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

Did you know products “Made in Canada” need to be only 51% Canadian, while items marked “Product of Canada” must be 98%? In the wake of economic tensions with US president Donald Trump, Canadian consumers are rethinking what it really means to buy local. thewalrus.ca/buy-canadian/

Why Cons are so corrupt and anti-Canadian, yet quite popular? 🤔

Please vote “NO $100 billion Tunnel!” Plug your nose and vote for the candidate that can overtake the “no show” PC candidate. Vote to STOP 🛑 this irresponsible spending. @tdotresident.bsky.social @corruptario.bsky.social

Big thanks to @cjhajer.bsky.social for getting this video to us. 🤩 What do you see here? Police against some terrorists/coup participants, or partners and friends?

Misleading? COME ON. Ontario is in the midst of the largest health care privatization effort since the Mike Harris days (who made off like a bandit with privatizing LTC care) 🙄🙄

reading the Toronto Region Board of Trade's latest congestion plan and it remains hilarious that in this city, "politely ask the police to enforce the highway traffic act, literally one of their basic jobs" is seen as a major action item bot.com/Resources/Re...

It is hard to believe that Ontarians have become so self-serving and greedy that they would still vote for Ford. environmentaldefence.ca/2025/01/29/h...

Can anyone in Ontario tell me, is this the For the People, Getting It Done, or Protect Ontario part?

EXACTLY the same as last time. I will say this, if I were living in a community where PC candidates didn't show up for town halls? They would NEVER get my vote. What is wrong with people? Seriously?

And Flip-Flop Pierre Poilievre is lying now, as he pivots and pretends he no longer supports Donald Trump. As he all of a sudden pretends Canada is now not-broken. An "intellectual bully." Too weak. Too little. Too late! #cdnpoli #peipoli

Beyond the fact that Police Associations and Police Unions should remain apolitical, one has to consider the optics of actively endorsing someone who is under criminal investigation.

"I said I was, then I wasn't, then I went ahead and did it," [Ford] said. "But in saying that … I’ve apologized to the people." Dear RCMP, I believe this constitutes a confession about the Greenbelt, no? Signed, Ontario Taxpayers

Doug Ford: No plan, no accountability. He doesn't care for you, never has, and never will. #OnPoli

Tell more people that defence spending was cut below 1% with Harper. Whenever I tell friends or relatives about that, they don't believe me. I tell them that Trudeau is the one who bumped it up, and they are shocked when they see the numbers. Now is the time for everybody to know this. #CdnPoli

Ontario has the largest, most expensive, and least effective government in Canada. How does Doug Ford have the lead?

Ontario’s debt has exploded under #DougFord. All while cutting healthcare, education, environmental protection. #Conservatives DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE BUDGET. They are NEVER good fiscal stewards. They always leave a giant fiscal mess & social harm. #Onpoli #VoteFordOut

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.

From the Fediverse: "Dutch pension fund ABP - which manages €544 billion as of December 2024 - is ditching Tesla, Facebook, and Google. Why? You know why. "... Americans have no idea what's begun here. The Netherlands alone is one of the largest investors in the US..."

“At every step of the way our government has made policy choices that have prioritized privatization and completely cast aside running the health system competently and meeting people’s need for health care.” #onPoli #onHealth

While this is promising we cannot rely on polls. We need to engage with friends and family about what’s at stake. There are many in this country who still think voting conservative is voting for the grand old party ….it is NOT. It is the party of Albertan separatists.

In Ontario, both the Libs and NDP labour under the delusion that "this is our time to win it all." It's not. What we need instead is for them to each maximize their potential by conceding to each other in ridings where they are running third. That's the only way to at least hold Ford to a minority.
