"I didn't see him" isn't a defense, it's an admission to careless driving

Long COVID in children doubles risk of poor grades Findings indicate long-COVID leads to academic and social difficulties in children, highlighting the importance of addressing their unique educational needs.

All that school absenteeism that education bureaucrats & the #Media have been fretting about lately, without mentioning an #OngoingPandemic of an injurious #AirborneVirus?

Solution: #CleanTheAir & #PreventLongCOVID

It's not rocket science 🚀

Just the goalies left

benches, buses, and bathrooms. they should be everywhere

He always looks like someone on the receiving end of Naruto's 10,000 Years of Death

If this actually happens, I'm sure education and job reskilling will do the trick to avoid pitchforks... /s

These people need to be pushing for universal basic income and healthcare, 4-day weeks, and taxing them more.

I read it with the same tone one would say "*that* asshole"

Making a list of things in this world that I want to teach my daughter how to protect herself from as she gets older.

✅ People in cars.
✅ People with guns.
✅ Toxic males.

I think humanity has the ability to better control all three of these, but we're actively choosing not to at the moment.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Dudes. As a society we taught young women to walk with keys between their fingers in dark parking lots and to carry pepper spray in their purse.

So yes. I’m asking you to be responsible for the actions of other men. After all, that’s what you’ve asked of women for centuries.

It’s your turn.

I’m glad our collective outrage has shamed Doug Ford into selling his plane.

Can we shame him into properly funding public healthcare and public education (and ensuring excellent IAQ in both) next?

Call him and tell him so: 416-325-1941

people get hella mad when you say adult drivers should be more responsible than children on our streets.

This is just to say
I have let in
the duck
that was on the doorstep

and which

Forgive me
he was persuasive
so scary
and so loud.

Unpopular (to CEOs opinion): No CEO bonuses without worker bonuses of a similar tier.

A person trying an Urban Arrow cargo bike with many other people and cargo bikes in the background

I have more to say about our cargo bike test ride event but one thing for sure is that a bike/e-bike/cargo bike subsidy program here would be VERY popular

Immigrants are dying in ICE custody every week.

Just because mass deportation agents stopped executing Americans in the streets doesn’t mean the brutality is over.

Yet not a single man who raped these kids has seen a prison cell. And our government continues to protect them.

Mine is not electric, but it's held up really well over the last 4-5 years (what is time?) I've used it as my winter bike the last 3 or 4 years with no issues. I've been able to haul 4-6 large bags of mulch with it a few times

This needs to be taken seriously. Along with underfunding, Doug Ford is destroying the university system. And yes, this latest move is 100% in line with what we've seen happening by state-level MAGA-hats in the US.

Took my cargo bike (a Yuba Kombi) to the shop for a tune-up. It's my winter bike, so it was definitely due for some love.
Then a nice 45 minute walk home. Beautiful day

All the peace talks failed, except for that nuclear treaty

Bringing new meaning to 'pontificate'

if a second home surtax is DEFCON 1 they haven’t left any room to raise the temperature for, e.g., a wealth tax, and we should implement one

what they actually want is total impunity and that’s not a serious position

The second way to beat the profiteers is to tax excess profits.

We did it in 1940 and again in 2022. When the private sector is exploiting a crisis to make unreasonable profits, we should tax it and spend that money to help Canadians weather the crisis.

But cutting the gas tax doesn't solve the actual problem. It might even make it worse by propping up oil demand.

The real long-term affordability solution is to reduce oil dependence. Public transit, remote work, electric vehicles, heat pumps, etc.

That's the first way you beat the oil profiteers.

Back in February, the industry was "only" banking $500 million per week. Did the industry suddenly get 3x more productive? No, the war in Iran pushed up oil prices by 50% and Big Oil is profiteering.

We just want to be able to eat, live life just comfortably, feed n care for our families n friends, and sink you greedy bitches. Fk the ballroom, fk the arch, fk trump, n the fat old white greedy oligarchs who support this madman. That’s what we want. #riseup

With all due respect to PP*, if Mark Carney's PHD in Economics, his experience leading the Bank of Canada through a recession and the Bank of England through Brexit don't make him an expert worth listening to, why the hell should we listen to PP?
*how much respect is PP due? Zero.
