I called Canadian Premiers Doug Ford and Wab Kinew today as we try to find a way through this unnecessary and costly trade war. While the President may not value the partnerships that contribute billions of dollars to our economy, Minnesota does.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022. The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion. Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

Evidently Doug Ford is blaming ER wait times “ on people with a scraped knee or whatever” Weird. I blame them on Ontario being run by an incompetent, corrupt, moron or whatever. #onted #FireFord #onpoli #NeverVoteConservative

“Ontario has effectively reduced per-student funding by $1,500 since the 2018-19 fiscal year. Today, classrooms across Ontario have 4,990 fewer educators.” A manufactured crisis right out of the Con playbook. Don’t give Doug 4 more years to keep destroying public ed. #OntEd #OnPoli #EduSky

If the Therme spa were put to a referendum it would lose. If the Starlink deal were put to a referendum it would lose. If the exploitation of the Greenbelt were put to a referendum it would lose. If the Ford government’s stewardship of health care were put to a referendum it would lise.

Hey, what's up! Watching the show 'Doc' and they insult Canada in the script. (Slight by patient in wheelchair, he says, why the long wait? What is this, Canada?) Not impressed. The show is on Global in Canada, but aired by FauX in US. So, are they attacking Canada for fRump now?

A reminder: Tariffs are a regressive tax that drives up prices on everyday goods. They disproportionately hurt the working class and poor who bear the brunt of higher costs while wealthier consumers feel significantly less impact.

The areas of focus in Grades 1 and 2 should be reading, writing, math, and self-regulation. Science and social studies should be inquiry-based and ungraded. Dance, drama, music, visual arts, and physical education should be taught by specialist educators and should also be ungraded. #OntEd

Doug Ford is giving everyone $200 in the new year. That’s over $3 Billion. What would $3 Billion buy? An additional 3000+ teachers for the next 10 years. OR Build 120 new schools. OR 8.6 Million iPads.
