They should be calling for Trump and the GOP's resignation.

Fun fact: Bluesky is outperforming Twitter on conversions for my Kickstarter by 900%.

Despite it having the most followers of any platform for me, Twitter is converting at lower numbers than EVERY OTHER social media platform I'm using (Facebook, Threads, Instagram, Bluesky).

Man...what a nerve wracking game for #ForgeFC. In the end though.

What irritates me the most about this, is there simply is no conversation that can be had regarding the police budget without being accused of wanting to destroy the police despite that easy cuts (mounted unit) could be made.

2-6% increases are fine in a growing city, but not year after year 8-10%

This here, this is something, regardless of party, is a major indicator that your MPP or MP is nothing but a back bencher and that should be a red flag. That they aren't looking out to advocate for your community/engage in politics and they are only there to vote when told to and just draw a wage.

I asked Hamilton Mountain MPP Monica Cirello her position on speed camera.

She stated the Premier's position is known.

Asked to clarify her position:

"The Premier's been clear about what we're going to do with speed cameras. I have no other comment."

Forge dodged a bullet there. Number of wins is the first tiebreak, followed by head to head which I believe Forge holds.

You couldn’t draw it up any better. Four of them actually in the Canadian Premier League this weekend as teams battle for final positioning and the chance to host games in the CPL Playoffs. #CanPL #TheChase

The area around the Hunter St. GO Station is one of the worst offenders to ugly, grey blah.

I don't think Forge or Atleti supporters expected this week to go down this way.

Well, who has that kind of money. Big business and big tech would be my top two answers....so...yeah don't support big businesses.

Ah yes, blame the government from 6 years ago for the problems you've made.

Big tents are easy to divide. Stop flirting with Liberalism. If people want a Liberal, they will vote for a Liberal.

Meat being killed in a humane, mostly painless fashion and the one doing to cutting saying a prayer for the animal killed? This is a serious concern?

Any chance she will be replaced by someone who will call out the HPS's ludicrous spending increases?

Many Canadian provinces want to get rid of it, we've just been polite and waiting on the US to switch as to not muck up air traffic control.
