The craziest part? The wealthy stayed wealthy. The middle class didn’t get hit. The sky didn’t fall. Almost like the panic was always propaganda.

Mamdani taxed the rich and it literally fixed everything. Which is why the rich are so scared of him

Where are patients being treated in Ontario hospitals right now? Hallways. Broom closets. This is what Doug Ford considers acceptable healthcare. Manitoba and BC have implemented safe nurse-to-patient staffing ratios. Ontario refuses. Why?

I dont think US Americans understand how insanely repulsive this is. They dont even think of it. They dont understand that others love their countries as much as they love their own. They are deluded to think that they are exceptional and better than everybody and that everybody wants to be US Americans. The reality is that this kind of threatening rhetoric of taking other countries makes people's blood boild and makes them hate the USA. The US Americans dont understand it, when they read how hated they are in the rest of the world, but this is why.

This paint job—if you can call it that—is costing you $7 million, America, because Trump gave a no-bid contract to a pal This would have been Exhibit A of the sort of shit DOGE was actually *supposed* to be looking for when it was instead cutting lifesaving scientific research

Women: I want to go for a run. Society: You can’t go alone. You’ll get raped. Women: I want to walk to my car in the parking garage. Society: Alone? You better get someone to escort you, or you’ll get raped. Women: I want to live alone. Society: You need a gun, an alarm system, a dog and probably a gun for the dog too. Women: What about going to the park? Society: Dangerous. Women: Okay, I’ll just go out for a drink then. Society: Don’t take your eyes off your drink. Watch out for predators spiking your drinks. Stay alert at all times. Women: I was raped. Society: Are you sure? That just seems impossible.

AOC: “There’s a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned. You can’t earn a billion dollars. You just can’t earn that. You can get market power, you can break rules, you can abuse labor laws, you can pay people less than what they’re worth, but you can’t earn that”

This always puzzles me. The Canada Health Act is law, but the federal Liberals regularly choose to not enforce it for politics Is there no way a citizen can require a province to obey the law?

The simple truth is that anyone with anything close to that level of empathy simply wouldn't be able to reach anything close to bezos levels of wealthy, because that amount of money requires unbelievable amounts of human exploitation

Sit back, take an edible, and think about how "Obama needs $1 billion for a ballroom" would get covered in 2011.

Two court cases were in progress, one about the Greenbelt and another about Ford’s phone records. After he changed the Freedom of Information laws, both cases fell apart. The rules changed, and just like that, the investigations were gone.

Watch. 17 trade unions and industry groups that endorsed Ford in the February snap election received $237M from Piccini's $2.5B Skills Development Fund as Piccini stated (PCs) were coming after Windsor West NDP Gretzky seat because "unions are backing us."

Ontario’s Health Minister says she’s “frustrated” with the Ontario Hospital Association. You know what frustrates me? A government doing nothing to address overcrowded ERs, record wait times, ER closures, and hallway medicine. Not to mention this government's disrespect for nurses and healthcare workers. Do better, Minister. #onpoli thestar.com/politics/provi…

I know this is going to be really difficult for some people to accept but IN CANADA, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOES NOT REGULATE RETAIL FUEL PRICES. IN CANADA, PROVINCIAL AND TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENTS HOLD THE AUTHORITY TO REGULATE FUEL PRICES.

the amount of creativity and talent buried under poverty is heartbreaking. imagine how many geniuses never got the chance to even try.

NEW: NDP Leader Marit Stiles suggests Premier Doug Ford will "be in prison" at the end of this current mandate, and says the NDP would call a public inquiry into the Ford government if elected after the 2029/30 election. #onpoli

Tomorrow, MPP @stephaniesmyth and the Ontario Liberals will table a motion to reverse Ford’s dangerous FOI changes. The Ford Conservatives will face a moment of truth - fix this, or double down on secrecy. Ontarians are watching. #onpoli @OntLiberal

ER chair medicine in Ontario (the awful cousin of hallway medicine) is unacceptable. Full stop. We need to get rid of it. We must fund hospitals and fix the problem of critically ill patients put in a chair. There is zero exaggeration here. I am sounding the alarm. Hear it.

Brain scans are revealing early dementia-like changes in kids and teens from heavy screen use. 60 Minutes Australia reported toddlers spending just 2–3 hours daily on devices already show abnormal white matter development. Teens averaging 6–8 hours display widened brain ridges and thinning in key areas — patterns that mirror early Alzheimer’s. Excessive screens appear to weaken neural pathways that normally strengthen through real-world movement, play, and face-to-face interaction. We’re also seeing the first IQ drops in recorded history, plus a nearly 400% rise in early-onset dementia signs among 35–44 year olds. Correlation, not proven causation — but devices are the major new variable. This is one of those reports that makes you rethink default habits. The convenience of screens is undeniable, but the potential long-term brain impacts on developing kids are hard to ignore. We may be unintentionally running a massive experiment on the next generation’s cognitive health. Are we underestimating the risks of heavy screen time, or is this concern overblown?
