Bessent just a few days ago: “"We will not be renewing the general license on Russian oil and Iranian oil. That was oil that was on the water prior to March 11th. All that has been used.”

“Hospitals are slashing wherever they can… it does affect patient care.” — @BlairBigham tells @JeyanTVO about an @UofT_ijb investigation with Stacey Kuznetsova that found Ontario hospitals relying on bank loans to make ends meet. Tonight at 8pm | Producer: @carrletta

I was on CP24 Breakfast this morning when the story broke that Doug Ford spent $30M on a private jet – here was my response:


Kyiv burns as Ukraine no longer has any Patriot interceptor missiles - the only defense against Russian Iskander ballistic missiles. Vice President Vance recently bragged of his "proudest" achievement - cutting off military support for Ukraine.








Prime Minister @MarkJCarney and I had a warm and productive first conversation today. I shared the NDP’s concerns about the cost-of-living crisis facing Canadians, including the creepy practice of surveillance pricing. I raised the urgent need to stop the privatization of health care by dusting off and actually enforcing the Canada Health Act. And I reiterated our position that Canada must take a clear moral stand against illegal wars (and the countries that start them) in this age of impunity. It was a forthright and friendly exchange — and it made me feel encouraged about the prospects of a little old school respectful political debate in this country. Maybe I’m just nostalgic for the kind of politics I've watched my parents practice throughout their lives — always soft on people, hard on the issues. I think that’s what the country needs right now. But honestly? I don’t see politics in terms of access to the powerful. Making the changes we need depends on how much momentum we can build behind solutions that confront power and benefit the 99%. That’s the real work. And it’s going to take all of us.
