The #DougFord government has kept a grim report about climate change in #Ontario hidden for 8 months.
The report highlighted that Ontario's $45-billion agriculture sector is particularly vulnerable to the effects of extreme weather.

We now have the following national governments with a Mastodon server:
- Germany: https://social.bund.de
- The Netherlands: https://social.overheid.nl
- Switzerland: https://social.admin.ch
As well as the EU with
- https://social.network.europa.ec
Let's hope that other countries will follow this design pattern, and all launch a fediverse server at social.[governmentwebsite].[TLD]. Following this pattern makes it immediately clear to people they are communicating with an official government account.
Really tired of "we must adapt to this new reality" takes in response to horrible people doing preventable things.
Fuck that.
Make anti-vaxxers adapt to 20th century medicine. Make selfish people adapt to living in a society. Make billionaires adapt to paying their fair share. Make climate deniers adapt to science. Make conspiracy theorists adapt to reality. Make fascists adapt to getting punched in the face.
The rest of us aren't the ones who need to be "adapting."
Once more: fuck that.

Peel District School Board is firing 500 EAs after *checks notes* Ford and Lecce have spent millions advertising how they're investing historic levels of funding for new staff across the province. #fraudfest #onted #ontario #onpoli #dougford #stephenlecce
So what to make of Sutcliffe riding on the tails of this rare tragedy, to call for an increase to the police budget while starving social spending through limits on taxation?
How are police even relevant to this conversation? Would more police have spared that wedding? Prevent kids from being lured into gangs? Given them better opportunities? Stable shelter? Education? Safety? It's delusional.
The actual solutions lie in social programs not jackboots.
