At least $50 billion for another pipeline. $82 billion in new military spending in 5 years. $300 billion in corporate welfare and mega incentives at an investment summit. But the cupboard is bare for Parks Canada. Despite the heroic efforts of the @psac_afpc workers who'll remain, camping will be chaos next summer. If you’re not a big corporation or foreign investor, you might just be invisible to this government.

2,671 PSAC members at Parks Canada received notice this week that their positions may be cut. These cuts put our environment, natural and cultural heritage, parks, and national historic sites at risk. psacunion.ca/psac-raises-ala…

If you live in, let's say Chesley, Ontario and have a medical emergency between the hours of 5PM and 7AM, or on the weekend, your ER is closed. Yet, Doug Ford's government is blowing $50 million on removing bike lanes in Toronto. chesleyfoundation.ca/our-hos…

Work to restore vehicle lanes on Bloor Street West was scheduled to begin tonight but was halted by protesters. Make no mistake: these bike lanes are coming out. We have a clear mandate and we will deliver.

If you live outside of Toronto, the Ontario government is blowing $50 million of you tax dollars on ripping bike lanes out of Toronto. This is money that could be spent on keeping your local hospital's ER open or fixing your local school's roof.

Instead of hating out-of-context (but still good, imho) Anne Carson fragments on Twitter dot com, how about you dig into this stunner of an essay on her Parkinson's diagnosis, Cy Twombly, and Catullus. There's so much humanity, thinking/feeling, here. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v47/n04/…

This is a fun website. If you put in your postal code it will tell you how much the Ford gov't cut from the education budget in your area. Our local school was cut over $500,000 a year or $3000 per student. Put in your postal code and prepare for shock. buildingbetterschools.ca/

I’m greedy: I want way more financial support for new, less commercial literary novels AND I want reissues of work that hasn’t received its due, AND I want enough space in book criticism to write about all of it on its own terms.

Canada has two moods. "I'm sorry" and "You're about to be sorry." We're at the latter stage.

If anyone is wondering how not updating this app since it was twitter is going: pictures display as links, I can’t post replies, I can see the number of QTs but not what they actually say, and I approximately 75% of DMs never show up. But at least I got that bird.
