A remarkable thing about #StephenLewis is that he never held power. He was never a premier or a prime minister. He was a provincial opposition leader. Even before becoming UN ambassador he had tremendous moral suasion in Canada & was regarded as a national leader…a statesman.

Israel is what happens when the Stanford Prison Experiment is left running for 80 years and no one can criticize the guards.
Abier@abierkhatib
I’ve been often told that my hate for Israel is irrational… watch this and tell me how anyone could still call it irrational after seeing what they do.

$611,000 for a Chief of Police is “an outlier that demands scrutiny”?
You’re right it does.
But don’t act like this is happening in isolation.
At the same time
300 Peel teachers are being laid off
Class sizes are growing
Kids are losing support
And we’re told there’s “no money”
So yes, scrutinize the salary
But follow it all the way
Because when the Mayor a friend chairs the Police Board and influences that pay,
this isn’t just optics
It’s governance
It’s conflict
And people can see it
And spare me the “different jurisdictions” excuse
Police may be regional
Education may be provincial
But it’s the same taxpayers footing the bill
Cuts for classrooms
Approval at the top
That’s why people are angry
And that’s why trust is breaking
Paul Manning@mobinfiltrator
$611K base salary for a Chief of Police isn’t just high, it’s an outlier that demands scrutiny. What I really want to say is it’s fucking disgusting. When a Chiefs good friend, the Mayor, chairs the Police Board and has influence over that pay, the issue isn’t just compensation, it’s governance. It’s conflict. Even if it’s technically allowed, the optics are terrible. Public trust in policing doesn’t survive arrangements that look like this. The board should have to disclose the decision making process that led them here. #cdnpoli #onpoli thepointer.com/article/2026-0…

I must say, Peel Region Police Chief making over $600k, up about 25% since last year, and Peel Region CAO salary up nearly 100% and CAO of Mississauga earning $351k in 2025 but not working a single day is:

Tragedy?! TRAGEDY?
They used the rooftop logo as a target; they struck three cars, one after the other, as the still-living transferred from one vehicle to the other. The movements were all along deconflicted routes.
Tragedy?
Hamish Falconer MP@HFalconerMP
A tragedy like the Israeli strike on the World Central Kitchen aid convoy in Gaza must never happen again. Two years on, I pay tribute to the bravery of those staff. We continue to push Israel for justice for the families of John Chapman, James “Jim” Henderson and James Kirby.

I just want to take this opportunity to point out that there is a man named Henry Walter Wooten, from Smith County, Texas, who is serving 35 YEARS IN PRISON for marijuana possession.

#OntariansStandTogether ‼️Ford has announced almost $300 million for 61 new private surgical and diagnostic clinics. By Ford's own #'s, this will redirect 1.2 million patients away from public hospitals. This is truly unprecedented privatization of our public hospitals'‼️‼️

Most moral army in the world shot Muhammad’s thumbs off after learning he was only 2 weeks away from becoming a surgeon.
Ben Thomson 🇵🇸 (He/Him)@BenNephrology
Muhammad was in his final year of medical school in Gaza when he was kidnapped and imprisoned by Israeli military while caring for his patients. Two weeks from his final exams, he begged to be released, so he could live his dream of being a surgeon. The Israeli guard then shot off both his thumbs. Did Canada give Israel the bullets? Watch the press conference demanding an end to Canadas support for Israel's ongoing genocide @AnitaAnandMP @MarkJCarney stop weapon transfers now. End diplomatic relations now.

Sigh. Ontario has officially REPEALED the entire Endangered Species Act, ending all recognition or protection for endangered fish & birds, & ceding all responsibility to the federal Government.
The good news? @JulieDebrusin can fix it with a penstroke!

Israel is ethnically cleansing southern Lebanon - a displacement of people bigger than the 1948 Nakba.
It ought to be front and centre of western news reporting.
Simona Foltyn@SimonaFoltyn
Only one bridge is left to connect to the coastal city of #Tyre after #Israel bombed seven bridges crossing the Litani, practically isolating #Lebanon’s south. If that bridge gets struck too, it would create “a humanitarian disaster,” an official in Tyre told me. 15% of the city’s 60k residents remain despite Israel’s forced evac orders. Report coming soon @PBS @NewsHour.

I don't think many people understand the idea that a nationalised government service should not be making money, the tax payers money go to the company and the company benefits the tax payers. Why would CN rail need to make a billion in revenue when you can take a train?

🚨 Breaking 🚨
NDP obtains a government document showing that 12 days before Ford signed the Ontario Place deal with Therme, a civil servant warned: "Therme has low liquidity, low equity value, and its financial strength appears weak."
Therme lied about owning 6 spas in Europe when they owned 1 and claimed as equity money they expected to earn from a spa not yet built in Germany.

If we properly used our other resources - particularly our great natural wealth, this kind of expensive investment as a country in our transportation infrastructure would make good sense, and we should expand the footprint coast to coast, as we all connecting major urban hubs in the Prairies, through to BC.
Connecting people as a nation, making it cheaper to travel from sea to shining sea, is worthwhile.
It would be fine to run this at a loss, the Canada Post model, for the benefit of Canadian citizens. Assuming we generated enough wealth from our other investments. It would be good to make our country feel a little smaller. And you have to start somewhere but this definitely shouldn't be limited to the Laurentians. Give us a means of travelling quickly across country that doesn't involve flying. Make them the best technology in existence today, something to rival the Japanese and Chinese trains that are out there. It would become a symbol of national pride - as long as it benefited each part of our nation.
This is the kind of thing that 20-50 years later, people take for granted.

I see everyone arguing about the High speed rail. And most of those arguments ignore facts and are clearly partisan.
They’re selling high-speed rail as a $60–90B project.
Bullshit!
90% of megaprojects go over budget.
California HSR? Quoted $33B, actually $120B+.
UK HSR? Billions over and still climbing.
Toronto LRT? Years late, billions over.
This is going cost $2,500–$4,000 per Canadian.
And who will use it?
Primarily a corridor between Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City.
Now the part they forget to mention.
Even optimistic projections show 40–60 years to see a return.
That’s assuming strong ridership, no major overruns, no delays.
Reality? Most high-speed rail systems never make the money back invested and require ongoing public subsidies.
So we’re borrowing tens of billions…
to build something a portion of the country uses…
that will never pay for itself…
and in all likelihood cost 100s of millions a year to operate.
This is not a smart investment. Someone stands to make a lot of money from this and it’s not everyday Canadians.

The main organization in Canada that advocates for Palestinian prisoners was designated a terrorist organization by the our government in 2024, but the country poised to put prisoners to death without a trial is an ally.

May we honour Stephen Lewis' legacy by rededicating ourselves to protecting universal human rights both here in Canada and around the world.
Samira Mohyeddin سمیرا@SMohyeddin
During his illness, Stephen Lewis spent what little energy he had, protesting Israel’s genocide in Gaza. This fact will most likely be missing from most remembrances of him today. Canada lost a giant of humanity and social justice. Sending love to @avilewis & entire family.

A year ago on this day, the most moral army in the world, executed at close range 15 paramedics in Gaza and then buried them along with their ambulances. IDF of course lied about it, as they ALWAYS DO, until video evidence proved as such. Zero accountability to date.
PRCS@PalestineRCS
Our medics were not missing… they were buried. Buried beneath a silence heavier than words, and beneath pain beyond endurance. The survivor, Asaad Al-Nassasra, speaks—his voice bearing witness to loss; to companions who left with him on a humanitarian mission, but he returned alone… leaving them under the soil without a farewell. And on March 30, 2025, the truth emerged as it is: bodies concealed, souls departed, and a wound that will never close. They were deliberately killed by Israeli occupation forces. This is not a story of survival… but a testimony to a tragedy that will remain.
