Prime Minister Mark Carney announces a ‘grocery rebate’ (aka renamed GST credit) while admitting Canadians are struggling at the checkout. Then this: Standing in a FreshCo grocery store, he calls it ‘Hello Fresh’. 😆 Completely out of touch. Canadians don’t need more government cheques - we need lower taxes, less spending, and real relief on food prices. Video Cred: BeautifulCanada1 on TY.

@Mr_S_Ont The most important question isn’t being asked. Why are they there?

Anyone have a video of this many cops at a World Cup game with 40 000 fans inside the stadium and thousands more outside? Was there this many, I'm the same space, at the Raptors Championship parade?

The restaurant always had a smell that I loved as a kid. Hod dog and a vanilla shake was my order.

Two things can be true here. 1. Protesting an event like this is trashy and bush league. 2. Doug Ford is deeply unpopular and the Ontario PC party will be decimated if he stays on as leader. Time to go, @fordnation

@Secti0n31 @DYSPIDEY85 @ColinDMello Not the type of world I want to live in. We’ve lost basic respect and decorum.

@SquawkBoxSteve @DYSPIDEY85 @ColinDMello If you're a politician and you don't want to talk about politics.... don't go outside. Or quit your job.

Close to the stage Premier Ford, who was touting government investments, support for Scarborough and promised never to raise taxes, was consistently drowned out at Ford Fest. Ford immediately left. Staff highlighted safety for his quick exit. #onpoli

@DYSPIDEY85 @Secti0n31 @ColinDMello A community BBQ isn't the place.

@SquawkBoxSteve @Secti0n31 @ColinDMello Why is this not the place? We need to stop glorifying elected officials who do nothing for us, and host self-serving events to boost their own ego.

@WendyGoodes @OntarioPCParty Do you think they just showed up in that fashion for the fun of it or is there a reason? Maybe we should ask why he needs that much security?

@SquawkBoxSteve @OntarioPCParty Several officers would be more than sufficient.

Who’s paying for all this excessive police presence: taxpayers or the @OntarioPCParty?

@WendyGoodes @OntarioPCParty That’s not a solution to the security problem. What is your solution to this security problem?

@SquawkBoxSteve @OntarioPCParty Perhaps he should start listening to the majority of the people instead of being concerned with his own personal ambitions. This was excessive protection.

@Secti0n31 @ColinDMello The political extremes are too far apart to come together. The left is unwilling to talk.

@SquawkBoxSteve @ColinDMello You do realize that by putting us against each other, we're way less likely to actually confront THEM for doing that damage, right? Don't play into their hands.

@Prominent_Bryan Two things can be true. Ford is deeply unpopular and should make plans to make way for a new leader and protesting this event is trashy.

I think Ford might genuinely, finally be done Trudeau out Legault out Ford out That's it. The 3 leaders I couldn't stand gone. Beautiful

@WendyGoodes @OntarioPCParty What's your solution?

@SquawkBoxSteve @OntarioPCParty If he needs the amount of police protection that was on display tonight, then he has big problems. Drones, ATVs, horses, wall to wall guards, teams walking around with long rifles goes far beyond protecting a political leader.

@Secti0n31 @ColinDMello That's a tad on the extreme. These same upset people are the ones who ignore the ones who are doing real damage (Federal government)

@SquawkBoxSteve @ColinDMello Oh please. Everywhere is the place and now is the time. We've reached the point where if you don't speak up NOW there might not be much to speak for later. So that's what you're seeing here. And elsewhere.

@Secti0n31 @ColinDMello Your right. But, this isn’t the place. It’s bush league.

@SquawkBoxSteve @ColinDMello Y'all really don't understand, do you? It's possible to upset enough people, at the same time, to actually swing public opinion against you. As far as I can tell, the Fords have done this slowly and it's just adding up now. But I'm not canadian. That's just a guess 😎

@CarymaRules Trashy tactics.

Union protesters turn their backs on Premier Doug Ford during his speech at Ford Fest. The crowd chants “Worth Fighting For,” an OPSEU campaign to increase pay for frontline social services workers. 📸 Jun 19, 2026 #Toronto #ProtestMania

@1StarAtaTyme Turns out they were needed to rid the trash.

Nothing says Friday night family fun like a full-force foot-patrol at Ford Fest.

@Alan_S_Hale @waltonmom Trashy tactics.

Premier Doug Ford is getting shouted down by a huge crowd of striking OPSEU workers and supporters of Grassy Narrows First Nation at Ford Fest. Its impossible to hear his speech. #onpoli

Sorry, but if your religion allows husbands to treat their wives like this, maybe it’s time to have a conversation with yourself and realize your religion is not a religion of peace. It’s pure evil!

@8M7 @WendyGoodes @fordnation It’s trashy to crash an event like this.

@fordnation Why on earth would you be afraid of these elementary educators? Why the excessive police presence at your festival? You left because people waved flags, expressed disapproval and whistled? Honestly Trying to better understand why fleeing from ordinary voters happened.

@Smileyyeg I finished the entire course in a month. A supply teacher sent me to the office because I wasn’t doing any work. It’s because I didn’t have any left.

The entire mark in my typing class was based on improvement. The teacher was a bit dumb, and so if your speed improved by a certain percentage a month, she gave you 100%. I started the class typing purposefully very slow and aced it.
