Just another disgraceful day in Ford’s Ontario, where he only shows up for photo ops to insult students & call people names. Is this how you treat the people you claim to “Protect” in you non stop costly ads, Doug? This isn’t leadership, it’s disgusting.

Obama: “While we're alienating key allies like Canada, the White House is bending the knee to Vladimir Putin and selling out Ukrainians who are fighting for their freedom and democracy”

Transit advocacy group @ttcriders did an extensive survey of Toronto election candidates, asking if they would commit to 18 priorities. Chow committed to all of them. Bradford didn't respond.

Internal docs show MTO staff warned against Ford govt’s bike lane removal: “No empirical evidence that ties bike lanes as the sole source of congestion, nor is there data that shows removing bike lanes help with better traffic flow” thestar.com/news/gta/doug-fo… #onpoli #bikeTO #TOpoli

BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly furious because the annual ranking of US presidents by a committee of 100 top presidential historians was released today, and the committee almost unanimously ranked Trump’s second term as the worst in US history.

Price discrepancies & unusual restrictions persist on the Ford government’s Staples portal weeks after its launch.
Single pack of crayons: $1.82.
3-pack of the same crayons: $39.59.
USB drives, headphones & some popsicle sticks remain restricted, while a $377 drill-bit set is still available for purchase.
And now, some teachers say they can’t even access the portal until Oct. 9, more than a month into the school year.

I’m at Union Station all the time. Are you?
It is not unsafe.
There is already a significant presence of City and TTC security and Metrolinx special constables.
Manufacturing a crisis around one of Toronto’s safest and most important gateways doesn’t make anyone safer. It scares people away from transit and undermines confidence in our city.
A mayor should be Toronto’s biggest champion. You cannot lead a city you are constantly talking down.
P.S. I’ve spent time in cities around the world with a heavy police presence. It does not make people feel safer - it signals that there is something to fear.
More than a quarter of a million people pass through Union Station every day. It should make commuters feel safe, visitors feel welcome, and investors feel like they’ve arrived in a city that has its act together.
As Mayor, I’ll put a permanent, visible police presence inside Union Station and raise the standard for safety and cleanliness across our transit system.
Toronto can do better.
Real change means setting a higher standard. And delivering real results.

NEW: Fresh off of its court victory, the Ford government says it’s now looking for a company to start ripping out bike lanes on three Toronto roads, including Bloor, Yonge and University Avenue.

Q: What was the thinking behind inviting the Russians to the G20 meeting in Ashville?
Trump: We like getting along with everybody

Before the Ford government banned speed cameras, three provincial analyses found that they reduced speeding, collisions and injuries, including in school zones.

So according to a poll today, Ford is “enjoying a substantial bump in the polls” placing him back on top. Unbelievable. 🤨 I guess it’s time to once again remind people that Doug: ⤵️

It’s still Lake Ontario.
It’s still the Gulf of Mexico.
And Donald Trump is still the worst president in American history.
Happy Friday! 🇺🇸

Chapman's Ice Cream has just done something EVERY Canadian should know.
The largest ice cream company in Canada used to source fruit and nuts from American suppliers — for some, for over 30 years. Then, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian products.
So, what did Chapman's do?
📷 They called Italy.
📷 They called Spain.
📷 They signed multi-year contracts with European suppliers.
And the vice president said it perfectly:
"Even if Trump wakes up smarter than yesterday, we're about to sign long-term deals with other countries — and the American companies that supply them will have nothing but their eyes to cry for."
Oh, and on top of ALL that? They're COLDing their prices so that the average Canadian doesn't have to spend a single cent more.
It's a family business. No shareholders. Just the Chapman family saying: "The least we can do is make sure Canadians still have the means to buy ice cream."
That's what Canadian pride looks like.
Next time you're at the grocery store — grab some Chapman's.
Every scoop of ice cream is a vote for Canada.

Nepal’deki sel felaketinin nasıl meydana geldiğini gösteren bir simülasyon:
Himalayalar’da bir buzul kütlesinin koparak vadiye düşmesiyle buz, kaya ve toprak nehir yatağına sürüklendi. Oluşan devasa su ve moloz dalgası, kısa sürede nehir yatağı boyunca ilerleyerek önüne çıkan her şeyi sürükledi.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Simulation inaccurately shows a lake already present before the debris arrives. Nepali officials say an ice-rock avalanche blocked the Lhende Khola on 26 Aug, forming a temporary debris dam and lake that then burst. No pre-existing lake at the site has been confirmed.
