The real question is, who is funding Kevin O'Leary? substack.com/@rawstory/no...

I wrote a parody of Doug Ford's latest "A Safer Ontario" commercial, but it's actually not a parody it's just how the pitch meeting really went youtube.com/shorts/1NVea...

The world’s largest sand battery got through Finland’s harshest winter in years. 2,000 tonnes of sand, heated to 500-600°C by cheap power, feeding district heating in Pornainen. And it worked. Result from one install: oil down 100%, emissions down 70%. Industrial process heat is the real prize.

Alberta separatist lawyer Jeffrey Rath on CBC ranting about Federalist activists being funded by George Soros and other dark money sources connected to communist China was revealing, to be polite. What a total nut job. “Try to keep up,” he told David Cochrane at one point. Crackers.

If any Canadian doubts the need to break away from the USA model of economic prosperity, read this letter from a Texan Mom: open.substack.com/pub/ifloz/p/...

Another poor decision made by Premier Ford. His government likes to create and pass "tough on crime" laws, but they are not so keen when it comes to enforcement. www.cp24.com/local/toront...

“[Donald Trump] has created a permission structure for people to be their worst selves. He has taught Americans that it’s okay to be selfish and spiteful and hateful and angry and resentful and that is the most toxic thing he has done to the country.”

Ontario, are you paying attention?

Great interview, give it a listen

I had a great time on the CBC IDEAS podcast discussing the unprecedented wealth & power of billionaires. The world’s 12 richest billionaires currently hold more wealth than the bottom 50 percent of people on Earth. Have a listen: app.magellan.ai/listen_links...

And school boards

The push by Republicans to subvert democratic processes is not unique to the USA. Ontario Premier Ford eliminated half of Toronto City Council, and is now restructuring municipal and conservation authorities, replacing elected roles with appointees. newsletters.democracydocket.com/the-gop-lit-...

Guess who else doesn't want to see AOC elected President of the USA? Canada's very own Danielle Smith. For some reason Republicans welcome her views on American politics while telling the rest of Canadians to "mind your own business". open.substack.com/pub/ifloz/p/...

Despite proven experience in the UK that this will not be good for the populace, the Ford government in Ontario is opening the door to privatizing water delivery. theijf.org/article/onta...

Area taxpayers beginning to realize local man not their fun-loving drunk uncle.

Americans : the world is frustrated to hear you lament "Trump doesn't represent who we are", while you continue to vote for him and his minions. As your elected representative, and the person our leaders must deal with, Trump is the personification of the USA. www.rawstory.com/indiana-sign...

Trump has clumsily killed the goose that laid the golden egg - the North American oil industry. Even Martha Hall Findlay now sees investments in carbon capture and storage are too little, too late. But she clings to the hope that new pipelines will save the day. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/02/o...

David Parker and the clowns that published voter data are comparing it to a phone book. I'm old enough to remember that people could opt out of the phone book by subscribing to an "unlisted" number. These actions could have grave consequences, and should be punished. share.google/N3igCdXfgSxO...

An effective reporter would have pointed out that all of Pierre Poilievre's stated rationale holds for the ALTO high speed rail project - which he opposes.

Here's what Ontario's Privacy Commissioner has to say about the Ford Government's changes to FOI Legislation:

Canadian followers, please consider signing this petition. This family suffered the unimaginable loss of their teenage son Finlay due to delays in receiving treatment. They are lobbying the federal government to protect universal access to timely medical care. www.facebook.com/share/1Hp7bS...

I don’t know who is doing the comms strategy for Doug Ford but they should keep going

Congratulations "Captain Canada" on being honoured in Michigan www.mlive.com/news/saginaw...

For Poilievre, it's Party over country. Every. Time.

NEW: "We've moved on." That's what the finance minister told @RichardCityNews when he asked when we can expect to see evidence the government bought and sold a private jet without losing a cent. #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1182655...

Big night for my team! Go Habs!!

The Ford government has taken a significant step to "modernize" FOI laws to protect government privacy. Does the update include protection for voters and constituents so that what's happened in Alberta couldn't happen in Ontario? Maybe #thetrillium could investigate www.cvc.ca/news/canada/...

UPDATE : in 2026, temp ER closures in #ONTARIO are @ 8️⃣2️⃣0️⃣.2️⃣5️⃣hours, perm closure/hour reduction in #Durham #Minden #Chesley #Clinton are @ 7️⃣9️⃣9️⃣2️⃣hrs

@thetrillium.bsky.social can you do Doug Ford?

Mark Carney: "Many of our former strengths, built on our close ties to the US, have become weaknesses. The US has changed. That's their right. And we're responding ... we're deepening our partnerships with our closest allies, including the EU, the Nordic countries, and Australia."

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

Pollution levels in Paris after 10 years of advancing sustainable transport.

Norway sold 12 petrol cars in February 2026. Out of 7,272 new passenger car registrations, 98% were fully electric. Just 67 diesel & 12 petrol cars were registered. Hybrids? Only 66 in total mostly plug ins. More in my new Substack newsletter coming out every 7 days. Sign up here: t.co/In5lBaF2ox

I might have to start watching 60 minutes again.

It is a crisis of political honesty, and Canadians are not wrong to notice it. Those of us who do notice it got here the old-fashioned way: we read the filings, we checked the facts, and we did not have bot cereal for breakfast. queergranddad.substack.com/p/the-medias...

Must read by @davidmoscrop.com! If your retirement plan is to die in the climate wars Doc—PUSH—w UN Special Rapporteur @leilanifarha.bsky.social explains housing "financialization." Housing is treated as a commodity—a vehicle for wealth & investment like oil & gold—rather than a human right. It is.

Doug Ford was quick to pass FOI legislation so we can't access discussions around how his government makes policy. But he refuses to protect consumers who are being spied on by pick-pocket retailers. open.substack.com/pub/davidmos...

"One thing that seems unexplored is how this all looks to the rest of the world. They see what could have been the best democracy on earth destroyed by madness, in a land where guns are everywhere .... www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

"Ford said he was the most scrutinized person in the country." WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST LET DOUG PILFER OUR TAX DOLLARS IN PEACE?!!

It's grim to see such illiterate, ignorant people ("tow" the line?) believing they are entitled to be Supreme Rulers of The World. They're just a bunch of cartoon villains.

Measles may start like a bad cold — with symptoms like a high fever and cough — but in rare cases, it turns deadly. For one child, complications emerged about a decade later, robbing her of speech, movement and, eventually, her life. Source: CBC

My fellow Ontarians : This is what happens when you don't go out to vote. This is what happens when you refuse to bring up politics at family gatherings. You end up with a Premier who is a corrupt goon who would rather a late night vote to change the law than be accountable to us, the people.

Deer My Friends I am eggcited to pass Bill 97 into law and its a grate bill because it pertects Ontario by makeen sure taxpayers cant find out what me and my rockstar ministurs are doing with all there tax dollars witch is good because I talk to milliuns of people on my phone every day. Premair
