In the last Ontario election, more than 6 million eligible voters did not vote. That’s 6 million voices missing from the conversation about our province’s future. Advanced polling happens today and tomorrow. Please make sure your voice is heard. www.elections.on.ca/en/voting-in...

Another shoe drops. “Corporate records show Mr. Mraiche owns 25 per cent of the voting shares in each of those two numbered companies.” It seems that Mraiche has his hands in many pockets. The big question now is what payoffs are making their way into the pockets of his enablers in government?

No, the mail is not “the least of our worries.” It’s a fucking important worry. It is the only postal service that delivers to every address. They are only provider of complete mail services for overseas military bases and provide free overseas PO boxes. They help prepare passport apps. Ship meds…

Don't forget Nova Scotia premier giving himself the power to prevent auditor reports from being published, fire the auditor general at will, and fire non-unionized government employees without cause. All while give MLAs great big pay bumps. I think every conservative-run province is in trouble.

Her name was Jocelyn Rojo Carranza. She was 11 years old. She played the French horn, made TikTok videos, swam, did cartwheels, & watched Friday night movies with her family. I'm so sorry, baby girl. This is what happens when you normalize bullying and hatred. people.com/mom-says-dau...

Local democracy is important. It’s unfortunate #Nepean’s Conservative candidate didn’t bother showing up to the debate today. If he doesn’t even show up for the interview for the job, how can you expect him to be there for you after the election? #onpoli #barrhaven #bellscorners tylerwatt.ca

I was just an Education Department guy under Reagan and the most junior WH senior staffer under G.H.W. Bush, so what do I know? But if I were an ex-president, and the current president were executing the most disastrous turn in American foreign policy in 80 years, I think I might say something?

Hey Ontario! Are you okay that Doug Ford has removed 35,000 jobs from healthcare? 5,000 jobs from education? A lot of those jobs were your jobs. In 2018, a lot of people didn't trust Ford. You were right not to trust him! cupe.on.ca/what-matters... #onpoli

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.
