"The Ford government rejected several proposals from the city of Toronto that would have restored traffic lanes on Bloor Street, Yonge Street and University Avenue, while also maintaining protected bike lanes." This isn't about 'congestion' for Ford. #ONpoli buff.ly/IenqRZB

I don't think we'll ever be done with the "I fucking told you so's."
The Food Research & Action Center reported that these changes would weaken safety nets and worsen food insecurity for low-income families:

Urban farming.
For the last few years there has been a series of planters someone has left on the street allowance on Sheppard Ave.
They've planted onions & chives, fenced it off & actively tend to it. If there ever was a use case for a local community garden. This is it.

This University of Alberta student isn’t real, but the AI-generated video is being used to promote Alberta separatism ahead of the Oct. 19 provincial referendum.

Mayor of Calgary: "It's really rich to see from some of these leaders in the separatist movement, they talk about freedom, sovereignty. And when they go down south of the border, offering our water, our land, our oil, this is not about taking back Alberta, this is about selling out Alberta."

Time to call it what it is: separatists are promising to work with Trump and betray the rest of us.
Two politicians playing with separatism to advance their own power.
They would rather look to Trump’s govt than work with the Canadian government we elected.

Separatists have been coy about how they’d work with Trump to dismantle Canada. Now they’re facing tough questions, and so they should.

There are immigration questions on the separatist ballot for a reason. It is to advance the purpose of a white, Christian nation. Christian nationalism is a big part of the separatist movement, so it's no surprise they started with trans ppl and immigrants--TFWs, especially
Did anyone think Danielle Smith was at Mar-a-Lago for her schoolgirl charm? These guys don't have you at the table unless you are in their service and have something to give them. I wonder what her exposure is in totality

Canada a bit unusual in that it is legal to advocate for breaking up the country via a province seceding. But when you do so by cozying up to the country engaged in a trade war with Canada that starts to look close to treason

The elephant in the room
Alberta separatists have gone to D.C. offering fresh water and oil in exchange for American support – and Republican operatives have provided tactical assistance inside the province
