This should be a rule in every single public space, just galaxy levels of entitlement to be playing your music / TikTok / FaceTime out loud

Former Reuters bureau chief who lost his job and is now struggling to survive as a taxi driver: "In my previous jobs, I interviewed prime ministers and CEOs (...) We are all improvising, all one broken transmission or missed paycheck away from something even worse (...) in the United States, more than 10,000 journalists lost their jobs between 2022 and 2024 (...) Google, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok have gobbled up the advertising dollars, and campy 30-second videos by influencers now deliver what passes for news on social media (...) my family (...) flew to Italy, where they could live rent-free in a family member’s home (...) After I said goodbye to them, I wept uncontrollably in the airport parking lot, not knowing when I would see them again (...) I trust an app to buy me another day"

FOLKS...

“A city’s creativity doesn’t depend on cars. That’s the 20th century. We’re in the 21st.”— Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo. No matter what happens in the Paris election, the world’s cities owe Mayor Hidalgo a huge debt of gratitude. The boldest, most inspiring mayor I’ve seen. ft.com/content/8fbad7…

The Iranian people are “under attack from their own regime. They’re under attack from the U.S. and Israel. So as such, it’s really the Iranians, their livelihoods, their lives, their cultural heritage, all of that that is being destroyed.” theglobeandmail.com/world/article-… @janicedickson

I’m sorry, ignoring the politics, a guy that dresses like this can’t be the Pm of this country. Come on man

Canvassing with Doly Begum showed me what grounded, community-driven leadership looks like and why we need more of it in the House of Commons. Grateful to have spent the day knocking on doors (including a special stop at my parents’ home!) I hope you join me in supporting Doly Begum as your local MP candidate for Scarborough-Southwest.

Some people clearly don’t understand how spending works! 👋 Avi No - government is not cutting, as the story Avi refers to, Canada Post NINETY EIGHT PERCENT. And it’s absurd to think that becuase people don’t get Parliamentary process (fair!) A thread 🧵 1/n #cdnpoli

Ontario will not have a policy in place to publicly fund all medically necessary services from nurse practitioners by April 1, as ordered by the federal government, leaving some patients paying out of pocket for primary care. #onpoli globalnews.ca/news/11739684/…

Kathleen Wynne did this a decade ago. The Ford Government paused it. You've been paying more for your tickets since 2018 because of Doug Ford.

🧵: During last year's snap election, as he fought a campaign under the banner of protecting Ontario from US tariffs, Doug Ford visited Washington, D.C. in his role as premier. Here's a look at how much it cost the public, mid-campaign. Uncovered through FOI. #Onpoli

nobody is doing that, robyn

Dalton McGuinty government spends $1B trying to modernize healthcare record keeping: Scandal of the highest order. Doug Ford government spends $1.4B setting PPE on fire: no one cares.

Sigh. And unless they choose the bathroom at a 7-11 people will lose their shit. I hope they pick a proper site that is both security and status appropriate and make something purpose-built for all future PMs. Enough with the parochial horseshit.

Horrible news and I’m really upset. But silver lining is I did get to say I told you so to the friend who told me I was overreacting when they stopped 15 minute service last fall because I didn’t believe it was only temporary.

This is the admission. Premier Doug Ford - who was compelled by an Ontario court to turn over his cell phone records says "personal cellphones" should be exempt from public disclosure. globalnews.ca/news/11733205/…
