millennials after making one (1) phone call:
.@cmckenney's idea to fund bike infrastructure w/ green bonds doesn't mean we need to build a whole new funding mechanism! Ottawa's Green Debenture Framework: ottawa.ca/en/business/re… City reports say Ottawa plans to continue issuing ~$150M in green bonds/year between 2023-26.
Damn, Bill.
Jon interviewed Leslie Rutledge, Arkansas Attorney General, about why her state banned gender-affirming care for minors - ignoring the guidelines of major medical organizations and taking the decision out of parents’ hands. Watch the full interview on @AppleTVPlus
Hi there. Political advertising and Canadian politics expert here. This story is embarrassing in its ignorance and its complicity in further muddying the waters. It brings undeserved disrepute to candidates, volunteers, and civil society organizations. Basically, it's crap. /1

Genuine question: in a democratic society, how can determine what optimal policy is without engaging in politics? Also a suggestion: perhaps the populist anger of the last decade is a reaction to technocratic economic policy that didn't factor in political desires of citizens?

Countless women have messaged me with similar reporting stories since I shared mine. Stories about reporting domestic violence, sexual assault, threats -- so many stories of women being failed. We HAVE to do better.

Amendment states CRTC may impose conditions “in relation to online undertakings that provide a social media service, the discoverability of Canadian creators of programs”. Not about Netflix promoting a Canadian show. It’s about CRTC setting conditions on social media feeds. 3/3
Until everyone is safe, no-one is safe. We must ensure the world is producing as many vaccines as possible, and trade rule barriers must be temporarily lifted to do so. Thanks to all colleagues working across party lines to get this done, especially @MarcusPowlowski and @beynate

@SjamieIt @ShawnMenard1 @CapitalWard I’d love to see a short pedestrian bridge built over the Canal between Bronson and Bank. These side streets can actually make for great bike routes (better with additional traffic calming 🤞 ) and create separated networks for driving and cycling.
Just letting you know that it's @ahfranchement's birthday and that I never thought I'd meet anyone who makes me feel comfortable being me. It took one Tinder date (we met by the canal while it was being dredged, revealing mounds of garbage full of seagulls) and I was in love.
This is devastating. This is around the age I left home and looking back, I don’t know how I survived those years. I was very lucky. There are many young people in this province with nowhere to go and no one to look after them or to fight for them. Their lives matter too.

I owe a lot to this local Youtuber (who I wish I even knew the actual name of) who goes by Imitative Photography. Does deep dives on styles of famous photogs. Ever since seeing his Toshio Shibata vid (a landscape photog who rarely includes sky), I always try to get one in.
It's crazy how much infrastructure is just...sitting there. And like, the stairs up from the Beltline don't need the crosstown to be running to be useful? Just open it up!
Eglinton is so busy with car traffic and so poorly serviced by transit. It would be amazing to introduce some form of higher order transit, something that goes across town…

This is a BIG DEAL for seniors. The Biden-Harris administration just announced new minimum standards for nursing homes. The new rules require a minimum staffing level & for 80% of Medicaid dollars to go to workers’ salaries. #UnionsForAll This will improve care tremendously.
despite my situation speaks volumes. Had I been in Ontario at the time of Mike Harris rather than in BC I’m highly doubtful I’d have had the same opportunity. During those years in university, I became politically active and passionate about post secondary education. /7
