15 countries produce 80% of global oil supply. A treaty of 15 or 20 is much easier to coordinate and enforce than a treaty of 200 countries using fossil fuels.

يبدو فعلاً أن الجيش ورئيس هيئة الأركان نجحا في منع نتنياهو من شن حرب على إيران. أمر لم أكن أتوقعه إطلاقاً. نتنياهو سيواصل المناورة حتى اللحظات الأخيرة، وقد ينجح بإشعال الحرب في أي لحظة، ولكن حتى الآن يبدو واضحاً أن رئيس هيئة الأركان نجح في عرقلة جميع محاولاته لشن الحرب.

It's edifying that voters were not fooled by Bradford's plan to only halfway privatize Toronto's water. In fact this seems to have been decisive in the turn back to Chow.

In 1958, Soviet epidemiologist Viktor Zhdanov proposed a motion at the WHO to eradicate smallpox. No disease had ever been eradicated. By 1980 it was done. 150 million or more lives have been saved by this.
I’ve asked this before but is there any historical event that is like the Opposite of 9/11. Like something so good that happened that it changed the world forever

Yep and his name is Terry Fox

I do not care how cringe people think this is, They are right. The internet used to be fun and it belonged to all of us. And it still can be if we fight for it.
How is the internet less private than in 2006, when the whole family shared one computer? Back then, the internet was weird, personal, and all of ours. So, we got your favorite meme legends back together to say it louder: What happened to the internet? 1/3

I do not make the rules. The law is quite clear. He must now change his name to Sankofa Squareford.

I just want to say I’m very proud of how my little site performed tonight and I hope some of you have found it useful. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a longggg time and can’t believe I made it happen.
With first results coming in, Chow has an 88% chance of winning. See the forecast at observingthecity.ca/toronto-…

A big congrats to whoever made a lot of money running the social media bot farms that Brad Bradford and his campaign used during this mayoral race. They must have made a ton of money.

Who was their alternative? He won his ward as a Buttigieg type of "sounds progressive at first hearing but promises nothing" crypto right winger. It was probably a decent bet he could fool the city the same way.
I think there are a lot of people on Toronto’s very powerful political centre/right who are going to wake up tomorrow wondering why they went all in on that guy of all the guys.

Also, a special 'eat shit' to all the provincial and federal Liberals + Gil Penalosa who supported Bradford. Your spineless actions were noted.
Great night for Toronto. Chow back as Mayor. Council gets more progressive. Ausma Malik + Alejandra Bravo are returning. Nate Erskine-Smith, Mike Layton, Chiara Padovani, Sara Ehrhardt and Diana Chan-McNally are joining.

Congratulations, @oliviachow. I look forward to protesting your support of an increased police budget.
How about Bad Bradford with pants on fire?

Don't worry Bradford fans, he'll be an MPP or MP and end up in cabinet because that's what we do with failed right wing Mayoral candidates.

"Chow got the most votes of any Toronto Mayoral candidate in the city's history." Use that. You'd better believe if Bradford had won with this margin it would be smashed in all our faces to justify whatever bullshit he was really planning.

It also looks like turnout was way up from 2023 and 2022. Might even eclipse 2014's 54% turnout. You could say it's a mandate.
