@TristinHopper And they will say Yes because they personally have never had a problem. And call you a racist. And tell you that you're negative for saying anything is bad

Ask them if they trust the health system to help them when they get sick. Ask them if they expect to receive justice if a loved one is murdered. Ask them if they trust the people entering this country like they used to.

@ShepJoel In the animated version of Mulan, she had to prove herself, face challenges, struggle and succeed in earning the respect of her fellow soldiers In the live action version they gave her magic so there was no struggle, nothing to overcome It was so disappointing

In the first two Terminator films, Sarah Connor was a screwup - a terrified out-of-her-depth civilian in the first one, and a cold, ruthless warrior in the second. In both, she undergoes a character arc, and emerges different from when she went in. Ripley has less arc in the first Alien, where she just needs to survive, but in the second one, James Cameron again gives her a trauma arc that she spends the movie overcoming. Ending with her finally getting a decent night's sleep on the Sulaco (realistic or not, given what just happened) because, the movie says, at least she overcame her oldest demon - the alien, and saved Newt, thus making her life whole again. People liked these characters because they were flawed individuals who overcame their personal issues. The problem with 'girl bosses' is that there's nothing wrong with them, ever. Thus, there's no character arc for them to travel on, no satisfying, dramatic resolution, and everything becomes bland, one-note and predictable. There are certainly many critics today who take the DEI criticisms too far, and label any film/TV show with a fighting woman as political correctness, whether it's true or not. But the biggest point of Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley is that they've ALWAYS been favorites of the same people who today dislike DEI, and the ones they point to as 'why can't female action characters today be more like them'? And they're right.

@RomanFisher__ People have to be a Canadian Citizen and have lived in Canada for only 10 years from age 18 to qualify for OAS Only 20 years if they are living outside of Canada when they start collecting Can we change that while we are at it?

Whoever is willing to slash the clawback threshold for OAS and message it well to the public will win the youth vote with insane margins. The premise that an elderly couple, where each person is making $96k, is eligible for full OAS benefits (over $18k combined) is inexcusable.

@DonaldBestCA @OPP_News Does the daughter have Power of Attorney over health matters? Is that how a court order was obtained to remove him? He seems to be clear that he doesn't want to leave and if he has a care plan with his son then I'm not understanding why he would be forced to leave

Take a 102-year-old man from his home in Canada and you risk never seeing him alive again. That’s the MAID reality families fear. @OPP_News show up in Tillsonburg with a court order. Son: “Not opening the door. Break it if you have a warrant. It’s under appeal.” The father is clear: he’ll die where he chooses. He sounds clear and rational to me. The dispute? Sister wants the farm. Father wants to stay. She alleges dementia, son says he is clear and rational. Police are caught in the middle. But enforcing a Thursday night order on Good Friday with no time for legal response is dirty pool. In the end the officers leave because they are not going to kick down the door and the son knows it. The son also says he doesn't trust the police or the courts. These days, I don't blame him at all.

@marissenmark Just because someone disagrees with you and doesn't want to spend billions on a vanity project, doesn't mean they are bots Why is that the knee jerk reaction of so many Liberals? Your arrogance doesn't allow you to think that people might disagree with you for valid reasons?

The number of bots and anonymous/fake accounts coming out in full force against high speed rail in Canada is a sight to behold.

@shira_mari_camp A beautiful baby 😍 Congratulations from 🇨🇦 ! Glad mom & baby are doing well ❤️

昨日4/2にうちの嫁が日本人人口1名増やしました！！🎉🎊 無痛分娩予定でしたがまさかのお産がすすまず緊急帝王切開に…😭 嫁もベビも頑張ってくれました☺️ ベビと嫁の回復に少し時間がかかり今のご報告です🙇‍♂️ まだまだ術後なので嫁は痛みなど大変ですが母子ともに元気です！！😆

Tell me something funnier than the Prime Minister saying “we must deal with the world as it is, not as we wish it to be”… and then using tax payer money to fund the projects he wants for the world as he wants it to be.

@AppleDoomsday @NeilPasricha @MarkJCarney Isn't the pic on the right of the RESA a current project that was already approved by City council to meet Transport Canada safety requirements for existing aircraft already in use at Billy Bishop? And local groups fought against that too

@NeilPasricha @MarkJCarney Total B.S. from @NeilPasricha, the map to the left is total horsesh!t The 'extension' is to the right. Total b.s. clickbait

Dear Prime Minister Mark Carney (@markjcarney), I was on the Toronto Ferry last year staring at our majestic waterfront. I saw paddlers, kayakers, dragon boaters, sailors, windsurfers, fishers, paddleboarders, water taxis, and cruisers all sharing the space in harmony. When we docked at Hanlan’s Point on the Toronto Islands I was surrounded by hikers, joggers, cyclists, birders, picnickers, swimmers, photographers, beachgoers, frisbee golfers, naturalists, and thousands of tourists and locals enjoying this lush ecological paradise surrounded by our sparkling freshwater lake. Please don’t destroy this by paving Lake Ontario. Three weeks ago Ontario Premier Doug Ford (@fordnation) announced he will "seize" Toronto’s Billy Bishop Airport (YTZ) in order to expand runways into Lake Ontario (1), bring in jets against the legal contracts governing the airport (2), and nix 14,000 mixed-use homes slated to go up on the shore (which taxpayers have already spent $1.4B developing). (3,4) Although this decision is not his to make — Billy Bishop is governed by the City of Toronto and the federal government (5) — Premier Ford says he will overrule the City to "bring in jets one way or another." (6,7) Premier Ford says he has the "full support" of your federal government to do this. (8) Prime Minister Carney: It is not too late. Please say no to expanding Billy Bishop airport into the lake. We don’t need this, we don’t want this, and we can’t afford this. We don’t need this. We can already go anywhere we want to go. I live right in downtown Toronto. I can be anywhere I want in the world, tomorrow. I can walk to bus, subway, streetcar, and UP express stations from my house and I fly 40x per year. In the past year I have been to over 35 airports on 3 continents and YYZ is one of the absolute best. In fact, in the past month it has won "Best Airport Staff in North America" (9), been ranked 4th in all of the Americas in efficiency (out of 50 airports) (10), and won Best Large Airport on the entire continent (an award it's won eight times in nine years.) (11) Right this second, checking Uber, I can get from my house by car to Toronto’s Pearson International Airport (YYZ) in 21 mins and to Toronto’s Billy Bishop Island Airport (YTZ) in 14 mins. Right this second, if someone at Union Station wanted to get to YYZ on public transit it would take 28 minutes (UP Express) and to YTZ would take 22 minutes (TTC streetcar). We are talking about a 6 minute time savings here. If we want to serve southwestern Ontario’s population with expanded jet service we simply need to use the 7000m of existing, high-capacity, under-utilized jet runways within 2 hours of Toronto at Hamilton (@flyYHM ), Waterloo (@flyYKF), and London (@flyYXU) versus entertaining a "special economic zone" to force a jet-strip into the most environmentally sensitive and densely populated waterfront in the country. We don’t want this. This tiny speck of ecological paradise provides critical respite from our dense and urban concrete jungle and is vital for mental health, community, and happiness. Over 400 peer-reviewed studies show urban forests and parks mitigate depression and anxiety and enhance overall mental well-being. (12) I know you agree because four days ago on March 31, 2026 you announced your "Force of Nature" strategy with the vision of "protecting, restoring, and valuing nature." This wonderful program declares a federal investment of $3.8 billion dollars into "protecting critical habitats and aligning industrial strategies with biodiversity conservation." (13, 14, 15) Also, I looked into the runway expansion into the lake that Premier Ford has promised. Right now the shortest jet runway in Canada is 1832m (YHM Hamilton, ON) and the shortest jet runway in the world is 1508m (LCY London City Airport, UK). There are also new Canadian Aviation Regulations (RESA) stating all runways need to add 150m on each end for safety. (16, 17, 18) Today the Billy Bishop runway is 1216m. (19) Even the most conservative assumption — building the shortest jet runway in the entire world! — still requires a minimum of 600m more runway to land jets. Here is a current aerial view of Billy Bishop Airport. (Photo 1 / attached) Here is an aerial view of Billy Bishop Airport with the smallest possible runway extension of 600m added. (Photo 2 / attached) (Of course this photo doesn’t include additional parking, hangers, gates, aprons, tarmacs, fueling stations, de-icing stations, blast fences, control towers, baggage carousels, taxi pickups … ) We can’t afford this. Premier Ford was first elected in 2018 as the right wing candidate (PC) with 40.5% of the vote (left wing side of NDP and Liberal was 53.2%) and campaigned as a fiscal conservative. (FN) He attacked the Liberals for their $6.7B deficit and vowed a "return to balanced budgets" that would "begin in 2019." (20, 21) Since then Premier Ford has won two more elections — with a nearly identical right / left vote split and record lows in voter turnout — and has now presided over 8 budgets. (22, 23) In order from 2019 to 2026 those eight budgets have been for *deficits* of $8.7B, $16.4B, $13.5B, $5.9B, $5.6, $1.1B, $12.3B, and, most recently, just announced last week on March 26, 2026, coming in at a 77% increase on his own 2025 forecasts, $13.8B. (24, 25) Since Premier Ford was elected he has *increased* Ontario’s debt from $338B to $485B. Ontario now pays $17.2B a year … just in interest payments. (26, 27, 28) Notably, Premier Ford’s most recent $13.8B deficit budget does not include any money for the projected $1-2B cost of expanding Billy Bishop airport. (Prime Minister, you and Premier Ford are both 61 and have a seemingly warm relationship despite wildly different education and business paths. (29, 30, 31, 32) Might you have time for some evening finance tutorials?) Prime Minister Carney: We don’t need this, we don’t want this, we can’t afford this. Please say no to this expansion plan. Please allow the legal agreements governing the airport to remain in the hands of those who legally own it — the City of Toronto and the federal government — and not with Premier Ford’s provincial government who is attempting to autocratically rule something in which it has no stake. At the Junos six days ago on March 29, 2026 you praised 82-year-old @jonimitchell and justifiably called her "one of the greatest artists of all time." (33) Joni warned us about "paving paradise to put up a parking lot" and now that’s exactly what Premier Ford is proposing we do. The Toronto Harbour, Toronto Harbourfront, and Toronto Islands are a crown jewel for the functioning of our great city, our great province, and our great country. Would New York City pave over Central Park? Would Paris put runways on the Seine? We absolutely should not pave the paradise of Lake Ontario to put up runways and parking lots we don’t need, don’t want, and can’t afford. It's not too late. Please say no.

@caramelcomplec1 @NeilPasricha @MarkJCarney @cityofhamilton I used to fly WestJet out of Hamilton all the time. It was great, way better than having to go to Pearson But WestJet moved most of their flights to Pearson to have more gates & more flights to compete better against Air Canada

@NeilPasricha @MarkJCarney I wouldn't volunteer Hamilton, Waterloo and London, ON Airports as an alternative. I highly doubt their residents and municipal governments want jets either. Especially @cityofhamilton

@MikePMoffatt I'm still trying to figure out the logic of someone being eligible for GIS when they are 60, if their spouse is already getting GIS but as a single person I'm not eligible until 65 So if your household is already getting money, you can get more, earlier? What?

Governments force young middle-class homebuyers to pay 100K+ in HST, DCs, LTTs etc. on an entry-level townhome, because homeownership is a "luxury", while also paying seniors over $80 bilion a year in OAS/GIS, the vast majority of which goes to homeowners. Make it make sense?

@kpac_15 A lot of their reasoning for wanting it seems to be "because it's really cool" Yeah, I'm sure riding in a Lamborghini might be really cool too but I don't want to pay for some asshole in Quebec to drive one when I'm already struggling to pay my bills 🤷

Change Canada?? How the F does this affect tax payers in Calgary besides emptying our wallets exactly? Full pass. Let Ontario and Quebec pay for this shit. Which still means Alberta pays for it. Put it in trash bin where it belongs.

@JonFraserTF @anhkhoido Annual ridership for their smallest line is 17 million That's about 3 million more than the total population of the GTA, Ottawa, Montreal Metropolitan area and Quebec City combined And it's not profitable, it gets subsidized by the larger lines and govt

And what's your point? They understand how to make HSR practical. Their cities are densely built with excellent transit systems. They are also able to build at half the estimated cost per km that Alto is proposing. They don't have the corruption and red tape that we have in Canada.

The Japanese have 100x (at least) more density than Canada. HSR makes economic sense there. They are also capable of building infrastructure efficiently and without corruption.

@Jericho1545653 @JonFraserTF It has the smallest ridership at 17 million per year that's more than the total population of GTA, Ottawa, Montreal Metropolitan Area and Quebec City combined. Only appears profitable because it's subsidized by larger routes and govt held the debt when they privatized

@JonFraserTF The Kyushu Shinkansen line doesn't touch Tokyo and is profitable. It has a population density of about 600 per sq km in it's catchment area. A line between Toronto and Montreal would have a population density of about 500 per sq km in it's catchment area. It can work.

@TheophanesRex @VRLowKey Incredible They have only a few meetings a year, produce an annual report, pay for continued monitoring and database management And pay "capacity funding" to each FN for participating of up to almost $1M in one case Still have no plan & will need more $ once they have a plan 🤦

@VRLowKey Status of Grassy Narrows mercury remediation project as of March 2025 after spending $38 million over 7 years: “The Panel has heard and understands concerns that remediation has yet to begin and there remains no remediation plan or timeline.” ontario.ca/page/2024-2025…

As @TheophanesRex knows well, the govt uses it internally to spend on consultants who are often former govt employees. We're still waiting on the $85M from the Ontario govt for indigenous water.

@SherryDyck @mario4thenorth @Gogetemgirls On Steven's website he shows the majority of his business interests in the UK, with one co-business in LA He also recently received awards/recognition for being a top UK creator "highlights his role as a leading entrepreneur and media figure in Britain"

@mario4thenorth @Gogetemgirls During the podcast Steven said he lived in LA. I think the Podcast is #1 in the UK… but the guy is now based in LA.

🚨 BREAKING MISINFORMATION The Toronto Star says Poilievre went on “another US podcast.” The Diary of a CEO is hosted by Steven Bartlett. A British entrepreneur. Based in the UK. It’s the biggest podcast in EUROPE. These are the people who think they’re qualified to tell you what’s misinformation. They can’t even Google where a podcast is from before publishing a headline. 🤣 This is Canadian media in 2026. Writing hit pieces they didn’t even fact-check.

@Prominent_Bryan "Why does my mom always buy meat and bread but never caviar and champagne?"

"if it's such a great project why isn't the private sector financing it?" Why is this question valid for a train but never ever used for a road or a bridge?

@TheophanesRex So we still don't know what happened to the $85M and nothing has been cleaned up That is sad

@Invisible_plane Sadly, no. The only difference between my federal and provincial representatives is that the MP’s office bothers to respond to my emails, whereas the MPP’s office seems to have blocked my email address (as I don’t even get the automated reply saying that they received my email).

@TheophanesRex Have you gotten anywhere with any level of government about Grassy Narrows and the Dryden mercury poisoning? This woman has been trying for 30 years Indigenous woman Carney said he could 'outlast' was born with mercury poisoning share.google/SuunoOClSnayNp…

@JayGenXer They think Cons are bad, racist, homophobic and want to take away abortion. Because they listen to CBC and 🇺🇸 MSM They dislike Poilievre for "being mean & rude" in Parliament and "negative" "Canada is not broken!" Also Trudeau was "so handsome" No clue why they like Carney

Hey Canadians 🇨🇦 One thing that keeps coming up after Pierre Poilievre’s Diary of a CEO interview is his personal story — adopted as a baby, raised by school teachers in a humble middle-class home, his father later came out as gay, and he married Anaida, who came to Canada as a refugee from Venezuela. Yet a lot of people seem to really dislike him… while praising Justin Trudeau (raised with every advantage as the son of a former Prime Minister) and Mark Carney (the wealthy former banker). How did so many in Canada end up feeling that way? What do you think drives that difference in how people see them? Drop your honest thoughts below 👇 I’m reading every comment. #Poilievre #CanadaFirst

@marissenmark The annual ridership on one of their smallest lines is more than 🇨🇦s entire population. Even after privatization it still needed government subsidies "This is a critical lesson for other countries tempted to also build such obsolete projects" share.google/Dy8CQZ9nG5dc6z…

I just came back from a trip to Japan. The Japanese could figure out how to provide their citizens high speed rail. There’s no reason why we can’t. Don’t let Pierre Poilievre deny Canadians high speed rail. If we need help and advice from the Japanese, let’s get it.
