Anti-copyright theorists manage to hoodwink governments again and again using the same garbage talking points about workers’ rights hampering innovation. Enough! grahamlovelace.substack.com/p/comment-en...

Trudeau stans would do best to just let it go. The only way out is someone else. You had a decade. That’s a lot. If you feel stuff is left undone, that’s on your guy.

Please, please STOP with the AI generated videos and images. Literally, no actual human cares. You are just helping techno-fascists. That’s it. Enjoy a real human-created image of a cute dog.

So where are we? TFG is now openly threatening state governors in public addresses, and that other FG is making pill-fueled mania into a stage act while avoiding his fatherly duties? That’s it? Week 4 done? Yeah… this will end well.

The North Shore town of Thessalon rallied in freezing temperatures today for their hospital. Is the provincial government willing to see their citizens braving traffic on the side of the TransCanada in subzero temps before they fix the healthcare crisis? open.substack.com/pub/shorerep...

This is a vile betrayal. Parroting talking points from an actual dictator and suggesting Ukraine started the war. TFG has put the USA's global reputation in the toilet. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/w...

If folks want out of a Ford Ontario… deep breath… vote strategically riding by riding, and see what a Crombie/Stiles coalition government would bring. I see two leaders willing to put in the work there.

Want to Trump-proof our economy? Upgrade the east/west TransCanada Highway. Connect our cities with highspeed trains. Trade with Europe using shipping through the north. Use our established north/south routes to strengthen trade with Latin America.

I’d like every Southern Ontarian listening to Doug Ford brag about his highways plan to know Northern Ontario has thousands of kilometres of highways in need of safety upgrades. The north is the future of this province, yet 2% of the proposed highway spend goes north.

When this is all over, however that happens, let’s not forget how the super wealthy of Big Tech jumped right on the Trump train at the first opportunity. They have NEVER had anyone’s interest in mind but their own, and they are horrible people.

It bears repeating that Russia invaded Ukraine. We all saw it. The war would end in an instant if Putin stopped his aggression.

I live-blogged the Ontario leaders debate from North Bay. Instant analysis… I give this debate to Marit Stiles, closely followed by Bonnie Crombie. Ford’s 7-year record on northern issues is hard to defend at this point. Lots of promises. No delivery. www.facebook.com/share/p/1AKi...

Yeahhhh… this shit wasn’t funny the first time he said it. Doesn’t get funnier on repeat. Don’t cosy up to Putin one day and then eye our sovereignty the next. If anything, we’ll join Denmark in keeping TFG out of Greenland.
