I was chatting with my friend in Florida, they pay $25 a month for their unlimited cellphone plan. WHAT I’m paying over $100 a month with @TELUSsupport in Canada 🤯 Canadians are getting screwed big time

@adamtranter What happens when the get to an intersection?

Bicycles are hugely space efficient, which is why they make a lot of sense in congested cities. This video demonstrates why there aren’t traffic jams in bike lanes.

The judge should have realized that the new streetcars will provide more places for the homeless to sleep. (As seen in Toronto).

@JonFraserTF @anotherglassbox I want our team to succeed, but the support in Canada is embarrassing.

@JonFraserTF @anotherglassbox The biggest sporting event is happening in Toronto in. 4 weeks Zero hype. Advertising - zero Politician hype - zero Media hype - 0 Canada soccer hype -0 So disappointing

@KirkLubimov Things that you won’t see on the CBC or subsidized media.

☄️Canada Pension Plan underperforms a comparable mix index return...BY A LOT! The CPP's fiscal year to March 31st return was 7.8% while the benchmark index of mixed global equities and bonds returned $13.2%. That's billions in negative alpha.

No one is in charge of anything in this country. No one. It's just astonishing.

Unfortunately, too many Canadians are operating under the assumption that our government is actually managing important things. In actuality, we're being governed by the cool kids in university who just happened to choose politics as a career path instead of real estate.

@RlLowerider @brianlilley 😃 a little bit before my time. But I saw many repeats. A classic.

@AverageCDNguy @brianlilley Lol that shows your age! I loved Hogan's Heroes!

14 Liberal MPs write a letter critical of Carney. CBC gets it and writes this. "Despite signing their names at the bottom of the letter, the MPs do not want to be publicly identified," CBC writes. No names released. This would not happen to Poilievre. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Stigmatizing drug use is good — let’s do more of it. A lot more.

@toog416 @BenMulroney I’m a Toronto conservative against the expansion of the city centre airport There is easy access to Pearson within 20-30 minutes from downtown. Ask anyone who lives around Pearson if it is pleasant living next to a large airport? Why would we do that to our waterfront?

The idea that the future of the island airport should be decided exclusively by downtown progressives is a perfect example of why absolutely nobody takes downtown progressives seriously. I am not a “their tears are delicious” sort, but they so tempt me with this nonsense.

@MOSSADil 😂😂😂

@McLeanChronicle @cbcwatcher We have crime like this because there is a lack of deterrent. Punishments are minimal. Similarly we allow organized crime to become involved in the tow truck business in Toronto. It’s been going on forever and I don’t understand why we can’t stop it.

Transport Canada, has organized crime in the airports, now screwing over US truck manufacturers by apparently slow walking regulations so they can't sell, sort of like they did to Gulfstream jets to benefit of Bombardier, harmonizing reg with the US is your job, Carney govt incompetent or malicious?

@AdamZivo @terrynewman @RobynUrback Police should be our trusted partners in enforcing our laws. Any corruption above zero is unacceptable, especially when they acted together, not as individuals. We wouldn’t shrug off a tiny percentage of drunk pilots. Certain jobs demand a higher bar of trust.

I usually agree with @RobynUrback's analysis, but I don't think the numbers back up her argument here. Toronto Police Service employs around 5,000 officers, so 12 arrests represent 0.24%~ of that population. Of course, this is for only the first five months of 2026, so, if trends hold, we can *very roughly* extrapolate to 30~ arrests for the year – or 0.6%~ of the officer population. In contrast, around 1.6-1.7% of all Canadians are arrested per year. Ergo, police officers seem to be arrested at less than half the rate of the general population. If we assume arrests are a proxy for criminality (a contentious assumption, but my analysis here is very back-of-the-napkin), then it doesn't seem that police crime is a particularly huge issue. Of course, one could still argue that the officer crime/arrest rate should be much lower given the special role police play in society (that's totally valid), but I still think this piece overstates the scale of the problem.
