After we published a story, saying Ontario is wavering in its support for the high speed rail project Alto, 11 Eastern Ontario MPPs issued the following statement:

One of those perfect Mike Judge moments in Office Space was depicting office workers trudging through a ditch to go from their workplace to the restaurant next door, because the environment was so hostile to pedestrians and car-oriented.
I used to work in a building that looked exactly like this, and soon learned it was designed with no thought to its surroundings. It had no sidewalk connections or crosswalks despite nearby bus stops and restaurants. To walk to lunch I had to hop through a ditch just like this one. A cluster of empty buildings surrounded by vast deserts of hot parking lots.
And yet, kinda awesome.
Keystone XL certainly faced opposition in Canada, but what killed it was the U.S. government under Obama and then Biden. This is not particularly controversial. The only part of it that did get built was almost entirely in Canada.
Canada had 20 years to integrate its God-given oil and natural gas with the U.S.—its closest ally—through projects like Keystone.
Instead, it chose virtue signaling over national interest, punished its own producers, and normalized ~65% effective tax burdens.
Now the U.S. will source the oil it needs elsewhere.
This is what elite-driven, anti-growth policy looks like in practice: self-imposed impoverishment.

Patrick Searle to lead the CCI after Benjamin Bergen’s departure; one of Searle’s priorities as CEO will be to press Ottawa for a response to the U.S. government’s new national security strategy.

"On-time bus performance continues to struggle for OC Transpo" is just a fascinating bit of syntax.
Different governments, very different sized economies, etc., but the U.S. *deficit* this year is more than Canada’s entire national debt.

Insanely cool thing to do.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. GETS IT.

The abrupt increase is because of large settlements in major litigation over past abuses. These get booked all at once for accounting purposes, though they’ll be paid over years and are not permanent ongoing expenses.

Reporters got key messages + comms docs Monday at 11. Six hours later, the staff report was posted. Lansdowne reports and the waterfall are complicated, and take hours to read. You need to know the file (as I do).
Here are the figures: cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/la… #ottnews #ottcity
A very large drug submarine "loaded up with mostly fentanyl," enough to kill 25,000 people.
The DEA says a kilo of fentanyl could kill 500,000: dea.gov/resources/facts-abou…
So using those numbers, we're talking about 1/20 of a kilo. Fifty grams.
The math doesn't math.

The @WeAreTheDead projects is coming to an end. The account has been tweeting the names of Canadian fallen since 2011. After more than 119,000 hourly posts, the account will send out the final name on the list of our war dead at 4 p.m. tomorrow.
This is deeply messed-up framing.
Pope Leo has reportedly escalated his growing feud with Trump, instructing U.S. bishops to take a stronger public stand against the president’s hardline immigration policies.
