Pretty fed up with this app - all it spews & amplifies is alt-right political propaganda and conspiracy theories, touted as 'non-MSM news'. I'll migrate to alternate platforms (Mastodon perhaps?) - if you would like to connect, find me online elsewhere. In the meantime, bye X.

Ford's attack on the Greenbelt is not about providing homes to the families and individuals who just want a decent place they can afford in the city they grew up in. It is about making wealthy speculators even wealthier. Affordable housing is not his concern.

@Galadriel902 @CowynW @loveyourcake They're obviously advocating for a more 'left' leaning approach to economic growth, but there's loads of literature out of Europe to demonstrate economic benefit long-term to subsidized childcare. I hear you re: saving to have kids. We did the same. I still support the subsidy.

we paid $455 for TWO kids to be in daycare for the month of December. Is this real life? Three cheers for your hard earned tax dollars being put to our use. I love you all.

@fact_factoid @TruthLion100 @CP24 If only the Conservatives hadn't stripped funding from health care and social supports back in the 90's... If only the Liberals had been able to reverse that legislation... If only DoFo weren't about to do the same thing now. Get a clue

@CP24 Why are ppl surprised by this? All the clowns claiming this is because of "Liberals": The # of mentally-ill ppl is through the roof & it is DIRECTLY as a result of cuts to healthcare & social supports - executed 1st by the Harris gov't (remember him?), & then subsequent leaders.

@KarenTh31102647 @bondo_joe @TheTorontoSun As stated in the article "Conservative MPs have said it would affect a number of hunting rifles and shotguns" - so not all hunting rifles, just a select number, as Karen alluded to in previous tweets. So yes, what's the issue here? You still get to hunt.

@bondo_joe @TheTorontoSun I guess that means there would no hunting, unless it’s bow hunting. I think that would create a huge problem if they did that?

Who needs TV when you can watch Twitter become the wild west of alt-right, hyper-individualistic selfishness, all the while being unable to load pictures or replies because... oh I give up, goodnight. #RIPTwitter

@elonmusk Which Russian oligarch did you get involved with, Elon?

To independent-minded voters: Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic.

@CalltoActivism #VoteBlueToday because if you didn't just see the breaking news, a Russian oligarch (Prigozhin) has just admitted that Russia is meddling in US elections...

HELL YES: #VoteBlueToday has reached 2 BILLION views on Twitter. Can we get 500 fast replies with the hashtag so West Coast voters keep seeing it?

10 days ago I researched the mayoral candidates in #TO. Penalosa, Punwasi & Brown stood ojt, but then I watched the CARP debate and DANG. @chloebrownTO actually has an idea about how to EXECUTE her policies, not just put out pretty press releases. Pls check her out & #vote!

I’m not sure what this govt has against farmers, but we can’t pave over the farmland that feeds us. Ontario is losing over 319 acres of farmland a day to urban sprawl & Hwy 413 will pave over a further 2000 acres while unleashing sprawl development on thousands more. /3 #onpoli

@PassportCan @Abby36394537 See your tweet from 2018 where Passport Canada proudly stated that uncles, aunts, and cousins qualify as references (given the other requirements are also met): twitter.com/PassportCan/st…

@PassportCan @Abby36394537 So this tweet flies in the face of earlier tweets that VERY CLEARLY state you can use an uncle or aunt as a reference. I'm trying to help someone with their application right now and have no idea whether they can or cannot use their aunt as a reference. Would you please clarify?

I get it: patience is in short supply for TPA officers bc of the BS constantly thrown at them, so I resisted being anything short of understanding. But honestly, where's the compassion? I'd guess that a TPA officer who has lived the #chestfeeding or #pumpingmom life would waited.

from my street parking spot (that my 3 hours of paid parking had JUST expired on) before he finished ticketing the guy behind me, or I would also be ticketed. After moving my car and inquiring further, got a "that's the way the bylaws are set up". 🙄 (2/3)

I could literally scream/cry with frustration. Sitting in car, one boob half-out setting up my @willowpump and TPA comes along. Explain that I just need ✌️ mins and will be on my way. Told by @cityoftoronto parking enforcement officer that if I failed to move my vehicle (1/3)

The fact that when Rogers goes out, it knocks out ATMs, Non cash payment abilities, 911 services, internet and mobile from almost all of Canada should be the warning sign that monopolies put Canadian citizens at unnecessary risk

Calling on all conference organizers and professional scientific societies - please do not organize conferences in states that restrict women’s rights. I will certainly not attend and I urge other scientists to not attend. Yes, I know there are also good people in these states 1/
