Why do all these rich morons talk about taxes like they’re the only ones who pay taxes??? A majority understand your $100 mil contract isnt you banking $100 mil, $50 mil is still 500x more than someone making $100k a year you pussies 💀
Scott St. @abctoronto_ your talking about Scott St right? The VITAL north/south connective tissue from The Esplanade to Colborne St by Berczy Park??
It’s 284m long and the construction wrapped up weeks ago before FIFA started.
The video I took was from this morning.
Do better
As Sylvia Jones closed public operating rooms, Jones allocated “unprecedented” public heathcare dollars to private surgical clinics. In 2023 Ontarians paid 3× more $4,037 for knee arthroscopy surgery at Don Mills for-profit vs $1,273 in a public hospital.
Allegedly, Ford's regime a "lawless special economic zone" with Lecce's "environment slaughterfest bill 5" where provincial, municipal & FOI laws don't apply as Global News found over 3 years, Ford’s cabinet minister vehicles received over $3,300 in fines from speed cameras.
Ontario is short at least 5000 hospital beds. Most of our hospitals are in deficit and borrowing money from commercial banks. Ontario's Conservative government has underfunded hospitals and healthcare - and it shows.
ICE has revised its rules to say that detainees who work in custody aren't even required to get $1 per day, after a request from private prison giant Geo Group.
Geo Group also asked ICE to remove lines saying contractors needed to follow state and local laws around the treatment of detainees, asked ICE amend language to support its legal position in these cases, and asked that the standards specify that detainees are not employees of the facilities where they work.
In addition to removing the dollar per day minimum, ICE's new national standards complied with several of Geo Group's other requests, for instance the document now says detainees are not employees “and are not entitled to wages or benefits under applicable wage laws or labor regulations.”

Auditor General Bonnie Lsysk found Ford gov & Caroline Mulroney diverted $158 million dollars from high priority highway infrastructure in the north to lower priority multi-billion-dollar roads the south like the Bradford Bypass & Highway 413.

@CupoJoeBlow@bernielomax@ryankatzrosene Quickly; do you think there’s more money in climate science, or in the fossil fuel industry? Which one do you think has greater lobbying power?
This is genuinely such a disaster. I just don't get how this is what we're doing: manipulating oil futures to create an illusion of calm until oil stocks literally run out and we get the global economic version of losing consciousness from blood loss.
*No one* on earth thinks if we “did socialism” we would immediately solve anything. The argument, which you cannot dispute, is that solving things is impossible when powerful capital owners benefit directly from that problem not being solved.
Extending HST rebate on new homes to investors — not just owner-occupiers — aims to draw investors back and stop further housing price drops
A surge of money from people using housing as an investment is what screwed people using housing as housing
Here we go again
turns out AI models cannot do math.. even grade school math. the kind a 10-year-old solves.
Apple published a devastating study that exposes a massive illusion at the core of artificial intelligence.
they took the standard math benchmark (GSM8K) that every AI company uses to brag about how smart their model is.
first, they just changed the names in the word problems.. the models' performance fluctuated for no reason.
then, they changed the numbers. the performance immediately dropped.
but then they ran the test that broke everything.
they added one single, completely irrelevant sentence to the word problem. something like: "By the way, 5 of the apples were green."
A human 10-year-old ignores the green apples and solves the underlying math.
the AI didn't.
across every state-of-the-art model, performance collapsed by up to 65%.
the AI blindly grabbed the irrelevant number and tried to shove it into the equation. it didn't know why it was doing the math. it just saw a number and assumed it was supposed to use it.
there is no genuine logical reasoning happening under the hood.
we are deploying these systems to run our finances, analyze our legal documents, and make complex strategic decisions.
but the models don't actually understand the logic they are spitting out.
they just know what a smart answer is supposed to look like.
Jets at Billy Bishop:
▶️ would reduce 8,000 new homes planned for 37,000 residents
▶️ could require 86,000 existing homes "to have restrictions on balconies and outdoor space, non-operable windows and mechanical ventilation" because of noise and pollution

Confession: I have a crush on drandrewbb’s brain! He’s doing the WERK! Ontario has 2.5M people without a family doctor. Toronto just launched mobile health clinics at public libraries — no ID, no barriers, no excuses. This is what real healthcare access
Climate change denialism is such an obvious farce that it now requires Republicans to actively sabotage our data collection systems, fire hundreds of atmospheric scientists and oceanographers, and censor research.
