Poor Jesus pulled off the cross and hauled around by the guy living in a 19 room mansion. All to feed his rage farm. Blessed are the poor. Blessed are the peacemakers. Woe to the rich. Poor Jesus.
No matter what your political or religious affiliation is, a man who aspires to becoming Prime Minister of Canada saying this should terrify you. ⁦@CBCNews⁩ ⁦@CTVNews⁩ ⁦⁦@globalnews⁩ ⁦@globeandmail⁩ , maybe you should be reporting on this?

Doug Ford trashed Ontario Place. He shut down the Science Centre (prime real estate for developers). He has trashed health care. Now he is targeting the LCBO - which brings $2.5 bil into Ontario coffers every year. He is selling this province off like a cheap grifter.
Wake up Ontario. Learn the facts of Doug Ford & LCBO. Learn the facts on OSC & Ontario Place. Every move Ford makes moves public tax dollars into corporate profits. Read, learn, educate yourself. Two things Ford counts on; apathy & ignorance. Don't give it to him.

… Just for the record. History is repeating itself
March 1933 The Enabling Act becomes law in Germany, giving the chief executive power enforce his own laws without checks and balances. The passing of the Act marked the formal transition from democratic republic to totalitarian dictatorship. 6 months later, it was a 1 party state

After years of neglect, the Ford gov’t closed the Ontario Science Centre today. Instead of spending $5 million per year over 50 years to maintain the Science Centre for our kids, he’s spending 4X as much in 1 year - $1B - on privatizing booze sales. bit.ly/3W3d5vX

Dr. Sereda is on the front lines of the opioid epidemic. She represents the best of public medicine. Pierre Poilievre is a cynical shit bird who will say anything to score a cheap point. His MPs are even lower on the rung. We need to defend our doctors. lfpress.com/news/local-news/…

#ONpoli "We can't possibly spend $22 Million to repair the Science Centre... we need that money to advertise how 7-Eleven is selling booze now."

This is horrifying. The war crimes committed by the Israeli army continue to mount. Tying wounded civilians to the front of a military column is the work of a terror state. It is time for Canada to work with the international community on full sanctions and a total boycott.
The Israeli army using an injured Palestinian civilian as a human shield tied to the front of a military jeep in Jabriyat (Jenin, WB) this morning. The same army which is justifying its war of annihilation in Gaza based on the human shielding argument.

Really?! People don't have access to affordable housing and reliable healthcare, and you're spending time complaining about "woke" donut shops. This desire to go viral on social media is not public service. Embarassing and a disservice to voters.
Tim’s used to be for the little guy who wanted a quick coffee and a bite. Now they’re making pizzas and crappy paper lids. I’m done with Tim Hortons until they stop trying to push these woke paper lids that dissolve in your mouth.

Imagine if the students at @Ucalgary had thought to bring Fuck Trudeau flags, weapons and demands take on the World Economic Forum maybe Calgary cops would have given them hugs. Instead they were simply asking for an end to the killing of children in Gaza. The world is watching.
Horrifying scenes from @UCalgary which called the police on protestors within the first day. They allegedly used tear gas and shot paintballs at protestors. Shame on UofC. Also, same police that arrested a Muslim man in November 2023 for saying ‘from the river to the sea’*

Cease-fire now. Restore aid to the children in Gaza. Investigate both the Israeli army and Hamas for war crimes against the innocents. Impose serious sanctions on the criminal gangs calling themselves "settlers." Canada needs to speak up for international law.
“I want to go back to my school, I miss my teachers and my friends,” says 11-year-old Maha, in Rafah, Gaza. The children of Gaza have a right to be safe, to be in school, to be supported. They need a humanitarian ceasefire. Now.

Pierre Poilievre's front line are sock puppets of Galen Weston. Freaking lobbyists for Loblaws. This guy doesn't have your back. He works for Galen.

Children of Eabametoong First Nation desperately need a school. The community needs fire fighting equipment. The greatest wealth in the nation is not the minerals in the so-called Ring of Fire but in the potential of this young generation. @PattyHajdu

Either Canada supports the international "rules based order" or it doesn't. South Africa's petition before the ICJ is legitimate and worthy of being heard. It is up to the court to decide. The PM needs to state clearly that Canada supports the court. ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/n…

I was honoured to sign this global call for a cease fire in Gaza. Too many innocent civilians are being killed. We need to push for a return of the hostages. An end to the indiscriminate killing and a plan to get aid to people in Gaza parliamentariansforceasefire…

Poilievre's Conservatives are looking to pull Canada out of the UN and the WHO. It's all about stopping Bill Gates. This isn't harmless nut jobbery - this is extremist disinformation from Poilievre's front bench. pressprogress.ca/conservativ…

Despite Shatkins’ complaints about Alex draining the #BlueJays prospects for the 2015/16 run, we don’t have much to offer (except Ricky) in terms of a big trade - after 8 years. Why not? Is scouting an issue? Not looking like the farm system is #NextLevel. thestar.com/sports/blue-jays…

Maybe with a small part of the $700M (US) savings from not signing Ohtani, the #Rogers people can afford to rehire @benwag247 and travel the radio crew for the 2024 season. Just a thought.

Loblaws made more than half a billion dollars in profits last quarter, while food bank usage skyrocketed. Independent grocers are saying a code of conduct would level the playing field and wouldn’t raise prices. If Galen Weston doesn't like it, it's probably a good idea.
