@integrity_to Call them what they are: fiscally-REGRESSIVE councillors. Never cede the high-ground and call them what THEY want to be considered. Language is power. #topoli

The “progressive” councillors sure do love spending public money. 💸

@integrity_to Based on his level of responsiveness (lack thereof), Perks must've not realized that he picked up a whole other constituency to represent on the other side of High Park after the 2018 ward realignment. 🤣 #topoli
Good riddance...

We welcome the news that city councillor Gord Perks will not be running for a sixth council term. Perks has been a polarizing councillor, demonstrating arrogant behaviour towards constituents and colleagues, stifling speech at the Planning and Housing Committee, violating housing rules himself, and having a reputation for being unresponsive to constituents. There’s a reason we called him ‘the poster boy for term limits.’ It’s time for a new voice to lead the good residents of Parkdale-High Park.

@brianlilley @grok how many Canadians typically attend Buffalo Sabres games?
English
@brianlilley Alternative headline:
"Ontarian Sabres fans pitch in to sing Canadian anthem when mike breaks."
Ho hum....
#cdnpoli

@globeandmail That's quite the "journalism-ing" by the Globe... giving the impression this was some grand gesture in cross-border international relations, versus the simple reality that a lot of Sabres fans are Canadian and regularly attends their home games. #cdnpoli

Americans showed their support for Canada in an unexpected way. After a technical issue, hockey fans in Buffalo chipped in to assist singer Cami Clune as she sang the Canadian national anthem. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

@markrmcqueen The media will parrot all of the government's talking points, and 40%+ of the electorate will automatically fall for it -- hook, line and sinker. #cdnpoli

For a government that prides itself on following the advice of the professionals, today is one of those “Hi, we’re from Ottawa and we know best” days.

We have long been advocates for a Canadian sovereign wealth fund. The Canada Strong Fund announced today by @MarkJCarney is not your traditional SWF. They are typically funded through surpluses, not debt, and focused on diversifying away from the revenue stream that funds them. This is more like a war bond – but instead of investing in debt, Canadian’s can buy equity in the projects that the government is working to get off the ground. Our memo for a sovereign wealth (published Apr 2025) offers a different vision. Here's what it could look like. buildcanada.com/memos/wealth-f… We are watching developments closely – we will share details as we have them.

Nine years ago, @JustinTrudeau launched the Canadian Infrastructure Bank: It was "tasked with financially supporting revenue-generating infrastructure projects that are 'in the public interest' by catalyzing private investment."
In 2026, the "new" @liberal_party gov't have found the solution to what's been holding Canada back: the lack of a "Sovereign Wealth Fund" that'll invest in infrastructure projects alongside the private sector!
Norway has zero effective national debt; that's why it can benefit from a true SWF. Ottawa & the Provinces already owe $2.5 trillion in debt; borrowing more to "invest" is just another margin loan backed by our Grandchildren.

@DavidColetto Now do a poll to see how many Canadians are financially illiterate. #cdnpoli

@ShaneWenzel The probability that no one would be listening to Ivison's opinions now, were it not for the taxpayer-funded Canadian Journalism Labour Tax Credit, is 💯.
English
Ivison’s "crazy" label is just code for the elites losing control. Calling solid pushback "paranoia" is such a classic media move. While they obsess over Carney’s fancy credentials, regular people are just drowning in Liberal debt. We don’t need an Oxford PhD to tell us this country is currently a total fiscal train wreck.
John Ivison@IvisonJ
Even a paranoid can have enemies but this is a first: former Conservative leader accuses the National Post of being in the tank for the Liberals.

@LichTamara @LionAdvocacy And an unelected judiciary that enables this behaviour.
English
@LionAdvocacy The issue is that there are no repercussions. Canadian governments are free to violate Canadians Charter Rights, can be found guilty, and then skip away with no consequences.

What is the legal term for a person who brazenly threatens to violate the law and a court order, and who threatens to hurt people or take their money if they go for a walk in the woods when he says not to?

"We'll do that again if necessary": Tim Houston, Premier of Nova Scotia defends his actions of banning the public from the province's forested areas despite a court ruling calling out his failure to consider Canadian's Charter rights.
English
@LionAdvocacy Atlantic 🇨🇦 is clueless of the reputational damage it's suffered at the hands of its authoritarian govts. First, a COVID Bubble that treated us as enemy aliens, then a province-wide hiking ban (and bragging about doing it again!). Why would I ever vacation there again? #cdnpoli

A lot of people feel like Toronto is getting dirtier, and not in a fun way – but some residents are questioning the motives of a local politician who is speaking out on the issue.
