The Doug Ford government unveiled broad "strong mayor powers" to Ontario mayors. The powers were only meant to be used to skip local debate when it comes to matters of building housing.
Instead 98% of the uses of "strong mayor powers" have been unrelated to housing.

In 1962, a very young woman named Jane Goodall stepped into the African forest.
What she would discover shattered our understanding of the place of human beings in the world.
She revealed that chimpanzees use tools, form bonds, and experience emotions.

Less than 36 hours away from a shutdown, Republicans chose to fly to North Carolina instead of to DC to do their jobs. This field hearing is just another example of them exploiting tragedy to score political points.

You know that “red wave” map Republicans love to trot out to prove how conservative the U.S. supposedly is? Well, now Trump is weaponizing the data behind it as his latest evidence of having won a so-called "landslide." But the thing is, the actual data tells a far different story.

He called Trump out in front of everyone.

When you witness harassment in public, do you tend to freeze? Are you worried you're going to make it worse? Are you scared you'll be targeted? Do you tend to overreact and unintentionally escalate things?
You're not alone.
