Jesus, is there no situation Ford can't make worse?

Toronto festival organizers say they will opt out of Doug Ford's “bring-your-own-booze” permit expansion, citing safety, liability and security concerns. The plan would allow people to bring their own alcohol to outdoor events such as neighbourhood festivals, art exhibits and farmers' markets.

#MorningVibe Compassion isn't political—it’s human. Caring for our world & the safety of everyone in it should be our common ground. Let’s prioritize peace and empathy over division. We all deserve a home where we can thrive.

Now that separatists have access to the voters’ list (containing contact information and address of every Albertan), they set up an internal search engine for looking up Albertans. This unprecedented illegal leak, aimed at helping them win the referendum, puts Albertans at risk. #ableg #cdnpoli

So upsetting

"Not allowed"???? I thought I lived in Ontario. Welcome to Ford's fiefdom. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

One year, two days later and we're going to need a very long scroll to list all the achievements of PM Carney and his team as they work to keep Canada strong and free. There hasn't been this much powerhouse energy and broad national planning and drive since WW11, I would posit. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli

Okay, this is significant! 🇨🇦🇨🇦 apnews.com/article/nato...

Forget border walls. The new national defense could be a restored wetland A team at the University of East London argues that "defensive rewilding" could stop invading armies more cheaply than concrete ever could—while doubling as a climate solution. www.anthropocenemagazine.org/2026/04/forg...

This poll found that only 27% of Ontarians approve of the job Ford is doing and 65% say that the province is on the wrong track. The poll also found that 65% have little or no confidence in Ford’s ability to manage taxpayer money. Only 30% trust him. www.cp24.com/politics/que...

Now that Alberta has been identified as a soft target for outside influence, you can bet on the disinformation campaigns to ramp up their activity. We hear them repeating the same talking points, identifying exactly where this lunacy is coming from.

Adrienne Arsenault: Did Doug Ford make life a little more difficult? #cdnpoli Mark Carney: With the ad? Yeah, well-- Yes, yes he did. Yes, he did. I mean, but he knows that. And Doug, don't yell at me for pointing out the obvious, but that was true.

The entirety of US Congress ERUPTS in a standing ovation when King Charles drops this line. #cdnpoli “Magna Carta is cited in at least 160 Supreme Court cases in 1789, not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to CHECKS AND BALANCES."

this is an absolutely extraordinary scoop by Guardian: Nigel Farage was given £5m by the crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne shortly before announcing he would stand in the 2024 British general election, the Guardian can reveal www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

What an ego. 🤣🤣🤣 Sorry, but this is now so over-the-top ridiculous. Can't even smile at his "subjects."

President Erdoğan’s rule has grown more repressive as he realizes he has no democratic path to power. But we are united in our resolve and determined to make Turkey a democratic republic worthy of its people.

FIRST TIME GUEST!! Carney is one of 48 heads of government or state that will be participating in the event. His engagement as a guest marks the first time a non-European country has taken part in the meetings. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Whether you like or dislike what’s said, free speech is at the heart of our democracy. Attacking it is a hallmark of authoritarianism. If there were ever a moment for the so-called “free speech warriors” to speak out, now would be the time.

He hates comedy because it speaks truth to power & a malignant narcissist can't handle that. Period. End of story. With many thanks to: @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social @colbertlateshow.bsky.social @latenightseth.bsky.social @thedailyshow.com 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

We should send them Maple MAGAts, in exchange for Americans whose values align with our own. Alas, not possible.

From within 10 minutes after Mark Carney sat down with the Orange Imbecile for their 1st meeting at the White House, Carney realized there and then that he was going to have to deal with a fucking imbecile. The look on his face was priceless!!!

Power to you Canada!!🇨🇦

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."

Well, if you had any doubt what totalitarian means...

👏👏👏👏

Dear King Charles Here's a photo to consider as you meet the man threatening our nation. It is of young Canadians putting their lives at risk in the Battle of Britain. I know Keir wants you to restore the "special relationship" with Trump. Canada was there from Day 1. Don't let us down.

So at this point it's clear that the alleged assassin never fired a weapon at anyone. Those shots were all "friendly fire" from our less than competent security personnel. bsky.app/profile/verm...

Odd, how a lone gunman failed to even enter a targeted room and no one was harmed—and Republicans go HYSTERICAL over the “tone” of Democrats. And yet heavily armed and masked fascists murdered two people at point-blank range in the streets of Minneapolis—and not a peep about the “tone” of the right.
