There is no truth to the rumour that Ford is planning to replace speed cameras outside schools with speed bumps made of the grave mounds of the children who will die as a result of this change.

Walters is going to a “private sector” job. Is there any truth to the rumour he’s been hired by PornHub?

This is fucking insane and I am astonished at how irresponsible Global News upper management is being with this. They’re risking the credibility of all their journalists and for…what? Canada’s worst nepo baby?

Chilling….

Can we call for the institutionalization of Republican Congressmen?

those commies at cato will get it for this

“In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s murder, Trump’s DOJ deleted a study from its site stating right-wing violence ‘continues to outpace all other types of terrorism & domestic violent extremism’ in 🇺🇸 — The study was available online until Friday.” newrepublic.com/post/200537/...

Facts are facts: Right-wing extremists account for the overwhelming majority of extremist-linked deaths in America.

Area man who dropped out of college and worked at his dad’s business before becoming premier and only showing up for work 50% of the time stands on the lawn of the home he inherited from his mom to tell young people that if they can’t find a job it’s because they’re not looking hard enough.

In Ontario criminal vigilantism is acceptable, effective & can influence government policy. When Doug Ford gives his tacit approval of criminal vigilantism, indicating it can influence his government's public policy, it's a frightening moment for Ontario. My column on what we should think about.

Gotta love a guy who, er, walks the talk!

Creativity coupled with fearless principle - a winning combination!

There’s a very clear signal here that Toronto police do not care about this camera or this crime. If this guy was vandalizing police cars, he would’ve been caught in a week www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

#Onthisday 24th August 1814 the burning of The White House. British troops set The White House ablaze as they sack Washington D.C. largely as retaliation for the Americans burning York, Canada, the year before. The US President, Madison had already abandoned his home.

Fed "reform": workers pay up to 30% of pay for their housing (up to $15,600). Mostly 8-to-a-room dorms. No AC. No binding rules on who pays to bring them to CDA to work. (median $880 a trip). Brutal summary of why these reforms aren't good enough. Worth a read. migrantrights.ca/controlsnotp...

Check this shit! Earlier today, ICE tried to break into private property in Lynwood, California — no judicial warrant, no authority. Acting like thugs, not federal agents. Spoiler alert: Lynwood does not play. This trio of goons got sent packing.

The government's "eyebrow-raising" penchant for breaking up strikes finally met its match in the woman-dominated workforce of CUPE's Air Canada unit. Why the flight attendants' strike was "a perfect storm" for labour: pressprogress.ca/air-canada-f...

Ottawa’s interference in the Air Canada strike delayed a resolution. When it stepped aside, a deal quickly followed. Op-ed by @policyalternatives.ca Executive Director #canlab @peggynash.bsky.social troymedia.com/business/air...

So Ford wasn’t aware of the financial state of the company he handed billions of taxpayer dollars to?

Read this thread. Scan this fact book. www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc... And, please, pretty please, sit with the section on the care economy. It's the economic powerhouse of the Canadian economy, but you'd never know it from the current discourse on industrial policy and #CanadaStrong.

88% of Canadians support Air Canada flight attendants, new poll confirms cupe.ca/88-canadians...

Among the 150 Canadians held in ICE custody (so far) this year are at least 2 Canadian toddlers, "including one who was detained for 51 days, more than double the legal detention period for migrant children in the United States, a Globe and Mail analysis of American enforcement data shows."

A loser senator from Maine wrote to Canadian representatives asking them to commit treason, break up our country and join the United States of Trump. I had to school him in basic facts about Canadian values and our readiness to defend our nation from fascists. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Bpt...

The federal govt looks set to revive the deep cuts of the 1990s—cuts that gutted public services, widened inequality and left lasting damage still felt today. Here’s my op ed on what’s at stake today. bit.ly/4ovzcr3 #cdnpoli

If the FBI thinks leaving the state of Texas is a crime, then Ted Cruz needs to be on death row.

A man who screamed “Kill ’em!” at police during the January 6 riot now works for the Department of Justice. And the DOJ says they “appreciate his contributions.” If you’re not chilled by that, you’re not paying attention. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-doj-ju...

It seems that Tim Apple is taking the company in a different direction.

Trump's is threatening our right to maintain an independent foreign policy. It has disturbing echoes of Putin's threat against Ukraine for refusing to live in the orbit of Moscow. Canada must hold the line on Gaza, Ukraine and defy threats from Washington. charlieangus.substack.com/p/holding-th...

Melania Trump did this to the White House rose garden so her husband couldn't bury her there.

Ghoul.

Trump threatened Canada over recognizing Palestine. Did he think we'd give in? Polling shows the majority want Canada to move quickly on recognizing Palestine. 95% say hit back with immediate counter tariffs. 74% say go hard even if it causes financial harm at home. Face it Donald, We hate you.

Only an asshole would be a friend of Jeffrey Epstein and an enemy of Canada.
