thestar.comEdward Keenan: Serious crime is down in Toronto. So what are we really worried about?The recent period of relatively low violence in the city has been remarkable — yet it hasn’t been much remarked upon.

I thought (the rumoured) linking tariffs to VAT taxes was non sensical, but this is so much worse. Trump: Americans want to buy your bananas, but you need to buy our oranges. Other country: We don't need your oranges. Trump: OK, we'll make Americans pay more for your bananas then.

How can a NATION allow a foreign-owned newspaper monopoly to run single-party propaganda 24/7 from 50+ outlets? How does this make any kind of sense? #BreakUpPostmedia

Doug Ford: "Unequivocally, Ontario and Canada stand with Washington." Protect Ontario? He has been actively trying to sell a plan to the US for "partnerships" on critical minerals, the Arctic, defence, cyber-security, post-secondary, and infrastructure projects. #onpoli #onelxn #cdnpoli

You're in the business of communication so if there's a gap, your audience isn't to blame (as you imply). Problem is there's no way to turn annexation into a polite radio chat. There's no "just asking questions" on a threat of war. You're doing the authoritarian's work for him and we can see it.

There have been a few times when Checkup has been hammered on social media for a program we haven't done yet. I'm in a show meeting right now. The gap between what's being posted and what we're actually planning is enormous. Our regular listeners should expect the same care we use for every show.

Any chance that Musk threatening to shutdown Starlink in order to extort Ukraine is enough to finally get Ford to cancel the contract? If he actually had any interest in Protecting Ontario, it would already be done, but that's not really Dougie's thing despite the fancy commercials.

Every time I hear "Who's going to fight for you" I'm reminded how much time and taxpayer money that Doug Ford has spent fighting AGAINST Ontarians, whether fighting not to pay nurses, or to keep mandate letters secret so that the people can't see what his real priorities and more.

Hey Therme Canada, this note’s for you! You have resurfaced, trying to tell folks Therme isn’t receiving a cent from taxpayers. In fact you are getting $2.237 billion (and counting) in taxpayer subsidies/corporate welfare! Try the truth for once. #topoli #onpoli
