Reminder that when the Freedom Convoy began, Doug Ford went AWOL snowmobiling in the Muskokas, did little to nothing to support the City of Ottawa as the second biggest city in the province descended into anarchy for 3 weeks, then later refused to testify at the emergencies act inquiry

"For years, the federal government hired people for all the wrong reasons. It filtered candidates based on integrity, experience, and diversity of perspective. The new administration is replacing this approach with a better, fairer system: hiring whoever yells the loudest."

If you haven’t figured out that Pierre Poilievre isn’t fit to run our country yet, his interview with Jordan Peterson should seal the deal. The idiocy on display is top-notch.

As cool as this place is, the vibe and ethos was primarily created by the early users, mostly the black and trans community. Even if you're here for no reason other than it's a chill place to chat about plants and post cat photos, this core ethos is why you can and even want to do that here. 1/2

NEW: After reviewing leaked documents, we have found UnitedHealth is strategically limiting access to a treatment for thousands of children with autism across the country in order to cut costs. Advocates say the company’s strategy may be illegal. www.propublica.org/article/unit... 👇

When it comes to the homeless, Ford wants to know where every penny is going. “Organizations and municipal entities that receive funding will be required to submit spending plans to the province for review and approval, Ford said.” We’d like the same for Ontario Place, the OSC, and Metrolinx Doug.

Great fun, rolling blackouts in Toronto in December. Thanks Doug Ford! This hasn’t happened since the Harris days, but good thing you fired the million dollar man and made our hydro so much more reliable, right?

This holiday season, Doug Ford is gifting his insider pals a luxury spa and sticking you with the bill: It'll cost $400 for every single household.

Jesse Singal is a liar and a fraud of a journalist and I will prove it as an unassailable fact in this thread. I'll also talk about why I don't think BlueSky moderation will do anything about him afterwards so stick around or maybe just skip to that if you don't want to read the boring details.

IMPORTANT: Finland is building the world’s largest heat pump to warm homes in Helsinki. It would decarbonize the city’s district heating system by end of 2026. “Helsinki has set the ambitious goal to become carbon neutral by 2030, and transitioning our heating system is crucial to achieving this.”

Doug Ford’s government has decimated health care in this province. No respect for anyone who supports this thuggish and corrupt administration.

And Poilievre is still standing up for his “whistleblower” that torpedoed Brown’s campaign, even though Brown was exonerated. Poilievre truly has no shame (or charisma).

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all. Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.
