[The New World: New ideas. New magazine @TheNewWorldmag]

Donald Trump is @TIME magazine’s Person of the Year. Here’s ours. Who got it right?

[Karly Kingsley @karlykingsley]

Every Trump supporter who is insisting that they’ll leave the United States if Trump isn’t re-elected should have to answer why they feel another country should accept an immigrant who fled for political purposes.

[Adémọ́lá. @OgbeniDemola]

Those who colonized the whole world are trying to convince us that resistance to colonialism is terrorism.

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

Humans continue to argue and fight and kill each other while the planet heats up, storms and heat and famines get steadily worse. What a cosmic failure of leadership at all levels and for decades. At least declare a climate emergency.

"To stand with Palestine is to be human”

Launch of public consultations on Canada’s approach to partnerships in Africa https://t.co/cvlTxKQ6Ox

[Birgit Umaigba-Omoruyi @birgitomo]

Who else thinks that over 2.3 million Ontarians would prefer to have a family doctor than increased access to alcohol? ✋🏿

[Global Affairs Canada @GAC_Corporate]

Inspiring words from Dr. Jane Goodall at GAC yesterday! “Every single one of us makes an impact on the planet every single day and we get to choose what sort of impact we make.”

[Ahmed Hussen @HonAhmedHussen]

In the face of the many challenges brought on by the climate crisis, sometimes it seems like our efforts are only a drop in the ocean. But as @JaneGoodallInst herself has said, the ocean is actually made out of many drops! Thanks for stopping by Jane and sharing your wisdom!

[jump (for my love) @JodiesJumpsuit]

I want to be clear: moving Roll Up The Rim To Win to an app was a betrayal. The intimacy and community of fishing a scrap of paper cup with bite marks on it from your cup holder and getting a free coffee in return was a sacrosanct. This is an insult to our nation’s traditions

[Peter Ratcliffe, forever Canadian 🇨🇦 @PeterHRatcliffe]

There should be no GST or HST on used vehicles, because they have already been taxed once at full value when first purchased.

[Habkat @Habibakatsha]

This is one of the best explanations I’ve seen online about the ongoing conflict in Congo, please have a watch.

[Climate Dad @ClimateDad77]

As the Halloween bullshit plaguing our shops & homes makes way for exponentially more Christmas bullshit, ask “Why the fuck are we doing this?”

If our answer is “For the kids!” remember that this grotesque overconsumption is exactly the thing robbing them of a liveable future.

[Occasional Transport (On BSky) @OccTranspo]

Hey @OC_TranspoHelps we really got to do something about the bus no-shows and rampant cancelations. People are losing jobs from being late, or having to take on financial burdens to avoid being fired. Which means buying a car or taking Ubers.

Your inability is killing this city.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

I wasn’t born rich and became the youngest woman in American history to be elected to Congress.

Then I investigated Cohen, authored the largest FEMA funeral assistance program in history and led creation of a US Climate Corps to create tens of thousands of new jobs.

Stay mad 💁🏽‍♀️

[Sarah Wright-Gilbert (she/her) @sarahmwgilbert]

I have an event this weekend at the Nepean Sportsplex, so I decided to see how long it would take me to get there on OCTranspo.

2 HOURS (bus, train, bus) vs. 25 MINUTES by car.

If @ottawacity wants to encourage ridership, maybe make it more convenient to take public transit.

[YIMBYLAND @YIMBYLAND]

Cities are for people, not cars.

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Greed.

[Artur Wilczynski @Arturmaks]

This is a great pic of a dad going to a movie with his son. The negative reaction to this is messed up. That two guys wearing pink & like Barbie threatens a cohort of right wingers is ridiculous.

If your masculinity is threatened by men wearing pink, you need to get a life.
