Gone altogether beyond.

@TurboHaus I find the opposite is true. I haven't set foot in a gym since high school, when I usually did my best to skip out...

The richest man on Earth dismantled the organization that feeds the poorest children on earth.

He also cancelled all of the global Ebola prevention programs. The UN has now declared Ebola outbreak a global health emergency.

Elon Musk’s dismantling of USAID has already killed more children than in Gaza and Ukraine combined.

He cut lifetimes for millions and the result is a silent massacres.

Nor should we forget his complicity in the genocide in Gaza, as well as in the war in Ukraine and the Epstein case.

I don’t understand how billionaires think. If I only had one billion dollars, I would rush to fix our world problem. Homeless, hungry, poverty, wars, climate change... etc. They can be heroes and not just billionaires. What a waste.

In case anyone wondered what Montreal looks and sounds like when the Habs head to a conference final

What the fuck...

"...Carney is quietly bringing-in sweeping reforms to the pesticides law, making it more difficult for the government to ensure that the air you breathe, the water you drink and the food you eat is safe from dangerous toxins."

Deeply integrating our economy with the United States is what made Canada so vulnerable to Trump’s bullying in the first place.

This isn’t what Canadians voted for.

@Montreal The Aldred Building. Its proportions are perfect.

@redroomrantings I don't buy "liberation" because of the false parallel with colonized societies in Africa, Asia and elsewhere. The French were just as much colonizers as the English were.

[Montreal City Weblog @MTLCity]

@trainofangels00 No, never have. My dad did, but my mother didn't and neither do I.

[Montreal City Weblog @MTLCity]

@TurboHaus I've heard so many people make this claim. Québécois, American friends – François Legault even did, once.

@CTVMontreal An environment minister from the Montreal Economic Institute? What's next, an arsonist for housing minister?

[Sergio Da Silva @TurboHaus]

I was told at the borough council meeting yesterday that there too many rules to act on abandoned buildings, but enough flexibility to regulate Airbnb? You can’t be powerless on vacancy and powerful on short-term rentals. As the mayor, you make the fucking rules.

[Sergio Da Silva @TurboHaus]

How about we pledge to get roads ready for the bikes of the people who live here instead of tearing them out?

@NoLore Except when they're aloes. Mine keep spawning and I have to give some away.

[Montreal City Weblog @MTLCity]

@NoLore Thank you! And thanks for doing this. I think most of us are just relieved we have a PM who's not a nutbar, so we're not looking too closely at the decisions his government is making.

[Montreal City Weblog @MTLCity]

@TurboHaus I agree. All you do is sign up, they send you a card, you register it with your dentist.

You should know that you have to re-register every year, apparently a month or two after you submit your income taxes.

[Montreal City Weblog @MTLCity]

@NoLore You didn't say it, but it's one of the obvious options. I suppose there could be a kind of free taxi service for seniors, but it would be a hard sell.

[Cult MTL @cultmtl]

The vast majority of Quebecers (84%) have a negative opinion of Elon Musk. Musk is literally as unpopular here as Donald Trump.

Even on the rare chance that Quebecers actually agree with his opinion, we absolutely don’t give a fuck about anything he has to say. ⚜️
