"I'm not informed about the issues." Talk to people you trust. “The polls say...” Polls don't matter. "The candidates are all the same." No, they're not. “It doesn’t matter who wins." It matters very much to someone you care about. Polls are open until 8 pm. Please vote wisely, Toronto. #TOPoli

Multiple lawyers, including renowned Joel Bakan, confirm that the Bradford plan to commercialize water in Toronto very much opens the door to privatization: www.thestar.com/news/gta/cit.... Shrill denials from Bradford and his billionaire backers are a clear tell. #toronto #canlab

Because some Canadians don't know it's here. "Our research shows that surveillance pricing is already here. When news stories recently broke with allegations of Instacart and Delta using surveillance pricing, both firms quickly disavowed the technology-" www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Crucial election: Deforestation has dropped to its lowest level ever recorded in the Amazon this year, according to Brazil’s government. But that progress could be reversed if Flavio Bolsonaro, a climate denier, wins next week’s election. buff.ly/09QU3x2

Canadian friends, please sign. We can’t allow a two-tiered system to creep into Canada. Health care is a fundamental right!

I think it’s entirely fair that Canadians have lost all faith in our police. The scandals, corruption, and incompetence are so common that they’ve become normalized. The social contract has been eroded, and it’s 100% up to THEM to fix the situation; it’s not for us to “just trust them.”

True words. #ONpoli

Paul Calandra has put 8 Ontario school boards under supervision for financial mismanagement so having Stan Cho - who spent thousands of dollars on Toronto hotel rooms despite living in the city - as his parliamentary assistant makes perfect sense in Doug Ford’s Ontario. 🙃

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: MeidasTouch obtained NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN photos and videos revealing devastating damage to U.S. bases from Trump's Iran war. Troops and military families describe being abandoned by their own government. “It’s so much worse than people realize.”

Never let Lynn Fitch live this down - ever. This is a heinous, wrong and racist decision, and there is no justification for killing a baby over a false accusation of theft. Release the video. This cannot stand.

Apparently at around 1:30 PM ET, the main accounts for the No Kings coalition on Instagram were frozen and pulled down. Admins have lost access to the account and are unable to log in. This happened at the peak of the organization's national day of action. Instagram, of course, is owned by Meta.

Look, you can’t expect the police to police traffic crimes It’s a low priority that distracts from their primary job of using police systems to stalk their ex-girlfriends and victims of sexual violence

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Full update from our team. We STILL do not have admin access to the account.

I have had to use AI at work recently bc I volunteered for a pilot program in our department bc all the other people on the project were pro-AI and I was like “this team needs a skeptic.” It is week 7 of an 18 week trial and so far every person on the project has decided it isn't worth using.

"One Open AI note of August 2019 states bluntly: "We trained GPT-3 on pirated stuff! No sharing that!”"

Meta lies: “it is unfortunate that minor technical issues are being spun into a political narrative. Nothing could be further from the truth.” READ “CARELESS PEOPLE.” Meta is knee-deep in evil interference.

Doug Ford's government hid a report tracking rates of problem gambling, just as the province was launching its incredibly lucrative gambling platform. This government doesn't give a fuck about people's health. Speed cameras, bike lanes, gambling. It cares about donors, and money.

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

Climate Action Tracker has just published what it views as two extremely disappointing country analyses: the US (Critically insufficient), and Canada (Highly insufficient), as both governments roll back climate policies. Read our analyses here: climateactiontracker.org/press/releas...

Doug Ford’s war on bike lanes isn’t about traffic—it’s part of a global right-wing backlash to vilify urban residents and defend fossil fuel interests. @breachmedia.ca dove into the politics of cycling, and debunked some myths along the way www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoCz...

Katz always has important points about masculinity; however, he doesn’t acknowledge here the backlash so many men experienced when they attempted to post supportively about Cornell…

Ford’s “brilliant” comeback to U.S. trade action? Buy dirty electricity from an oil-burning New York plant instead of Ontario's cleaner options. Are we winning yet? Send your message to Ontario leaders here. #onpoli share.nwmd.social/s/iOBgRjAJ

Didn't know that all the climate scientists cheetoh fired launched a new website and put back all the information. www.climate.us

We released a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,600 Trump appointees, including former lobbyists, industry executives and at least a dozen officials who declined to identify former clients. Explore the database:

Timothy Ryback examines parallels between the conditions that enabled Hitler’s electoral victory and the 2026 American midterms.

We absolutely DO NOT want a mega-ride in Queen Victoria Park. Residents please have your say and stop Thug Ford’s shady deal:

Liberal MPP Tyler Watt addresses Doug Ford’s OSAP funding distribution, highlighting that 95% of new student grant money went to private career colleges rather than public universities and colleges. #onpoli

Poll modeling shows Doug Ford's PCs could win another majority government on just 34% of the vote. First-past-the-post bails out unpopular governments while the rest of us suffer. We need proportional representation so governments always represent a broad majority.

The Ontario government is aggressively promoting greater for-profit involvement in health care delivery. 😞 New report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. #OntarioHealthcare #HealthcarePrivatization #ONpoli #PublicHealthcare

Trump admin demands Canada not meddle in midterms so they can meddle in separatist referendums

Goddammit. The contempt these people have for everything wondrous and good and *human* is so grotesque.
