Ph.D. Liberal. Pro-democracy and human rights. Freedom without accountability is freeDUMB and an excuse for abuse. Strong social support systems and a sense of community promote equity and are guardrails to fascism. Living in 🇨🇦 capitol.

Bringing my pinned Tweet along with me as I migrate here because this still matters & because we cannot normalize what Trump intends to do to DOJ. Justice should never be a political tool for presidents & their pals.

Times are tough at the other place.

Canada has Trump as our neighbour. We have a Maple MAGA LOO who wants to be our PM. And I have a Trump supporter as my premier. The bad, the worse, and the WORST combo. 😭 #uspoli #cdnpoli #onpoli

My nephew's article in The Star, which apparently has p*ssed off both Doug Ford and Olivia Chow. #TOpoli #ONpoli www.thestar.com/sports/santa...

Weekly reminder that there are 240,000 homeless people in Ontario. To give this context, there are 600,000 homeless people in the US, which has 10X Canada’s population. This is the result of provincial government policy. Imagine how we could change this with Universal Basic Income. #onpoli

#FordFailedOntario This needs to be investigated further. We need to dig deep. Doug Ford is corrupt. @maritstilesndp.bsky.social @colindmello.bsky.social #onpoli Ontarians deserve the truth! #OntarioNDP youtu.be/L9fXxcg6Ct0?...

NEW: Ontario's Liberals are releasing what they are calling "hidden" healthcare data on access to primary care: - 3 million people are at risk of losing their family doctor in the next 5 years, with 2,300 family doctors on the verge of retirement. #onpoli

Dam right it's worse. Doug Ford and Sylvia Jones are deliberately letting our healthcare system burn to the ground so they can bring privatization to the rescue. We are Canada, not the USA. This needs to be exposed!!! Ontarians have had enough. We need to fight! #onpoli @maritstilesndp.bsky.social

Hi, I’m God. Thou shalt not steal. That includes taking from the poor and giving it to the rich.

I've been seeing a lot of people on the left and right talking about the 2024 election as if it was a landslide. So I made this chart to put things in context. Trump's win was one of the smallest in modern history.

Kamala Harris talked about Project 2025 in literally every campaign speech she gave. I’m all for searching for constructive solutions but this is just insisting Democrats do something they already did in a losing effort.

“Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours”

0.5-0.8%. When you take a step back it’s striking how much of the discussion about the carbon tax in Canada - the easiest and least intrusive environmental policy intervention available, more or less, which conservatives say drives up food prices - is predicated on a total lie.

"He asked why British far-right figurehead Tommy Robinson had been imprisoned at all. Musk also approvingly shared Robinson’s documentary to his more than 200 million followers" Musk's interventions should be taken seriously. The ideological leanings of oligarchical media barons can affect us all.

I wrote about the weaponisation of Captain Tom - with uncharacteristic caution - at the time for @bylinetimes.bsky.social - it wasn't just his family that was using his legacy. It was the government too - who were desperate to associate the pandemic with the war. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trickle down economics explained. It is like letting someone steal all your money. Then expecting them to buy things for you.

IF YOU RELY ON ADDERALL—YOU SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT RFK JR Not just skeptical of Adderall for ADHD—he’s pushing to ban it. The recovering heroin addict is promoting “wellness farms” to get people off Adderall, SSRIs & other meds. His fear-driven rhetoric suggests serious restrictions are coming.

During the great recession, 3.2 million homes were closed on. Undocumented workers own 3.4 milon homes.

Rampell: Do you know that there actually was bipartisan legislation intended to to increase our fentanyl detection technologies at the border. And Trump killed it.

WASH POST: “Americans want lower prices. Too bad: Trump wants tariffs.” Republicans think Trump will deliver them, even as they support his tariffs/trade war which promises to do the opposite. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is the guy who threw gravel at PM Trudeau and plead guilty to common assault, shaking hands with Pierre Poilievre as Poilievre smiles. #cdnpoli #peipoli

#cdnpoli Pierre Poilievre is the principal beneficiary of the very #foreigninterference he’s been ignoring. “Despite significant evidence of foreign interference from Russia and India, Poilievre refuses to get security clearance so he can pretend it doesn’t exist.” cultmtl.com/2024/10/fore...

Devastating. How can leaders not want to do everything now to tackle the climate crisis so we can avoid so many more tragic and unnecessary deaths in the future. We have the solutions. Enough excuses and delays. Time for leaders to lead. #COP29
