As a result, I've decided to stop using the platform, and wanted to let my followers know, with thanks to them for enlightening conversations over the years. My profile will remain for now, unused - but I'll be having my conversations in person from now on, certainly not here. DM

Sadly, that conversation has often become toxic, a trend the new ownership seems intent on completing.

Shortly after I joined twitter in 2008, another user took me to task for just making announcements on the platform - "its about a conversation" she instructed. And she was right.

“It’s time the Conservative government realize people should not be working full-time jobs and having to go to a food bank. Nobody should be worrying whether or not they can keep the roof over their heads.” ~ @MaritStiles, Leader of the @OntarioNDP barrietoday.com/local-news/ont…

Am I missing something here? Alberta leads Canada in renewables growth. The idea of pausing renewables development to "cover cleanup" while the province is littered in orphaned oil and gas wells absolutely boggles the mind. theglobeandmail.com/business/indus…

This is what the NAIRU looks like: hundreds of people, desperate for work despite a labour market the Bank of Canada claims is 'overheated', lining up for a shitty job at McDonalds. blogto.com/city/2023/08/h… Employers WANT more of this desperation: /2 #canlab #cdnecon

Alberta energy workers and innovators were set to take a leading role in the huge opportunities in clean energy. Danielle Smith has shut the door on billions of dollars in investment and screwed over workers. This is radical stupidity on an unprecedented scale.

I am very uncomfortable with the owner of this site repeatedly using his feed to promote the “white genocide” racial conspiracy theory — the same theory that was central to the Christchurch mass murderer’s manifesto — and to demonize outlets that point out fictions behind it

This is a legit leader. A year ago he grilled the grocery CEOs re: their profits. This week, walks the walk & visits the picket line. We need more politicians to be practical & judge issues case-by-case, & not be crafted ideologues from central casting.
Nate Erskine-Smith@NateForOntario

In solidarity with workers in our community who are striking for better pay and hours, and an end to the exploitation of part-time work. Metro is raking in record profits. It should do right by its workers.

Anecdotal evidence only: I’ve been watching far more Leagues Cup as a neutral than I do of MLS regular season. That may say more about me than it does of the competition. Either way, I don’t think it’s the abject failure that many people were hoping.

@bbqguy1962 @iamdavidmiller Apple deal has not been helpful, AND there's a ton more soccer to watch on our devices/TVs than there was when Toronto FC began in 2007, & those first several lean years. Not having afternoon games has very much hurt, but I don't think (in this case) TFC management has options.

Routes en mauvais ou en très mauvais état à Montréal : 👉 2015 : 54 % 👉 2020 : 24 % 📉 Le nombre de nids-de-poule et de plaintes à ce sujet est en diminution partout à Montréal. Avec un climat rigoureux et des véhicules plus nombreux et plus lourds, maintenir le bon état des routes est un défi de tous les instants. C’est pourquoi notre administration va dédier des sommes historiques de 880 M$ dans les 10 prochaines années pour améliorer la chaussée. Pour notre sécurité et notre mobilité, c’est une priorité. #polmtl

Yup. Apathy. Losing players like Richie lessens your bond with the club as a supporter; overselling superstars who flame out breeds cynicism. We are a long way from 2017. Or even 2015’s “an air of expectation”
Greg Brady@gregbradyx

Toronto FC - we’ve seen more anger from the committed base in years prior - problem is anger is good - it shows passion, registers emotion. A worse problem? Apathy. Easy to sense & feel totally indifferent re: current squad/management. The empty seats at kickoffs speak volumes.
