Meet @shelaghpa (@ttcriders), the transit advocate who’s trying to get Toronto back on track — by Gideon Forman (@DavidSuzukiFDN) #topoli tvo.org/article/meet-t…
🕯️'Where else should I die but here?' - Remembering Sivaram 19 years on Today marks the 19th anniversary since the abduction and murder of Tamil journalist Dharmeratnam Sivaram. Sivaram, popularly known under his nom-de-plume Taraki, was abducted in front of Bambalipitiya…
Last night's assault left me with more than just a bruise. It's disheartening to witness the dangers faced by anyone who dares to speak out and expose our government's complicity in this genocide, like the ones our students in campuses face every day. But as painful as this…
I'll be there in support. Every single one of us must work together to challenge this racist Keffiyeh ban. @fordnation move a motion, collect your people and reverse this ban. You can force community out of the building, but you can't silence us all. Ball is in your court.

Umar Zameer lost his job, house and friends and for nearly three years, he lived with the stigma of being a “cop killer.” That was until Sunday, when a jury cleared his name and a Toronto judge addressed him directly — to apologize. trib.al/A034nXa
This protest at Columbia in Hindi has been posted across platforms as a “sinister” display. Here is the actual translation of what she’s saying: “What do we want?” (Freedom) “What do we want?” (Freedom) “Palestine’s” (Freedom) “Palestine’s” (Freedom) “We will grab it” (Freedom)…
If you're in #Scarborough and want your bike or appliances fixed for free. I have a hack! Come by the East Scarborough Store Front this Saturday between 12:30 PM & 4:30 PM to get them fixed for FREE! Please share with anyone you know in the area!

EXCLUSIVE w/@BenSpurr: The workplace investigation into TTC CEO Rick Leary that has dragged on for more than five months includes allegations he violated employees’ human rights and tried to land jobs for his friends, among other claims @TorontoStar thestar.com/news/gta/docum…
Tomorrow, the #TTC Board will review proposed policies guiding use of force and body-worn cameras by Special Constables and Fare Inspectors. A massive oversight is the lack of consultation with unhoused people or homelessness services, which I will begin to address.
Sending love to all who defend & exercise the right to protest today & every day! While we’ve heard from many people that they are scared to attend Palestinian protests in our city because of heavy police presence, Freedom of Expression & Assembly are protected Charter rights.

#TTC advocacy group calls for auditor general to probe Line 3 Scarborough RT train derailment via @nickwestoll toronto.citynews.ca/2024/04/03/ttc…
Happy I was able to voice Scarboroughs concerns around the RT derailment and the auditor general takes this investigation seriously.

There needs to be consequences for those responsible for this IDF attack on humanitarian workers. The world cannot look away. This will lead to more famine and hunger in Gaza. Cease fire now. Unimpeded aid. Release hostages and prisoners.

Eric Adams not only revived police units that were disbanded in 2020 for their disproportionate abuse against Black and brown New Yorkers, he revived stop and frisk. Since he became mayor, 97% of all stops and searches have been on Black and Latino New Yorkers.

The #NDP motion is far from perfect, but we need to see what’s significant about it and seize on the openings that now exist – which only became possible because of months of organizing and mobilizing. #freepalestine #gaza #ceasefirenow #hoc #canpoli springmag.ca/the-ndps-pales…

I'm no international war crimes expert, but it seems to me that, 'We didn't dig the mass graves, we only killed enough people to fill them and destroyed all the nearby cemeteries,' is not the defence some people appear to think it is.
Such a great profile of the amazing @shelaghpa and her work organizing for a more fair and connected city. 🚇🙌🏼

Who is this journalist? Some great questioning here by him, especially the question on the missing Bond-villain Hamas lair under Al Shifa that Israel claimed was there, & produced 3D renderings of, but have never actually showed us in real life. Bravo, for this interviewer 👏🏽👇🏽
Beautiful display of journalism. Please watch this absolute gem of an interview. This is what happens when there’s pushback. Zionists become flustered and cry about the line of questioning because they can’t answer the questions.

she literally cheered for airstrikes on women in gаza and you’re still acting like she’s a feminist icon ??
Will Congress hold investigations into this? Will Speaker Mike Johnson condemn this? Will the national media have a massive moral panic about this? I think we all know the answer.
@EricDLombardi Maybe I'm just a second generation immigrant but I don't know anyone who knows a cottage? I thought that was for the wealthy.
I've got to commend @Metrolinx for doing the right thing & adding bike coaches to GO train routes that were overcrowded w/ bikes. If only @VIA_Rail would allow customers to travel w/ bikes in luggage cars after a 4-year ban... CC Ministers @PrabSarkaria & @pablorodriguez
Kitchener go line at 10:30am today. Gig workers are travelling far and making good use of the bike coaches. They are working hard to make ends meet during a cost of living crisis. More bike coaches and less punitive measures is the right approach to people just trying to survive
At Northwestern: average Karen tried to walk her dog through the encampment & called the police although she was there voluntarily & was always FREE TO LEAVE. She clearly weaponizes her Jewish identity to make a mockery of actual victims of antisemitism. NUPD told her to leave.

Robert Kraft, the billionaire who offered to pay to destroy video evidence of himself allegedly paying for massage parlor sex, believes we need "accountability" for tenured faculty.
@gregbradyTO I dont think I would have been wrong. Is April 2024 colder than April 2019? I doubt that it is but I will look. Unless you are only talking about Toronto?
@gregbradyTO Weather patterns of 1938 or 2034 are climatic differences though not weather. Toronto is one locality, betting that Toronto's seasonal averages on any given day will be lower than 1938 in 2034 wouldnt be a bet I would take and it would be irrelevant to the global situation
@gregbradyTO there will be more heat records set than cold ones. We are pushing +1.5C right now and easily headed to +3C globally. We are actually above that for Canada
@gregbradyTO the heat content of the planet will go up as CO2 up, yes. It will be hotter in April 2034 than in April 2024, yes. Will it be hotter on any given day in any given place, yes again. That does not mean that everyplace is going to be setting heat records for single days, but 1/2
@gregbradyTO short range weather forecasts are in fact harder to predict than long range. Climate is not, its how I know I wont need my snowblower in the summer but will instead need my lawnmower
the entitlement of zionists is amazing, she voluntarily goes to the student encampment with the goal of cutting pro-genocide propaganda under the guise of "just asking qs", the student don't take the bait, so she cries about how scared she is because they won't give her content
