"What we face is a U.S. president who is quite openly saying two things, over and over in public and on camera: he doesn’t believe that Canada should exist as a country... and so long as it does, any kind of industrial prosperity enjoyed on the north side of the border is by definition illegitimate"

As first reported by @jessiecatherine.bsky.social, @charliepinkerton.bsky.social & @jackhauen.bsky.social at The Trillium, two former Ford government staffers have been accused in a lawsuit of promising to help a developer get land rezoned for money. Full story 👇 www.thestar.com/news/the-for...

I've had a few questions about this story. The statement of claim was filed in mid-December. We found it after the campaign began through a routine court case search for notable names. It's a public document and you can read it yourself — it's linked in the story.
