And, as you can see here my friends, this expense document shows we are the most transparent government in Ontario's 500-year history.

While Ontarians are struggling to afford groceries, rent, and basic bills, Doug Ford spent $29M of taxpayer money on a luxury gravy plane for trips to the U.S. If this was really a “clean giveback,” then show Ontarians the receipts. What are they hiding? #onpoli www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

Secret government is totalitarian government. Full stop. Any water carrier is on that side. There are many.

Local government says what it does or doesn't do is nobody else's business.

In 2012 I took a comp ling course that went deep into language models as AI. The professor dropped a quote that I think about probably once a week now: “building a computer model of language and expecting intelligence is like building a computer model of the ocean and expecting to get wet”

NEW: Ontario Premier Doug Ford insists “of course” he will release documents proving buying and selling a private jet didn’t cost provincial taxpayers, although he has offered no details of when that will happen. #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1182680...

Doug Ford has had the legislature meet through the night to impose his will on ON, too. Recently, to pass the omnibus bill with his FOI changes. Previously, to cut the size of Toronto council in half, during the election campaign.

#BillC22 will force every digital service provider - including telcos, services, the cloud, even hardware - to build backdoors to their products for law enforcement. It also forces them to retain 1 year of our metadata - where we go, who we talk to, when. www.michaelgeist.ca/2026/03/the-... 2/

🇨🇦's #BillC22 is entering committee study this week - and we're hearing it may become law by end of the month. We never say this: but this is the worst, most privacy-breaking bill we've seen. It MUST be stopped. Speak up against it and read on to learn more: www.openmedia.org/StopC22-bsky 1/

Ford eyeing Ontario taxpayer funds for Billy Bishop expansion

I ride transit and HE DOESN’T SPEAK FOR ME HE DOESN’T SPEAK FOR ANY OF US

Ford shut down safe consumption sites and is now turning the TTC into a police state to hide his mistake. The answer isn’t more enforcement, it’s more care. More mental health and addiction support, fund affordable housing, build shelters. That’s the solution. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/05/04/t...

How is it possible in Canada for a premier to eliminate basic voter accountability laws? I just don’t understand how there are no institutions with the power to stop this obviously authoritarian power grab. We will never live down the shame. Living in Ontario feels like a lost cause

Doug Ford's big FOI cover-up.

Imagine being such an idiot that the case law the opposing side is using is another case of yours hahahhhahahahaha See here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Read this! It’s not just Ottawa. It’s Hamilton and Toronto and everywhere else in Ontario. While our premier flies around in jets and swipes his pen to cancel safety programs, effectively killing future pedestrians with each signature.

What the hell www.newyorker.com/culture/prog...

Fast-speed trains are bad because rural residents are mad, but infilling one of the Great Lakes for the convenience of plane travel is good even if urban residents' quality of life and health plummets. These guys...

WATCH: The freedom of information changes are now law and the government is sending out new rejection letters much quicker than it ever answered requests. Plus, a court challenge? #OnPoli

Please explain the cuts to the CBC, which you promised to protect. www.hilltimes.com/2026/03/04/l...

Carney is cutting the CBC budget by $200 million

This place is the best

"robotaxis can't work if they have to pay fines" is so similar to "LLMs can't work if they have to pay for training data"

"There is effectively no new money in Carney’s fiscal plan to support what he calls “essential social programs.” "...the Liberals would be wise to remember their support stems from women. And it is progressives that helped them win the last election." #CdnPoli 🎁 www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

Take every opportunity to ask your local Liberal MPs how adding the cost of private sector CEO and board of directors salaries, as well as shareholders’ dividends, help to reduce costs for consumers.

Raj correctly points out how Carney is kneecappimg social programs, and working to privatize government services like airports. Also worth noting: the first-ever (AFAICT) cuts to CPP premiums, which raises for the first time the potential for future rollbacks of a previously unassailable program.

"a 2015 report by the consultancy Oliver Wyman, produced for Air Canada, concluded that the expansion price tag at Billy Bishop could be as much as $1-billion." And I'm always interested in the entities who are lobbying behind the scenes for this. #ToPoli #OnPoli #CdnPoli

Planners only want one thing and it's disgusting.

Gift link. But if you like the things I write maybe subscribe to the Star and tell them that’s why. 🥹😛 I am but a mere freelancer rowing the precarious media waters. www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

Liberal MPs have been playing playing passive, coy & cagey w their real island airport feelings, but they’re deeply implicated - even making concrete expansion plans! I go thru some of them in my @thestar.com column today & why they owe Torontonians some honest loyalty. They could stop it today.

It's a corporate slush fund that uses public money and will be paid for by selling off public assets. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Is it Doug ford’s cell phone records?

As predicted, so much for the federal gas tax cut. 😡 The oil companies just hoovered that up, thank you very much. The gas tax cut ended up being a straight transfer from the public to bursting oil and gas company profits: vancouver.citynews.ca/2026/04/27/f...

NEW: Doug Ford is headlining an “exclusive members only” event at a private club in downtown Toronto. The sparsely advertised event comes as the Ontario premier appears to pull back his public appearances amid falling poll numbers. #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1182331...

Cover-up: Under RCMP investigation, Ford government uses new FOI law to withhold records of potentially unlawful “investment opportunity meetings” between political staffers and Greenbelt lobbyists, including a meeting between minister David Piccini & Mr. X www.thetrillium.ca/news/the-tri... #onpoli

not just criminals, but kings

This is what criminals do.

Ladies and gentlemen, the king of ontario:

You can still call Ford and object to him changing the FOI rules to exempt himself, his cabinet/staff from FOI requests. If we are silent now, he thinks we are fine with this. Ford ☎️: 416 325-1941

This is insanely undemocratic. Not one of these PC MPPs deserve re-election and that fact that they may be is sickening.

This is not justice. You never have to listen to an Ontario Progressive Conservative talk about law & order again. Put this back in their face. Every minister, every back bencher. They all voted for secret govt.

The Ford govt slow-walked this & now the door is shut. Outrageous. "On Monday, the ministry informed The Trillium that all 219 records “fall within the exclusion under the (new law) relating to records held by ministers, parliamentary assistants & their offices,” & would not be released." #OnPoli

It’s a road that has been closed for years due to flooding that no one is really clamouring to reopen (and many of us naturalists want to keep it closed), staff is recommending to spend $8.1M on repairing it.

'Proceeds will belong to Canadians...' ...well unless they are used to de-risk oil and gas projects with no economic foundation through a fake sovereign wealth fund that is.

After Bitove bought The Toronto Star, he got an online casino license from the Ford government. The Star hired the editor of the National Post. A paper the Ford brothers boycotted, because it reported on them, to a paper that helpfully ran this cover just before the provincial election in 2022.

Is there one example where privatizing a public asset has turned out to be beneficial for Canadians as a whole? Between Petro-Canada, Air Canada, Highway 407, Hydro One, all I see are regrets.

of course, this would mean not just Google losing out on revenue from public schools using chromebooks. Every district uses an LMS, so they are paying for Blackboard or Canvas, and those big companies are gonna fight this too.

We seriously need @mark-carney.bsky.social and his #LPC federal government to start using disallowance to send Doug Ford a message to stop messing with Toronto's affairs! Jets at Billy Bishop didn't make sense back in 2015 and they make even less sense now! #TOpoli #ONpoli #cdnpoli #NoJetsTO
