In writing my column on Toronto police corruption, in part looking at past times cops have threatened & intimidated civilians & elected officials I see I missed Susan Eng's passing last year. One of the few brave police board chairs. They spied on her as a result. Dirty.

We spoke with 2SLGBTQ people in western Canada about the barriers they experienced accessing the legal system. Glad to see this work out in the world.

I get "I don't know if I want to go so far east" regularly. "So far east" being Broadview.
Eli Wood has been missing for over 6 weeks now. If anyone is around the Kitchener/Waterloo region on Sunday, some folks are looking for help doing a search. Feel free to share or contact Crime Stoppers with any information.
Welcome to Toronto! Happy to share some recos if it’s helpful!
Let’s gooooo
Burpees... I don't care for 'em
The "drill, baby, drill" slogan belies the relatively small role of *all* mining, quarrying, O&G extraction activities in the Canadian economy.
It's hugely capital intensive (only 1.2% of all jobs) but rip, strip and ship activities contribute just 5.1% to GDP... not even in the top 10 sectors.
NEW: Vehicles registered to Doug Ford's cabinet ministers have been caught by automated speed cameras more than 20 times.
In one case, they were driving 70 in a 40 zone. On average, they were 17 over the limit. #OnPoli

Looking forward to Labour Day this year
“The Liberals are violating our Charter rights to take job action and give Air Canada exactly what they want — hours and hours of unpaid labour from underpaid flight attendants, while the company pulls in sky-high profits and extraordinary executive compensation”
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers ❤️
(but like actually though)
I go weeks without an emergency email, get sick, can’t think through a NyQuil induced haze, and then suddenly everyone needs me IMMEDIATELY.
My kingdom for a clear sinus cavity.
The British media outlet ITV also went on a Jordanian airdrop and simply ignored the Israeli government’s illiberal demands:

Research grants to universities & colleges as well as graduate scholarships face $764 million in cuts to pay for tax cuts and miliary spending. The Tri-council agencies providing those funds just won an increase in the last budget, but that will be completely undercut now. 6/x
I still think this is one of the most gutting notes I’ve ever read.
Centre island instantly becoming the most used bikeshare station. Lol. City council slowly picking that low hanging fruit.
If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.
The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.
So: the “Protect Bathurst / Dufferin” astroturf campaign run by Summerhill Market had videos of a guy talking about the neighborhood & RapidTO proposal. Real grassroots feel. Took a screenshot & put it into google image search. Guess what?
Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first. One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish. Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points. We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are. Anelise Feldman Freshman, Yarmouth High School Yarmouth
this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...
Just ugly hockey
Yes but not too late for second breakfast
Thank you friend! ❤️
Got an email addressed to Dr. Wells and it wasn't spam. That is going to take some getting use to.
Honestly, you tried your best and that’s all anyone can expect.
Can’t remember the last time I had to wait in line at advanced polls 🤔
