I moved into a condo in the spring. It is a seniors' condo. They are very community minded. Today, I saw how they honour Canada's veterans and those who died in wars. I love these people. I am glad to call this, and Canada, home.

Congratulations to the Netherlands for showing authoritarianism the door!

It can be done - Wilders' far-right party just lost 12 seats in their 150 seat House of Representatives, leaving them only 25.

I agree with Claus. If any other country was doing this to Canada,we'd be pissed. It should be their US representatives telling their US people that tariffs are not good for their country.

HAUDENOSAUNEE THANKSGIVING ADDRESS Ohén: ton Karihwatéhkwen Listen all people, here, for a while as we pass through the words that come before all other matters. We put our minds together and now let our minds be that way. We give thanks to the people. We give thanks to our mother, the Earth. We give thanks to all the waters. We give thanks to the fish. We give thanks to the plants. We give thanks to the roots. We give thanks to the medicines. We give thanks to the life sustainers (plant foods). We give thanks to the fruits. We give thanks to the animals. We give thanks to the trees. We give thanks to the birds. We give thanks to the insects. We give thanks to the thunder beings, our grandfathers. We give thanks to the four winds. We give thanks to our elder brother, the Sun. We give thanks to the stars. We give thanks to the Creator. Now then, that is how far we have gone with our words. If there is anything that has been forgotten to be mentioned, you can add to it now. Now we have opened the day. Let our minds be that way. Those are all of the words.

The Trillium is hammering this story.

"Months before he was put in charge of Ontario’s Ministry of Labour, cabinet minister David Piccini was at a Toronto Maple Leafs game in front-row seats with a director of a company his office would later give $7.5 million in taxpayer-funded grants to. #OnPoli
Labour minister was in Leafs glass seats with director of company he granted funding to
The ‘lower-scoring’ company got $7.5M of tax dollars through David Piccini’s office and is a client of the lobbyist whose Parisian wedding the minister recently attended

“Clients of a single firm — Rubicon Strategy — have received more than $100 million from the Skills Development Fund (SDF)…

Rubicon is owned by Kory Teneycke, the premier’s campaign manager.”

Now waiting for Doug to say he’s not a micromanager and has never met his campaign manager.

NEW: Clients of lobby firms connected to the premier and his nephew were given tens of millions from the Skills Development Fund.

Clients of Rubicon — a lobbying firm owned by the premier’s campaign manager — got more than $100M, records show.

This person should have received a longer prison sentence. At his age, I doubt he will change his opinion but hopefully he will stop spreading his hatred.
