Ford's subway gravy train—
Cost to build subways per km:
Berlin: $400 million
Milan: $200 million
Barcelona: $220 million
Ford's Ontario Line?
$1.42 billion per km
Costs are up 400% under Ford.
Ford has refused Ontario NDP calls for an inquiry of Metrolinx, the agency responsible for building transit.

Why do hospitals and school boards have to balance their books, but Doug Ford's government doesn't?
After 8 long years, Ontario's debt is nearing half a trillion dollars. Yet this government is telling hospitals already dealing with overcrowding, staffing shortages, and burnout to find more "creative" savings.
You don't balance a budget by making it harder to see a doctor or by asking exhausted frontline workers to do more with less. You do it by making smart investments that strengthen our hospitals, our communities, and the services families rely on. #onpoli
What's the point of praising Chinese propaganda when worker protection and worker's rights in China are way worse than the US, and the US isn't even that great to begin with?
A recurring theme in Xi-Era dramas: Scientists and Intellectuals get humbled learning that their work is only made possible because of workers and soldiers. In this scene, the scientists learn who is helping them escort China's nuclear bomb to its final test site.
I'm in the Star today with a piece on the Carney government's handling of relations with the United States. Last year, Canadians gave Mark Carney a mandate to disentangle our country from the empire to the south. He's done the exact opposite.
Link in next tweet.
So I was intrigued and tuned in to this lady’s pod where she talked about going viral outside the Great Firewall…(paraphrased)
« The only ppl who complained about my accent and picked on my grammatical mistakes were other Chinese ppl while native speakers focused on the content. Don’t let hater get you down. Criticism is often often projected insecurity. »
« it’s a good interview, but it went viral because it gave Americans an opportunity to step on their own country and collectively reflect. »
« Going viral on twitter made me realize a lot of American right wingers really disliked Nolan. This is invisible to Chinese audiences. They think of this movie as conservative. But the American right thinks he’s the woke left. I was shocked. »
« The interview has value because it had two specific individuals: a specific interviewer whose questions brought out the specificity in Nolan more clearly. But once it went viral the specificity of both individuals faded. We were no longer two people, but flattened into two symbols. There’s nothing the Internet is better at than taking actual people and stuffing them back into a worldview you already made earlier.”
Donated, good luck with fundraising and hiring staff (btw unpaid interns are plenty in universities, consider offering them an opportunity for school credit)

PM Carney is once again supporting U.S. violence and impunity.
Canada can’t control Trump’s chaos. But we can take a clear stand for lives, livelihoods, international law and global stability.
New Democrats say: stop the war.
@ryangrim People don't understand that this omission hurts the victim because this would eventually come out, since she already told multiple outlets. When it does, people would accuse her of lying, instead of Politico and CNN for being intentionally misleading.
how about instead of sending me half of one weekly grocery bill we expropriate loblaws and run it as a non-profit. i mean they did fix the price of bread for several years, it's only fair.
fuck mark carney btw. but from the left.
@imody_777 At least this is done way better than shield hero, where the slave fall in love with their master. This depiction also makes more sense given the historical context.
@SilentSnow89 It's not like their "real Canadian" team won any game at the world cup, so I don't get why they are complaining, typical loser mentality.
