“I take no delight in this sad spectacle, playing out in a building that two years ago was a crime scene. While that violent episode ended on Jan. 6, 2021, some of that day’s elected insurrectionists are still free, still mouthing off, still convinced their true president’s divine right was stolen (forget the facts), still trying their damnedest to destroy the government.”

The House of Representatives has reached this part of the IKEA instructions on how to pick a Speaker. #speakerofthehouse
Lately I've feeling like I've been duped for buying an EV. Like, I love the car and everything, but I fell into the trap of making myself feel better about my impact on the climate by going electric. Electric cars aren't the magic solution to climate change. We should be building electric trains and other mass transit, not EVs
Ok. This is undoubtedly a stupid and naïve question. But is there no compromise candidate the more moderate #Republicans could put up for #Speaker instead? One who might pull a dozen or more votes from conservative or centrist #Democrats? I know. I’m being silly. But surely this process is even sillier? I’m just a Canadian senator. I need an #American guide on this. #Congress #McCarthy #GOP

Oh. A few mins into today's ride came across a person writhing in the middle of an intersection. Motorists honking at them. I entered the intersection and tried to help them off the road but they refused. I called 211, the city's crisis hotline. Recording said they had a higher than normal call volume then I was disconnected. But the cops who won't assist in these types of situations got 50 million slapped onto their 1.1 billion budget. John Tory's Toronto. #TOPoli
