  1. Local news, the #torontostar , erroneously lists the area between Wychwood and Christie. I know this is wrong because the festival is between Christie and WINONA, not Wychwood.

    If I don’t have access to twitter, where can I find official info? Maybe the Toronto police website?

  3. Mainstream Media Already Blaming Internet, Video Games for Montreal Shooting

    Mainstream media is already taking advantage of real world tragedy to push their anti-tech agenda. Video games are being blamed.

  5. I truly hate the old school financial model of newspapers.. but i still find it important to subscribe to one.

    Toronto Star is $27 per month on a normal price... but then you call and it's $5 per month.

    Just have to do that dance every year and say you are cancelling and surprise, you got a new price

  7. That's from the #TorontoStar, as reported by #AlthiaRaj archive.is/tJh7H#selection-435

    I'm not convinced it will be so bad, personally. It should be entirely possible to speed up environmental reviews of projects in Canada.

    That said, if #StevenGuilbeault objects to current government policies, he could always leave caucus.

  12. #torontostar

    Canceling my Toronto Star subscription. Just don't have time to read it right now.

    Went to cancel my subscription, and didn't see a cancel button. I luckily waited a few seconds and it magically appeared.

    I reloaded the page and the button appears exactly six seconds after the page load finishes. Tested again in a different browser, and on a different PC.

    Anybody else seeing this?
    That is some shady behavior.

  13. I think I can see why nobody wants to subscribe to newspapers any more.

    The incremental cost to them of gaining my business would be very close to zero. They could charge me a dollar a year and still make money.

  15. NP View: The federal NDP needs Wab Kinew

    To be sure, expecting the #NDP to take advice from the #NationalPost is like expecting Tories to take advice from the #TorontoStar.

  17. Opinion | I once embraced the #Zionist dream. Now I’m protesting the #genocide in Gaza on the streets of #Toronto

    "When I knew I had to do something, anything, about the war crimes in #Gaza (I was haunted by my lifelong grief and outrage that no-one, no-one, no-one stood up for us when we were being annihilated in Europe) I was immediately attacked online by right-wing Jews. The usual condescending reproaches and violent insults were trotted out: I was giving aid to our enemies; I was spreading a “blood libel”; I was a #Jew-hater; I was “pro-rape”. None of these insults could touch me because I knew how ludicrously false they were. As painful as it is to lose cherished friends, I asked myself: Is this intense social pressure why so very few Germans stood up against the Nazis?"

  19. Trump’s golden age of stupid is Canada’s chance to be smart - #TorontoStar
    thestar.com/politics/federal/d

    I love the headline, but the opinion from Bruce Arthur has a very serious part 📸.
    It is in the same line of the words of VonderLeyen. We can do this without the US. Not only on trade, but also on the 2030 climate targets. With the US out of the picture, there are agreements possible the US (with Trump) won't meet.

  21. @Trillium The #TorontoStar is a #Postmedia publication, founded by Anthony Melchiorre with a large foothold in newspapers and tabloids & known for its close ties to Republicans. It controls what we read and is not interested in advocating for Canadians nor in positioning political issues accurately. There’ll always be that far-right slant. So are we surprised they referred to #PMJT and his legacy as “ the rise and fall of Justin Trudeau”. Not his accomplishments & successes

  23. Maybe the #TorontoStar is listening:

    "We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the current process for canceling subscriptions. We appreciate your feedback and would like to inform you that the feature to cancel subscriptions online is currently under development and will be implemented in the coming months."

    I wonder how many people have told them they won't #subscribe until they do this.

  24. The #TorontoStar has officially adopted #FourthEstateFilth in its reporting. What an asinine, disloyal and pathetic headline it is publishing. The role of media used to be to advocate for citizens and position, political issues, factually and accurately. The #TorontoStar has no legitimacy. thestar.com/opinion/star-colum

  26. Toronto Star article says Ontario's Transportation Minister Buffoon tells cyclists to stay off the road where they propose to remove bike lanes. Furthermore, will ban cyclists from suing the province. Waiting for Doug Ford to tell pedestrians to avoid same streets because they slow cars down. WTF

  28. Why doesn’t #cdnmedia call out Pierre Poilievre on his refusal to submit to national security clearance? Passing security clearance should be made law for any incumbent Prime Minister.

    Are Canadian Media groups covering up the foreign interference that strives to destroy our democracy and elect a populist foreign agent simply because it suits their interests?

    Is Right Wing Canadian Media complicit in handing our country to a foreign owned puppet like Pierre Poilievre?

    Without #securityclearance Pierre Poilievre will never be a trusted, legitimate Prime Minister. Those informed on his clandestine support will always see him as a foreign backed agent much like Trump and Musk.

    Canadians WILL fight back against foreign ownership of our Political Parties and Politicians even if #CdnMediaFail. Democracy itself is flawed if this is allowed to happen.

    Pierre Poilievre needs to prove his legitimacy if he truly intends to lead Canada, otherwise he’s just misleading us.

  34. CW: canpoli, transphobia

    Rosie DiManno of the Toronto Star once again turning a discussion about conservatives successfully banning queer books into endorsing and apologizing for transphobia.

    she just can't help herself. every single discussion has to be about how trans people are evil and oppressive, including ones where trans people are victimized. thinly-veiled crypto-TERF. #canpoli #torontostar #topoli

  36. My laugh of the day; I am a Toronto Star online subscriber, and got a mass mailing from the editor-in-chief this morning about some new features. It was a 700+ word single paragraph wall of text. (Click on hte image for the full effect, but I don't recommend you attempt reading it.)

    Remember when media companies took pride in how they communicated? (Ya, I'm old.) #TorontoStar
