Toronto, you've got until 8pm to get your vote in! Toronto public library runs an excellent site that has responses from candidates if you don't have enough info about them: knowyourvote.to (Also not responding to *The Library* should be an immediate disqualifier imo) #TOPoli
"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

Gut the electoral power of the rich! "... Be a Serbia...a Brazil... a Hungary. Get your ass to the polls, drag everybody you know with you, and.. find out what... Trump sounds like... blaming the American deep state for losing to the American people." deanblundell.substack.com/p/breaking-p...

Smith has been weakened tremendously... "proceeding with utmost caution"... as if her job depends on it... too late Danni... your done.
🇨🇦 CBC reports Alberta narrowly approved 5 immigration-related referendum questions while rejecting all 4 constitutional proposals. Some measures could restrict temporary residents' access to services. Are newcomers being blamed for infrastructure and funding problems?
Given orange taco in DC, the job of American ambassador to Canada should be the worst possible, most uncomfortable assignment handed out. This American "...straw-man" so richly earned being treated like toxic scum, makes it so easy for us nice Canadians to send them all the "f**k off" message.
I guess if they pay you billions they can't possibly be an enemy... "A sanctioned Russian company run by a Putin loyalist wants ownership of American gas production, and it said so out loud, on the record, to the New York Times." deanblundell.substack.com/p/bombshell-...

Jared Kushner’s hacked iPhone revealed he promised MBS and MBZ he would push their agenda with Trump if they participated in a secret fund, with the two royals initially discussing over $10B before ultimately placing at least $2B into his accounts. Paywalled, use archive. archive.ph/FHGAt
We've learned that on the provincial stage Alberta can produce the opposite of oil... squeaky wheels. It would be grand if they could produce something more constructive.
There’s only so much you can do for a province that bases its identity and economy on a volitile and declining resource governed by international forces. #cdnpoli #ableg
It's not about spending too much... it's about controlling who gets to spend it and who's buddies profit... Ford leads the Con man party.
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. 🙃
Is this the end for Kushner? Since Donald doesn't love anyone but himself, will Jared find himself in the wilderness? If so who will he be taking down with him? No doubt the list of names is long... will Jared be silenced sonehow before he spills? deanblundell.substack.com/p/breaking-t...
Greater dependence on AI etc brings with it large vulnerability. Happy to see the Russian war machinery set back lime this but the lesson here is the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Self sufficiency is a worthy goal unless you want to be someone's slave.

Trust; quickly lost, ages to rebuild. Much doubt that America will ever be restored. Canadians are unhappily in the fallout zone of America's self detonation. Standing on guard must be the new normal. That said the exploitation virus is in Canada too. www.readthemaple.com/u-s-claims-t...

Not a good headline but, "if you want Canada back, if you want Europe back, if you want anyone to sign a treaty with you again and believe it’ll survive your next election, you’re going to have to do what Germany did. Not an apology tour. Accountability." deanblundell.substack.com/p/carney-bro...

awaii enacted a law that could neuter Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fP...
Before Citizens United, the top 15 political contributors spent just $15 million on the midterm election. Now, the top 15 have spent $962 MILLION. That's up 6,400%. THIS is why our system is so rigged. We really, really have to end Citizens United and tax the rich.

Past due for Americans to recognize their President has them in another war, taken up arms(on paper at least),sided w/USA's traditional enemy(Russia)&is waging war on Ukraine for his own benefit. When is a traitor not a traitor? When he's the President? deanblundell.substack.com/p/trumps-bil...
