I'm no employment lawyer, but is this legal? You can't not pay employees just because you call them "volunteers".

Obviously it'll depend on the text of the amendments, but giving authors the right to a portion of resale would mean architects of Toronto houses could be in for a big payday theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…

Wow. Resigning as Finance Minister on the morning of a fiscal update while publicly lambasting your boss has got to be one of the most satisfying ways to quit a job.

Whatever you think of the International Criminal Court or its legitimacy, the fact remains that Canadian law makes it an indictable offence to obstruct its work. I guess Poilievre would revoke Canada's ratification of the Rome Statute? canlii.org/en/ca/laws/sta…

Governments are already immune from liability for policy decisions. An order to remove bike lanes would be a policy decision. So, I'm not sure how much of a difference this makes.

Noticing that a number of people I follow are moving to Threads and/or Bluesky. If #TOPoli could settle on a single alternative, that would be great. Also, where's the menswear guy going?

I don't see how this lawsuit is viable. Even if social media has harmed students, the social media companies don't owe school boards a duty of care. And how have the boards (as opposed to the students) been harmed? thestar.com/politics/provi…

If Ontario's carbon emission targets have to comply with the Charter, why not government decisions on bike lane construction? thestar.com/news/olivia-ch…

Bloor Street, Nov. 4, 8:45am. Where is the congestion that @fordnation @PrabSarkaria are making a provincial election issue?

How can the CBC predict that the NDP will form government without knowing what the Greens will do if the NDP don't win a majority of the seats?

That's the thing about removing the bike lane. It would just mean parked cars have a more spacious curb lane. You'd still only have one driving lane in each direction for 20 hours every day.

If you think Toronto city council lacks a mandate to build bike lanes because voter turnout for the last municipal election was below 50%, wait until you see what turnout was for the last provincial election.

"All of the evidence we’re seeing tells a very compelling story – bike lanes are good for business, they improve safety for all road users, and reduce congestion." Businesses on Bloor Street @BloorAnnexBIA , where @fordnation wants to eliminate bike lanes.
