On Canada Day, @_MarkSutcliffe boasted about high transit ridership - he forgot to mention one thing: it was free. Detractors of free transit argue we must chose between affordability and reliability but its a false choice - we can and should hve both: ottawacitizen.com/opinion/sam-he…

POO is clapping back

BREAKING: Concession workers at Fenway are on strike. This is the first walkout in the 113 year history of the Boston Red Sox’s stadium. These essential workers will be on strike as the World Series champion Dodgers come to town this weekend.

A new analysis finds the government could cut the equivalent of more than 24,000 full-time jobs in the National Capital Region. In analysis from @ccpa senior economist @DavidMacCdn. #canlab #cdnpoli ottawacitizen.com/public-service…

This isn't some "fringe extremist" - this is a cabinet minister. This week the Knesset voted in an overwhelming majority to annex the West Bank. The quote you see below is what is now considered mainstream in Israel.

Suburban transit riders have had to face some of the worst consequences of New Ways to Bus, yet every councillor in Barrhaven, Kanata, and Orleans voted to approve these cuts (3.5% of total service). Something to remember for the 2026 election...

We should never forgive those in our own countries — the pundits, the propagandists, the government officials — who have defended, facilitated, and enabled these crimes. Our "rules-based international order" in action.

Canada condemns the Israeli government’s failure to prevent the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian disaster in Gaza. Israel’s control of aid distribution must be replaced by comprehensive provision of humanitarian assistance led by international organizations. Many of these are…

Not sure how the government expects the PS to deliver on their policy priorities when they plan to axe this many jobs.

The absolute disdain that people have for government workers (as you'll see in the replies) is so ridiculous and so incredibly misguided - Carney's massive cuts means waiting hours more on the phone with the CRA, it means having trouble accessing EI and your pension.

The cuts from @MarkJCarney on the public service will decimate Ottawa's local economy but not a single small business, local politician or city councillor have spoken up about it. Where is the same outrage they had around letting people work from home? ottawacitizen.com/public-service…

All of the countries that support a two-state solution should be imposing sanctions any minute now right? timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry…

Extremely problematic motion from @BrownWard21 and new Osgoode councillor Isabelle Skalski who want staff to look into options to privatize parts of our public transit system. The only way we will improve the system is by investing in it not selling it off.

Shocking news: The @FordNation government is scheming to sell off key parts of one of Ontario's busiest and most beloved provincial parks - Wasaga Beach Provincial Park. environmentaldefence.ca/2025/07/22/was…

I have met Canadian Palestinians who have lost upwards of hundreds of family members in Gaza, sharing unimaginable pain and worry for remaining loved ones. Their fears grow with each day that passes without meaningful action towards upholding international humanitarian law.

Good.

Saying that a baby being starved to death is "giving up" is so heinous it's unreal.

Tbh this statement makes it even worse because our government knows what Israel is doing is horrific but continues to do absolutely nothing to stop it. Absolutely morally destitute.
