Doug Ford like to talk tough on crime, except when it comes to lawbreaking motorists who illegally increase the risk of your kid being killed by a car.

Terrible idea from a terrible premier!
Speed cameras are among the best ways to make roads safer, especially around schools.
Time for the people, organizations, health care providers & politicians who want safer streets to step up and vocalize their opposition to this

Doug Ford will outlaw municipal speed cameras this fall: sources

Sources say Ford's Progressive Conservatives will table legislation later this fall to outlaw the "automated speed enforcement" devices.

Finished two great books this week. I know I'm a bit late with both of these but if you haven't already read them, "There There" by Tommy Orange and "Memorial Drive" by Natasha Trethewey are excellent reads. Highly recommend. #CanadaReads

Quite the headline juxtaposition on the NYT homepage this morning.

Two headlines from the New York Times webpage. The top says, "It Isn't Just America. The Whole World Has Soured on Climate Politics." The bottom headline says, "Climate Change's Toll in Europe This Summer: Thousands of Extra Deaths."

For whatever reason this vile and terrifying graffiti has barely made an appearance in local #ldnont news. Sharing here because we are experiencing a significant rise in #genderbasedviolence & #femicide in Ontario & Canada. This deserves attention & action.

The Arctic is heating up quickly, but scientists say polar geoengineering is 'unrealistic' and 'dangerous' | CBC News

They worry further research will detract from emissions reductions and have made the case as to why the five most considered methods are not feasible.

Back from the Exeter Critical Legal Conference 2025 Surf 'n' Turf where I presented "New Agreement, New Terminology: Rethinking the Geographies of Marine Protected Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction." Thank you to all the organizers for a wonderful event. @universityofessex.bsky.social is so pretty.

"Praying for rain" is not a sound national policy to deal with devastating #forestfires. We need leaders to take #climatechange seriously, to develop provincial & national strategies to protect communities & treasured landscapes. #cdnpoli #climateaction www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

‘Pray for rain’: wildfires in Canada are now burning where they never used to

Canada’s response to the extreme weather threat is being upended as the traditional epicentre of the blazes shifts as the climate warms

Yesterday I had a chance to chat with @mattbrownldn.bsky.social about #heatdomes, #forestfires, #smoke and what #ldnont is doing to adapt to & mitigate #climatechange. We didn't plan it, but our conversation fell on a day when I woke up to extreme smoke levels due to the Port Alberni fire.

Yes, we’re in the darkest part of the map. (As you can imagine, we’re really worried about our mom.)

Carol Dyck @caroldyck.bsky.social · Aug 14

Same lake, 2 days apart. Woke up to intense #forestfire smoke at 4 am & raced to shut all the windows. It’s so bad going outside to take pictures was a challenge- lungs, eyes & throat burning. If you are affected, stay indoors & check on vulnerable friends/family. Thanks all firefighters! #BCFires

Rural medicine in #BritishColumbia is a complete disaster. It´s the same story across Canada. These are people’s lives we’re dealing with. It’s time that our provinces and the country actually prioritize #healthcare. #bcpoli #cdnpoli #ruralmedicine @davidebybc.bsky.social

My kid turns 19 today! We celebrated by going to an @torontobluejays.bsky.social game and doing a stadium tour. L's favourite player, Bo, hit a home run and the Jays won the game so it was a pretty perfect way to ring in adulthood. 🥳 #BlueJays #Lightsupletsgo

Need summer reading recommendations? I read #TheBreak several months ago & just finished #TheStrangers by #KatherenaVermette. Heart wrenching, captivating, difficult but beautiful reads. Characters are so well portrayed. Cannot recommend highly enough. #CanadaReads #MetisLiterature #CanLit
