Shortly after I joined twitter in 2008, another user took me to task for just making announcements on the platform - "its about a conversation" she instructed. And she was right.
Yup. Apathy. Losing players like Richie lessens your bond with the club as a supporter; overselling superstars who flame out breeds cynicism. We are a long way from 2017. Or even 2015’s “an air of expectation”
Sad to see Richie Lareya leave @TorontoFC ; a great player and our MVP of this terrible season. Losing him is a damming indictment of management, who don’t have the budget for him but have spent millions for Bernardeschi, increasingly ineffective on the pitch and toxic off it.
People living jail need to be discharged to a place to live, not to the streets. It’s outrageous that they can be discharged to the street without income or real community support. It’s like the system wants them to fail. cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/i…
It’s the right thing to do. Anything else condones the efforts to deny the election results. bbc.com/news/world-us-canada…
Excellent post and an important question
#topoli Dupont = intensification without urbanization. As this extended strip between Dupont & the railroad tracks evolves into a reasonably dense mixed use residential area, will the City do anything to transform what is effectively a mini highway into an complete urban street?

Not. A. Surprise.

Thanks for your service to @torontofc, @ashtone_m Legend in the supporter’s books. So many memories. Including a legendary (and critically important) goal
This afternoon, Canadian soccer legend @ashtone_m announced his retirement 🍁

Important for Canada to stand against the NRA Type rhetoric echoed by fringe Canadian gun groups (no doubt with NRA funding)
US gunmakers are setting their sights on international markets.
But with that flood of guns comes the potential for the kind of mass gun violence that has long plagued America trib.al/usChNiY
Revealing about the advocates of bail reform who pretend to be concerned about violent crime (for which it is already difficult to get bail) but demand that people charged with minor crimes go straight to jail without a trial. Politicians who echo that demand are shameless.

What bollocks. The climate isn’t partisan. The world is literally on fire and the cost - in lives, to the economy, and to nature - is massive. The UK government wants to pour oil on the fire. Disastrous.
Labour:
❌ Ban new oil and gas licences
❌ Rely 100% on imports
❌ Protect Russian jobs
❌ Risk UK security
Conservatives:
✅ Back new oil and gas licences
✅ Power more of Britain from Britain
✅ Protect British jobs
✅ Strengthen UK security

Spot on. Also, Canada’s oil industry will continue to lie about its contribution to the problem - and @globeandmail will continue to uncritically publish articles parroting their lies.
Catastrophic summers have caused a lot of citizens and governments to recalculate the costs of climate change, I write. Majorities now appear to recognize that the steep cost of stopping and reversing it is less than the personal cost of living with it

“A rudderless vessel completely lost at sea”.
Perhaps recruiting players by googling “what Italian National team players are out of contract and do well on Transfermarkt” is not a substitute for genuine recruitment and properly developing homegrown talent.

Bad result. Looks like Bob Bradley was the only thing holding this team together. Am sad to say I didn’t even try to watch.

Laughable. Pathetic.

Awesome and more than deserved. Congratulations @Jayati1609
I'm truly delighted to have just received the Galbraith Award 2023, even though I don't deserve the very generous citation.
