Within this remarkable building one feels no emotions and could never fall in love, or need to.

@izakaminska The bit about dealing with customer service people who can’t actually fix anything is expounded on in @dsquareddigest ‘s book “The Unaccountability Machine.” Well worth a read if you haven’t yet checked it out.

@MarkBourrie A fantastic book, I really enjoyed it.

@__el__toro__ Add some explosive bolts for rapid emergency disconnection and then you’ve really got something.

@EricDLombardi London is not spending enough on supports for unhoused and vulnerable people. A quick comparison shows that Toronto spends ~ 2.5 to 3x more per resident than London on these services. Maybe London should try spending more if it wants to see results?

@TurnerNovak Famously still a thing in Montréal Québec, where everybody’s leases start July 1.

@ok_but_still “The Store of the Worlds” by Robert Sheckley. Beautiful and sad. And “No Time is Passing” by Robert Aickman.

I dunno what’s more lethal, the drone or that carpet pattern…

The foundation of all freedom is discipline. The universe itself demonstrates a discipline and nature
demonstrates discipline everywhere you look. Nature variates things and it has this precision and discipline in doing this..

@kbardeesy @BhutilaKarpoche @NDP I'm not voting for any candidate or party who cannot unequivocally stand up against an on-going genocide, ethnic cleansing and occupation. Israel isn't even trying to hide their intentions anymore.

10/ The only means of fighting against this new evil is caring. We must love one another or die. We must stand in solidarity. We must uphold life. We must see the mass pursuit of death as a threat to our lives. We must reject indifference.

Nice to see some pushback on the totally insane numbers going around about CA internal trade barriers. I thought it was odd the projected impacts were so big (4% of GDP!) and yet the examples started off at booze and quickly ran down to… first aid kits carried in trucks. 🤷

New from @ccpa: Politicians have been framing interprovincial trade barriers as an end-all-be-all for dealing with the Trump tariffs. There's just one issue—the numbers that they're citing are wildly inflated. By @MarcLeeYVR #cdnecon #CanadaUSTradeWar

Trump wants:

1.) To end the U.S. trade deficit with Canada, which is entirely the result of importing oil from Canada.

2.) To construct a pipeline to import more oil from Canada.

Homelessness is out of control in Ontario. And a lot of that is because of a lack of investment in the solution to homelessness: affordable housing. But just what has Ontario been doing to address the homelessness crisis?

A recent report from Maytree Canada showed that the Ontario government is spending less on affordable housing than in 2013, and spending more on managing homelessness — but still not enough.

Homelessness has increased by 49% in Ontario since 2017. But the provincial government hasn't paid their fair share to address homelessness. Because Ontario isn't spending what it should, municipalities have had to increase their spending on homelessness — which comes from your property taxes.

When @fordnation announced $75.5 million to "end encampments" in December, only $44.5 million of this was new funding. This is a mere 1% increase in homelessness funding for the fiscal year.

We deserve a government who will do what it takes to end homelessness and respect homeless people's human rights:
