Competition to Bell, Rogers, & Telus is vanishing faster than EVER before. If we don’t stop the extinction of independent ISPs, by the end of the year we'll have NONE LEFT. Tell the CRTC: Stop Big Telecom’s takeover! #StopTheExtinction https://t.co/NWK1bfntws — via @OpenMediaOrg

In a shameful move, Doug Ford and John Tory are undermining democracy in Toronto with Bill 39, that allows the mayor to win votes with the support of only 1/3 of City Council. Majority rule is a key part of democracy. Sign @progresstoronto's petition https://t.co/fGcjthTyMm

I witnessed a beautiful interaction today let me share it with you. My city had a naked bike ride today to bring awareness to more sustainable environmental practices. Along their ride they ran into a Freedom Convoy protest (Canada’s equivalent to MAGA). 1/5 #yeg
