“A person afflicted with nationalism believes that his own country is the most civilised and humane country in the world while its enemies are guilty of every imaginable atrocity and vileness. Since they are so vile and atrocious, while we are so civilised and humane, there is no degree of vileness and atrocity which we may not legitimately practise towards them. This is the underlying creed of nationalism.”
― Bertrand Russell

Angie Nixon is on fire.
She pulled off a huge upset in her Florida primary, and she’s going to do it again on Tuesday.
Let’s take on Musk and the billionaires. Let’s get out the vote and elect Angie Nixon to the U.S. Senate!

The more I think about it, the weirder it is that Doug Ford actually made Ontario more dangerous. The vices more available, the highways faster, the bike lanes gone, healthcare workers fired.

The results have been certified and official poll-by-poll results for the Toronto elections have been released. Bradford's strongest polls very clearly correlate to the wealthiest neighbourhoods. Explore the map yourself, here: observingthecity.ca/toronto-…

There’s a new mural in Cabbagetown. 🍁
Ecology of Us, a new 22-storey mural by Jarus at 140 Carlton St., transforms a building into a tribute to the maple tree that stood nearby in Allan Gardens.
This City of Toronto, StreetARToronto mural advances reconciliation, diversity, equity and inclusion through public art, mentorship and community engagement, building more welcoming streets and a shared sense of belonging.🌳🎨

If he keeps saying things like that, it will become impossible for Canadians to pay for their own drinks in any bar in the democratic world.

Malcolm Gladwell just published a new book and gone on one popular show after another arguing that the U.S. needs to massively expand the profitable police surveillance state. The entire argument is based on an embarrassing factual error.

again, this is insane framing and objectively wrong based on the math
in no universe is a 13 point margin considered tighter than expected, especially when coupled with the fact that chow got more votes than any other mayoral candidate in the city’s history
A tighter-than-expected re-election leaves the mayor facing questions about passive leadership, thin plans and an unclear second-term agenda. thestar.com/news/gta/olivia-…

Canada has the smallest population of G7 countries. It therefore has the smallest GDP of G7 countries.
Italy is like 50% larger, France and UK more than 75% larger. Germany is like 2x Canada. Japan is 3x Canada. US is like 9x Canada.
In terms of GDP per capita, Canada is behind the US, roughly tied with Germany and the UK, and ahead of France, Italy and Japan.
Its stock market has outperformed the UK, Italy, Germany, France, Japan and the US over the past 18 months, per OP.
It is the only G7 country besides Germany with AAA ratings, per OP.
hope this helps

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.
For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

Olivia Chow is now the most successful singularly elected politician in Canadian history - Bradford LOST by 13 points - more than 130,000+ votes - but gets the lead on the headline like he almost did it? thestar.com/news/gta/brad-br…

When you're a progressive, racialized, senior woman, you can win by 10+ points and win the most votes in Canadian history and they'll still write a headline undercutting your political vision and the size of your victory.

Bradford isn’t going to be mayor and isn’t going to be councillor any more

I don't know much about Toronto politics, admittedly, but if the jackass CEO of Shopify is endorsing someone (and he is), vote for the other candidate.

So many conservative governments across Canada and people cannot understand why healthcare and education is fucked.

Mayor Chow is change. She inherited a mess from Mayor Tory and in 3 years is turning things around and has had many successes. Councillor Bradford peddles and promotes fear. He weaponizes people’s insecurity. He’s rabid raw ambition and his record diverges from what he says now.

In July, when asked about his frivolous use of taxpayer funds for unnecessary hotel stays, Premier Ford described then-minister Stan Cho’s behaviour as “totally unacceptable.” Today, he gave him a new title — and a $22,500 raise.
What changed, Premier? And what does accountability actually mean to you?
