The Ford government has been in power for seven and a half years.

How is Ontario doing? The numbers tell the story.

Next time someone says they don’t have to apologize for being white anymore, ask them to tell about the most recent time they were forced to apologize for being white and who made them do it.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Cancellations, shortages, fear, hardship—we’re already feeling the effects of the Trump regime’s nativist, anti-immigrant policies, and they’re just getting started.

What can a similar crackdown in the 1920s tell us about what the future might hold?

Oh my Canadian friends…. Please stop coming here until this insanity is over. Don’t come for vacation, groceries, shopping, business, or even a layover in an airport. Most of us love you all dearly. But until we can stop this insanity, we are not a safe place for you to come. It isn’t you. It is 🍊💩
New U.S. border rule just dropped! Canadians now get photographed EVERY time they enter and exit the U.S. land, air, sea.

✔️ Includes children
✔️ Photos stored for life
✔️ No opt-out

Driving over for the day? You’re still getting scanned.

This message is also WRONG.

The 60 Minutes segment was streamed in Canada not because of some Canadian righteousness but rather simply because Bari Weiss fucked up and forget to alert Global.

There is ZERO doubt that had she ordered Global to cut the segment, it would have.
This message hits hard.

Trump ordered airstrikes on ISIS targets in Nigeria, claiming it was about protecting Christians.

But people on the ground say that narrative doesn’t match reality.

“In Jabo, we see Christians as our brothers. We don’t have religious conflicts, so we weren’t expecting this.”

This would be an excellent time for Ontario to have not stayed home while a clutch of spiral-eyed loonies voted in a folksy mobster with a grudge to settle against higher education.

But they did. And now we're ill-equipped to offer U.S.'s science refugees safe harbour.
