While smartvoting.ca is a great tool to stop vote splitting in #ONelxn and NDP candidate Natasha Doyle-Merrick stepped down to prevent just that, Bonnie Crombie has used this final week against Doug Ford to come out swinging hard against…the NDP. Like Wynne did. They just can’t help themselves 🫤

Deer My Friends In 2018 I promissed to be For the People but I didnt make beer a dollur or lower taxes so in 2022 I promissed to Get It Done but I didnt finish the Eglintun LRT or end hallway hellthcare so now I promiss I will Pertect Ontario from the US by making more jails for the Teens. Premair

The biggest threat in the Ontario election isn’t Donald Trump, it’s voter disengagement. #cdnpoli #onpoli theconversation.com/the-biggest-...

Re: housing ON renters, never forget that Doug Ford took away rent control for any units built after Nov 15, 2018. Many of us renters have no protection from a greedy landlord. If you think Doug Ford will protect you as a renter, think again. #ONpoli #VoteFordOut

I will never get over the 2018 Ontario Liberals refusing to strategically vote NDP and giving this province to Ford.

Doug Ford's face when Marit Stiles asked him why Ontario households are paying $400 each for a luxury Austrian spa on public land at Ontario Place. #OnPoli

Doug Ford at tonight’s ON debate answering the question “how soon under your will everyone in Ontario have a family doctor in Ontario?” He didn’t answer the question he just bragged that his OPC have spent a lot on beds and hospitals. Whatever. No plan. Never had a plan, never will. #VoteFordout

We should just make Marit and Mike the Mom and Dad of Ontario.

This debate is wild LOL DoFo can’t give a single answer other than yelling about taxes 🤦🏻‍♀️😂🥴 I cannot believe people vote for this incompetent dingbat.

Got my Fordo card ready for tonight's debate. Thanks to @m-espeee.bsky.social for the reminder! Good luck to us all. #OnPoli #VoteFordOut

Feeling grateful for my furry pals today. ❤️❤️❤️

Great thread 🧵🧵🧵

Didn’t realize the New Blue party had a candidate in the Ptbo riding. 🥴 That party has the absolute dumbest of “platforms” 😂 What a bunch of delusional goons.

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

OMG I got tickets to see Wolf Parade in March and this 20 year dream is finally happening 🥰😭😍😍🥳🥳

This is bad

Just reposting to share the hilarity of the replies. 😂😂😂

@lairdleod.bsky.social great delegation to Peterborough City Council tonight! Solidarity!

There are posts in Ontario re: strategic voting. PLZ remember that in 2018, Libs could have encouraged ppl to vote NDP (for an NDP win)! Instead, they threw the NDP under the bus & gave us DoFo. Liberals only talk strategic voting when it helps them. Not when it helps the people.

This is a nice story about a donkey. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

This is so infuriating.

“Buy Canadian” means cancelling your National Post and Toronto SUN subscriptions. Sorry, I don’t make the rules. I’m for Canada. I am Canadian. 🇨🇦

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

I worry a lot more about X than Tiktok. X has been the key gateway for Russian disinformation in Canada. Trump is threatening our sovereignty while Muskolin uses his platform to directly interfere in our democracy. Elections Canada should look at making X go dark during the next election.

Stephen Harper continues to be one of the most evil ideological fanatics around, and he is PP’s mentor. 👹👹👹

Listening to municipal councils beg provincial and federal governments to take back the cost + responsibility for social housing, the only way this will happen is to ELECT THE NDP. The Lib/Cons (provincial or federal) do not care about the poor and working class. THEY HAVE PROVEN THIS FOR DECADES.

Your neighbours insisting that Pierre Poilievre is the fresh new leader Canada needs seriously need to understand that we’ve already had *decades* of Stephen Harper’s angry dorky little minion running about. Enough indeed!

Goal for 2025 is to build class consciousness and solidarity among all. The rich have long been waging class war on the rest of us. Time to realize it’s not left v right - it’s up v down. #solidarity
