Stop sanewashing a horrific invasion with selfish American-centric reasons. I’m trying to say this in the nicest way possible but this is one of the reasons the world despises the USA right now.
I see these types of comments constantly and it blows my mind that some Americans think this is reasonable and not a deeply offensive and ignorant thing to say.

Any American I see traveling in Canada without a MAGA hat will be welcomed by me with open arms. Canadians have a degree of empathy for what you’re dealing with because we feel threatened by the fascist takeover too.
Canadians and Americans who give a damn about respecting peoples’ dignity, no matter their gender or race, will stand in solidarity.

Many routes through the city are inaccessible via only side streets, and many destinations exist along arterials. His attempt to remove arterial bike routes would make many trips impossible or take significantly longer.

Doug Ford was a highschool hash dealer, didn’t go to university, inherited his dad’s company, then became a conservative politician. So it’s unsurprising that he sees no value in education.
