RE: https://mastodon.world/@TrueNorthSpice/116697734128645346 It was brought to my attention that my post has the appearance of slamming the present mayor, and that was not my intent. (as Torontonians are aware J. Tory signed the FIFA tickets agreement) My point is this, even at at a municipal level it's important to be active in politics or our tax dollars add to this sort of pandering to the wealthiest when our money should go worthy causes.#Cdnpoli #Toronto #Onpoli

@TrueNorthSpice @crispius This might actually be a case were "and get ______ to pay for it" might actually be true; there are billions of people who'd probably be willing to throw a buck or two towards a fully sealed dome over the WH

@crispius Pretty accurate.

Unique but effective solutionRegretful cities aren't sure how to cancel their surveillance contracts, so they are literally covering their cameras The city of Dayton, Ohio has covered its Flock automated license plate reader cameras with black trash bags in part because police there are unsure whether the cameras are still active and the city also doesn’t seem to know whether it is allowed to take the cameras down#Flock #Surveilance#Privacy #USA #Resist https://www.404media.co/cities-are-covering-flock-cameras-with-trash-bags/

The Tories tried to add an income-tax cut to the bill, but were outvoted by the NDP majority. The Tory plan would have cost the province important revenue and could have led to a downgrade by credit-rating agencies, Sala said.The bill that passed early Friday also implements other measures promised in the budget, such as increases to tax credits for homeowners and renters.#Manitoba #Canpoli https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/business/2026/05/29/bill-to-cut-tax-on-some-food-in-manitoba-passes-after-long-nights-of-debate

@TrueNorthSpice This government is so inept. Palantir will just get in, take our data, and then sell it to the US gov't.

@TrueNorthSpice I see #CIBC is involved with stealing our data for Palantir, so we can let CIBC know our distain by closing accounts and cutting up CIBC Mastercards...

@TrueNorthSpiceProbably will. In true Canadian style I had to let out the quasi sarcasm. Thanks for the post.

@TrueNorthSpice If I ever own my own house again, I want to rewild the yard. It makes so much more sense than maintaining grass coverage.
