Google, Home Depot, Nissan, Adidas and Clorox have announced their plans to abandon funding for Pride Toronto.
“These are American companies and they are showing their true colours,” says Pride head Kojo Modeste.
Hey, it’s their money but they won’t be getting mine and I have a *long* memory 👎🏼

My fb feed is full of ads from Conservative front groups ridiculing Canadians standing up to Trump.
When I tried to purchase an ad taking on Pierre Poilievre FB said it didn't mean their community "standards."
We know which side they are on. Please share this clip.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

The firm Stantec has been named. Put them on the shelf with Diamond Schmitt & Urban Strategies as corporate citizens who’ll take the cash to destroy part of the city (and here put lives at risk).
Stantec is working with the Ford gov't to rip out bike lanes in Toronto, despite the injunction that prevents this work taking place until March & despite the tens of thousands of Ontarians who don't want to see their money wasted ripping out perfectly good infrastructure we paid to put in:
Shame on you, Stantec

Three years ago, when the ding dong delegation rolled into Ottawa and spent 3 weeks harassing its citizens, Doug Ford went snowmobiling.
He said the mayor should've called him if he needed help.
Doug later refused to testify at the Emergencies Act inquiry.
We deserve better, Ontario.
