Made my plan to vote tomorrow. Doug Ford sucks. Make your plan today and cast a ballot for someone else tomorrow.

ONTARIO! Please send this article by @davidmoscrop.com to everyone you know 🙏🏼 #ONelxn

Doug Ford, who is destroying Ontario's healthcare system, thinks you can't see past his bullshit about the causes of the province's emergency room crisis. Please, please vote for somebody else. www.davidmoscrop.com/p/when-it-co...

Alcohol in private stores: $1.4 billion Building infrastructure for a private spa: $2.2 billion Redundant highway: $10 billion Cost of Ford’s government: 73% increase Early election with a majority already: $175 million Doug Bucks election bribes: $3 billion Defenestrating Doug: Priceless

Sheryl Crow: “My parents always said you are who you hang out with. There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla. Money donated to NPR, which is under threat by President Musk, in hopes the truth will…find its way to those willing to know [it].”

This is true. Ford has been brutal on housing; farcical on planning and infrastructure; skeevy on corruption; absent on health care and education. He's dragging the province backwards, and the effects will be felt for generations.

So we’ve got Doug Ford saying he was 100% thrilled Trump won the election, we’ve got Poilievre’s CPC saying Canadians being patriotic because of Trump is a problem for the CPC campaign, and there’s Danielle Smith enjoying brunch crepes at Mar-a-Lago. These Conservatives are just not worth the cost.

Hallway Medicine. Endless Wait Times. Overworked Staff. Ontario’s Healthcare System is Facing It’s ‘Worst Crisis’ Ever. ‘Healthcare in Ontario has never been in such disarray’, experts say pressprogress.ca/hallway-medi...

I had to drop some things to a person waiting (for 16 hours!!) in emerg in a St Catharines hospital today. The state of the place was horrifying. Waiting room packed. Patients lining the halls & sleeping on floors. Every voter should see this. Doug Ford is killing Ontario. #onpoli

Happy Expired Ham Day to those who celebrate

Please enjoy my cartoon for Thursday's Toronto Star

All the things Canada was talking about this morning to Trump-proof ourselves? Still a good idea.

Shopify is a toxic brand.

Ontario universities are cut to the bone. They're being financially strangled by the Ford government, via a merciless, stupid tuition freeze and the lowest per student funding in Canada, ever. If this gov't is re-elected, one of the best uni systems in the world is dead.

Die Zeit won't even show the salute.

It's been bugging me for days. I've been trying to figure out who Mark Zuckerberg reminded me of and I finally realized it was Mrs Roper from Three's Company.🤦🏻‍♀️

Found elsewhere but…

people have this attitude toward opting out of certain platforms that it means you’re somehow giving up or ceding a battle — the whole “I’m staying on X to fight!” — mentality. quit Facebook. quit X. quit insta! ingesting carcinogens daily isn’t fighting cancer, it’s giving yourself cancer

Sitting down for an 'interview' with Jordan Peterson should be politically disqualifying.

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image. All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

Required reading. Verbalizing what I’ve been trying to articulate for years since watching my parents go down a MAGA rabbit hole. Something’s got to give.

It won't be just the LA Times and Washington Post. It will be your employer, your university, your school district, and your local elected officials. They will all cave and engage in anticipatory obedience to fascism because of their cowardice and greed. Your institutions will not save you.

the only sane way to "fix" the republican party is destroy every bit of its institutional power and beat them in elections for like 15 years in a row. it requires ditching the filibuster, admitting new states, reforming the courts, killing gerrymandering, and being ruthlessly partisan

"The company whose planes are all falling apart in the sky has stranded two astronauts in space until next year" is a real thing that sounds entirely made up

"Rick Scott helped overturn rules that would have protected retirees from being ripped off by financial advisers" there you go, there's the ad. repeat in every other state with an incumbent Republican

It's fun to swat down the latest lazy attacks from the Trump campaign -- is Harris *really* black? did Walz *really* serve in the National Guard? -- but these are just distractions from the real issue: These are deeply weird people with a deeply disturbing agenda.
