Doug Ford’s going to raise the speed limit to 80 on all residential streets in Ontario for Halloween. If your kids can’t dodge a black Suburban they don’t deserve their treats.
NYC is opening 160 car-free (but treat-filled) streets and plazas to enjoy fun and safe fall festivities this spooky season.
Find one near you at nyc.gov/trickorstreets.

Until now, ending a legal strike required MPs to stand in the House and vote for it, in public, with their names recorded. That accountability was a guardrail. Bill C-39 removes this and calls the removal reinforcement. Canadians, should not accept the vocabulary.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Everything Carney says he needs private equity to build and finance has been done in the past by government. Instead of taxing wealth to finance these projects he is instead selling our infrastructure to the wealthy.
In the end we own nothing while paying more for it.

Carney continues to repeat this incorrect and misleading line that projects weren’t being built under the previous government to justify the sweeping environmental deregulation agenda he is pursuing. But as I reported a year ago, hundreds of billions of dollars worth of projects were happening.

Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year.
