Good to have you back.

BREAKING: Columbian President Gustavo Petro just released the following condemnation of President Trump:

"Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighbourhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together.

I confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller

I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country

I don't like your oil, Trump, you're going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I'm not, nor is any Colombian.

So if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't accompany me, I'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last.

You will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom...." --->>> Continued

You don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA, at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from Covid.

Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is threatening to unseat elected officials if they do not follow his orders to shut down the government during the holidays.

Are we still a democracy or have we already moved to oligarchy and authoritarianism?

[Dean Blundell🇨🇦 @ItsDeanBlundell]

TPA is now a lobby group for Conservatives.
Apparently.

[Mike Layton @m_layton]

It's not too late for the province to change direction on this. We have gathered the necessary information - It's costly and a waste of $75M, the lanes are well used, and they save lives.

Trump’s dirty election night trick doesn’t work if you know it’s coming. Let me explain.

Removing bikelanes is CRIMINAL. Why? More people will be killed and injured.

Toronto needs MORE bikelanes for SAFE CONNECTIVITY!
Why support bike riding?
• Democracy: people are equal!
• More cyclists = less congestion, cleaner air, less noise!
• Cycling is good for business!

Doctors without Borders is outraged by the repeated killings of our staff in #Gaza and calls for an immediate halt on attacks of medical personnel, humanitarian workers and civilians.

Rather than invest in fixing schools, improving healthcare, building transit or helping our most vulnerable, Doug Ford is sending $200 to every Ontarian including millionaires like Doug Ford (that’s $3 billion of your tax dollars on this pre-election campaign scheme). Shameful.

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. https://t.co/pBWLfi5QKC

Van Jones: “Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are not taking the same exam. And I think it bothers people. They’re not taking the same exam. He gets to be lawless. She has to be flawless. That’s what’s unfair.”

[Chris DeGroot 🚲 @ct_degroot]

I assume Ford is getting his 1.2% of people commute by bike figure as a province-wide number, which includes places with no infrastructure at all.

These are the real numbers for Toronto - up to 7.5% in urban wards.

[Dean Blundell🇨🇦 @ItsDeanBlundell]

Read this shit out loud to yourself.

Pierre Poilievre is trying to tell Canadians he’s won’t sit for his NatSec background clearance because they’ll find lots of bad things and they’ll be used against him.

I can’t stop laughing

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Oh for goodness sake: would you finally do your job and open the Eglinton Crosstown... ?? and while you are at it: do what we asked and open the 407 to trucks for free!

You - Minister, Premier - only have yourselves to blame.

Couldn't build their way out of a paper box.

[Jagmeet Singh @theJagmeetSingh]

Pierre Poilievre must put our country before his party.

Pierre Poilievre’s refusal to seek security clearance continues to put Canadians and Canadian Democracy at risk.

Pierre, get your security clearance.

While now the province today has said they’ll rip out existing cycling infrastructure… I’ll say it again: I do not support limiting city powers.

Let’s not go backwards. It’s always better when we work together.

Ripping up our roads will make congestion worse. Meanwhile, the province’s failure to deliver transit projects on time has led to long construction delays and years of road closures that have made it harder to get around our city.

The province should be focused on finally opening the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRTs and fixing the chaos at Metrolinx.

[CBC News @CBCNews]

Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives have been calling on Justin Trudeau to release the names of allegedly compromised parliamentarians.
But law enforcement and national security agencies have been clear: sharing any classified information is a crime. https://t.co/ESnj0o3ioO

[Dean Blundell🇨🇦 @ItsDeanBlundell]

Green Party Leader Elizabeth May just put Pierre Poilievre in a body bag.

The only logical reason PeePee won’t get his NatSec background check at this point?

He knows he won’t pass it.
