We've learned a lot since the Auditor General's report but there's still so much we don't know about Ford's Greenbelt Giveaway. Ontario Greens are calling for a full public inquiry to bring all the facts to light. #onpoli

Under Ford's watch accountability and transparency have gone out the window in favour of billion-dollar giveaways to insiders. The only way we’ll find out what really happened is to bring the facts into broad daylight. That's why @OntarioGreens are calling for a public inquiry.



U.S. shooting anatomy: Shooting -> Sorrow -> Shock -> Anger -> Hand wringing -> NRA Backlash -> Meh -> Shooting

The NRA used to go dark after shooting tragedies and send GOP pundits out to reprimand us for talking about solutions, saying "It's too soon." Now the NRA feels empowered to troll us when the white supremacist they helped radicalize and arm with weapons of war murders Americans.

The story that got me banned from Marineland: 14 whales and one dolphin have died at Marineland since 2019. Most of those deaths occurred over a two-year timeframe. It’s still unclear why they died. I will keep digging. thecanadianpressnews.ca/politics/14-wh…

The relentless noisiness of daily life is more than annoying — it can have lasting effects on the body. Noise is an under-recognized health threat that increases the risk of hypertension, stroke and heart attacks. nyti.ms/3P04VR9

Nothing as loud as fire trucks. They’re a blight

Kids playing outside are louder than construction? Louder than lawnmowers? Louder than motorcycles? Louder than ambulances? The 8 kids are outside 11- 12, and 4-5 pm, often at the park across the street from the daycare. This is urban Vancouver, not a monastery. #NIMBYism

BREAKING: Canada's brutal national police are again arresting Indigenous peoples trying to protect their own lands - this time the Pacheedaht nation in British Columbia. Brave reporting by Brandi Morin. The RCMP has to be the most anti-Indigenous police force in the world.⤵️

A friendly reminder that: One of Doug Ford's 1st acts was to eliminate rent control on all new units occupied after 15 Nov 2018. In the 90s Mike Harris eliminated rent control on vacant units. If you're wondering why rent has risen so much lately, those are good places to start.

I remember! I thought this was a line that stood out from one of your reports at the end of the trial: “Judge Timothy Lipson, who presided over the case, said Livingston was a sophisticated individual who knew exactly what he was doing.” globalnews.ca/news/3974919/o…
