ford-lite lib says: @BonnieCrombie: Doug Ford has been looking to find any excuse to call an early election to get ahead of the RCMP investigation on his Greenbelt scandal.

This isn’t about Trump, this isn’t about tariffs, and it certainly isn’t about … https://t.co/5GTxmecdWw

Ontario Liberal Leader @BonnieCrombie joined @JimRichards1010 to discuss the possibility of Doug Ford calling an early election due to Donald Trump's tariff threats, and why she thinks it would be a reckless decision. Do you agree with her? 📷: THE CANADIAN PRESS/Chris Young

NPR’s data shows that they lost nothing after being ostracized by the psychotic white billionaire. It counters the idea that leaving Twitter is a loss. Let’s dismiss the idea that we need to be held hostage on any platform.

Six Months Ago NPR Left Twitter. The Effects Have Been Negligible | Nieman Reports

The numbers confirm what many of us have long suspected — that Twitter wasn’t worth the effort, at least in terms of traffic.

Video of Justin Trudeau calmly arguing down a Christian anti-choice activist is going viral, and deservedly so.

Happy Saturday from Kingston, Ontario Canada where we woke up to -31°C (not including wind chill) Will be +3C by tomorrow. Climate change is no joke. Kingston is only 2 hours east of Toronto so not exactly true North. How is it where you are?
So... Neil Young contracted polio as a child in the '50s.
He had to relearn how to walk, it left him permanently disabled and contributed to a serious anxiety disorder that he still deals with today.
He has epilepsy and so does his daughter.
He has 2 sons with cerebral palsy. The album TRANS was written as a way to communicate with one of them. He founded The Bridge School for kids with severe disabilities and still organizes annual benefit concerts for the school.
Neil Young understands post viral syndromes and disability better than most.
He understands public health and the importance of messaging, platforms and how they can be used to create good and to also cause harm.
In todays world, it's amazing to see someone with a huge platform use it to send such a loud and powerful message.
I have mad respect for this man and wanted to use my teeny tiny platform to shed light on some of the things that have shaped this good human who has provided the background music for so many of our lives ❤

Tea For The Tillerman by #YusufIslam was released on 23 November 1970. He drew the cover illustration himself.

Four songs from the album were prominently used in the wonderful 1971 film #HaroldAndMaude.
