There is no dustbin of history. For better and for worse, archives can always be reactivated in new combinations

If you’re an engineer in the US with Iranian colleagues, they probably graduated from here. It’s MIT caliber. What the fuck are we doing.

Yeah that’s cool

They were promised two-way, all-day GO train service. Confidential Metrolinx documents show these lines may actually get slower Internal Metrolinx report show the provincial transit agency is considering a delayed timeline for its promise of two-way, all-day, 15-minute service on the core GO network.

This is an epic Ford failure and he should lose the GTA over it., Over to you, Ontario voter.

GET HER, VARIETY 😍

This is just a tactic to desensitize people in Toronto to police openly carrying weapons. There is already so much police brutality and violence without this in public spaces and public life.

Think of this when you think of Carney and Canada

'The border doesn't exist to us': How one Mohawk community balances fears of ICE with its inherent rights | CBC News For Mohawks in Akwesasne, crossing international borders is a way of life. But now, many are worried about what the possibility ICE agents might be coming to the region could mean for their inherent r...

Borders are colonial constructs and the Jay Treaty gives free passage across that line dividing a once undivided land that has belonged to Indigenous peoples since time immemorial.

The residential school denialism movement is fracturing because (unsurprisingly) it has a Nazi problem - and you just love/hate to see it.

Another example of AI & Racism harming the Black community.

Incalculable, immeasurable loss. You will be missed so dearly, Fobazi.

I am devastated to hear this. My deepest condolences to Fobazi’s family and kin.

My colleague Mikayla and I have an article in this issue that defends imperfect solutions as an ethical framework toward justice work! If you're intrigued, you can read more here!

She was thrown under a streetcar when a car driver knocked her off her bike. Her case was withdrawn — one of thousands tossed each year by a ‘system in shambles’ The mass withdrawal of road safety-related charges has become routine, the result of an overwhelmed court system that is leaving millions in fines on the table and letting dangerous drivers off the ho...

We have a major issue on our hands at the Toronto Prosecutor's office. They claim a lack of resources are why huge numbers of charges are withdrawn against dangerous drivers, but that excuse is meaningless in the face of blatant anti-cyclist attitudes. www.thestar.com/news/gta/she...

Statistics Canada to cut 850 jobs in 'dark time' for public service, union says Federal statistics agency entered its workforce adjustment period Monday, sending notices to thousands of employees.

Quite frankly, it’s outrageous that Mark Carney is cutting Statistics Canada. If he was Stephen Harper or Pierre Poilievre, I feel like this would be getting a lot more backlash.

Carney of all people should know the importance of high-quality data and information about the country.

We think of the postwar world order as having been built by the US. But as Getachew makes clear, that world order was completed by the intellectual giants of the African, pan-African and African diaspora liberation movements.

It is no coincidence Trump & Miller are targeting its fundamental tenet.

UK Ministry of Defense announcement on Twitter about a $1.5B "partnership" with Palantir.

Toronto Star article about the federal government doing a deal with Cohere AI.

Article about Cohere: Cohere is quietly working with Palantir to deploy its AI models

Draw your own conclusions, but the president of Palantir Canada sits on Carney's council for Canada/US relations.

And the feds also did a deal with Palantir, via a homegrown proxy.

New documents reinforce that Science Centre closure was not supported by engineers The Ontario Science Centre was shuttered on June 21, 2024, with the Ontario government claiming that a structural roof issue made it unsafe. New documents suggest that the engineers inspecting the roo...

Elsa Lam continues to prove & document how corrupt & full of lies the Doug Ford closure of the science centre was & is. Read & share widely - not that it matters in Ontario, a province that seems ok w a high level of this.

It’s 2 o’clock, do you know where your emotional support spreadsheet is?

Older, white-faced pug sitting on a green jacket, looking at the camera. The jacket and the pug are on a wooden floor. The text above them reads “Father, toil ye not under the yolk of capitalism today for it is yule’s eve but tomorrow”.

Why is pairing my sweet, old, crusty pug with early modern English so funny to me?

When a company names itself after a mythical foreboding object — take it as a warning Peter Thiel's Palantir borrowed its name from The Lord of the Rings, and two decades later, it's living up to the metaphor by quietly embedding itself in the machinery of government.

"Canada is one of Palantir's top funders."

"Public Sector Pension Investment Board and the Canadian Pension Plan are major shareholders."

"[I]ncentive for governments to look the other way. Jeopardize oversight? That might hurt pension returns."
