Please don't circulate these images of key people in Canada's Conservatives movement who support Trump and MAGA. It's embarrassing to them. #cdnpoli

More than half a dozen Conservatives, inside & outside the campaign, spoke to CBC on the condition they not be named for fear of retribution. They describe the campaign as “a mess” and say too many decisions have to go through Poilievre’s chief strategist, Jenni Byrne. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

This election we're calling on all parties in Canada to give us platforms not press releases and substance, not slogans. So today we're introducing our secret weapon...... Read more at: elections.gensqueeze.ca/

My best bet on the silence of the Ontario cmoh on the growing measles epidemic is that, as usual, it comes down to politics. Rural religious communities in Sw Ontario, are at the heart of the outbreak, have a longstanding history of mistrusting vaccines, and are a key Doug ford constituency

#Measles in Ontario. It's bad. And Public Health doesn't know how to deal with it.

Don’t let this fall out of the news cycle. Don’t forget it. Don’t “move on.”

100%. Deliberate, bold, leadership. What we need now everywhere in cities.

Pierre Poilievre has been in politics for 20 years, he's written 0 legislation; has one of the highest pensions in government. He's voted against the environment & climate nearly 400 times, derailed legislation to benefit workers, and voted against affordable housing initiatives.

Today is World Water Day "Water is Life" emphasizes the fundamental importance of water for all living things, highlighting its role in sustaining life and the need for its protection and conservation. That is why the centre zone of Earthfest is “Water is Life” #waterislife #worldwaterday #ldnont

When does CO2 correlate with the amount of aerosol that has been exhaled? When does it not? In this short clip, I walk you through what the CO2 concentration is really telling you: youtu.be/mRPh06y6hIU

The United States is no longer a nation under the rule of law. I urge Canadians to avoid travel. Illegal detentions and kidnapping by ICE have become all too common for travellers and those with working VISAs. Stay away at this time. boingboing.net/2025/03/20/d...

Hugh Hewitt Show, Jan 6 2025 Hugh Hewitt: ”I think Trudeau might resign today. Are you looking forward to working with Pierre Poilievre, the new guy?” Donald J Trump: ”I am. I am, if that’s what happens. Certainly, it will be very good. Our views would be more aligned, certainly.” #cdnpoli #Liberals

Everyone’s talking about Tesla but there’s a lot more that can be done to take down X. Many official Canadian government, politician, and institution accounts are still on X, supporting an anti-Canadian propaganda platform with their content. We can help get them to leave.

So Donald Trump tells us he doesn't like Pierre Poilievre. Lol. The MAGA team know that a Trump endorsement is a political death wish. Poor Pierre. He's their boy and has no respect. Don't get fooled. He is their favourite sock puppet.

Excellent article! Wish Ontario voters had felt this way during the election and chosen a new party (or parties) to run the province. #ONpoli #ONterrible @thetyee.ca

As Captain Canada takes his Republican dentures for a showcase on every US cable news network, remember that Ford and Trump play together on the same team. There is no world in which Ford and Trump oppose each other. This theatre riles up both their bases, and paves Doug's way to the PMO.

New attack ads from Poilievre have the epic nerve to claim Carney will do what Trump wants. This from the guy who is supported by everyone who supports Trump, cheered on the extremist trucker occupation, steals Trump lies & lines, and won’t get a normal security clearance. He thinks we’re morons.

Hey #ldnont FYI that the Health Unit has released a confirmed Measles exposure notice at the Children's Hospital. www.healthunit.com/news/middles...

London Health Science's Centres (LHSC) has updated its visitor policy for Children's Hospital and Women's Care program because of the regional surge of measles cases.

Should you refuse to show compassion because you believe it would make you appear weak, then you have misunderstood what strength is. It is honorable to have concern for others, to show empathy and to offer aid to someone in distress. To rebuke this is cowardice, not strength.

Has there been any formal requests/motions/comments to #ldnont city council to stop using X as a primary civic communication space? I know @lpl.ca has embraced Bluesky wholeheartedly, but curious why the primary place to find out about news and alerts for the rest of city orgs is still X.

Shifting polls can do wondrous things. Take the case of Poilievre who now claims he fully supports Ukraine. We know two facts about Pierre: he was the only Canadian leader to oppose Ukraine aid a year ago and polls show almost all Canadian Trump support is in his CPC voter base. Trust him? Nyet.

#Canada, never forget the Conservative Party leader voted AGAINST aid to Ukraine. #cdnpoli #ukraine #poilievre #CdnCartoonistsDontPussyFoot

People may ask why I post about disinformation/political issues as well as health risks, viruses, and science. Now that you can more clearly see the impact of far right policies on health and science, I think the answer is self-evident: they are also viral attacks on science and our health.

It’s a three-peat for the Doug Ford government, meaning discussion of more highways — maybe even a tunnel — and natural gas will continue. Here’s what four more years of the Progressive Conservatives means for Ontario’s environment: thenarwhal.ca/ontario-elec...

Ontario's election by the numbers: 45.4% of registered voters bothered to vote 42.9% of those voters voted for Doug Ford's team They won 80 of 124 seats. 📣19.5% of Ontario's eligible voters gave Doug Ford 65% of the voice of Ontario's people.📣 www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

I had faint hope that even Conservatives would say no to Ford. He's cheating you too. You know that right? What the actual fuck is wrong with you though? #onpoli #cdnpoli

Thanks, #Onterrible, for proving we are living in the worst timeline. 😞 #ONpoli #ONelxn

Please enjoy my cartoon for Friday's Toronto Star

42% Really? It took me 15 minutes to vote and that was because I had just moved and needed to be added to the list. Shame on 58% of you and your ancestors for not voting today. No action is an action and a choice. #onpoli

I have been helping people look up their polling stations all week because they didn't receive their voter cards. But today, suddenly, we can't access the info online because of a glitch at Elections Ontario website. Someone should be investigating this. Just another way to reduce voter turnout.
