This is how you hunt chipmunks when you have no idea where your paws are.

@glw0519 @bruce_arthur What lane, exactly, is that?

Between recent Quebec polling and some recent Ontario polling, something is happening. Like, the best case may be … I dunno, 100 Liberal seats in those two provinces? They have 108 now.

@Don_inFarrhaven Time to move your ass to Bluesky, you too @PanofSCU I don't check out xitter all that often and don't want to miss your content

@PaulDix96131659 @faizimam @nccm @MacLeodLisa You do sound like a bit of a dix

We were disturbed but not shocked by Ontario MPP @MacLeodLisa who raised concerns that it was an “egregious incident” that required “disciplinary measures” for a Remembrance Day service to include a song in Arabic. People are now saying the quiet part aloud: it is entirely preposterous to suggest that speaking a language like Arabic is tantamount to hate. This is the same province where only a few years ago a family was run over in London for looking different. This is also coming from an elected official who remains best known for her argument that the autism parent community are “professional protesters” and was demoted from her ministry as a result. This recent statement is utterly unacceptable. @fordnation

@TSNSteveLloyd That last death surprised me for a bit but I guess it's in character after thinking on it.

So, The Penguin. Brilliant, but maybe the darkest show I’ve ever seen. Wow.

@TheTorontoSun Loser Don, haven't missed him

@syl_sylv7966337 @mikethenavyguy People are not required to respond especially to a name and a bunch of numbers account that pays for a free website

@mikethenavyguy No comments on my other responses? After all, you're the one who called out "racism".

@TheoMoudakis Please join Bluesky

Oh. So then why am I thinking of joining Bluesky?

@Ingemar4910 @GinnyRothTO Your helmet still too tight?

@GinnyRothTO It will be a long road, but worth every mile. It has been allowed to penetrate everything.

Now that people think wokeness is on the wane, DEI is falling out of fashion, and identity politics has suffered a massive electoral failure, it's getting more mainstream to suggest that critical theory and its offspring are not only wrong, but harmful. That can't come soon enough. But as it does, let's not forget those who paved the way with, and even suffered consequences for, their moral clarity. Thinking especially of @jamiljivani.

@OtownSensFan Glad I haven't totally lost it and am glad that you still enjoy the frustrations that are the Sens. Those that package programming deserve a special place in hell

@pvanrens I did, it's been 3 years. It just irks me, you know? I have the "sports package" and can't watch the sport I enjoy, it's annoying.

5 freaking Sportsnet channel + cbc and the Sens game is on freaking city TV (which somehow I don't have in my package). This blows.

@Don_inFarrhaven @EdBrown19 Turning the TV off seems to help

@FoodProfessor @cbcmarketplace @JimboStanford Did they in fact blame grocers?

Spoke to @cbcmarketplace, and they asked how to easily explain why food prices are higher in Canada. My response? "Well, you're CBC, obviously you'll blame grocers since it's the easiest, most convenient approach. It's not accurate, but it seems to work. Call @JimboStanford."

@LucyvanOlden @_MarkSutcliffe Perhaps I don't pay as much attention as I should but it's nice that he did something I consider a positive

@ThatFishCreigh No lies detected

@BringBackLee It is but, he's got lots of years to continue being disappointed

This is actually so depressing 😭

@BlacksWeather I'm starting to think I should've planted my garlic yesterday

While the forest canopy has lost many leaves, the understory layer is more protected from winds & retains leaves longer. Blustery winds today will add to the October chill. It’s -2° now. W/c -6. High 7° w/skies turning cloudy w/a ☔️possible. Wind ⬆️20-40+. Low -4° #ottawa #ONwx

@EVanDyk @mvbenter @robertbenzie @cityoftoronto @OntarioPCParty @StatCan_eng You sound like you might be concerned about the safety of others rather than vehicular flow. But what about the economy...or something

@mvbenter @pvanrens @robertbenzie @cityoftoronto @OntarioPCParty @StatCan_eng There is always less opportunity for mayhem when cars are separated from slower road users. Fewer interactions means fewer potential failures.

In a salvo at ⁦@cityoftoronto⁩, Premier Doug Ford’s ⁦@OntarioPCParty⁩ is hinting at the end of bike lanes on Yonge and Bloor streets and Eglinton and University avenues. (According to ⁦@StatCan_eng⁩, 1.2% commute by bike.) #onpoli thestar.com/politics/provi…

@mvbenter @robertbenzie @cityoftoronto @OntarioPCParty @StatCan_eng You still don't sound at all concerned about safety

@pvanrens @robertbenzie @cityoftoronto @OntarioPCParty @StatCan_eng Some roads can't accommodate bike lanes unless you start expropriating property or eliminating sidewalks which usually ain't gonna happen.

@mvbenter @robertbenzie @cityoftoronto @OntarioPCParty @StatCan_eng It doesn't read like your all for the safety of bicyclists

@robertbenzie @cityoftoronto @OntarioPCParty @StatCan_eng I am all for the safety of bicyclists but many of these bike lanes are forced onto roads that were designed for a couple of lanes of traffic, parking and sidewalks. Ramming in bike lanes makes it more dangerous for everyone including the cyclists.
