Ont Premier Doug Ford has wasted a mandate. "... everyone knows that malicious Beijing operatives are filing FOI requests, waiting six years for a response, and then using that information nefariously against the people of Ontario"

De Niro: It doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat, a Republican, or an Independent—no one, no one voted for new wars. No one voted for higher prices at the pump. No one voted for higher prices in grocery stores. No one voted for higher prices in the housing market. No one voted for deporting our good neighbors, and no one voted for government-masked thugs shooting down our citizens in the streets.

A three-year-old company operating out of a WeWork with reportedly fewer than five employees is being considered for up to $25 BILLION in nuclear energy funds from a trade deal Trump brokered with Japan.
The company has never built a nuclear plant or completed a nuclear project of any kind.
What does this company bring to the table? The father of its CEO donated $2 million+ to Trump and the GOP, and one of its advisors is a former RNC co-chair and Trump appointee.
In this Administration, that’s apparently all you need.

Edna was born in Ethiopia and rescued by Israel in Operation Solomon in 1991. Violent antisemites dogged her life and eventually stole it. Horrific.

🕯️Edna Malkamo was on her way home from work in Ofakim when Hamas attacked the city. She was a therapist. Edna ran right into a firefight and the terrorists shot her and she crashed. Her husband said: “She would have wanted us to cling to life and not sadness.” Never forget.

I have been very critical of the federal government's response to the explosion in antisemitic crime in this country.
But I'll say this much, #cdnpoli: dedicating $10 million to protecting Jews where they worship is not nothing.
Ironically, I call for it in my new book:

Let’s talk about PATRIOTISM because the hypocrisy is staggering.
Donald Trump’s grandfather, Friedrich Trump, fled Germany to avoid mandatory military service. Bavarian authorities later expelled him in 1905 for dodging the draft and leaving the country illegally. He was literally deported and forced back to the United States.
Fast forward one generation.
His grandson, Donald Trump, avoided serving in Vietnam with a conveniently timed diagnosis of “bone spurs.”
The irony.
Trump is only in America because his draft-dodging grandfather was deported from his home country. His mother wasn’t even born in the United States. Yet he demonizes immigrants, pushes mass deportations, and beats the drums of war.
Meanwhile, Black Americans have fought and died in every war this nation has ever waged, from the Revolutionary War to the present day, often while being denied the very freedoms they were fighting to defend.
In my own family, four generations have served in the United States Armed Forces, my father, my uncles, my wife, my daughter, my cousins. Members of my family gave their lives serving this nation.
So how dare a man from a family lineage of draft dodgers question the patriotism of people whose families have shed blood for this country.
Imagine that.
A man willing to start wars…
whose own family history shows they were too afraid to fight in them.
