Shawn Micallef: How Toronto killed ‘Sesame Street’ with its heritage rules — and how we can bring it back
In the face of opposition from even small groups, the city ends up watering down even the best ideas.

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

This is a campaign of eradication.

"A screenshot of an NBC News article headline. The headline reads: 'Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail.' Below the headline, a subtext states: 'The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.' The NBC News logo is visible at the top, along with a navigation bar that includes a 'WATCH' button and a user profile icon."

If a woman had 13 kids by four different men, used ketamine and spent all her time running a shadow presidency, I’m not sure our society would celebrate her.

This is the ultimate result of a hate campaign against the trans community. Depraved violence and murder against our community.

archive.ph/G4U6J
A news headline in white text on a black background reads: "Trans Man Killed in New York Was Tortured for Two Months, Police Say." Below the headline, the article snippet states: "The body of Sam Nordquist, 24, was found in a field after he had been reported missing. The district attorney in Ontario County, N.Y., called the circumstances surrounding the death ‘beyond depraved.’"

When people see the maple leaf, they see possibility. They see freedom. They see a helping hand.

They see Canada, and the best of our values.

Happy 60th to our flag. 🇨🇦

NIH has cut billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately
The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

The relationship b/w Silicon Valley & Donald Trump has seemingly galvanized Canada’s tech leaders. Some have adopted the language of their American counterparts, with calls for Canada’s own DOGE, and attacks on “wokeness."

A deep, sobering read v/@thelogic.co

Canada’s tech leaders are cozying up with Pierre Poilievre in hopes he’ll deliver the innovation agenda the Liberals promised.
