Here's an OHIP 🧵 My mom who has stage 4 cancer is going through chemo treatments. If her temperature reaches a certain threshold she is supposed to check into the ER. She lives by herself, has no immediate family members in Canada except for me but I live in Kenora, Ontario

Why does it cost less to build a base on the moon than high speed rail from Toronto to Montreal

THIS IS A GAME CHANGER.

Anyone gonna say anything about Lebanon’s right to exist?

@TinaYazdani I thought Ford was all about us being “Open for Business”? How are we supposed to be open for business when we don’t have educated workers in the future?

NEW: Students accuse Ford government of “ruining their dreams” at another rally at Queen’s Park. But the minister says he’s not reconsidering OSAP cuts, calling the program unsustainable. Critics fire back: “you know what’s not sustainable? This stupid tunnel under the 401.”

I always have my vpn set to israel when I book flights and hotels Lufthansa just gave me a free business class upgrade because they're sorry about the holocaust

Hilariously, the water will be seized by TSA soon after they have handed this out.

@ColinDMello So let me get this straight, the “Transparency Watchdog” a neutral voice no matter who’s in charge is “politicizing” an action that Ford says he has nothing to hide. 😂

NEW: Premier Doug Ford is accusing the province’s transparency watchdog of “politicizing” his government’s crackdown on freedom of information laws, claiming he has “nothing to hide” but that he doesn’t want to risk publishing personal records. globalnews.ca/news/11744088/… #onpoli

@BenSteiner00 How much did the temporary stand cost of the total? And why is the total $157.9 amount so much for what was added?

The renovations at BMO Field are complete and added 17,000 seats to “Toronto Stadium.” It cost $157.9 million. Toronto City Council paid $132.9 million, while MLSE funded $25 million. The new stands will have fans this month for #CanMNT wakingthered.com/2026/03/24/227…

The breathtaking hypocrisy of this is off the charts. Trump’s ex-wife was killed too. But not by ISIS. She fell down the stairs at home. The day before she was to testify to his malfeasance. He buried her on his golf course. He was no longer with her at the time. He’d left her to shack up with his pregnant girlfriend. Who was donated to him by Jeffrey Epstein. When SHE gave birth he was sleeping with a Porn Star. But hey, Joe Kent remarried four and a half years after Isis killed the mother of his kids that he’d been raising alone…

my homie made a website that highlights all of doug fords lies/underspending/overspending and wow bro. I knew it was bad but this guy is criminal dougfordclownshow.ca

@DechampsAlan @NoJetsTO @TorontoStar It would greatly help Porter as well.

“The only clear beneficiaries [of jets at Billy Bishop Airport] would be the American investors who now own the island airport’s terminal facilities and gates.” #onpoli #topoli @NoJetsTO thestar.com/politics/polit… via @torontostar

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 SEC Enforcement Director Margaret Ryan who resigned last week, reportedly fought with agency bosses after calling for investigation into Trump family's misconduct.

Has @AnitaAnandMP responded to this by denouncing Hezbollah yet?

Lebanon faces an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba, with some 1 million forcibly displaced from the south. Just minutes ago i$rael issued an order to all civilians south of the Zahrani river to leave amid rumours of an impending large scale ground invasion But the I$raeli’s face fierce resistance with a record 64 operations on Sunday targeting groups of soldiers and military installations.

The air traffic controller cleared the fire truck onto the runway. Seconds later, the same controller screamed “stop, stop, stop.” The plane was doing 93 to 105 mph. Both pilots are dead. Everyone will frame this as controller error. One controller was simultaneously managing a United flight that aborted takeoff after an anti-ice warning, dispatching a fire truck across an active runway, and sequencing an inbound Air Canada landing at highway speed. At 11:40 PM. On a mandatory overtime shift at a facility that has been understaffed for years. A system that assigns one person that workload will produce exactly this outcome. The only variable is when. The FAA is short approximately 3,000 controllers. The headcount dropped 13% from 2010 to 2024 while flight volume rose 10%. Over 40% of the FAA’s 290 terminal facilities are understaffed. The New York TRACON, which manages the most congested airspace in America across LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark, has been chronically below target. Newark was operating at 59% of its staffing goal. LaGuardia handles 900 flights a day. The hiring pipeline is broken at every stage. Only 2% of applicants complete the full process. Training takes up to 6 years. The FAA Academy in Oklahoma City is a bottleneck, with roughly 35% of trainees washing out. Congress blocked legislation to build a second academy. In one recent hiring cycle, the FAA brought on 1,512 candidates and lost 1,300 in the same window. Net gain: around 160 controllers for an entire country. Three things need to happen and everyone who can make them happen has known for years. Congress needs to fund and authorize a second FAA training academy. One facility in Oklahoma City cannot produce enough controllers for 900 million annual passengers. Members of Congress from Oklahoma have actively blocked this. That needs to end yesterday. The FAA needs to cut certification time. Six years from application to fully certified controller is absurd. The agency’s own data shows tower simulators reduce certification time by 27%. They’ve installed them at 95 facilities. That should be every facility, and the simulated hours should count toward more of the certification requirement. The FAA needs to stop plugging staffing gaps with mandatory overtime. Controllers at understaffed facilities are working six-day weeks rotating between morning, mid, and night shifts. The NTSB has flagged fatigue repeatedly. The controller last night was managing overlapping emergencies during a nighttime operation. Overtime is not a staffing plan. It’s a countdown to the next runway collision. The controller said “I messed up” to a Frontier pilot who watched the whole thing. The pilot responded “No man, you did the best you could.” One of them is right. The answer determines whether this happens again.

@ColinDMello Yeah he’s correct, except he’s done a terrible job in all aspects of those topics too.

Premier Doug Ford defends his government’s FOI changes in the legislature claiming people in the province care more about the economy, jobs and dealing with Trump than transparency laws. #onpoli

Trump declares almost 50% of Americans to be public enemy number one – right after Iran. This is no longer politics; this is open civil war from the mouth of a president. Anyone who brands half of their own people – millions of ordinary Americans who simply vote differently – as the "greatest enemy" hasn't understood America; Trump hates it. This rhetoric isn't "tough," it's treacherous. It destroys precisely what makes America strong: the idea that Americans, despite all their differences, are one nation. Trump has just proven that he doesn't want to be president of all Americans – but merely the leader of a faction that considers the rest the enemy. Insane. And extremely dangerous.

Airlines are a good indicator of future trends.

Just incredible stuff.

UK police have requested the full Epstein files to prosecute Prince Andrew. If Bondi refuses to hand them over, she opens herself to obstruction claims from a foreign government. The files are no longer just an American problem.
