Look at these cowardly masked thugs.

I am baffled that anyone visits the US these days if they don't have to.

"Toronto’s civic heart is neither lost nor broken. It’s simply waiting for a pulse."
As always, @alexbozikovic.bsky.social is on the money. Where's the long-term vision for Toronto's main gathering space? Why do we ALWAYS cheap out?

Two years later, top Tories who lost jobs in Greenbelt scandal still haven’t been interviewed by RCMP

Royal Canadian Mounted Police officials were tight-lipped when contacted about the second anniversary of launching their criminal inquiry.

Oh believe me, we've been watching and learning since 2016. Canada is in a precarious position. I am heartened by all the brave Americans speaking out. It's inspiring!

Here's another for "the media is not covering the Ford gov't's scandals"

NEW: David Piccini, the minister whose office picks Skills Development Fund recipients, was in Paris this weekend at the wedding of a lobbyist whose clients received millions from that fund.
