Premier Wab Kinew: The Charter protects our freedoms — from a Hutterite community’s right to live by faith to a trans child’s right to be safe and seen. Our new law ensures any use of the notwithstanding clause goes before the courts — and the people. That’s democracy in action.

Not going very well. I guess we don't need elbows?

I wanted to thank everyone that participated, in person or online, on the Town Hall on Public Education and Why it Matters. The fight for public education is just starting. You can view the town hall at the link below!! www.facebook.com/share/v/1SSp...

Town hall this Tuesday!!! Sing up here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

The Trillium is hammering this story. "Months before he was put in charge of Ontario’s Ministry of Labour, cabinet minister David Piccini was at a Toronto Maple Leafs game in front-row seats with a director of a company his office would later give $7.5 million in taxpayer-funded grants to. #OnPoli

Vladdy: "DAAAAAA YANKEES LOSE!"

Thanks to @thewalrus.ca for agreeing to publish my thoughts on the proposed elimination of school trustees in Ontario. #OntEd thewalrus.ca/im-a-school-...

Feeling a bit of jealousy out here in Ontario. This is great.

A reminder that Ford has repeatedly used or threatened to use the Notwithstanding Clause to undermine democracy by: - Limiting third party election advertising - Slashing Toronto City Council mid-election - Undermining education workers' labour rights - Evicting encampments - Removing bike lanes

"You are a transformative president" -- I regret to inform you that Mark Carney is kissing Trump's ass

Join ICE today!! 🤡🎯

The TDSB and TCDSB in Toronto have been suspended by the Ministry of Education and a supervisor has been given control of each respective Board. Yet removing the Boards will not make our schools better, but will get rid of accountability and transparency. www.downsviewadvocate.ca/news/supervi...

Not sure which I loathe more -- Carney bending the knee to Trump at every turn and getting nothing to show for it or Poilievre heckling at him and pretending that he wouldn’t do exactly the same but faster 😡 #ElbowsDown

Bad Bunny responds to his Super Bowl critics in Spanish, and then English: “And, if you didn’t understand know what I just said, you have four months to learn!”

Kevin Page is the best of the best when it comes to speaking truth to power and to representing the highest standards of public service. If he says the Parliamentary Budget officer is wrong about the state of our nation's finances -you can take it to the bank. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Lol Watch this.

Did not have receiving King's Coronation medal as part of my Bingo of Life card, but here we are.

The US massacre of 11 civilians in the Caribbean drew condemnation across Latin America. Canada’s Mark Carney offered none. His silence follows a history of undermining Venezuela, from blocking its gold reserves at the Bank of England to aligning with Washington’s regime-change agenda.

BREAKING: Ford government skills training funding ‘not fair, transparent or accountable’: auditor general Ford government labour ministers overruled civil servants to fund skills training by groups with lobbyists, according to a scathing new report www.thetrillium.ca/news/politic...

TDSB chair and former councillor Neethan Shan wins by-election in Scarborough-Rouge Park. thelocal.to/neethan-shan...

scarborough-rouge park just elected neethan shan - adding to a progressive wave of councillors in scarborough. bus lanes were a key election issue. the two runner-ups campaigned to rip out bus lanes. they lost. lesson: don't mess with scarborough's bus lanes. suburban transit riders vote, too.

Call Calandra. Call Ford. Tell them this isn’t ok. Restore our trustees. Fund our school system so our kids have stability not “efficiency”. 416-325-2600 416-325-1941 #onted #onpoli #fundourschools #keeptrustees #bettercallpaul

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service. Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

Instead of working on making public education better the Minister distracts with personal expenses: “If he wants to set a moral standard, that’s amazing. But all of our expenses have to be publicly shared on our websites ...They should be able to do the same for the minister.” tinyurl.com/4vjyp3xm

"In some places, French postal workers now pick up prescriptions, return library books, and deliver flowers. Last year, only twenty eight per cent of La Poste’s revenue came from sending mail." Services can evolve in positive ways to meet new and growing needs.

The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network. This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.

At the first in-person convention since 2019, I was re-elected as President of the @theondy.bsky.social! It’s truly an honour and work that I do not take lightly nor for granted. I’m grateful for the support and look forward to the work that’s ahead.

In you’re in the area, stop by Lynnwood PS in Scarborough to support parents staging a walk in Monday morning to protest the unresponsive TDSB Supervisor, former Metrolinx advisor, Rohit Gupta. #onpoli #onted

I sincerely hope Jones helps this style make a comeback. It will make it very easy to spot terrible racists. And mustaches are not a protected characteristic under human rights law.

A very big Onion announcement: The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece. It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile. It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd. Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

Ford Going After School Boards “We need to do what people have done in other places like Manitoba or B.C., where their respective governments tried pushing through similar changes as the Ford government but were defeated.” www.thegrindmag.ca/ford-going-a...

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

This is why they’re deleting studies

I’m looking forward to running for re-election this weekend at the Ontario NDP convention! I’ve worked on anti-racist and outreach initiatives in the party. I have lots of lessons learned and high hopes for what can be accomplished by the ONDP during these difficult times faced by people across ON.
