God help us. This is disgraceful language coming from a Christian, or anyone with a soul. It was just as wrong to celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk as it is to celebrate that of Robert Mueller. May they rest in peace. And may we never forget that Jesus's message is about mercy.

They want us to look at this today so we're not looking at: - FOI legislation changes - school board takeover disasters - OSAP - jobs numbers - Science Centre - Convention Centre Island - Therme spa - ongoing Greenbelt RCMP investigation - SDF - etc. Mess everywhere. #onpoli

NEW - The Ford government will soon allow Ontarians to bring their own alcoholic beverages to designated outdoor public events, 680 NewsRadio has exclusively learned. The BYOB move is one the government believes will save people money & boost tourism. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/03/17/for…

Doug Ford is changing the law to block access to information from the Premier’s and Ministers’ offices through Freedom of Information requests. Let’s be clear - without FOI, we wouldn’t know the truth about the Greenbelt scandal, the Skills Development Fund, and so much more. Transparency matters. Ontarians deserve a government that answers to them, not one that hides in the dark. #onpoli

Dear World: Reasonable thoughtful Canadians are ashamed of Wayne Gretzky today. He does not speak for us. AND he is not our biggest icon nor our biggest, proudest success. 👇 He's lived in the United States the vast majority of his life. He's friends with our enemy, Donald Trump. So please stop calling him things like Canada's greatest or Canadian icon. That title belongs more properly with others. Sincerely, Most Canadians

“Tyler Watt, Ontario Liberal Critic for Training, Colleges and Universities was at the rally, calling on the Ford government to reverse its recent changes to Ontario student assistance program and tuition freezes.” “Ontario still has the lowest based-funding per student in the entire country. This was a crisis that was created by this government,” Watt said. chch.com/chch-news/stud…

. @OntLiberal created the program to help support the next generation, and a favourable grant to loan ratio for those who need it most. @fordnation changes will lead to a declining workforce, a stalled economy, stagnant growth, and suffering public institutions. Doug Ford wants to slash OSAP. Let's fix OSAP, ASAP. Show your opposition to Doug Ford's changes by signing this petition: change.org/p/hands-off-os…

Ontario hospitals are borrowing from banks just to survive. This is not what patients and health care workers deserve. Fund hospitals properly. Invest in access and prevention. Stop destroying our public health care system. @fordnation #onpoli ijb.utoronto.ca/news/why-ontar…

Mark Carney@MarkJCarney

Met with @PierrePoilievre today.    Canada’s new government is moving fast — and we need Parliament to move swiftly to deliver for Canadians.   We’ve put forward bills to strengthen bail and sentencing laws, build up a stronger economy, cut costs for the middle class, and protect Canadian workers.    This is an important time to be working together, and to pass the legislation Canadians are counting on.

NEW: Ontario’s transparency watchdog says she is beginning to use “firmer enforcement powers” in an effort to get ahead of the Ford government’s consistent use of personal devices for government business — a trend that’s being called “worrying.” globalnews.ca/news/11642086/… #onpoli

#ETFO is condemning the provincial government’s growing number of school board takeovers, calling the moves an unjustified overreach and a threat to local democracy in public education. In a statement released Friday, @etfopresident David Mastin said the Ford government is increasingly replacing democratically elected trustees with provincially appointed supervisors – a shift the union says removes community accountability and centralizes decision-making power at Queen’s Park. #onted #onpoli brightontoday.ca/2026/02/02/etf…
