Something that Tanya Talaga said a couple of weeks ago that hasn’t left me: when you think of Murray, think of the weight of hearing thousands of accounts of untold horror, and the toll it would take on your body. Think of taking that on. cbc.ca/news/politics/murray-…

Who in the ever-loving world approved this @CanadianPress headline? @Joe_Bongiorno_ – humanity doesn’t cost you anything.

Significantly more bikes than cars were using College street in Toronto this afternoon. Protected bike lanes work to reduce traffic and improve safety. #onpoli #topoli

340,000 trips along Bloor this year that @PrabSarkaria and @fordnation would rather have happened in cars.

A historic landscape @OntarioPlace with 800 trees is being destroyed right now. They began work in the cover of darkness. A shameful moment in the history of Toronto and of Canada. @fordnation is responsible, with the collaboration of @UrbStrat @DiamondSchmitt @Studiotla

Why is there so many free washrooms for drivers (onroutes) but none for pedestrians in the city?

Reasonably raised expectations; I don’t hate it.
In the latest article about Kamala Harris’ staff turnover in the Washington Post, former staffers complain that she expects her team to be just as prepared as she is, and to be able to explain everything they put in her briefings and schedule.

BREAKING: The Internet Archive has lost its appeal in Hachette v. Internet Archive, the long-running, closely watched copyright case over the scanning and lending of print library books. Full story to follow.

The odds of your child getting kidnapped are about 1 in a million. The odds of a person born in 2021 dying in a traffic crash are about 1 in 93. American parents act like these stats are reversed. They're paranoid about the rare kidnapping but naive about the common drive.

Hey America, ask Canada what this is like. Spoiler: It’s terrible! (Yes, Loblaws is smaller but it’s proportionately a bigger market share if you measure per capita)
The mega-merger of Kroger and Albertsons would put 41 retail grocery brands, 5,000 grocery stores, 4,000 pharmacies and 700,000 employees under one roof. Today the @FTC is arguing in federal court to block it. Here's why that's good for consumers and working people.

My hometown is famous for being the test market for all of Canada. We got debit cards, the toonie, and McDonald’s pizza before anyone else.
Without naming where it is, what is your city famous for?
