closing the Freedom of Information office immediately because my engineers told me the roof is about to collapse . if you want to see my texts you will have to wait until we rebuild the office inside a private mega-spa. taking the gravy plane that isn't mine to safety, stop calling me #OntarioOrban

How tragic that you could publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish a cartoon like this over and over again...

President Trump got along with Joe Rogan so well during his visit to the White House, that he let him try on his toupee. #DonaldTrump #JoeRogan

Ford government insider says Ontario government planning to spend $100M dollars on TV commercials to try to sell $29M private jet.

I am in Barcelona today to help unite progressive parties from around the world in a defense of democracy and a war against corruption. A first of its kind event. Necessary to beat back the forces of fascism.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

So we get multiple conflicting reports, including from Trump himself, that Vance is or is not leading the US delegation for peace talks on Tuesday, then we get multiple reports from Iran state media that they have no plans to attend peace talks on Tues & didn’t know about it.

WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/

Trump dismisses Epstein's "victims, the women or whatever," and claims they "didn't want to go under oath." Survivors don't ever owe the world proof of their pain. It's the abusers who should be swearing under oath.

Pope Leo XIV: Woe to those who manipulate religion in the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into filth. The world is being ravaged by tyrants, yet it is held together by a multitude of supportive brothers and sisters.

Kamlager-Dove: Stevie Wonder can even see how much this war is costing us. Prices have gone up, and this dude is wanting to spend $2 billion of your money every single day rather than help you. Fuck him.

It should be mandatory for every Republican in Congress & the admin to write out one week of groceries for a family of 4 - everything they need - then drive to a grocery store and put each item in a cart, then pay for those items with their own money, then get a full tank of gas.

Being an American is now more humiliating than being a North Korean. We are the butt of global jokes, as our country is being destroyed so the already rich can continue to loot what's left.

Like, for example, a Secretary of Defense citing a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction to promote wars of aggression.

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater. This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning. Never doubt your power to change the system.

Trump believes diet soda kills cancer cells, Dr Oz reveals https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/15/trump-diet-coke-soda-kills-cancer ↷ canadahealthwatch.ca/featured 🍁

Almost a year after the federal election, Mark Carney’s Liberals have secured a majority government. But what does that actually mean for average Canadians? And uh, is it…okay that he did this, primarily through floor crossings, a year after the election? I have thoughts:

We have a pretty good idea, JD

I’m criticizing this because it’s a bad public policy move, regardless of what “team” it comes from. Would you criticize it if Poilievre did it? Then you have to if Carney does it. I criticized it when Poilievre raised it as an idea, because it was wrong. Carney is smart enough to know it’s wrong.

Vance: “I’ve been a Catholic for 10 minutes. Ignore the Pope & pay attention to me”

Yeah, that's bad. Dumb populism. Think about it this way: If you had a pot of cash to hand out, who would you send it to? I'm guessing you wouldn't say: “Folks who drive a lot are obviously the neediest; that's who deserves my cash.. Also, I would love to subsidize reliance on foreign oil.”

JD Vance only converted to Catholicism in 2019. He's been Catholic just as long as a class of second graders who just took their First Communion. If Vance disagrees with the actual pope, he's free to fuck off and find a yet another faith he can cynically exploit for his own political career.

CUPW members had a brief encounter with Prime Minister Carney in Montreal. We delivered a clear message: the future of Canada Post must be shaped by the public with a transparent, inclusive mandate review and built on service expansion, not cuts #CanLab #HandsOffMyPostOffice

Klein: I agree that it is a revolutionary technology, that it is going to transform our economy on the scale of the Industrial Revolution. But unlike the Industrial Revolution, which created huge numbers of jobs, the goal of this revolution is to eliminate jobs.

Gas tax breaks are bandaids at best. Real solution is to help low & middle-income Cdns get off fossil fuels. Invest in solar, heat pumps, batteries, EVs. Tackle barriers, offer real incentives & fund w/ windfall tax on Big Oil (who are laughing all the way to the bank). Cleaner, cheaper, healthier.

Grocery giants just can’t help themselves. Underweight meat. Overweight profits. Canadians are sick and tired of being ripped off. A public option for groceries is overdue. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Striking that the Liberals and Conservatives offer the same response to pain at the pump: siphon money out of the public purse instead of Big Oil’s profits.

Call me crazy but I don't love the new reality of Canada essentially being run by the Conservative Lite™ Party with only the Conservative Normal™ Party to fecklessly scream at them for the next three years! It's not, I think, ideal!

A true Trumpanzee arguing with the judge that the year is 2027.

Senator Rick Scott: "All government does it mess up your life. Government is always the problem."

Just gonna skirt around who killed the Canadian citizen and both sides an unprovoked invasion.

Sanders: The Wall Street Journal reported recently that Jeff Bezos wants to raise $100 billion to automate factories in America and around the world. It means there will no longer be manufacturing jobs in the United States.

It’s almost like a coordinated talking point went out on Red Cross doctor Jesus H. Trump.

I don't think it's ethical to build a majority government through floor crossings and I think democracy works better when we have minority governments with opposition MPs working together to best reflect the interests of Canadians who voted them in and scrutinizing legislation

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”. This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

Pam Bondi was subpoenaed to appear before the Oversight Committee today. This was not a “pretty please.” This was a LEGALLY BINDING congressional subpoena. If she does not make arrangements to appear immediately, we will move to hold her in contempt.

This may be the stupidest climate denial talking point of all time

Trump is steering towards a confrontation with China. Will he blink? Trump’s blockade is getting an immediate test. A Chinese tanker has cleared the Strait of Hormuz. Will the US seize it? If the US does, is that an act of war? If it doesn’t, does the blockade collapse? This is a scary moment.
