I’m deeply troubled by the Toronto Star’s reporting that the Ford government hid a study showing problem gambling rates significantly higher than expected. Ontarians deserve transparency, not a government that keeps them in the dark. As premier, I’ll put an end to Ford’s harmful online gambling advertising scheme and make sure Ontarians have the treatment and support they need to recover from gambling addiction. #ONpoli

With Navarro and Hoekstra repeating this odd "Canada better not interfere in our election" nonsense... are the Republicans anticipating that the midterms will go so poorly for them they are pre-spinning a narrative?

If you support public drug use and public disorder we have a Toronto mayoral candidate for you. There's an alternative called safe use sites with proven police and survival data. In 10 years, Canada had 6 million visits to safe use sites. 70,000 overdoses. None died.

Imagine seeing this daily horror and saying that the one who "needs to go" is the leader of the victim country and not the aggressor country. What moral idiocy. What cowardice.
The russians bombed a supermarket in Odesa. Make no mistake. Everyone who wants peace bombs grocery stores, churches, kindergartens and playgrounds. Those who want war bomb the aggressor's war machine. Welcome to 1984.

Zelensky: It's a pity that we are losing a strong partner. Morgan: You think you're losing America? Zelensky: Yeah, but not because of us. We can’t be weak. Otherwise, we can’t survive… This is why it’s painful when Trump chooses to be on Russia’s side. This is not the right side of history.

β€˜Let Alberta lead - not leave’. Great line by @MarkJCarney at the end of one very dynamic speech. #cdnpoli

This is great. I worried the lack of a federalist GoTV effort could see the separatists outperform their polling numbers - and by a distance with a low turnout. But people on the ground tell me the federal side is fired up.
Carney mania is alive and well in Calgary. The lineup for the pro-unity rally that Prime Minister Mark Carney is headlining wraps around the building and is out the door β€” 1 hr and 45 minutes before the event starts.

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

Trump, falsely, on Canada’s milk tariffs: β€œThey’d charge you nothing for the first β€” two bottles. So they put it down, β€˜No tariff.’ After that they charge you 409%.” It’s not β€œtwo bottles.” Under the USMCA, the first *50,000+ metric tons per year* of US milk are tariff-free.

the crowd absolutely erupts when Carney says the Pacific Link pipeline will reduce Canada's dependence on the U.S. Mark Carney: "Careful. They might think that's election interference. They're a little touchy down there. We're not. We're getting on with it."

If Harper Poilievre Conservative govt hadn't sold Stelco to US in the first place, this mess wouldn't have happened. Poilievre always blaming Liberals for Conservative Govt blunders. The acquisition was never good for Canada. It was about buying and then strangling competition.

Mr Trump. Brutal. Offensive. Delusional. How can Congress not react. He should be removed from office for these disgraceful public comments. We are being viewed as a government of gangsters.
No Canada will not become the 51st state. And Greenland will not either. Why Americans clap for such absurd statements baffles me. Saying such things only make us our president disconnected from reality and therefore makes our country look foolish and weak.

Mark Carney: "A country where you're free to be who you want to be, to speak your mind, to worship as you choose, to live your life as you wish. That is true independence. That is real sovereignty."
