Doug Ford is being investigated for corruption by the Auditor
Add this to the Therme nightmare, the Science Centre, no jobs, no housing, no $$ for health or housing and now rumours that his obsession with speed cameras is because his daughter got caught by them too many times?

Canadians! If you want warmth in winter don’t go to the USA! There are 100s of other possibilities that won’t go through your phone, target you for being LGBTQ or arrest you as a person of colour. SAY NO! DON’T GO! They’re feeling it….

You can decry political violence without celebrating someone who called for the death of Biden and LGBTQ! Words of political violence.

Thanks be to those women who protested!

Alberta yet again stands against Canada!!

Incredibly brave. Someone dressed as a handmaid from "The Handmaid's Tale" showed up to the bullshit vigil for Charlie Kirk at the Legislature last night, alone.

MAGA in Canada?? Extremism a reason to postpone Pride? If law enforcement can’t keep #LGBTQ safe it’s not law enforcement

Heard at presser re Kirk’s killing: “Much aa we wish it was a migrant or Muslim unfortunately it was one of us…” which pretty much says it all about US law enforcement

In what way is Ford Mr.Canada as our unemployment soars and all our essential services are underfunded?

Of course he’s a right-wing Republican Mormon! No problem chances are MAGA will still increase repression of progressives

Since Ford:
-bigger badder deficits now by $105 Billion
- worse funding for education
-worse funding for healthcare
- worse job numbers
-worse housing starts

Why is anyone still voting for him?

Keep US liquor off our shelves. The whole point is getting a reaction from their producers so they’ll pressure Trump.

Support Canadian products. We have lots of our own producers to support

Those who refuse to critique their own political party or leader are at best guilty of dishonesty and at worst authoritarian.

Beware the trap….

Please Mark Carney explain so the average Canadian gets it - why dropping our tariffs and getting nothing in return from Trump is a good thing?

And why PostMedia (Trump Maple MAGA) all of a sudden likes you?

If you’re counting on CUSMA going on forever…. ? Why?

Why has mainstream press been all about inconveniences for passengers and not not the mainly female work force working multiple hours without pay?

And not them being forced to work with no bargaining!!???

Trump saying he’ll allow Putin mineral mining in Alaska should terrify every Canadian! And I haven’t heard the Indigenous outrage yet…

Folk complaining about not being able to walk in woods that may burst into flame are like 2 year olds who left alone play in traffic, burn themselves etc.
I guess parental “overreach” is looking after the safety of those you care for….
