Today I wish Ontario hadn't wasted: -$2.2 billion on an Austrian spa -$1 billion on an unneeded Science Centre -$1.4 billion on early alcohol sales everywhere -$3.2 billion on election bribe cheques Every billion mattered. thestar.com/politics/provi…

Tax cuts don't do a damn to help people eating at food banks or living on the streets. Doug Ford just spent tens of billions of dollars and not a single penny of it will help one person who can't afford to eat. Doug Ford and the PCs are a disgrace of greed and corruption. #onpoli

@atrupar 😬 Math? He’s the guy who said he’d lower drug price by 1,000%. How could he pass a math test?

Trump: "I'm the only president that ever took a cognitive test. I took it 3 times. It's actually a very hard test for a lot of people. It wasn't hard for me. It starts off with an easy question and by the time you get to the middle it gets tougher -- mathematical equations and things."

There was nothing unpredictable about it. Anyone and everyone with even half a brain predicted that @fordnation would spend his entire time in office emptying our pockets to fill the pockets of his cronies. That’s why he won with only 18% of voters.

@VisionaryLight @TinaYazdani Yes. The word ‘grant’ should be mentioned.

@rellim_evad @TinaYazdani OSAP is still available.

Ontario's education minister is refusing to apologize after directing school boards to keep graduation ceremonies free from political views. Critics believe he is trying to influence political discourse inside schools, but he insists this is about focusing on student achievement

@guyfelicella @terry_kohut People, outside the US, know way more about the US, than Americans know about other countries. If, Americans truly want Canadians to not ‘meddle’, stop FOX broadcasting into Canada & have Chatham Asset Mgt sell its interests in Postmedia. And, have JD stop the lies too.

"when some Americans tell you to stay out of America's business because I don't live there" I’m Canadian. 🇨🇦 And when a U.S. president threatens my country, disrespects Canadians, and impacts the world, It becomes my business too. So no… I won’t stop talking about it. Human rights doesn't have borders!

@TDotResident @millerd99 I used to work at a GTA municipality. I met him, on a few occasions. He was a lobbyist. (It was in the 2015/18 time when he wasn’t an elected official.) I didn’t think much of him then, and I think much less of him now.

Your entire career is distraction and disruption

@EchoesofEmpire_ Wonderful photo!

@AntilesSeth @JamesTate121 What US taxpayers have paid for apparently can’t defend anything. eg Two aircraft carriers. The Pentagon hasn’t passed an audit in 8 yrs & is paying $90k for a bag of bushings. The US defence (socialist) budget props up the incompetent US military-industrial complex.

Mattis’s analysis is not sound. If Europe abandons the U.S., that means the U.S. will abandon Europe. Is Europe or the US in more trouble under that scenario? The answer is clear. Europe has no choice but to offer what little it can to help the US and Israel (but let’s face it, most EU militaries are quite pathetic).

Former Defense Secretary Gen. James Mattis isn’t exactly a dove. He’s a Marine, a combat commander, and about as “America First” as it gets in the real world—not on a hat. And even he is warning that Trump’s “policy” of bullying our allies is dangerously stupid. Mattis pointed out that Denmark, which owns Greenland, lost as many troops per capita as the U.S. fighting alongside us after 9/11. They bled with us. They buried their dead with us. And now Trump slaps tariffs on those same allies while demanding they spend more on defense—something that literally requires a strong economy. His warning is blunt: “You can’t bring allies on board if they don’t trust you.” Trust is the real currency of alliances, not photo-ops and flag-hugging. Mattis is clear that the threat from the “aberrant, bizarre, murderous regime in Tehran” will only be handled “with allies — lots of allies.” But thanks to Trump’s chaos diplomacy, Mattis says it could take 8–12 years to rebuild the trust this White House has burned down. That’s a decade lost because one president would rather pick fights with NATO democracies than stand up to dictators. If you actually support our troops, you don’t sabotage the alliances that keep them alive. You “get back to thinking strategically and giving our word and living up to it”—exactly what Mattis says we’ve stopped doing. The question isn’t whether our allies will show up for us next time. The question is: after Trump, why would they?

@amconmag And, how will ‘humans’ know, that the programming hasn’t been diddled with to supplement a nefarious agenda?

"Imagine a humanoid named Plato." Melania Trump says humanoid educators will offer "instantaneous" access to the classical studies for students and help create a "more complete person."

A gutter tactic. Between housing unaffordability, youth unemployment, and OSAP cuts, your government is robbing young people of their futures — and you know they'll speak up. But you're going to blame school boards when they do so, effectively weaponizing them against each other.

@SpockResists Could we just have them in a computer simulation like ‘A Taste of Armageddon’ but, the only people who have to report to the disintegration chambers are the MAGA that voted for these numbskulls?

It’s all a farce. America is the joke of the world.

@PauletteEllaH @JeffreyLuscombe @dodo99 That sounds just awful. 🤢

@rellim_evad @JeffreyLuscombe @dodo99 I'm not sure what percentage of Dairy cows are included, but in the US beef cows are commonly fed chicken litter. No animal should be fed chicken shit for food. Their standards are so low. That practice is banned in Canada for good reason.

No Canadian would touch American dairy with a ten-foot pole. 🤷🏻‍♂️

PM on Air Canada LaGuardia collision.

@TDotResident @DanHall35818675 Yup!

Amazing how the funding for things people actually need is limited, but the funding for Doug Ford’s vanity projects is infinite.

@peggy_blair @LibArtsAndMinds He’s been a fan of 45/7 for a long time. That should disqualify him from holding any public office.

Seriously? This is very Trumpian.

Think the writer swerved into something here, or did he do that on purpose?
