8/8 The ministry says no formal proposal has been received yet. But the documents show the path was being cleared from the top down. Charles Rusnell for The Tyee thetyee.ca/News/2025/12...

Ontario's jails are overcrowded, which will get worse if it goes ahead with bail reform keeping more people awaiting their court date in jail rather than on the street. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #onpoli

Guess who is getting more $ for private clinic surgeries? A clinic run by the group of orthopedic surgeons who paid to RENT THE OTTAWA GENERAL HOSPITAL ORs and drew nursing and other staff for weekend work. Anybody remember that controversy? And, now they are being rewarded... tinyurl.com/3rh2sxhe

Guy who says he loves keeping costs low will force people to work in offices costing taxpayers more to keep office spaces open so govt workers can take Zoom meetings in downtown Ottawa instead of at home. It makes a lot of sense.

Ontario’s education minister is hiring two advisors at $1,500 a day to review why EQAO results aren’t improving. Critics say the answer is obvious: “we don’t need people making $1,500 a day to tell us scores are down because the government cut funding by $1,500 a student.” #cdnpoli

#OntarioNews - In lieu of the scandals saga of pro-American Trumpist premier #DougFord🏴‍☠️🤡, charitable organization bought former resort lands in Niagara Escarpment to protect it from #DougFord giving it to his cronies developers for development! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #ONpoli #OntarioPolitics

If you need another reason to despise Harper, he was the one who cut CBC and destroyed our wonderful Children's programming department... The program about Mr. Dress-up last night was very well done. Such a pleasure to watch. Thank-you @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social for inspiring so many children.

This is important. Please share. "What do Ontario NDP, Liberal and Green MPPs have in common? Pharmacare... ...This morning, we sent a letter to the Premier and Minister Jones calling on our province to join the national plan for birth control and diabetes." #OnPoli #OnHealth

The @OntarioAuditor gave @fordnation an F on primary care. Enough med schools? Fail. Enough doctors? Fail. Enough funding? Fail. And as his performance went down, his ad budget went up. Can you believe he spent $112 million on ads so you won't notice? ⬇️ #onpoli #onhealth

There is no reason we can’t do this to Doug Ford: #onpoli #onted www.ola.org/en/legislati...

This is not satire. This MLA from BC wants a provincial statutory holiday in honour of the Freedom Convoy. www.castanet.net/news/Kelowna...

This is so disgusting. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The takeover of the NNDSB is another example of the Minister of Education ignoring the right of parents to have a say. Parents deserve transparency, accountability and real consultation. What they are getting from the Minister today is the opposite. #onted www.ontariondp.ca/news/pasma-m...

"“The government is stripping out a one-line piece of the Consumer Protection Act which simply says that reward loyalty points cannot expire simply due to the passage of time,” said Blais." Of course Doug's team says that is not the case but I would bet it is. www.cp24.com/politics/que...

The way to read the Canada-Alberta MOU is that Carney is using the Trump effect as political cover to pursue the deregulatory agenda he’s long wanted. I spoke with @naomiaklein.bsky.social who called it a classic example of the shock doctrine.

“Rather than reinvesting those profits in the Canadian economy, the four companies paid out $79.7 billion in dividends and share buybacks, nearly ¾ of which went to foreign shareholders, including 62% to American shareholders.” www.theenergymix.com/u-s-owned-oi...

“I don’t get involved in these decisions,” the premier said. “I don’t believe in micromanaging. I like making big decisions… That’s why I have ministers, so I don’t micromanage. I hold everyone accountable, I can tell you that.” Ford went on to say all the new speed bumps in Toronto must be blue.

The Pathways Alliance project would inevitably be a massive boondoggle if it ever gets built. It’s only purpose is to greenwash the oil industry and deceive Canadians into thinking we can be a clean petrostate.

Notice who voted against this resolution and who abstained #Disgusting UN resolution against torture, it passed, all those countries in green below voted in favour of the resolution to prevent acts of torture, cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment /1

Buahhahaha, the Ontario mob doesn’t even hide it anymore. Where is the RCMP again? On the payroll?

This is a very concerning story. Cold Lake First Nation is living in 3rd world conditions. They have been completely frozen out by Mark Carney/Danielle Smith's plan to drive a 400 km pipeline carbon capture facility on their land. This won't end well Mark. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/26/n...

I agree with Charlie's assessment, there are others that say that PM Carney is giving her the tools to end herself, not sure I believe that but his country does not need another pipeline

The prospects for investment in new Canadian LNG and heavy oil export infrastructure are far from promising, both economically and environmentally, write @profkharrison.bsky.social & @simondonner.bsky.social. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/21/o...

Seven months into Mark Carney’s tenure as prime minister, Canada’s “elbows up” promise has turned into a string of climbdowns and humiliations. The Walrus contributing writer @davidmoscrop.com asks: How long can we pretend this strategy is working? thewalrus.ca/carney-promised-...

Minister of Labour David Piccini handpicked a company – Keel Digital Solutions – to receive funding despite scoring just 59/100. Then came the Paris wedding, the rink-side Leafs seats, and now an OPP investigation. With all this on the table, how has Doug Ford not fired him?

For those who've followed the story of Wet'suwet'en land defenders—criminalized for peacefully fighting the CGL pipeline through their lands—read this statement on the final judgement in their case. The power and wisdom of this struggle are incredibly moving. www.yintahaccess.com/news/sentenc...

Agree - The USA has vilified H-1B visa holders unless they serve some low-income need of the oligarchs.. and even then. These are intelligent people who will decide for themselves where they want to be. 'Lure away' is an inaccurate term. They're being given an option.

If CBSA refuses to explain why it thought a *95 YEAR OLD* retired Princeton law professor and UN special rapporteur might be a threat to national security, Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree should

I doubt that my suburban Council colleagues did as I did, which was to survey my residents and ask if their position on Lansdowne. Because my colleagues who supported it would then have to acknowledge how they went against the vast majority of their residents’ wishes.

Reconstruction equals destruction equals money in Ford’s pocket.

Re-upping this 🧵 from when Ksi Lisims LNG was given enviro approval. The downstream emissions from Ksi Lisims will be roughly equivalent to 5% of Canada's TOTAL domestic GHG emissions. This is a carbon bomb - a willful act of arson. Mark Carney simply does not get the climate emergency... 👇
