@TheBikingLawyer I've had them pull the same shit on me in Toronto riding down Dewson in the morning, and screaming at me. These people are supposed to be professional drivers.

@bikepirates @TheBikingLawyer @CycleToronto As legal as any other institution claiming extraordinary rights for itself, I suppose. I know that @shawnmicallef tried to deal (unsuccessfully but humorously) with this. See #poopchat https://t.co/P8TKad8tmu

@wild_brian @leilanifarha @BobRae48 I suppose if your vision is so incredibly short-sighted that you believe this exercise of grossly asymmetric power you call a war started on Oct 7th. Clue - An occupying force has no legitimate claim to self-defence.

@howiseeit15 @TheBikingLawyer @TorontoPolice Fuck off. Nothing warrants this assault. POS victim blaming garbage

@maritstiles @CBCNews Prosecute the kleptocrats that steal our public trust. Plain and simple. Otherwise, without this basic accountability, this will just happen again and again and again ad nauseum #prosecutekleptocrats

@denisebatters So in true Canadian fashion, the electorate will elect someone who will take what's broken and smash it to to even smaller, irreparable bits. I am so done with this stupid f#%king pendulum of dysfunctional lunacy

[Shane Miersch @shanedontgo]

@CP24 Ooh must be producing raw milk

[Shane Miersch @shanedontgo]

@Jeppespip @DrLoupis No that's too obvious. We need a more conspiratorial explanation

[Shane Miersch @shanedontgo]

@JSanders174 @DrLoupis Almost as if they are different viruses with different properties and circulation dynamics. Who'd have thought!?!?

[Shane Miersch @shanedontgo]

@ARKATECHBEATZ @DrLoupis @blkprince0977 Uh oh somebody is asking 'questions' and wants 'evidence'. Appears they don't believe the 'narrative'. Can't both be part of the group think and question the group think! Get in line skeptic and stop undermining the propaganda effort!

@CTVToronto The fine levied is political theatre in which govt and Weston share the profits of their gouging which far exceed the fine. The rebate more political theatre and a tiny transient bandaid designed to quell people's justified rage. Thieves. Every last one of them

It would seem that, like early attempts to #patent BRCA1 and 2 genes, an #epitope is - as #SCOTUS concluded, a "product of nature and not patent-eligible merely because it's been isolated" Patenting epitopes would chill #innovation and #competition

@CityNewsTO A one time rebate to help with greedflation that continues to this day and beyond. Sounds legit.

Something simple, symbolic and toothless versus finding a viable solution to a challenging ongoing and structurally reinforced problem.

[Shane Miersch @shanedontgo]

@Andrew76991722 @CTVToronto Get a clue. I'm neither boiling nor simmering. I am explaining to someone who doesn't understand. If they are rich enough to leave a property vacant, they are rich enough to pay the tax. Or use property for what it was intended. To house people. A point you seem not to get.

[Shane Miersch @shanedontgo]

@Andrew76991722 @CTVToronto This isn't a fashion decision. It's housing. Everyone deserves to have shelter. It's a necessity of life. That ain't socialism. It's basic fucking decency.

[Shane Miersch @shanedontgo]

@Andrew76991722 @CTVToronto Having more than one property, ESPECIALLY when it sits empty, is directly connected to the lack of affordable housing and is the fault of those with >1 property. Again, supply and demand. Basic capitalist theory, you seem not to understand.

[Shane Miersch @shanedontgo]

@Andrew76991722 @CTVToronto nice try. Capitalism requires you mobilize your capital. A vacant house is idle capital. A tax is intended to encourage mobilization of that capital. People are yearning for affordable housing and if capitalism can't provide it, then a better system is required. Hoarding isn't it

[Shane Miersch @shanedontgo]

@DadoPerk @ChatoyantGem @AdrianG008 So less creativity and more blind adherence to a work schedule will put society on the right path and save them from wokism and imagination? Did I get that right? Cuz freedom, m I right? Sounds like unvarnished nonsense. Zzzzz

[Shane Miersch @shanedontgo]

@YerFavColonizer @ChatoyantGem @AdrianG008 Because being awake and being aware are so radically different.
