Morning commute on a bike lane that Doug Ford wants to rip out. 21 bikes and 4 cars clearing an intersection in 23 seconds. Which mode fights congestion?
Ford celebrated ripping out bike lanes 2 days ago. Meanwhile, Bike Share is recording it's 5 millionth rider today. This is more rides than were seen in all of 2022, the system has doubled its ridership in 4 years.
The replies are Americans complaining. When California was burning, Canada sent help. This is why Canadians have become so annoyed with Americans. Complaining about your air quality while our citizens homes and communities are burning down…
I live in Northwestern Ontario. Right now, the Boreal forest is burning.
I'm writing this beneath the dark orange plume from the Quetico wildfires.
These are some of the reports coming out as communities fight to survive:
"No fire crews left for new fires."
"We had no warning."
Families are self-evacuating by private boat across lakes because they didn't receive evacuation information. They're fleeing towering flames with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
This is unacceptable in a province as wealthy as Ontario.
I'm calling out Doug Ford. His government has underfunded Ontario's wildfire management capacity by tens of millions of dollars.
@fordnation you want our Ring of Fire, our water, our forests. You want to store nuclear waste in our bedrock and run an oil pipeline through our watersheds.
But you won't work with northern communities. You make decisions for us without us, and then fail to provide the basic public services we PAY FOR and rely on: wildfire protection, health care, education, safe highways and social services.
Northern Ontario deserves better than this feckless leadership.

Stewart Bell is the only journalist that has consistently and accurately identified that the Bishnoi Terrorist Network doesn't operate in isolation — it is a proxy for the Govt of India — carrying out a crime wave of murder and extortion across Canada.
The silence surrounding the brutal five-day gang-rape of an innocent 13-year-old girl by 30 men in Ganganagar is absolutely deafening.
There are no protests, no mainstream news broadcasts and no trending topics on X for an act so monstrous.
It raises a disturbing question: is the public and media look the other way purely because this happened under a BJP administration?
Everything is allowed under BJP watch?
Holy shit.
Maradona in 2018 on the day the World Cup 2026 was awarded to USA, Mexico and Canada, goes on saying:
“They will do 4 quarters of the game instead of two halves so to put commercials, you’ll see”
I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.
1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.
2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.
3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.
4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.
5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.
6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.
7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.
The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.
@bymikestephens A lot of eldest daughters take on parental tasks to help care for their younger siblings - esp for families newer to Canada to single mom homes.
Often end up being a third parent to your siblings.
To the rafters.
The #NHLBruins are proud to announce that during the upcoming 2026-27 season, the club will bestow its highest honor upon Patrice Bergeron by retiring his No. 37.
The Carolina Hurricanes are Stanley Cup Champs. 20 years after their first. Game 6 was what they do. Suffocating defense and relentless work ethic. Congrats to Carolina. What a hockey team. Who wins Conn Smythe? Staal hall or Blake. Staal MVP of finals but I think Blake should
