Agreed. No small feat. And for the DVP as well. But it did come at the cost of remaining silent and not opposing the ongoing Ontario Place fiasco.

Not a hard question, except for the culture that pretends it's not the answer

1) right-wing media lies incessantly, so anyone truth-based doesn't trust it, and anyone who trusts it doesn't trust anything else

2) other media treats those lies as legitimate, for "fairness," getting trust from no one

I look forward to the Anglican church inviting the unhoused to set up tents on the acres of land across the city they actually own and/or start paying property tax on it so the city can build more shelters and affordable housing.

After tearing down an encampment outside a church last week, the City of Toronto dropped large concrete blocks and erected metal fencing on the site — next to blocks and fencing it had placed there two years prior. @thestar.com www.thestar.com/news/gta/the...

The city dropped concrete blocks, fencing at the site of a Kensington encampment. The nearby church wants them gone

The city says they’re temporary, but the church, which supported the encampment, says more blocks and fencing remain from a clearing two years ago.

Hard and fast rule of legitimate policing:

With the sole exception of the undercover infiltration of criminal activity, if as an officer you undertake duties that cause you to hide your identity from the public then what you are doing is corrupt and immoral. Also, you're an asshole.

Catherine Connolly, the independent socialist, is President-Elect. Yet again, Ireland bucks the trend of liberal democracies falling to far right nihilism. Here is who she is - Connolly supports the LGBTQ community & People with Disabilities, Carers & a United Ireland. #Aras25 #SpeirGhorm

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

Voters who see what Trump is doing right now--the demolition, the extortion, the lying, the targeting of enemies, the weaponization of every branch of government--and support it only because Democrats hate it are failed citizens and bad Americans. They do not merit anyone's respect or outreach.
