ER doctor here. No EMS crew I have ever received a patient from has complained about a delay on University Avenue due to bike lanes nor have I ever had a patient harmed by such a delay. Fact vs fiction. @abctoronto_
#NEW: University Ave. should be a hospital corridor first, not a traffic experiment. We are calling for removal of bike lanes that slow ambulance access to Canada’s busiest hospitals. Sign the petition. Share this post. abctoronto.org/petitions/bik… #TOpoli #Toronto

WALKING
Why is it that elected officials do not care about WALKING?
• Toronto: 1 of 4 streets do NOT have a sidewalk! Not ONE elected official has walking top 5 priority.
• India: 60% trips under 2k are walking; unsafe!
• US over 1/2 trips under 3mi/5km; walkable... if SAFE!

In case it needed to be said, I stand behind the reporting.
I have other words to say but my boss would prefer I don’t say them.
These reports could not be further from the truth.
On the contrary, just two weeks ago our government brought forward clear action and ambitious investment in the Spring Economic Update to protect at-risk whale populations, not only on the B.C. coast, but all of Canada’s coastlines. Furthermore, our government is working to protect up to 700,000 square km of oceans in Canada over the next four years.
We would not take any actions that would undermine these important strategies and substantial investments. Our approach to assessments isn’t about cutting corners, but improving coordination, efficiency, and long-term planning resulting in faster decisions, without weakening oversight or standards.
We are committed to building big things fast that connect and grow a strong Canadian economy, though always building in a manner that is sustainable for our environment, in solidarity with our workers, and in partnership with Indigenous peoples.

The Late, Great Progressive Conservative Senator Hugh Segal.
He championed UBI because it would benefit workers, markets, and the economic freedoms of Canadians.
Here is his last speech, recorded at our Toronto rally.

A lot of ambitious people spend the early part of their lives in credential-seeking mode. But you'll hit a wall if you're still in this mode when you start a startup. Making what users want is a completely different m.o. from charming authorities and doing well on tests.

Two weeks after I joined the Clarium hedge fund, Lehman Brothers collapsed.
Today feels to me like that day did.

As long as we have publicly funded Catholic boards of education we will need to have this fight over and over again. Instead, let's make the bold decision to truly protect our LGBTQ2S+ students by moving to a single board. #onpoli #olpldr #onted vote.alvintedjo.ca/learningt…
"Liberal MPP Michael Coteau, a former Toronto public school trustee and board vice-chair, said Del Grande’s alleged 'comments and recent actions are simply wrong…He should unreservedly apologize and retract his comments.'"

Marriage is all about not just finding someone who will let you become exactly who you are supposed to be, but is wildly excited about it.

About 50 reviews through 300 YC applications submitted for comment.
Surprising how unaware people are of competition. Yes, you don't die by competition, but when you make something new, you should be hyper-aware of what Google might tell people to use instead of you.
