It is so important for legislation and the formation of ministries that cover evidence based care to be informed by evidence from experts. Utilizing experts ensures that public funds are maximized as well as the services paid for by those funds. #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli #Canada #Canadasky

My favourite part of this is that he is cutting democrat created programs that are by and large utilized by his republican base.

Fact checking the CPC and Poilievre is a full time job.

The fact that none of our news organizations do this is ridiculous.

There should be a ticker on every session of the HoC live that fact checks claims made.

The truth isn’t partisan. It’s the truth. Start telling it.

‘Radically antisemitic’ Ontario neo-Nazi pleads guilty to terror charges for making recruitment videos, inspiring global terror attacks

The publications remain online and have been cited in the manifestos of at least five people who committed acts of terrorism, prosecutors said in a Toronto court on Thursday.

Basically, this needs to be investigated further. If everyone who had to, declared a #pucuniaryinterest at the time of vendor selection, then there may not be much to really do. However, it's still ideal to ask questions and investigate. #ONPoli #DOFO #DougFord

If a government contract is awarded to a friend or family members company, the elected representative has to declare that conflict, and then abstain from the vote. If there are other people who share the same conflict, they also have to declare that. 2/ #ONPoli #DougFord #DOFO #ConflictofInterest

A #conflictofinterest for politicians means holding a #pecuniary interest in something or someone, with pecuniary meaning monetary. When it comes to legislation, if someone has a pecuniary interest, they must declare that conflict. 1/ #ONPoli #DougFord #DOFO #Canada

Unbeknownst to most or long forgotten is that on October 8 and October 10, 2023; Hamas offered the same deal that’s being pitched as Trump’s “Gaza Peace Deal” which would have handed all hostages over to Israel in exchange for Israeli troops not entering the strip, Netanyahu refused the proposal.

MAGA Alberta troll site begs Trump to ban me. Little wonder that MAGA Alberta looks to a foreign adversary for help.
I have been blacklisted by Putin, being banned by Trump would be a source of honour.
And I remain proudly Canadian - true, north, strong, free and never a quisling traitor.

Same in Ontario. After Bill 124 was overturned, union negotiations between the teachers #OTF and the #Ford government were marred by incessant referral to teachers as greedy. The same went for nurses under #ONA they slammed them us as greedy. Crickets though, with male dominated emergency services

A nice summation of scandals #DougFord has involvement in. The #speedcamera issue drives me insane because there is analysis that proves they work! Locally our #PC #MPP keeps sharing about speed cameras, in a region without them. Abjectly absurd. #ONPoli #CanadaSky

"Ford said elected provincial legislatures should not be blocked by unelected judges." #DOFO lived in the #US for several years. He likes that they elect judges there based on political affiliation. A judges politics should have zero bearing on the rule of law. #ONPoli #CDNPoli #CanadaSky #Canada

"Canada's possible "future downfall as a nation, should it ever come," will not be through invasion but "some future government who is empowered by an erosion of our rights today."" I agree with #SeanFraser that this should be sldecided by the courts. #CDNPoli #Canada
