$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

This is who Ford gave our money to.

The Washington Post wouldn’t need to write headlines like this if it hadn’t normalized Trump for the last decade.

asking the sole remaining park ranger keeping tourists from petting the baby buffalo how many lines of code he has written.

It's been so run through pop culture as to seem almost corny, but I need you all to understand with the deepest seriousness available to you that the "First they came for..." thing was to prepare you for this exact moment

The stage of capitalism where companies advertise on a Nazi porn site for fear of government reprisal. gizmodo.com/it-sure-look...

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Another “allegedly” we can cross of the list. ASG’s contract for services was much higher than other contracts. It pays to play, right? #ableg #abpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

I love the idea that the ketamine and video game junky with 13 (known) kids who posts 200 times a day and who works for the golfer in chief is worried that *other people* aren’t working hard enough.

I barely got in the door from voting and got a text from Doug Ford "Doug Ford here. Help me protect Ontario's jobs and our economy from Trump's tariffs." Too many people are falling for this LIE. He's right in bed with Elon Musk.

Good morning to everyone except Doug Ford. Woke up to find his bribe cheque bounced. I'm not even mad. It's kinda poetic 😂

the federal government represented in court that this man is not in charge of anything official

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

Ask the citizens of the city of Ottawa if this Premier stepped up and protected them when their city was illegally occupied. #onpoli #cdnpoli

This guy wants the AfD to win in Germany. He wants Pierre Poilievre and the CPC to win in Canada. I don’t know about you, but given the devastation and fascism he’s doing everything he can to create in the United States and beyond, I wouldn’t vote for someone this guy likes in a million years.

In MAGA political culture, “Hitler was a socialist – National *Socialism*, get it?! – and therefore stands for how evil leftism is” seamlessly coexists with “We love a good Nazi salute, because what’s wrong with restoring former national glory by purging all enemies!”

👀 🔥

Someone really needs to dig into who Sam Mraiche is because it’s really looking like he’s the actual Premier of Alberta, who’s just paying a washed up talk radio host to be the public face of things.

I want to know what Canada's federal government is doing *right* *now* to persuade all of these renowned scientists and researchers to relocate here. This is the opportunity of a lifetime, and it appears that we are absolutely fucking it up.

Time for my weekly Doug Ford email asking why he hasn't cancelled Starlink like he said he would.

Fun fact: As Republicans prepare to cut the entire budget of Medicaid, millions will lose health care, but also 5.6 million live in custodial care or have assisted living paid by Medicaid. 5.6 million with no $ & no one to care for them. That's not cost cutting, that's genocide.

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

How many child cancer researchers did they fire to pay for this?

"In December, Auditor General Shelley Spence revealed that the province spent a total of $103.5 million on advertising in the previous year... Much of the language used in the publicly funded ads mirrored talking points used by Doug Ford and the Progressive Conservative Party..." $103. Million.

“Ontario's top bureaucrat is admonishing PC Leader Doug Ford and his staff for allegedly trying to use his Washington D.C. trip last week to the party's advantage in the election campaign.” Time to stop calling Doug to the Principal’s office like this. Time to expel him once and for all.

Starlink shoulda been banned before it started on a lot more grounds than national security, but the whole "colonialism is good, actually" vibe was just too tempting so here we are. Musk has always bragged about being a colonizer, y'all just thought it wouldn't happen to you.

"I'm a big Republican" "Trump is a genius businessman" "My support is unwavering" "I'm 100% happy President Trump won" - Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario. The most destructive, dangerous, and corrupt premier we have ever had. Kick his useless ass to the curb.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Ontario: It doesn't matter if polls say that Doug Ford's PCP is leading. Polls aren't elections. Don't let anything dissuade you from voting.

This is grooming, this is disinfo. Missing were projects exploring the bigger picture, she said, like "'What are the health impacts of air pollution on your health?' ... 'If wind and solar were used, how would that compare [to fossil fuels] in costs or in job creation?'" www.cbc.ca/news/fossil-...

The thing about Tim Houston’s recent power grab - you don’t seek to expand your power fire the AG unless you’re hiding something or planning to do something wrong.

Governments love limiting strikes because strikes challenge employer and government power. It is tiring, but a truism that continues through the ages. ccla.org/fundamental-...

If road deaths were a virus, we’d call it a pandemic. Safer transport helps us all – and we need it urgently. Deaths on the road costs countries up to 5% of GDP. Centring transport around people, not cars, can propel development. www.theguardian.com/global-devel... via @theguardian.com @who.int

Elon Musk is a bandit. And Doug Ford just signed $100 million deal with him. Meanwhile he and Trump are trying to crush the people of Ukraine. Doug Ford says it's the "best bang for the buck." No Doug, this is what vichy collaborators do. Slava Ukraini

Doug Ford will do anything to avoid talking to Ontario voters and media, even if it means doing fake negotiations with a junior file clerk and the White House parking attendant. You called this unnecessary election, Doug. Get back here and defend your record. #OnPoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Imagine watching billionaires take over and thinking capitalism is still good. 🤦‍♀️

Can someone explain to Doug Ford that Elon Musk controls the functioning of Starlink and Musk can deactivate it any time he wants? You know, like, say, as part of an economic bullying strategy?
