Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

You may remember the Ford Govt from such policy triumphs as "Mass Slaughter in Long-term Care Facilities" and "Housing? What's That?". Now it wants to remove universities' right to select their own students. Biggest assault on uni autonomy in Canadian history. higheredstrategy.com/code-red-on-...

Dear Donald, I know you and Vladimir are not in a good mood now but we should talk about this golden dome thing: You demand $61 billion in protection. Lol. Ukrainians used $100 drones to take out $7bil in Russian aircraft Canada could get a way better deal with them. And they are more trustworthy.

Wildfires across Canada are causing smoke to spread across North America, as far as Florida. A reminder that particulates in wildfire smoke can cause short- and long-term health issues. An excellent way to protect yourself is to wear a well-fitting mask like an N95.

Moments after MPP Mamakwa was removed from the legislature: Reporter: "Can you explain just what precisely the Premier said that you're saying is untruthful?" Sol: "That he respects and honours the duty to consult. That's not the truth. The way [Bill 5] is written up speaks the opposite."

Here's the moment it happened. MPP Mamakwa spoke the truth about Bill 5 and the government can't face the truth. Bill 5 must be scrapped.

Bill 5 would let Ford handpick which corporations get to ignore the rules. It guts species protections, sidesteps Indigenous rights + silences communities. This isn’t streamlining—it’s steamrolling. #onpoli

🚨BREAKING: Doug Ford’s Trump-style power grab is racing through Queen’s Park. This week, the Ford government is fast-tracking 7 bills—cutting debate short, skipping committee scrutiny, and trying to ram through Bill 5, which would grant massive new “special economic zone” powers.

Ford's latest assault on our democratic rights: No vote will be required at committee to pass Bill 5. If there is no Committee vote, "the Bill shall be DEEMED passed by the committee." Ford is passing legislation that assumes we have already voted in his favour. #onpoli
