Canadian. Care about good people everywhere. Protect pillars of democracy. Evidence based public policy. Human rights are for everyone. Have courage early to speak and act peacefully. Use tech for good. Posts are my considered personal opinion. #CdnPoli

Homelessness will dramatically increase in Toronto over the winter, primarily because of provincial and federal funding cuts. Because of this, Toronto's Warming Centres will not be able to meet the need.

250 MILLION people displaced in a world approaching 1.4C above pre-industrial temperatures.

We’re on track for…
2C in years.
3C in decades.
4C likely in our children’s lifetimes.

When scientists warn of BILLIONS of deaths they’re not kidding.

UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status.

This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.

How confident are US importers in the holiday shopping season and beyond?

Let’s just say inbound container units are expected to be DOWN 14.4% this month — and 17.9% next month.

Losing #measles elimination status as predicted is the result of vaccines being a victim of their incredible success. It quite sad that people will need to experience the suffering inflicted by an infection like measles in order to remember why elimination was remains something to strive for.
As expected, Canada has lost its measles-free status because of the long-running outbreak there. With it goes the #measles elimination status of the entire zone of the Americas, the only division of the #WHO to ever have achieved measles elimination. www.statnews.com/2025/11/10/m...

If our Premier doesn’t do the right thing and holds a vote in the #AbLeg, there may be a referendum. We won this battle, but bigger one may be ahead.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.

When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

If there’s one thing I learned about horrible people— they’re not gone until they’re gone.

No Trump complacency on Poilievre— until this guy is completely out of the game entirely, don’t give an inch. Horrible people depend on short memories.

Dodgers fans donated $30000 to Toronto’s Sick Kids Hospital. What a lovely gesture - reading this story really warmed my heart. Thank you Dodgers fans! Sending you all a BIG hug from Canada. @dodgersdigest.bsky.social @dodgersnation.bsky.social
‘I hope this becomes a lasting tradition.’ Dodgers fans ease Blue Jays’ World Series loss with $30,000 in donations to SickKids
Many fans donated $51 as a tribute to the Blue Jays relievers who put the number 51 on their caps to pay respects to L.A. pitcher Alex Vesia.

I think Andrew is right.
My hot take is politicians leaving their parties after getting elected is good for democracy. I don’t care if they go indie, cross the floor, or start a new party. Anything to drive home the fact we elect individuals, not parties, even if we don’t act like it

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

I don't think people realize how much a trillion dollars is.

Let's say you get paid a million dollars per day. That's a lot, right?

If you spend none of it and pay no taxes, you'll have a trillion dollars in approximately two thousand seven hundred (2700) YEARS.

No one should have that much.

This is the way a good community and decent people act.
I want my kids to see that our family stands for community. When they grow up, I want them to be proud that we walked a scared classmate and her family to the bus stop after school; proud that we packed whistle kits; that we fight to be better and build a better world.

Be a neighbor, not a jagoff
