With the passing of Bill 60, @fordnation has given itself broad regulatory powers that allow for the privatization of water and wastewater without legislative debate. I'm old enough to remember Walkerton. Our water — our health — isn't for sale. thetrillium.ca/news/municipal…


The defining characteristic of @fordnation, besides his unending obsession with Toronto and its waterfront, is his systematic overriding of transparency and meaningful consultation. He continually imposes his will on communities and people without evidence or input.

Canadians are being crushed by the cost of living while those at the top hoard obscene wealth. We need a government with the courage to tax that wealth and invest it in what we actually need: Housing. Healthcare. Education. Infrastructure. Good-paying, unionized jobs. That’s how we build a strong, independent economy that can stand up to Trump and work for all of us.




When I sat in the hollowed seats of the United Nations in July of 1981 as a 21 year old, never did I ever envision that 45 years later, the US First Lady, an ex call girl who was friends and former bed mate with the head of the biggest child sex trafficking ring in US history, would be sitting in the same chamber, representing the American people. Sent there by her convicted sex offender, 34 times convicted felon, insurrectionist, traitor and peadophile husband, the President. Who just started a war with Iran to hide his and his rich powerful friends involvement with child sex trafficker Jeffery Epstein.

AXWORTHY: "If you want to talk about an evil man, [Trump's] an evil man. There's no question about it. And he is doing everything in his power to totally create this disruption that the Prime Minister has talked about in the world."

I am no fan of Keir Starmer. But if he stands up to Trump & prevents the UK from entering into another potentially disastrous military conflict in the Middle East, he will gain respect for that. It’s time for him to channel Hugh Grant in Love Actually.


JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 President Trump calls on the Iranian people to take over their government.
