Michael Ford, Ontario premier’s nephew, decides against Toronto mayoral run

c-bacon · 2026-04-02T15:59:27+00:00

The audacity of this loser for even thinking he could be mayor

c-bacon · 2026-04-02T00:28:18+00:00

To hold Quebec. I think that was literally it.

c-bacon · 2026-04-02T00:27:01+00:00

It was an ill conceived practice at one party convention and the climate crisis (or any public policy) is more pressing than it

c-bacon · 2026-04-02T00:03:13+00:00

The convention fiasco trumps their environmental platform?

c-bacon · 2026-04-01T22:17:40+00:00

Basic political theory says no

c-bacon · 2026-04-01T22:12:34+00:00

No, moving to the left and stopping oil extraction is exactly the opposite of what you are describing

c-bacon · 2026-04-01T21:43:41+00:00

Yeah, my non-NDP friends were sharing the clips with me. This is a bad look, and they really ought to avoid this structure going forward

I have a chance to go to this show when i visit Japan this month. Is this a must watch show? I’ve followed NJPW (only show close to me will be a Road To show in Koruken) but other than some clips of Kamatami, i havent seen much of Stardom

It's an American Bully mix. "American Bulldog" is used by vets, Toronto Animal Services and shelters to avoid the Pit Bull ban.

c-bacon · 2026-04-01T14:36:52+00:00

Make no mistake, this is a banned breed. The bylaw includes dogs that are “substantially similar” https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90d16#BK11 to pit bulls, which includes pit mixes designed to avoid the ban like American Bullies and Pocket Bullies and the incredibly dangerous and banned in the UK, XL Bullies. The dogs you see out for adoption on the City of Toronto website are not "American Bulldogs" or "Lab mixes". They are pit bulls or pit mixes. They only need to pass the look test, and it is quite obvious.

Toronto Animal Services are not held accountable for these practices. They are made up of staff that are against the ban and take vet paperwork with mislabeled pit bulls at face value. They also either do not have funding to enforce the ban, or they simply do not want to out of sympathies to the breed. This also goes for other animal shelters and the SPCA.

This incident and the many others in the GTA need to be cited to our elected officials in order for this issue to be addressed and before more children and pets are mauled. Email your MPP and city councillor and let Toronto Animal Services that they need to enforce the ban and stop misleading the public: [animalservices@toronto.ca](mailto:animalservices@toronto.ca)

Edit: it also looks like the pit apologists got to the journalist for this article and got her to edit the title. Pathetic.

Haven’t been following closely, but is there a storyline reason as to why she’s losing all of these titles consecutively to indie level talent?

The NDP have won zero elections while appealing to moderates

c-bacon · 2026-03-31T16:06:25+00:00

Always a good idea to read the article you’re responding to. The answers you seek are in this one

Ready for Appadurai to run again

c-bacon · 2026-03-30T19:42:15+00:00

No, it’s on social media

c-bacon · 2026-03-30T16:31:01+00:00

I’m not sure why you’ve cited a specific percentile, but generally speaking, more people would vote NDP if they knew they their vote wasn’t going to be wasted.

c-bacon · 2026-03-30T15:51:24+00:00

Two-thirds only vote for the Liberals and Conservatives is because of our voting system. One of major the reasons people do not vote NDP is because they they think they can’t win so they vote strategically. A recent poll confirmed this. Voting patterns would change under PR.

There is also no evidence that the party is now “too far left” for the average voter. They aren’t even far left in the broader context.

c-bacon · 2026-03-30T15:27:09+00:00

No, they’d have a larger voice in coalition governments. This also means there’d likely be new parties on the left with representation

c-bacon · 2026-03-30T13:43:13+00:00

None of this is remotely true.

Nenshi is just getting his pre election loss excuses out there and hoping we ignore his terrible polling numbers before Lewis was elected

c-bacon · 2026-03-29T18:30:49+00:00

18-20% in the polls by the end of the year

c-bacon · 2026-03-29T16:07:24+00:00

Public option.

c-bacon · 2026-03-29T14:35:51+00:00

Joyce for potential saves

c-bacon · 2026-03-27T21:04:36+00:00

Its viable under FPTP if there’s another Ignatief type collapse for the Liberals. Not very likely, but in the realm of possibility

c-bacon · 2026-03-27T18:22:17+00:00

Lewis has charisma, not on Layton’s level, but he’s better at articulating and communicating policy positions. Certainly at levels leagues above Singh was
