If you believe Donald Trump (USA), Xi Jinping (China), Vladimir Putin (Russia) & Narendra Modi (India) all want @JustinTrudeau gone so Canada has a better democracy, then you really are too stupid to be given a vote. They want to undermine Canada by removing a strong government

Finland gave every homeless person a house and within 6 months 85% had a job and were financially independent.
Less crime, less hospital visits, less suffering and even including the cost of the house, LESS COST than the UK/USA method of abandoning them on the streets.

The Governor General doesn’t have the power or authority to recall the House.
Poilievre knows this. He’s purposely misleading Canadians.
HE’S LYING TO YOU.

Being genuinely curious about other people can make us more likable, persuasive, and empathetic, as well as improve our relationships. Here's how, explains @jeffreywetzler psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…

Donald Trump, a self-confessed sexual assaulter, being named Time's Person of the Year over Gisele Pelicot, who was drugged & raped by her husband & 100 men for YEARS, and who waived anonymity to change the world for women, shows you exactly why women are rightly fucking ANGRY.

Doug Ford is wasting $2.2 billion of your money to build a private spa nobody wants while destroying the Science Centre that everyone valued. The Minister of Infrastructure should resign and the Ford government needs to be replaced.
Time to go
If you've noticed a sharp rise in commercials promoting the Ontario government's success, the Auditor General has taken note as well.
The Ford gov't has spent $103M on the ads, higher than any other gov't.
AG: "the primary objective of the ad is to foster a positive impression of the governing party"

Crown Coporations don't lose money. They aren't meant to turn a profit. They exist to provide a service that cannot be fully met hy the private sector. Framing this as a loss is disingenuous and damaging to our society. #canada #cdnpoli

Every Monday, I like to share a bit of nostalgia to help everyone's day get off to a good start.
This week, it is The Log Driver's Waltz, one of the most famous pieces of animation in Canadian history courtesy of the NFB, Wade Hemsworth and Kate and Anna McGarrigle!
The wrong priorities that is for sure.
During the biggest pandemic in 100 years, Doug Ford’s PC gov’t left it to volunteers to create a system to locate life-saving vaccines.
Less than 3 days into the #LCBO strike, his gov’t has made and launched an interactive map to locate alcohol anywhere in Ontario.

Someone just pointed out that the Ford government created an interactive map that shows 2,300 places where you can easily and conveniently buy liquor. So why the billion dollar pay-out to put it in convenience stores if it's already so easily available outside of LCBO?

Remember when Mayor Rob Ford privatized garbage collection for half of Toronto? We now know that this didn't save Toronto taxpayers any money. All it did was eliminate decent union jobs with benefits in favour of jobs from temp agencies.
Privatization only benefits the rich.
