutions and earn back the world’s trust after this we cannot settle for half-measures. lots of people need to go prison. lots more need to be permanently stripped of wealth and power.

Today I went to my kid’s middle school heritage fair, which featured a project on the history of drag in Canada, a Lego reproduction of the Oka Crisis, a display about the history of abortion rights, and two children dressed as different versions of Trotsky.

A+, no notes, the kids are alright.

Today is Trans Day of Visibility. As one of Canada's most visible trans activists, my thoughts are simple:

Advocating for your community shouldn't come at such a steep price. But any price is worth paying to build a better world for future generations of trans people.

Just listened to the first pod and this is going to be a fun way to follow the election!
WELCOME TO THE CANADIAN ELECTION CAMPAIGN!

For the duration, I’ve teamed up with @parismarx.com to do a podcast miniseries: Campaign Cops.

As politicians pander, promise and play dirty, we’ll be here to talk about it all.

Here’s a taste of the first episode:

There may still be some U.S. citizens out there who can’t understand what it feels like for Canada to realize that our biggest threat, the worst & most dangerous villain in a world with many villains, is now the former “best friend” beside us. Or more accurately, its increasingly fascist government.

Reporting on the "51st state" stuff should really be much more explicit that what Trump is talking about is starting a war and trying to occupy Canada. Canada is not going to amend its constitution to join the US. That is not a thing. Trump is talking about war.

🚨NEW: It’s Orange Shirt Day today, a day to remember, to support healing journeys, and to affirm that every child matters.

But some losers are still engaging in residential school denial.

I debunked two common lies so you have the tools to shut denial down when you see it:
