Doug Ford is NOT the team player he claimed he was in this morning’s live tv interview. Yet, he blamed other politicians for creating misinformation. The only “misinformation” is coming directly from our Premier’s mouth. Dark tragedy.

Nearly 350 people from Whitesand First Nation and neighbouring unincorporated communities of Armstrong and McKenzie Lake are sheltering at a Thunder Bay hotel and wondering if their homes will still be standing when they return. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/07/19/ont…

The disgraceful abandonment of #Indigenous communities in northern Ontario that are threatened by #wildfires. These are the same communities that are being bullied and cajoled into agreeing to destructive mining projects. ricochet.media/indigenous/aba…

"Si no obedecen, si no colaboran y dejan de resistirse, va haber más derramamiento de sangre del ICE, así que cierren la boca y no se quejen cuando el ICE hace cumplir la ley." Tom Homan, jefe de deportaciones de la Casa Blanca, amenazó con más "derramamiento de sangre" de su Gestapo si la población inmigrante se niega a ser deportada. ¿A qué me suena todo esto de "o colaboras con la deportación o habrá sangre"? Ah sí, a la época del Gueto de Varsovia... el fascismo vuelve a las deportaciones, a la persecución racial y a las ejecuciones extrajudiciales pero muchos aún no lo ven venir.

This is a picture of Gaza on the left, and a picture of Lebanon on the right. What is happening in Palestine and Lebanon is a genocide and ecocide. This is the greatest test of the world order, and the whole world failed it. One day, everyone will have always been against this. Solidarity that arrives after the fact is not solidarity—it is hypocrisy.

Canada is burning. Norway is breaking heat records. This isn’t a natural disaster; it’s a policy failure. While boreal forests turn to ash, policymakers continue to hand out billions in fossil fuel subsidies. We aren't just witnessing a tipping point—we are witnessing state-sanctioned climate collapse. 🧵

Iran is very smart, it is reducing the US military the ability of restocking and support too easily locally, that’s now a very expensive and unpredictable protocol. The most vulnerable is the navy and they know it too well. Every carrier needs 10,000 men.

But what about #oilandgas profits?

BREAKING: In a stunning and deeply alarming move, the Postmaster General has announced that the USPS will REFUSE to deliver mail-in ballots for the 2026 midterm elections to any state that does not comply with Donald Trump’s so-called “election integrity” executive order. Let that sink in. This is a direct attack on voting rights and a blatant attempt to strong-arm states into submission by threatening Americans’ access to the ballot box. The Postal Service….an institution meant to serve EVERYONE—is now being weaponized to influence elections. Democracy is not optional. Voting is not conditional. And no president gets to decide who can and cannot participate in our elections. This should outrage every American, regardless of party.

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani says Israeli PM Netanyahu is "a war criminal" charged by the International Criminal Court. He says he's consulting the Law Department on whether NY police could arrest Netanyahu during his September visit. 🔴 Live updates: aje.news/btz9aq

850+ fires are burning — and gov’t continues to rollback climate policy & spend taxpayer $ on a new oil pipeline. “We’re now actively betting against a global energy transition from the fossil fuels contributing to these events.” #cdnpoli #abpoli #onpoli buff.ly/2ktD0u6

It merits mentioning that Ontario's Indigenous minister Greg Rickford was also not present for the provincial government's visit to Thunder Bay, although the premier, the local member, and two other cabinet ministers attended.

Federal Minister of Emergency Management Eleanor Olszewski is defending Ottawa's response to Ontario wildfires, stating she does not believe anything went wrong. This comes despite an Assembly of First Nations resolution claiming governments failed to provide sufficient evacuation support, citing the Namaygoosisagagun First Nation's forced escape by small boat — CBC News

Fort William First Nation Chief Michele Solomon says not only was she not contacted when Premier Doug Ford visited Thunder Bay under wildfire smoke today, but the PC leader has never contacted her for any visit to Thunder Bay. FWFN is adjacent to Thunder Bay, just across a river.
