Can Toronto area MPs clarify whether Ford indeed has your support to destroy tens of thousands of housing units while stripping away our environmental rights & protections for jets? @RunChiNguyenRun @EvanLSolomon @juliedabrusin @JulieDzerowicz @kbardeesy @j_maloney #cdnpoli

@fordnation Definitely NO.

Expanding Billy Bishop Airport will bring new routes, cheaper flights and more convenient travel to millions of Ontario families, while creating thousands of jobs in our tourism, aviation and construction sectors. In the face of President Trump’s tariffs, we need to do everything we can to unlock Ontario’s full economic potential, including by upgrading vital transportation infrastructure like airports and seaports.

@lawandchocolate @TorontoStar He is trying to secure support from Maple Maga before the race to replace PP starts.

This is, to be blunt, disgusting. Doug Ford should retract this comment or resign. Doug Ford suggests judge should apologize to Toronto cops in Umar Zameer case — ‘That’s the first step’ thestar.com/politics/provi… via @torontostar

@SwanBoatSteve @jackhauen We would be in a completely different situation (ie, better) if the provincial government had actually listened to the public calls all those years ago for Clean Trains Now.

@jackhauen This report couples with questions over just what "GO Expansion" entails beyond a lot of track construction. There has always been a problem with Metrolinx that it's become a construction company, not a transit agency. Dougie can draw line on maps, but no trains.

Breaking: Metrolinx’s GO train fleet is in "poor" condition and assets could "begin to fail" this year, according to an internal draft report. #onpoli thetrillium.ca/news/municipal…

@g_meslin @NoJetsTO @liberal_party Someone should arrange a test run/fly-over just so everyone will understand just how stupid this idea really is.

Apparently somebody thinks it would be a great idea to fly commercial jets here.

@fordnation NO! Stay in your lane. Stop trying to be the Mayor of Toronto. We have a large airport called Pearson. Let’s stick with that. Maybe you could focus a little more on education and healthcare instead of an endless series of things no one ask for.

Expanding Billy Bishop Airport is just common sense and we’re going to get it done. It will mean less gridlock at existing airports, cheaper flights to more destinations and thousands of new, good-paying jobs for workers from across Ontario.

Can’t say enough good things about Strongmen by ⁦@ruthbenghiat⁩. Amazingly thorough history of tyrants that removes any confusion about the Donald’s actions. Published in 2020, it clearly needs to be read by more people because he still managed to win a second term.

@ruthbenghiat Just picked up a copy of your book Strongmen today from the Toronto Public Library after seeing your interview with James and Al a couple of weeks ago. There was a waiting list! Really looking forward to reading it.

Strongmen, like Trump, live in constant fear of being held accountable — which is why all of us should be concerned about what they might do in the midterms. The best thing we can do is pay attention, call them out for what they’re doing, & turn out in huge numbers in November.

Danish PM Frederiksen: "There are still red lines on the weapons Ukraine can use to win this war. You cannot win a war with one hand tied behind your back. We need to give them the weapons to strike inside Russia. We’ve been having this discussion for years — and we’re still having it. For the last three conferences, I’ve asked the same question: Why aren’t we providing the air defense they desperately need? Yet the response is always the same — hesitation and shrugs. They still don’t have enough air defense. You cannot protect a country without it. We know exactly what must be delivered: unrestricted long-range weapons and, of course, NATO membership. If we had made that decision in Vilnius, the situation today would be completely different. We know what to do. But first we must finally recognize, understand, and accept one hard truth: Russia will not change."

The original Trans Mountain Pipeline was built by a Liberal government, opposed by Conservatives. The Trans Canada Pipeline was built by a Liberal govt, opposed by Conservatives (though they let it complete when they later became govt). The /1

@EricDLombardi Ending supply management is just an invitation for corporate farming and American style, low quality ag products. No thanks! Not interested in chlorinated chicken or bovine growth milk so monied interests can squeeze out more profits.

The small local grocer would often be prohibited from existing by local zoning rules across Ontario, limiting competition and options. Many commercial plazas with a grocery store as an anchor tenant agree to prevent other tenants from selling similar products at lower prices. This kind of anticompetitive clause should be illegal in Ontario: Our supply management system for dairy, poultry and eggs raises costs by about 25-40%. These products represent ~15% of the average grocery cart, and even higher for those who are low income (~25%). There are a lot of ways to improve competition and reduce grocery prices in Ontario. But a consumer watchdog won’t legislate change politicians refuse to make.

@nationalpost @MickyHiggins And failed at building a party that could win.

20 years after he took office, it's clear that Harper built the Conservative Party of Canada to last, writes @MickyHiggins nationalpost.com/opinion/michae…

@UTriangle99997 @AHousefather They are delusional. Who built the pipeline? Who funded the oil sands? Certainly not the snowflakes crying they want to separate and take something they don’t own. Trudeau is gone. Time to get over yourselves.

@AHousefather Are you asking and addressing why they are organizing to separate? What are their issues? Are you arguing why they should stay a part of Canada? No. No argument. Just rules.

Dear @PnPCBC & @CBCNews Please stop having @KatlynHarrison on. Canadians deserve the truth, not lies. At least when they lie you should call it out. Stop letting them get away with their bullshit.

Tonight on @PnPCBC, ReformaCon shill @KatlynHarrison proclaimed, PM Carney needs to apologize for his Davos speech, and run to D.C. and kiss Donnie's ring. This smug, immature, LYING, Canadian Traitor is a freaking idiot, and nothing more than a fast-talking MapleMAGA cvnt. 😤🤬

@TomPark1n It would be appreciated if New Democrats and Conservatives especially stopped all their partisan bluster. It’s wholly focused on their self-interest instead of Canada’s.

Huh, falling support for both Liberal Party and Conservatives would result in a minority parliament in an election held now, says Fournier

When this war is said and done. Zelensky will go down in history as one of the greatest War time leaders of our generations.

@CanEmbNL The Royal Concertgebouw use to come to Toronto every year. Wish they would come back!

Don’t miss this unforgettable night at Het Concertgebouw: Toronto Symphony Orchestra led by Gustavo Gimeno, with Patricia Kopatchinskaja in Bartók’s Violin Concerto No.1, followed by Mahler’s Symphony No.4. tinyurl.com/4cbm326j

@Boenau We have been living car free in West Toronto for more than ten years. We are a family of five with three teenagers now. Lucky to have bike lanes, lots of transit options and many shopping options nearby.

In the place you live right now… How would your life change if you were unable to drive a car for two weeks? Would you have to rely on others to drive you places? Could you get by on foot, bike, and transit?

Good morning Alberta. Here’s a little reminder for you all, of how Alberta is never going to leave Canada. You can wish, and hope, and dream. But get comfy, because you’re not going anywhere.
