More nurses or a tunnel? Seems like an easy choice to me Source: ONA

We kicked holocaust denier Ernst ZĆ¼ndel out of Canada. Why the hell would we let Elon Musk have any claim on Canada? He is a fascist threatening the people of Ukraine. I am proud to be helping drive this asshole from our shores. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Some people believe Doug Ford winning another majority is a foregone conclusion but I prefer to hope this election results in a Ford gone conclusion.

šŸšŸ¦«šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦ Check your riding to see which candidate has the best chance to beat the ConšŸ’© in your riding. Remember the goal is to rid ourselves of Doug FordšŸ’© & his continuing government corruption & attack on Public Healthcare. Advanced polling is available on Saturday February 22nd. #VoteFordOutšŸ‘Ž

Elon Musk is a bandit. And Doug Ford just signed $100 million deal with him. Meanwhile he and Trump are trying to crush the people of Ukraine. Doug Ford says it's the "best bang for the buck." No Doug, this is what vichy collaborators do. Slava Ukraini

We all paid for PC Party advertising. "More than two dozen television commercials, funded by Ontario taxpayers, were paused during the election period after the provinceā€™s auditor general deemed the advertising was ā€œdesigned to promote the governing partyā€ rather than the province itself." #OnPoli

CBC trying to explain how a "conversation" about whether Canada has a right to exist as a nation will be good because they have asked an American DJ to co-host. Like asking Ukraine to join a "conversation" with Russia about their borders. But don't worry it will be done with "care."

#Starlink is a threat to the sovereignty of any country that relies on it. Pay attention #Ontario. Cancel Starlink deal now and #voteFordout. Ford is selling Ontario to Musk among others. #cdnpoli #onpoli #Canadasky

Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist. I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps. But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation. Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

ā€œOntario's top bureaucrat is admonishing PC Leader Doug Ford and his staff for allegedly trying to use his Washington D.C. trip last week to the party's advantage in the election campaign.ā€ Time to stop calling Doug to the Principalā€™s office like this. Time to expel him once and for all.

Reposting with alt text. Doug Ford is setting us up for blackmail by President Musk. A very BIG reason to #VoteFordOUT, YUUUGE!! Donā€™t sleep on this election, Ontario. #ONpoli

Ontario engaged in a contract with Starlink, without properly opening the process to tender. Musk has shown that he will use Starlink to political ends. The deal stinks. The owner stinks. The deal should be ended immediately.

Ontario: It doesn't matter if polls say that Doug Ford's PCP is leading. Polls aren't elections. Don't let anything dissuade you from voting.

~The St. Albert Gazette has been knocking it out of the park in exposing #UCPCorruption Timeline of how lobbyists with ties to UCP pushed coal policy rewrite The coal industry hired at least 14 UCP insiders to lobby for favourable policy changes www.stalbertgazette.com/local-news/t...

Doug Ford needs to cancel Ontarioā€™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.

ā€œThe CBC shouldnā€™t ignore Donald Trumpā€™s annexation threats, but as a foundational element of Canadian culture, they have a public responsibility to fight it with extreme prejudice at every opportunity they get.ā€

I voted for Education. I voted for Healthcare. I voted for Housing. I voted for Affordability. I voted for the Environment. I voted. And you should, too. All I needed was my driverā€™s license. (I didnā€™t have my voter card.) www.elections.on.ca/en/voting-in...

If you are experiencing rage and despair about what is happening in America and the world right now because of the Trump-Vance-Musk regime, you are hardly alone. But a groundswell of opposition is growing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/ten-reasons-for-optimism

Well. You can comment here and let CBC know what you think of their "What? We're just asking a question?" radio show. "What does Canada as the 51st state mean to you?" www.cbc.ca/radio/checku...

Doug Ford is again face-timing in Washington and double-timing Ontario voters due to his absence, he wouldn't be able to respond. However, it's a good time to cut to the chase and vote him out. Schools? Why? Ford's extended mismanagement of everything he touches: www.auditor.on.ca/en/content/a...

On this day in 1967, Pierre Elliott Trudeau declared ā€œThereā€™s no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation,ā€ and since then, weā€™ve legalized same-sex marriage, banned conversion therapy, and fought to protect trans rights.

What a waste of a trip for these two. Who paid for this little excursion? It was you and me, the taxpayers. And why is NS Premier #TimHouston aligning himself with Ont. Premier #DougFord?? Itā€™s not a good look. #nspoli #cdnpoli halifax.citynews.ca/2025/02/21/p...?

Voted! You donā€™t need a voting card. Just ID. It took 5 minutes. Please donā€™t sleep on this one Ontario. Itā€™s too important.

Waiting to vote. Long line - voters are determined.

šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦WAKE UP, CANADAšŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦ On the same day that PP tweeted a video attacking the government's spending, he billed taxpayers $1,081.11 for travel from Ottawa to Toronto and back to Ottawa during that day. Entire video: vm.tiktok.com/ZMk3RYJng/

A private surgical company at the heart of allegations the Alberta government interfered to secure overpriced medical contracts was billing taxpayers more than twice as much per procedure than it would cost in a public hospital, according to AHS documents. globalnews.ca/news/1103041... #ABpoli

Bonnie Crombie šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦ - "Doug Ford is using your money to support the same people encouraging attacks on our independence. He can't be trusted as your premier." #cdnpoli #peipoli

Why tf would our national broadcaster give air time to Trump voters to legitimize the questioning of our sovereignty?

You know who called this months ago? @corruptario.bsky.social

Poilievre keeps saying he's going to cut to "bring down inflation," but inflation has been at the target for over six months. It's currently below two percent. Nobody ever mentions this. #PnPCBC

The Nazi salute shouldā€™ve been reason enough, but now the US is going to cut Ukraineā€™s access to Starlink if it wonā€™t hand over critical minerals. What happens when the US wants northern Ontarioā€™s resources? If Doug Ford really wants to ā€œProtect Ontario,ā€ he needs to #CancelStarlink now. #OnPoli
