#BREAKING: Today, I am announcing the Ontario NDP's Fans First plan: ban ticket resale above face value. If a ticket says $100, fans should pay $100. Not a cent more.
If Ford votes this down, fans will know exactly who to blame.

Here's my message to MAGA ambassador Pete Hoekstra.
He gaslights our nation, blames Canadians for being mean to the US. He accuses of us being anti-American.
He says we are mean and nasty and doesn't like us saying Elbows Up.
Too bad Pete. We are proud anti-fascists

This is the lesson that Europeans learned too late in the 1930s.

Even if the politicians are silent
Even if the doctors are being killed
Even if there is no group for you to join
Even if you feel helpless
Even if people think you are crazy
You can still do something.
