Ford & Flack’s handpicked Chair for Niagara Region was forced to resign 3 weeks ago when it was revealed he’s a collector of nazi memorabilia. And now they want to appoint all regional chairs? No thank you.

Kathleen Wynne, a Premier who worked everyday to make this place better for everyone, has some thoughts about the guy who replaced her with his lies and bad faith. Great job Trillium for staying on the case and putting this where every one can see it. #onpoli www.thetrillium.ca/opinion/opin...

Which party did Canadians vote for again?

Yet another round of reducing HST and lowering DCs is not a transformational change. It’s a time-limited stacking up firewood with the expectation that a fire will light itself.

Avi Lewis is Jewish and was standing alongside MP Leah Gazan (daughter of a Dutch Holocaust survivor) yet because they're all anti-Zionist the pro Israel lobby attacks are coming in day 1

Real cuts to education. That’s what this budget delivers, with K-12 funding down 3.6% in real terms. And 1.9% in post-secondary. Our schools cannot keep doing more with less. Full analysis from @policyalternatives.ca : bit.ly/4rXq8vy #OSSTF #OntEd #OnPoli #ONBudget2026

A confluence of events--stricter immigration, cuts to the civil service and the use of AI--that, fortunately, have no real world consequences. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

On one hand, this is a welcome change. On the other hand, Doug Ford is the man who repealed Ontario’s previous anti-scalping law right after he originally came into office, and then ignored complaints for a decade as Ticketmaster fleeced Ontarians.

Is he a worse premier than Mike Harris?

TDSB supervisor’s decision to enlarge some special ed classes causing ‘absolute chaos,’ teachers say

@isaaccallan.bsky.social Do you know anything about this provincial government proposal? They describe it as a narrow administrative change, but it looks to me like a massive land grab for all property owned by the LCBO & conservation agencies… www.regulatoryregistry.gov.on.ca/proposal/53373

Llyod Axworthy is spot on here about Canada’s response to today’s events between the US, Israel, & Iran. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... #cdnpoli

So it’s not just Toronto that Ford’s government hates. Their MPP trying to quietly sneak away from a reporter asking him about it is ridiculous to watch.

Amateur hour. Where are the ads for Firehouse Subs and Booster Juice?

People focused on the “not counting the price of the lot” are missing the point. The huge opportunity with garden flats is for empty-nesters to get a new, fully-accessible, right-sized home on the property they already own, freeing up the old 3-4 bedroom house for a family that needs a bigger space.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

This US Regime is really going all in on 1984… youtu.be/hiwgOWo7mDc

The US stance on Cuba is also affecting other nations. Guatemala has Cuban doctors that work in rural areas providing care to that population. Their contract has now been cancelled and they will be returning to Cuba at the end of March leaving many areas without medical care.

Sorry owls, I too am on #teamgoldensnakewithsuperduperlongtailthatcrashescars

This is so cool. Only thing that would make it better would be if the Konami code unlocked a bonus level where you get to battle Phil Verster in a mech suit.

You’re pushed on by numbers and punitive measures: pain, rejection, and unpaid bills. You can either play or you can crawl under a boat and waste away -- turn into salt or a flock of seagulls. Your enemies would love that. Or you can fight. The only way to load the dice is to keep on fighting.

There’s your Ontario-built equipment going up against an unarmed crowd.

Remember a couple days ago when Mark Carney’s speech crowed about making Canada strong by investing in AI? That means handing an American far-right billionaire propagandist another half billion for his CSAM-generating machine.

The Canadian government, on paper, could definitely do a lot. They just refuse to do it because Transport Canada is a subsidiary of CN & CP, and in an extractivist state the fast and efficient shipping of raw materials abroad is the preoccupation number one of the political class.

Mark Carney is right to say that the old order is not coming back. But where his remarks fall short is in their insistence on answering the crises of our time through the lens of neoliberalism—an ideology that has, for decades, hollowed out the very sovereignty he now claims to defend.

Recommend using the CBC link below and not the National Post, an American-owned right-wing trash rag. Thx. youtu.be/MoDQBbbnv7o

I don’t understand the rapturous response to Carney’s speech, because his solution is explicitly to double-down on the plutocrat-stroking that brought us here, while expecting a different outcome.

Several Canadian news orgs have already left X, but I believe @pressprogress.ca may be the first to adopt a policy setting standards around use of digital platforms We think it's time news orgs stop prioritizing clicks and start requiring higher standards from these platforms

I appreciate @1alexhemingway.bsky.social’s consistent advocacy for non-market housing without downplaying market housing or the broader supply shortage. By covering not just zoning but also suppressed household formation, this is pretty much the gold standard for left-YIMBYism.

jfc. mark carney is one slimy ass banker. just entirely full of shit. carbon capture is a fucking scam the mou is a fire sale on canada's future. the "nation building" projects are the wishlist from the oil and gas lobby. this guy is worse than harper by a long shot. #cdnpoli #climatecrisis

A cheap copy maybe, but toppling into a suburban parking lot is somehow more essentially American than the real Statue of Liberty out on its Island.

The World Inequality Report 2026 highlights deep divides in income and wealth, with the richest 10% continuing to dominate economies. Here’s where inequality hits hardest. #Infograph

Ladies & gentlemen, the 2020s.

So happy my girl @supriya.bsky.social is out here opinionating again: "When Canada walks away from feminist policy, it abandons a key driver of poverty and strife. And when Canada appears to bow to bro-signalling ... it has joined the league of polite misogyny." www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

“(Ford & Cons are) really trading on the confusion or sort of opaqueness of what a public corporation is,” Simon Enoch told PressProgress. “A ‘public corporation’ also just means a corporation that’s publicly-traded, which is privately-owned.” pressprogress.ca/ontario-clai...

The headline says it all ... www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

I absolutely hate this. Cutting funding for this program actually costs more because people are homeless again and have to access other programs. But while right-wing parties bang on about saving money they’re actually just being cruel to those less fortunate than themselves.

This is a point that needs repeating. It’s fiscally conservative to house the homeless, it’s also the right thing to do.

If you're keeping score this week, Carney is: * Negotiating backroom deals on pipelines with Alberta and without BC or Indigenous folks. * Undermining anti-greenwashing laws. * Making deals with the UAE despite their role in Sudan. * Cutting funding for infectious disease work in Africa.

Christiane Amanpour, "Antisemitism is a major problem. How do you navigate that?" Zack Polanski, "I think it is a powerful message to have a Jewish leader and a Muslim deputy leader" "Antisemitism and Islamophobia are two sides of the same coin" "And the best response to hatred is solidarity"

"There were spaces to meet (and argue), spaces to organize and plan – and spaces to socialize too... Having different groups sharing the same space provided opportunities for people to learn how to organize together." "Yet now, the left is looking at a very different and less vibrant landscape."...

What could possibly go wrong with this dream team?

They’re bringing the land under the Rebuilding Ontario Place Act—legislation that lets the Premier override provincial and municipal laws, including heritage protections, environmental safeguards, and even labour laws. This scandal-ridden government cannot be trusted with more public land. #ONpoli

Last week, MPP Sol Mamakwa and I pressed the Ford government on why Ontario taxpayers will have to foot the bill for the legal fallout of their unconstitutional Bill 5. Ontarians shouldn’t pay for this government’s mistakes. #onpoli

BBC: Israeli occupation military bombed and demolished more than 1,500 Palestinian homes and facilities in parts of Gaza still under Israeli control after the ceasefire took effect.
