One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

NEW: Ontario has finally awarded the feasibility study contract for the Highway 401 tunnel, paying a Canadian company $9.1M for the work. Internal studies have already looked at the idea and concluded there was a “potential for roadway collapse.” #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1151529...

This is the simplest way to blast this whole argument to smithereens cowboystatedaily.com/2025/02/20/m...

You know what they say about competent authoritarians: the train ran on time

Let them eat ballroom

"I don't know how they sleep at night," NDP Leader Marit Stiles said Thursday. "I'll just say it... I think very few people really believe this is a real thing." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The latest in Ontario Canada. An unhappy voter posted this on a lampost in downtown Port Hope, with a pic of the scoundrel, an Ontario government cabinet minister. The latest corrupt act from a conservative government:

Johnny Nash hits #1 today in 1972 with “I Can See Clearly Now” — sometimes considered the first reggae song to do so. (A young Bob Marley was an assistant producer and session player on the album.) It held the top spot for four weeks.

6 November 1907 | A Polish Jew, Abraham Schanzer, was born in Muszyna. A salesman. In #Auschwitz from 12 December 1941. No. 24344 He perished in the camp on 21 January 1942. --- Online lesson about Jewish prisoners at KL Auschwitz: https://lekcja.auschwitz.org/29_zydzi_en/

NEW: For the first time in a decade, the LCBO is expecting to see less than $2 billion in revenue. That's something workers at the Crown corporation warned could happen after alcohol liberalization was introduced. #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1151446...

I think content creators and "news influencers" can play a valuable role in our democratic discourse, but they need to hold themselves to basic standards of integrity For example, not actively working for a political party or fetching coffees for the Conservative Party's Director of Communications

So out of sight and out of mind #Ford

NEW: Another fiscal update, and it's more bad news for housing starts. The Fall Economic Statement is predicting Ontario will build 82,000 fewer homes from 2024 to 2027 than the 2024 budget had modelled. #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1151495...

Good morning Blue Sky. I’ll just leaf this here

Trustees are the only level of government that focuses on public education and student needs! globalnews.ca/video/115107...

The Ministry of Natural Resources says nearly 6,000 square kilometres burned in Ontario this wildfire season, much more than last year and well above the province’s 10-year average. #Onpoli globalnews.ca/news/1150871...

Calandra has no idea how much those unelected supervisors with zero education experience has spent so far, for their part time jobs. Yet, he continues to rail on about a trustee buying a parent a 15 dollar milkshake at a meetup! This is not about money.

NEW: The Ford government is moving to limit debate and public hearings on several pieces of legislation, including a bill which will make it easier for Queen’s Park to sideline trustees and take control of school boards. #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1151241...

In Canada's northernmost city, 1,455 miles from Toronto, where polar bears and narwhals roam - there's a bar called The Storehouse. It's filled with diehard Blue Jays fans who'll be eagerly watching Game 3 tonight. “It feels like we’re on the moon." www.mlb.com/news/blue-ja...

The Democrats won several VA House seats where winning looked like a pipe dream going into the election. The Dems won these seats because they recruited candidates and actually campaigned. Important lesson for 26--the electorate is pissed--but you can only win when you run. Run everywhere!

A new coalition, high turnout and more: Here are seven takeaways from the New York City mayoral election and Zohran Mamdani’s historic win.

GOP: Caring about the problems of citizens is a commie plot.

The Trump administration tried to hide how taxpayer dolllars are being spent by taking down the OMB's apportionment database. In response to this illegal removal, we sued the administration—and we won!

Congratulations to Kate White and the Yukon NDP on becoming Official Opposition! Women in politics get it done. I can't wait to watch the team get real results for the people of the Yukon.

Congratulations to Kate White and the Yukon NDP on becoming the Official Opposition last night. New Democrats are in government or Official Opposition in 7 provinces and territories. Canadians know the NDP deliver results that make life better for working people. Let's keep building that momentum.

No FBI agent or federal prosecutor will now ever dare to investigate a Republican, a MAGA figure, or anyone with any connection to Trump, his family, or his businesses. To even look in the direction of such a possible target would be career suicide.
