Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau chimed in online after Canada beat the United States in the 4 Nations Face-Off final. đź”— www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

Doug Ford wants you to stay home.

Don't support a corrupt Doug Ford government. Send him a message that we need an Ontario that builds better lives for all. Not just his rich friends. Vote for the candidate in your riding that can contribute to kicking him out.

Joke: What’s the difference between a Canadian and an American? The Canadian knows the difference.

Ontario's PC Office sharing clips of elected officials-candidates from other parties demonstrating a commitment to democracy, fidelity to evidence, and respect for the wisdom of their constituents. The P.C. candidate did not show up for this local election debate. #Weird #CTS

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

This cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social is getting banned on Twitter. Because of course it is.

A thing to keep in your back pocket if Poilievre and the Conservatives start trying to distance themselves from their ideological bedfellows in the United States: Just this past November Poilievre was fundraising off an Alex-Jones-level conspiracy theory about people being forced to eat bugs.

Trump and Putin meeting to “negotiate peace” on anything should be seen for what it is — two criminals discussing how to split the loot.

Resist. Defend. Fight. Now is the time when we must act for the future. A world based on social justice. That places value on every human life. Where our environment is protected and preserved. We. Must. Reject. The. Forces. That. Want. To. Destroy. A. Better. Life. For. All.

Why is a functional healthcare system not a priority for the Doug Ford government but a sweetheart deal for a private spa complex is

Man who has spent entire political career attacking everybody promises he’ll attack Trump and Elon any minute now

"Doug Ford is uniquely unqualified and unsuited to be a leader for this moment. His years in office have been defined by shortages — a lack of homes, doctors, teachers, jobs, skilled workers, subways, buses, and bike lanes." Thank you @justinling.ca! www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

The lack of municipal sidewalk clearing is ridiculous. We're literally sending people to an early grave over heart attacks and back injuries This council has failed to deliver. Time to organize for elected officials who understand accessibility. #snowbilitywr

If you think Amsterdam managed to avoid being overrun by cars, you’re wrong. They too surrendered their streets to cars for many decades. But the people fought back, and forced leaders to see their mistake. There's nothing magical about #Amsterdam. They just saw their mistake, and changed it.

It is insane that our premier called an election to try to use Trump as a way to get himself more years in power — and distract from his corruption scandals and abysmal record on education, healthcare, and housing.

Call me crazy, but I think we need to stop listening to all of the Canadian political and business leaders telling us we just need to make a deal with Trump and then things will be okay.

You are making a big difference in standing up to tyranny. Your decision to cancel the family trip to the United States is freaking them out. As Donald insults our nation, businesses are watching our tourism dollars dry up. Boycott all trips to the United States. www.thetravel.com/us-travel-as...

Beyond crushing. Nature released a study a little while ago proving these policies increase suicide attempts among trans kids — and lawmakers pursue them anyways. Cruel beyond comprehension. I am so sorry this is happening.

Kicking farmers off their land is indefensible - especially for an undisclosed & uncosted mega-industrial project. Province is funding & driving this process - wouldn’t be happening if Ford didn’t approve… #FightForFarmland #onpoli www.ctvnews.ca/kitchener/ar...

Hello all! I'm Christine. Nice to meet you! Lets give this Bluesky platform a go eh? I'll be posting the top stories and breaking news from Waterloo Region and beyond for you - coming from 570 NewsRadio. kitchener.citynews.ca/audio/ 🎙️📻🎧

It’s VERY important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against downtown bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of the evidence that they are better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Bike-lanes mean business.

Now is the time to start building the Canada of the future. We will not go back.

We need to Trump-proof Canada.

Doug Ford speaking with supporters about Trump at an event on Monday: “On Election Day was I happy this guy won? 100% I was. Then the guy pulled out the knife and f**ing yanked it in me”

So Trump delays tariffs on Canada and Mexico at the last minute, after the stock market and Canadian dollar tanked. Now if they rebound, anyone who had “bought the dip,” perhaps (let’s just imagine), because they knew this was going to happen, would end up with a lot more money. Interesting.

Now it's in the Toronto Star. Opposition parties need to constantly remind Ontario voters that Ford was 'happy' when Donald Trump got elected. www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

Yes. The bully got out lunch money. He's coming back in a month for more. And he'll keep coming back with new conditions whenever he feels like it until we stand up to him.

I was at the Anne Frank House today. I left thinking the Americans didn't get the "Never again' message.

Don't be fooled by Trump's temporary deal with Mexico. Sounds like a classic bully tactic. He made a threat and got something as a result. Now he gets a chance to get more in a month. He wants to keep them anxious and making concessions as long as possible.

Vive le Canada ✌️❤️🇨🇦

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

What's Doug Ford doing when Ontario needs him? Looking after himself and his ability to help his rich friends of course. Throw the corrupt Ford government out!

Dear People of Ontario, Please vote. More information here: www.elections.on.ca/en.html?fbcl...

Congratulations @beyondhousing.ca and WCSWR on this exciting and important announcement! "A new deeply affordable development in Kitchener will see 20 townhomes built for women who are victims of intimate partner violence, and their children." www.therecord.com/news/waterlo...

The rejuvenation of East Downtown Kitchener takes another step. Great to see having shared my perspectives from King and Ottawa.

Universal basic income is the answer. It's a foundation. It's a master key that unlocks many doors. It's not everything we need, but it's the one thing that makes everything else we need more possible to obtain.
