It really has been interesting the last while to see Doug Ford's outbursts. The true Ford. From "get a job" to "audit orgs that might support left wing causes". The authoritarian belligerent bully that had no staff to muzzle him in City Hall days is still there. Does Ontario see? Do they care?

This is a great piece from Ted Aivalis with a reminder that making it through winter requires each of us to help out city workers and do our part to prepare for the weather.

For once, US politics are my day's positives (Cheney dead! Mamdani won!) and Canadian politics are my day's negative (Budget sucks so bad!)

I also think we all need to recognize: the battle against Mamdani, because of what he represents, won't end with the election.
If he wins, the billionaire-aligned voices will stop at nothing to discredit his ideas, to show they fail. Every mistake will be amplified.
He'll live gamergate every day.

Honestly there is no surer sign that politicians like Mamdani actually have a shot at reversing the massive and growing plague of income inequality than the way the billionaire class is absolutely shitting its pants right now.
Their fear gives me hope change is actually possible! More Mamdanis now!

every most evil person is coming out of the woodworks to try and stop zohran mamdani from winning, his victory will be so delicious watching the meltdowns
