Mayor Chow, Councillor Bravo, and Chief Planner Thorne came by to give Finch their business license. Surreal, delightful, lovely.

When the police call for police to be taken off mental health calls - as police chiefs have done in Toronto, Victoria and elsewhere - we should listen, ask who responds instead, and where the money comes from to pay for that service. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Once again I will point out that most deaths in early concentration camps occur from illness and poor conditions. But these deaths are not accidents; this is one of the intended outcomes of a concentration camp.
Also the bizarre claim about protecting his family from the dirty politics coming. Tory is the guy behind the ad that made fun of Chretien’s facial paralysis! Tory is the OG dirty backroom politics.

Holy shit
Sorry, but why are Ontario residents paying Steve Paikin 370,000/year to write what have now been multiple articles waxing poetic about his BFF who also happens to be a disgraced politician.
Every bsky staff member keeps talking about how the goal is Nice Social Media but then the second they're even remotely pushed back against for something shitty, and they immediately crash out for multiple days crying about their subhuman userbase.

warning: the clocks change in the US this weekend. you care about that if you're in the EU or UK because we *don't* spring forward yet, so all your calls and meetings with US folks will be off by one for a couple of weeks
