Illegal lobbying, potentially illegal donations, Mr. X chairing fundraisers and getting favours for developers, and Doug Ford right at the heart of it all. Is this a provincial government or a Law & Order episode? Doug Ford needs to release his cell phone records because clearly he’s got a lot to hide.

It’s unacceptable for telecom giants like Rogers to gouge customers w/new credit card fees while raking in billions in revenue during an affordability crisis. Calling on Lib govt to: 1️⃣ Make Rogers reverse this unfair fee 2️⃣ Launch an independent audit on their merger commitments

Jean-Luc Mélenchon: "The countries of NATO account for 80% of the world's military spending. It is not true that the others are armed to the teeth against us. What is true is that we belong to a coalition that threatens everyone."

JUST IN: A MASSIVE GLOBAL REBUKE TO ISRAEL 151 COUNTRIES voted at the UN to affirm Palestine’s PERMANENT SOVEREIGNTY. Israel and the US were among just SEVEN countries that voted AGAINST. THE WORLD HAS SPOKEN.

Ford's government will tell you that there isn't enough money to invest in healthcare. That's simply not true. The truth is Ford is choosing not to ask his super rich donors to pay their fair share. The Ontario Greens are calling for a wealth tax in Ontario, so we can build a province that works for the many, not the money.

Serbian student movement pledges to halt arms trade with Israel and cancel joint drone manufacturing project —— Serbia’s rising political movement, the Student List, has unveiled a comprehensive programmatic commitment to immediately sever all arms trade with Israel, terminate a joint drone manufacturing venture with Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems, and dramatically scale up humanitarian aid for Palestine. In a recent interview with British media platform Novara Media, Student List representative Filip Ubović told journalist Aaron Bastani that the movement's platform explicitly vows to end military cooperation with Tel Aviv. Central to the pledge is halting the operations of SDS Technologies, a joint-venture drone facility opened in Belgrade in September 2026. The announcement follows a report published by Serbian outlet eKapija revealing that Serbian military exports to Israel totaled approximately $132 million between 2023 and 2025. Drawing parallels to Serbia's own historical experiences with displacement and war, the Student List's program states that the nation "will not be complicit in the systematic attempt to destroy the Palestinian people that Israel is carrying out in the Gaza Strip." Ubović emphasized that the movement is committed to opposing the subjugation of weaker populations by stronger military powers, combining its foreign policy pivot with expanded humanitarian relief for Palestine.

thegrindmag.ca/israel-engage… During the election for Mayor in Toronto, hundreds of Twitter accounts siding with Brad Bradford had Israeli flags added to their name. The interference was so blatant it made my head shake. This must be addressed by CSIS/RCMP immediately, and charges laid

Profoundly disagree with @juliedabrusin claiming the @Govenrment of Canada is “absolutely committed to our Paris commitments.” The reality is that we’re not! My thoughts here: backchannel1.substack.com/p/… Je suis en profond désaccord avec @juliedabrusin qui affirme que le Canada est « totalement engagé à respecter nos engagements de Paris ». La réalité est que nous les avons abandonnés.

The University of Toronto has let down Canadian Muslim, Arab, Palestinian students, staff, and faculty. MCRO was at Queen's Park today with advocates calling for fair treatment and adoption of the new report that makes it clear that systemic racism and discrimination must be addressed.

How is it legal for a national newspaper to publish a threat that leads to this level of concern? Will Postmedia's American backers be expected to pay for this?

The images of kids submerged in freezing floodwater, in flimsy tents that won't survive another winter, make me SICK. I think of Primo Levi’s words that every European learns by heart at school - only to forget when entering politics or diplomacy. The shame of our time.
Palestinians are crying for help from sewage-flooded tents. In just 12 hours, 70,000 tents have been submerged in floodwater and sewage after heavy rains.

If the Ford government wants to protect Ontario’s farmland, it has a lot more work to do. Whether they’re from Ontario or not, wealthy developers are buying up Ontario’s farmland. That’s why we need a Foodbelt to end speculation and permanently protect it. Join the fight at gpo.ca/foodbelt

Canadian Foreign Minister @AnitaAnandMP has announced that Canada is reimposing sanctions against 11 Iranian entities “for contributing to the Iranian regime’s proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities…” Iran has no nuclear weapons and is a member of the non-proliferation treaty, whereas Israel, a state that is committing genocide, possesses nukes and is the only state in West Asia that is not a member of the non-proliferation treaty. Why doesn’t Mark Carney’s government sanction Israeli entities that contribute to Israel’s nuclear weapons program? Is this what Carney meant when he told the adoring Davos crowd that Canada would apply the same standards to allies and rivals?

🇮🇱israel is erecting a six-meter-high razor-wire barrier around Sinjil in the occupied West Bank, effectively imprisoning 8,000 Palestinians and cutting them off from their farmland and livelihoods. This is not security. It is collective punishment and land dispossession.

An Al Jazeera investigation has documented evidence of Israeli soldiers joining settler attacks in civilian clothes and then returning back to the same villages they attacked in military uniforms. Al Jazeera’s @emma_withrow explains.

Christmas came early for CEOs thanks to this Liberal government. Hundreds of billions of dollars in corporate handouts, excessive military spending and oil pipelines the private sector won't touch, but not one extra dime for pharma care, dental care or child care. (1/2)

A majority of Americans support universal healthcare, this is not complicated, our for profit privatized healthcare system is immiserating and killing people. This should be at the top of the agenda. The fact that after a Dem mandate this massive it’s still being framed this way shows who these people actually work for
HAMILTON: “I don't think Medicare for all is the right approach. And even though it sounds great, I don't think it's going to pass… I think what we need to do is figure out, how do we ensure that everyone has access to affordable health care, no matter who they are? But I think even using the term Medicare for all alienates a whole group of people that we need to be able to pass some kind of health care reform that allows everyone to have affordable health care.”
