Hopefully it means something. The huge irony is Ontario polling shows big disapproval of Ford govt on housing, healthcare + most else. Yet they are 40 % + in the polls re who people will vote for.

Hopefully. And quickly. So much damage done already.

Doug Ford needs to cancel Ontario’s contract with Starlink now. Absolutely solidarity with Ukraine but also to avoid it being used as a bargaining chip by Musk and Trump against Canada. Right now, Premier Ford.

“A reminder to believe nothing you see or hear on CBC.” Because if you did, they’d keep the power to hold Pierre to account for the things he says and does! And god forbid anyone does that!! Chickenshit, autocratic rhetoric from a guy who keeps boosting bootlicker media

Canadians on here actually being like "I can't believe how bad things are getting in the US" without acknowledging Alberta just passed some of the harshest anti-LGBTQ+ laws and are about to vote Doug Ford back into power. Wakeup because the far right are in inside the building

I voted in Ontario’s advance polls today for the candidate who has the best chance of defeating the incumbent Conservative. Please vote wisely and strategically. Doug Ford must be swept away.

The lack of knowledge of how democratic systems work is a HUGE problem in Canada + elsewhere. It isn't really taught in schools here. That results in apathetic and/or disinformed voters. The trend is getting worse. To Canada's detriment.

Canada's automobile manufacturing industry, centered in southern Ontario is inevitably about to take a big hit. But so is the U.S. + Mexico auto industries. China a big winner.

Echoing his idols Musk and Orbán, piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre would, if elected, cancel the CBC and redirect funding to rightwing nutbar websites like True North (currently disguising itself as “Juno News”). 🍁🙄🍁 pressprogress.ca/pierre-poili...

I subscribe to the Waterloo Regional Recorder newspaper here in SW Ontario. Now, on its masthead is a red Canadian flag icon + "Canadian owned". It is part of the Toronto Star syndicate. Meanwhile, there are online posts to boycott the scores of Canadian papers owned by U.S. controlled Postmedia!

Polls show that rural Ontario - including Huron, Bruce, Grey, Perth, Wellington counties- are a total lock for Doug Ford's Conservatives despite the neglect. Unless a last week rebellion happens.

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

Utterly appalling. And because the Conservatives hold a huge majority in the provincial legislature, and have fairly strong poll numbers, they'll probably get away with this.

This column by Luke LeBrun is an important read. It outlines the torn down state of our media. The pernicious damage of biased algorithms on X + META. And how that affects public opinion + elections. Right now: Ontario.

The chipping away or dismantling of democratic structures is happening many places. Not just Nova Scotia + USA. Democracy is taken for granted by current generations. A lesson of Trump's demolition right now is: it can't be. Democracy is fragile + needs to be respected. Fought for if necessary.
