In light of Loblaw's inept efforts on social media to justify its super-sized inflation-fueling profits, this is an opportune time to remind shoppers of four crucial economic facts regarding supermarket profitability: 🧵xitter.cf/loblawco/status/162047… #cdnecon /2

I am not an Ontarian, or a teacher, or an education assistant, but I have a perspective on the Ford government’s “Keeping Students in Schools Act”. I was Minister of Education in Alberta for 7 years, including the time the Charter was developed and enacted. #onted #onpoli

Pro-lifers don't like complexity. At 17 weeks my placenta detached and he was much too small. I thought I felt my baby's frantic attempts to breathe. My OBGYN advised me to terminate the pregnancy, there wasn't much time. But I couldn't.

Hi! I've been a researcher on this exact topic. The weapon (or lack thereof) doesn't matter if method substitution occurs or weapons are obtained from illegal sources. Without absolute numbers or ability to show causal reduction year-on-year this is useless data.

Sorry, but we can't stay silent on this one, it's just far too cynical. What 🇷🇺 is doing in 🇺🇦 is slaughtering innocent children, women and men for its own gain. It's definitely not "fighting Nazism". Shame on anyone who's falling for this. (Sadly, we're kinda experts on Nazism.)

Remarkable speech. Addressed to the Russian people, it should also be heard everywhere.

Every journalism school should make students study this incident before they’re allowed to get a statement from cops about anything.

Thread: 1/About 15 years ago, on a plane from LA to Toronto, I was struggling to get my bag into a crowded overhead bin. An old man offered to move his suitcase into a different position so I could fit mine in.

incredible admission hidden in this statement: that you can’t do anything about the climate if you’re a liberal Environment and Climate Change Minister

After a lot of reflection, I decided I wanted to spend more time on the two things that matter most to me: my kids & the climate. Huge thanks to the people of Ottawa Centre & Canadians. It's been such an honour. 🙏❤️
