Olivia reduced 911 response times and kept libraries open longer, built way more affordable housing than Ford. She also filled more pot holes and got more road work done. What has Brad done?

Toronto mayoral candidate Brad Bradford has a slew of questionable supporters, including the CEO of Shopify, and the founder of Rebel News. @DesmondCole explains that Bradford’s endorsements shows his proximity to anti-democratic, right-wing rhetoric.

Toronto has clean water, cheap rates, and a top-tier system. But Brad’s water privatization plan will put us at risk💧 Experts like former Mayor David Miller are speaking out. Listen to Miller share why Brad’s plan is the first step to privatization & why he doesn’t trust him ⬇️

Ford threatens to cut electricity exports to the U.S. And now, Ontario is contracting 600 MW of American generating capacity while cutting its electricity rebate from 23.5% to 15.7%. 🤔 Our Chair, Jack Gibbons, calls out the irony. shrlnk.ca/s/biyUnbY2

As climate change reshapes the Arctic — particularly the sea ice polar bears rely on to travel and hunt — Inuit are seeing the animals at different times of year and in places they were rarely encountered before. nationalobserver.com/2026/10…

In a warming Arctic, Inuit bear guards protect communities

Traditional knowledge and specialized training are helping people adapt to a changing landscape as polar bears appear in new places and at different times.

Private companies know there’s no business case for more pipelines when renewables have never been cheaper, cleaner, and faster to deploy. So the government is about to invest OUR money instead. Most Canadians agree: NO taxpayer-funded pipelines >> act.gp/4pydJhN

Even the oil companies don't want to pay for new pipelines!

Our government shouldn’t gamble our money and our future on pipelines.

Promising to build more nuclear power is a political path to climate action delay and a distraction from a sustainable and decarbonized energy system transition. theenergymix.com/nuclear-ene…

Nuclear Energy Undermines Climate Action

If the goal is to keep fossil fuel-fired plants operating as long as possible, promising to build more nuclear energy has definite appeal.
