Unclear exactly how much this has cost in total, but the wage cap battle alone was over 4.3M. If anyone wants to try to find out, here’s a handy a list of lost court battles to start with:

Good time to note that the Ford government has spent public funds to fight — and lose — legal battles over the following:
- Stopping Al-Quds Day (in Toronto)
- Bike lane removals (in Toronto)
- Public sector salary caps
- Third-party election spending limits
- Gas pump stickers

I am extremely disappointed that the court has refused to put a stop to Al-Quds Day, which has long been a venue for antisemitism, hatred, intimidation and the glorification of terrorism. While the judge cited Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms, when we talk about rights we need to be clear that every person has the right to safety and security. We need to be clear that no one in Canada has the right to incite violence or free licence to intimidate and hate. The judge also said that Toronto Police Service do not need an injunction to preserve the peace. That's unbelievable! If that's the case, I fully expect that the police will immediately intervene at the first sign of hate, violence or glorification of terrorist organizations. I won't stop working to put an end to the hatred and division that runs too rampant on Canada's streets. I won't stop working to protect the greatest province in the greatest country in the world.

Just a reminder: the government works for the people. We hire them (by voting), pay them (through taxes), and have the right to know what they do at work.

Global News has been engaged in a years-long transparency battle with Premier Doug Ford's office over his cell phone records. The government has lost a battle in court. The government is now changing the rules to neutralize the FOI. #onpoli

Yes, this is real. Yes, it's astonishing. Global TV, which airs 60 Minutes in Canada, uploaded the original version of Sunday's episode, including the Sharyn Alfonsi segment that Bari Weiss shelved. And now people all across the internet are watching the segment.

Inside CECOT (the 60 Minutes segment that was spiked yesterday) is available on Global TV app. It must have been delivered before the story was blocked. Watching it now.

This deeply intimate report on how Israeli surveillance technology has reshaped Palestinian life by @mrmhawish is absolutely gutting nymag.com/intelligencer/…
Mohammed R. Mhawish@mrmhawish
I spent sixteen months reporting this story. It was deep, painful, and at times unbearable. It follows how surveillance tech is rewriting Gaza in real time — and what it’s doing to the people inside it. Read in @NYMag nymag.com/intelligencer/…

@cseucharan Thank you for your thoughtful commentary on the current situation at Canadaland, Cherise. You provide valuable context to this discussion, which is very much needed.

A year ago, I quit my job at Canadaland. After many attempts to communicate with leadership, both as a reporter and president of the union, I no longer believed we agreed on what was responsible journalistic practice.
I’ve now listened to this series and remain concerned.

There exists a furious effort to deny that this is happening at all.

@cseucharan I miss hearing you (and the others) on Canadaland. It's unfortunate what CL has become because I listened to and supported it for many years. I appreciate your thoughts about the latest series.

The public deserves to come away with a clear understanding of facts and context. That's what journalism does. I have to believe it still means something.

Further, this surge happened before the protests started. To what extent can the protests be blamed? Where did the earlier increase come from? I'd love to know.
