Great to see @maritstilesndp.bsky.social finally dropping the gloves and going on attack against corrupt Doug Ford. Voters will respond to someone ready to fight for them as Premier deconstructs the province.

Manitoba's Red Dress Alert system takes one step closer to reality with the release of a final report on community consultations. Hear more on APTN News Brief:

"Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Wednesday released a study that found that artificial intelligence can already replace 11.7% of the U.S. labor market, or as much as $1.2 trillion in wages across finance, health care and professional services." Universal basic income is needed yesterday.

Today, on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, I called on all of my parliamentary colleagues to commit to defending the right of every person in this country and around the world to live free from violence. Let us choose courage over convenience. Let us act.

"Immanuel Kant urged us to respect the value of human beings by treating them always (at the same time) as ends in themselves and never (merely) as means to ends other than themselves... A universal basic income (UBI), I contend, could be a helpful policy to this effect." The Kantian case for UBI:

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. This year's theme is digital abuse. Fewer than 40% of countries have laws protecting women from cyber harassment or cyber stalking. This leaves 44% of the world’s women and girls without access to legal protection.

And instead of hanging around here trying to make your taxpayer’s voice heard why don’t you get off your ass, buddy, and go apply for a Skills Development Fund grant like all my hardworking friends do!!

I won’t even begin to entertain a candidate in the next Ontario election who doesn’t commit to FULLY FUNDING and meaningfully investing in public healthcare and education.

Are there any examples in all of history where a building was safely constructed on a floodplain (where WE didn’t bear responsibility for the sequelae)?

If a pipeline goes afoul of the Northern and Coastal First Nations, they will pull their support from at least four huge projects that are already underway. That’s not a veto, it’s a breach of contract.

Thanks to Doug Ford’s prison guards, who tortured people and lied about it, three people wanted for murderer are going free. The Conservatives are making us not safe.

#Walkerton If business wants to buy or take over a public service or crown corporation you have to know that it’s a GREAT investment. Then we should keep it. Other services should be considered sacrosanct because they are part of the common good.

Doug Ford, once again, proves he’s #ForThePeople I wonder when the evidence of this corruption will come out. RCMP? Where are you?

Ford gets indignant when accused of over reach when he invokes the Notwithstanding Clause to run roughshod over democratic process and human rights That about sums it up #onpoli #canpoli

No holds barred. Scathing and eloquent #Ukraine

#Ukraine Peace plan? Here's a peace plan. Given that this 'special military operation' is a Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, an invasion of a sovereign country, Russia needs to get the f*ck out of Ukraine!

1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime 2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression 3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press 4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim. Russian policy 2025
