First, shut down supervised consumption sites.
Second, fine people up to $10,000 and threaten them with six months in prison for using drugs on the TTC.
Meanwhile, one month in jail costs taxpayers roughly $15,000 per person.
So instead of investing in harm reduction, treatment, housing, and recovery supports… they’d rather spend even more money punishing people after things spiral.
Reactive policy over preventative policy.
Go figure.

Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube? Hulu? Ads followed by more ads. Netflix full of ads. Meta and X, every other thing is an ad. Pinterest is nothing but ads. AI is in everything. AI finishes sentences incorrectly and won’t stop. AI reads your email and search history to target you with more ads. Every time you open an app or visit a site there’s an update making it worse. In a hurry?

Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area.

Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

Watch closely, this isn’t happening by accident.

Doug Ford is following the same playbook we’re seeing elsewhere. Step by step, it mirrors what Danielle Smith is doing in Alberta and what the U.S. system has normalized for years.

This is how it starts:
Underfund public healthcare → create frustration → introduce “alternatives” → normalize private, for-profit care → bring in insurance-driven models.

And let’s be clear the capitalist private insurance companies have been eyeing Canada for decades.

There’s been pressure going back to the Harper era to open that door.
Because once it opens, it doesn’t close.

Universal healthcare isn’t just a system it’s a safeguard. And if people don’t pay attention now, we risk waking up to something very different.
This isn’t fear-mongering. It’s a pattern.
And patterns matter.

Goosebumps! People often ask, is Shakespeare still relevant? Here is a great example, from the Steven Colbert Show, in which Sir Ian McKellen delivers an extraordinary speech. Shakespeare’s words are timeless, urgent and important.

I’d really like to see a journalist just flat out ask Trump “what the fuck is wrong with you” at some point even if it doesn’t move the needle in any concrete way.

@Rogers hey there, if you guys are incapable of providing consistent internet to the residents of Markham perhaps you should sell that portion of your business to someone who can. Currently experiencing at least the 5th outage this week alone.

If you're wondering why there was no coverage of Italy's general strike for Gaza in the US it's because they don't want anyone here to recognize how immediately effective those are.
