Enough is enough. “Douglas” and I are sick of AI slop poisoning the local discourse.
It’s time to restore some integrity to the TO election.

wow. the guy, Halli, that Elon Musk has been mocking is not only a class act, but was literally on a list of "do not fire" VIPs because of how expensive his exit package was (likely because, if what Halli's other tweets say are true, Twitter acquired his company for a good price)

In one case, they were driving 70 in a 40 zone. On average, they were 17 over the limit. #OnPoli

One of the strangest protests I’ve been to.
There is a plan to counter protest an anti-immigration group at Christie Pits this weekend; a peaceful demonstration using picnic blankets. If you’re going please keep an eye on how today may escalate rhetoric, emotion, and action. I worry it will even more charged than before.

In 1933, Jewish and Italian-Canadian youth actively fought against fascists in what we now call The Christie Pits Riot. In 1938 Mussolini enacted the Racial Laws, targeting primarily Italian Jews and African inhabitants of his empire. Do you think Meloni reflects Canadian values?
Disgusting antisemitic protestors swarmed, threatened and assaulted members of the Italian-Canadian community at an official event last night at the AGO in downtown Toronto.
