@sarobertsonca No this will be the next Liberal spending boondgoggle, where their friends will get huge contracts for a train that may or may not get build and if it does it will be a disappointment.

Steven MacKinnon on the significance of the Alto high-speed rail project: "This is a true transformational, generational investment that we're making for Canada."
English
Let's frame it another way.
People have become so poor they need to steal food.
Ben Graham@BenGrahamUK
Britain has become so lawless that we now have to put security tags on £7.25 steaks. What has happened to this country?
Malta 🇲🇹 English
@JakeLandauTO This has nothing to do with racism and everything to do with stopping inappropriate, illegal behaviour. There is no religious requirement for them to pray in the street, they don’t do it in Muslim countries.
English
That's because it IS based on Islamophobia and racism. I love Québec, it is my family's home, but it is because I love Québec that I am ashamed of how they treat brown people.
Alexandra Lavoie@ThevoiceAlexa
MONTREAL: Bara Abuhamed, one of the leaders of Montreal4Palestine, claimed that the new Bill 9, which bans street prayers, is based on "Islamophobia" and "racism".
Toronto, Ontario 🇨🇦 English
@sarobertsonca Blaming Trump for our nations issues that were created by over a decade of obscene Liberal spending is absurd. Trump isn’t helping but he’s the president of another country, our own politicians made the bulk of this mess.
English
Robert Fife: "Pierre Poilievre keeps trying to blame every job loss, inflation, everything on the Prime Minister. But Canadians know where that problem is coming from. It's south of the border, it's in the White House."

@DrRitaDed Congratulations you win stupid tweet of the day. Who cares if someone wishes you a happy (insert holiday you don’t celebrate)? Why is that offensive? If someone wishes me a happy Eid I’d nod thanks and move on. Grow up
English
Reminder: Not everyone celebrates Easter. Do not wish me or them a happy Easter without consent.

@mindingottawa @LenaMetlegeDiab @CitImmCanada Ummmm…..the bulk of Canada’s history with slavery is the Underground Railroad, saving slaves from the US. The vast majority of slavery in Canada was the indigenous enslaving the surviving members of tribes they had murdered and wiped out.
English
Minister @LenaMetlegeDiab's dept drafts new citizenship guide saying it's ashamed of Canada over slavery, urges new Canadians to reflect on the country's "shameful" past.

@marissenmark You’re comparing apples to oranges. Japan is a miniscule fraction of the size of Canada with over 4 times the population. That’s a huge difference to the viability and possible success of high speed rail.
English
I just came back from a trip to Japan.
The Japanese could figure out how to provide their citizens high speed rail.
There’s no reason why we can’t.
Don’t let Pierre Poilievre deny Canadians high speed rail.
If we need help and advice from the Japanese, let’s get it.

@TOSportsAdam Making the playoffs does not make a franchise successful.
English
10 years straight of playoffs. Hate them or love them, everyone can agree the Leafs have been the most successful franchise in the last decade.
TSN@TSN_Sports
The Toronto Maple Leafs have officially been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention for the first time since 2016.
English
@bruce_barrett Hmmm and here I thought our justice system was supposed to be blind and treat everyone equally? Are they visiting Catholic Churches, Lutheran churches, Anglican churches….?
English
@JeffreyLuscombe Maybe because we’re broke, spending like drunken sailors and this is a nice to have not a need to have. But hey, why try to be even remotely fiscally responsible, the budget balances itself apparently.
English
Why do Conservatives hate this so much? Anyone?
Sharing Travel@TripInChina
A high-speed train is passing through the high-speed railway station at full speed. It looks cool.😎
English
@gator_gum If we belt pipelines and refined our own gasoline we could be one of the richest nations on the planet. That would change a lot!
English
Dear 99.9% of Canadians,
Your life would not change a single bit if a pipeline was built. It wouldn't fix housing, grocery prices, your perceived issues with immigration...
It wouldn't make gas suddenly cheaper.
Stop pandering to billionaires and mega corps, it's ridiculous.
English
@sarbjitkaur1 It has been tried, in many communist countries. We know how that ended. Besides is there ANYTHING our governments do in a cost effective manner?

CBA President Bianca Kratt, K.C., warns that recent media commentary questioning the impartiality of a sitting judge of the Ontario Superior Court risks undermining public confidence in the judiciary.

@SteveWarneMedia @TheHockeyNews The injury situation with the Sens defence is almost hard to believe at this point. Any other contending team losing 3 of it’s top 4 defenceman (let alone the other injuries) would have been long dead in the water. This team is showing some true character right now.

@SensCentral That was a great trade to acquire him and I wish we had been using him more throughout the season. He has definitely proven his value!
English
Before this season, Jordan Spence had a career-high TOI of 24:35.
Since Thomas Chabot got hurt:
26:44 @ NYR
26:24 @ DET
27:48 vs PIT
22:41 @ TB
24:05 @ FLA
30:48 vs BUF tonight

@VoyceReason That’s because the common sense solution is for us to start developing our MASSIVE oil reserves ourselves. We’d become an economic powerhouse in the world. High speed rail is going to be an over-priced fiasco and EV’s aren’t a solution for many Cdns
English
Cons:
"GAS PRICES ARE INSANE!!!"
🇨🇦:
"We'll help by building high speed rail".
Cons:
"NOOO!!!"
🇨🇦:
"OK. Let's build out our EV infrastructure and start moving away from gas dependence."
Cons:
"NOOOOOOOO!!!"
Meanwhile, they want to cut gas taxes that pay for road improvements.

@mark_slapinski @terri0928 Which is exactly what you showed in your video…a nice pocket. There are lots of shitty out of control pockets too that didn’t exist even 10yrs ago. THAT’S THE ISSUE
English
This is what Toronto ACTUALLY looks like late at night.
Safe, clean, new buildings.
Stop listening to Right-wing liars.

@CTVMontreal This needs to be done Canada wide. This has nothing to do with freedom of religion and EVERYTHING to do with showing dominance.

Quebec passes law banning street prayers, prayer rooms in universities, CEGEPs ctvnews.ca/montreal/artic…

@Coffey4Canada2 You do realize that the Liberals have been running MASSIVE deficits every year since Trudeau came in and have increased spending on everything. It would be very easy to cut a ton of their irresponsible spending to recover this.

How do you propose replacing $30-$40 million a day in tax revenue?
How do you propose replacing $13 billion in tax revenue annually?
How do you propose balancing a budget?
Give us 1 good answer.
No slogans.

Non aux taxes sur l'essence.
