READ THIS! www.canadianaffairs.news/2025/11/12/o... $200K to litigate a case against a social assistance recipient who *may* have received $10K in CERB overpayments is not an "inefficiency", but collecting unpaid taxes on luxury yachts or planes *is* a waste of bureaucratic time? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

Stronger schools start with stronger community input – not less. Add your name and tell your MPP to support smaller classes and real investment in #OntEd schools to best support students, not more top-down government control. Say NO to #Bill33: https://www.knowmore.ca/bill33

Why do cycling bridges matter? Cycling bridges create safe, direct routes for people on bikes, especially across busy roads, railways, or waterways. They remove conflict points with motor traffic, reducing the risk of collisions and making cycling more enjoyable for everyone.

Because this is how science works…

Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com.

Canada is sending hundreds of thousands bullets to Israel as it guns down children waiting in line for food. Not only should Canada cancel arms contracts, it should also cancel trade deals, punish Canadian investors in Israel, and expel Israeli diplomats. I wrote about it for @policyalternatives.ca

"And you'd divide it up". He means Ukraine. Trump has been talking with Putin about dividing up Ukraine.

Why focus on eroding trust in official statistics? 2 big reasons: For authoritarian governments: they'll tell us what we need to know. Muzzles dissent. For big biz: most data is proprietary. They may let us pay for it (or not); use it to shape policy & procurement. Either way, they win, we lose.

Write your MP. It might feel pointless but if we all raise our voices it is something. Condemnation without action is tacit approval.

Those in the West who preach hollow calls for calm and de-escalation must understand the region is hurtling towards the brink. Neither diplomatic platitudes nor sterile press releases will suffice to avert the catastrophe.

The Ontario election was one of the most egregious distortions of democracy in recent memory. The winning party got a huge majority with just 43% of the vote. The second-place party came a distant third in seats. We need proportional representation in Ontario and Canada.

We went from fastest population growth since the 1950s to slowest since 1946. Cut them by 3M but temporary residents still >7% of the population. Newcomers "accounted for all of the population growth because the number of deaths exceeded births by more than 5,600." Without newcomers, recession.

Khan Younis | Southern Gaza Strip Israeli forces have blown up the historic castle towers in Qizan Rashwan. As global attention shifts to the Israel-Iran conflict, Israel intensifies its assault on Gaza carrying out an unprecedented campaign of destruction and mass killing.

For weeks, Chief David Monias has been managing the evacuation of Cross Lake First Nation due to wildfires. At the same time, the prime minister’s office sent him a document to review about proposed legislation to fast-track national energy projects.

This is what the privatization of aid in Gaza looks like, chaos, dehumanization, and humiliation.

Hamza Yousaf (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Former First Minister of Scotland) "It is so painful what we see in Gaza, it hurts all my body...it is not about ideology but the love of life...It is about refusing to be silent or still when it matters the most"

2) Rene Lichtman, 88 Holocaust survivor and former speaker at the Zekelman Holocaust Museum. "Using the Holocaust to justify genocide in Gaza and repress student protest on college campuses is a complete insult to the Holocaust's memory."

In the past week since the Israeli government launched a widely condemned aid scheme, circumventing the UN to take control over the distribution of aid across Gaza, Israeli forces have opened fire multiple times on starving Palestinians queuing for aid, massacring over 100 people.

It's simple: investing in #OntEd schools today means a stronger Ontario tomorrow. So, why is Premier Doug Ford risking our future?
