Lessons for all us nobody mums.

[Dr. Anna Artyushina 🇨🇦 @socioanna]

Only once in his long reign Robert Moses faced a defeat. In the 1950s, his plans to extend Fifth Avenue south, were thwarted by a group of Greenwich Willage mothers, "nobodies" as he called them. Jane Jacobs was one of these mothers.

@brandiadams4 @FiftyFootNest Yes. It mostly does. Even organic can have it. But there are a few options where I shop.

@integrity_to I spent 3 weeks reporting the beggar at the foot of the escalator at St. Andrew station every afternoon via the TTC reporting app and she now appears to be gone. It can't be used for incidents like this though. On train cameras need to be monitored live for this stuff.

@DavidColetto No NDP resurgence? I expect NDP to do better tomorrow than in 2025 in the UniRose by-election.

@BenWoodfinden @SplendidIsolat2 Strange that the accounting only happens in one direction. https://t.co/2m9firQqgs

@Prominent_Bryan Also current CPP contributors are paying an extra 1.95%x2 on earnings up to the YMPE to fund the CPP deficit. Almost 50% more than we otherwise would be paying (5.95%x2 vs 4%x2).

A retired couple that has a combined income of 190k gets the full OAS but we claw back the Child Benefit almost fully at 150k annual income

So we are more generous with welfare for old people than for families

So backward. And yet no parties ran on fixing this!

I am particularly pleased to learn that the IOC's new policy on the female category is informed by the views of athletes. It is astonishing that for years the female category was compromised without female athletes being asked for their views.

Canada is undisputed world leader in money printing

I posted @scottastevenson's tweet on instagram and someone complained that 2007 was a bad start date because it skews to make Canada look bad, so went back to 1968

@intoit @FoodProfessor It's to make it last longer. Almost impossible to find without.

@TheMonologist Is that Dini Petty interviewing him?

[Toronto District School Board @tdsb]

All TDSB schools, sites and administrative buildings (including Child Care centres) will be closed to students and most staff on Monday, January 26, due to ongoing snow removal and a Major Snow Storm Condition and Significant Weather Event declared by the City of Toronto.

My 12yo just had such a complete meltdown over the idea of going to overnight camp that both my husband and I agreed that she absolutely MUST go and immediately signed her up.

@justicehockey @BarbaraRKay 💯 The same is true for the child advocacy. It's used to promote the desires of adults only.

@ReubenR80027912 I believe they've mostly been religious (The Moonies, etc).

@RochesterAsa @danielfoch Have we achieved it through lowering standards?

[green glass @greenglasseye]

@gohstofcoals @thatgeekycanuck @Tablesalt13 Most other countries have TFSA like accounts and usually with much higher limits.

@Anthony__Koch Is this why my mum came to Canada on vacation in 1970 and was convinced to get a job?
