The thing that gets me the most in this bill to circumvent renters' security and rent controls is the whinging excuse of mom-and-pop landlords trying to pay the mortgage.
They took the risk on that property. They are not owed the ability to always make a profit.

Doug Ford government proposes to allow tenant evictions when leases are up in new bill
Currently, tenants are protected from eviction unless there is a legal reason — such as unpaid rent or the landlord wants to move in — even after their lease expires.

So Canada poured our money into this American corporation because they promised to make jobs, and now they are taking away jobs, and we think a judge is going to stop them? Pathetic.

Twitter is owned by a neo-Nazi, the LA Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal are owned by pro-Trump billionaires, and CBS News will soon be run by a far-right Likud extremist. American media still has a liberal bias problem.

If cabinet is hoping the guy who wrote the fascist playbook will give advice on stopping fascism then we are in trouble.
Adorno reminds us that clever people were the first to be suckered by the fascist playbook because they thought they could outsmart it.
There is nothing hidden in their plan.

I had extremely low expectations for Carney since the beginning, but he’s quickly managed to be worse than I could have imagined.

51 people were killed by Israel today. No statements of international condemnation from every world leader. No "violence is never the answer".
The forced starvation of millions of people just continues.

I spoke with Prime Minister Albanese over the phone this morning about strengthening Canada and Australia’s trade and defence relationship.
Against tariffs and a shifting global economy, Canada is working with reliable allies to build lasting and resilient ties.

While the President may not value the partnerships that contribute billions of dollars to our economy, Minnesota does.

Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness."
Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵
