Every young Canadian deserves a good paying job but in Canada right now, youth unemployment is the highest it’s been since the 90s—more than double the overall rate. And in Alberta, it’s the highest in the country. Young people are being left behind. Lets get young people working again!

"The Chinese are also saying to themselves, what is actually the value of an agreement with this guy if he's ready to tear up an agreement with his two closest allies and neighbours?" — @thomaslfriedman.bsky.social on Trump and China, with @spaikin.bsky.social on TVO Today Live. Airs June 9 at 9pm

Depressing that after years and years so many untruths are still being repeated - the Vaughan extension is not shut down on weekends, the Ontario line isn't going to be "filled in", light rail is not rapid transit, Toronto is in a region! youtu.be/FNd-_OsCyik?...
