Trump has lost his mind. His speeches are insane, misspelled ravings about the 2020 election, filled with bad grammar and shotgun caps. If this guy were a mayor in Anytown, USA, he would be told politely but firmly to surrender the gavel and get medical help.

Our billionaire Treasury Secretary called Denmark “irrelevant.” Hmm. Unlike the US, in Denmark, health care & college are free, the starting wage is $22 an hour, paid parental leave is 1 year, paid vacation is 6 weeks & all workers get pensions. That seems very relevant to me.

No, President Trump. Illegally canceling $2 billion in funding to deal with the mental health, addiction and opioid crises will not Make America Healthy Again. It will lead to more illnesses, more overdoses and more deaths. This blatantly unconstitutional act must be rescinded.

I just signed a petition demanding the federal government Ban X/Twitter in Canada. Join me in signing here: you.leadnow.ca/petitions/ba...

#RIP I was thinking about Bruce several times this week. As a columnist with the #torontostar he was, as far as I know, the first and only journalist/columnist to enter a shelter and write about it. There’s a life lesson for journalism.

For the health of the water and our communities, we can’t afford to test the waters of privatization. Sign on now to urge the provincial government to ensure water and wastewater services in Ontario remain public. act.environmentaldefence.ca/page/181763/...

#MEDIA: Ontario’s energy path is a warning — not a model. A nuclear-heavy plan is locking in more fossil gas for decades, driving up costs and delaying climate action. New York shouldn’t repeat the mistake. Read more: environmentaldefence.ca/2025/12/19/s...

Sign this petition to let Danielle Smith know that Bill 11 is unacceptable and we want a public health care system.

ALBERTA: Bill 11 makes healthcare more expensive for everyone by introducing a two-tier system ⚠️ It lets doctors mix public and private work, giving faster access to people who pay while everyone else waits longer. Visit NoTwoTier.ca to advocate against this and FOR Universal Public Healthcare.

Heavy rains have deepened Gaza's misery, flooding tents in which many thousands of people are huddled, exposed to winter. A baby recently died of hypothermia. Israel continues to restrict humanitarian aid, including tents. Nothing but silence from Trump. We must not forget Gaza.

Congratulations to every House Democrat and 20 Republicans for voting to restore the constitutional right to a union for over a million federal employees. The Senate must pass this bipartisan provision immediately. All workers, including federal employees, have the right to be in a union.

I don’t know who made this, but it’s spot on!!

I stand in strong solidarity with workers at Caesars Horseshoe casino in Indianapolis who are on strike against corporate greed. If Caesars can afford to pay its CEO $18 million and spend $50 million on stock buybacks, it can afford to treat all of its workers with respect.

Happy Halloween.

Trump and Republicans in Congress are willing to let 16 million kids in America go hungry to make a political point. Disgusting. Mr. President: Release the SNAP emergency funds that Congress appropriated.

During the shutdown, Trump could find $40 billion to bail out Argentina & $300 million for a ballroom to host dinner parties with billionaires, but he won’t tap emergency funds to prevent millions of American kids from going hungry? How cruel is that?

Inspiring to join people of all faiths and none in Whitechapel today to keep the far right out of the East End. We had a simple message to anyone trying to divide our community: jog on and get lost.

Trump is throwing 15 million Americans off health care. He's doubling premiums for 20 million Americans. Now, he's refusing to use a $5 billion emergency SNAP fund to keep 16 million kids from going hungry. But the 1% keep $1 trillion in tax breaks. Oligarchy in action.

Gaza has 2.2 million people. In 2 years, 10% of the population has been killed or wounded. Their entire infrastructure has been destroyed.  Instead of giving more military aid to Netanyahu’s extremist government, the US must work with the international community to rebuild Gaza.

In the middle of all Trump’s distractions, pay attention to the fundamental issue: While the richest people are getting richer, tens of millions of people are struggling to pay for rent & groceries. Now 15 million Americans are going to be thrown off health care. Unacceptable.
