Wait, what? But with a spooky pun

To Have and Have Not for Tax Purposes

“It’s that you’re robbing your constituents to subsidize your donors” is a brilliant line that Ontario’s opposition parties should steal and work in to every question they ask at the legislature and every time they’re anywhere near a camera or microphone.

Instead of privatizing water utilities so that their new owners can use the monopoly to extract greater rents, let’s make electricity and telecom utilities public again.

Holy shit.

Congratulations, Quartz! After a decade of #MinCup, this key rock-forming mineral of optical tricks is the #MinCup26 Champion! Due to intense manipulation attempts in the final hours, the exact winning margin is still being audited. Please join us tomorrow for celebration!

The federal government should work with the TRCA and Toronto to takeover the existing OSC as a National Science Museum.

Moneris, the Canadian system used to process 5 billion of transactions annually for 325,000 points of sale, is being sold by the owners (RBC and BMO) to a US private equity firm. I don't think this protects Canadian digital sovereignty. I signed a petition for Ottawa to intervene, and you can too.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Protecting Canada isn’t just about trade with the US. Reverse the austerity measures that are gutting Canada’s federal agencies and programs right when we need them most.

Fundamentally, Piketty argues that the cheapest way to stop people from building a guillotine on your lawn is to build hospitals and schools; this is cheaper than paying for guards and prisons to lock up would-be guillotine builders. 43/

The market's most lavish rewards do not go to its most productive participants, but rather, to those participants who have the good fortune to emerge from the luckiest of orifices. 17/

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

MARK CARNEY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! ottawacitizen.com/public-servi...

This Premier used midnight sittings to ram through legislation so he could shutter the Legislature for most of the year to avoid questioning by Opposition MPPs. Then he decided Ontarians should pay the hotel bills, because his government’s raison d’être is enriching his friends at public expense.

Pedestrians & cyclists without auto insurance who are injured by hit & run or uninsured drivers used to be protected by the Motor Vehcile Accident Claims Fund. Thanks to Doug Ford's cuts to insurance, key coverages for hit & run victims are gone. www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...

Some MPPs should be going to jail over this.

Billionaires are burning the forests Doug Ford turned the skies yellow Mark Carney is ensuring this continues Vote @ndp.ca if you hate this #cdnpoli #onpoli

"Private-public" partnership. The public will pay the full load. The oil giants get all the profit. We paid $34 billion for TMX pipeline. The companies balked at having to pay their share through the toll rates so the public has been subsidizing 50 cents on the barrel. #astheplanetburns

‘Protect Ontario’ ads cost one ministry nearly $10M last year: records

My wife said “I am so tired of this, it is so corrupt and wasteful and stupid.” Is there nothing that can be done to stop Doug Ford from wasting all our money on blatant political ads?

Mark Carney’s austerity and anti-regulatory actions are both harming Canadians now, and teeing up future elections for far-right populists.

Is the Canadian PM threatening to assassinate the US President?

In which Wab Kinew sees right through Smith’s BS and provides real time fact-checking:

This is what runs through my head every time someone says to get rid of rent control so the market can be more efficient, or is quiet about the need for federal & provincial governments to directly build housing while they’re loud about the (real) need to revisit development regulations.

Doug Ford: How do we make health care more inequitable and poorer people even sicker? OHIP: oh, oh, oh, I know! #OHIP #Ontario #HealthCare

M’aidez! M’aidez!

The government should be protecting our public airports, not selling them off for parts. History is littered with examples of the failures of privatization. It drives up costs for the public, quality suffers, and workers always end up paying the price.

I could have sworn we voted against a Conservative government, but somehow we’re stuck with Stephen Harper redux.

The Carney government (now a majority) cut $5 BILLION from public transit. From public transit! While expanding fossil fuels and militarism in a climate crisis! #cdnpoli

Write to your federal MP, especially if he or she is a Liberal. Write to steven.mackinnon@parl.gc.ca. Demand an environmental assessment and a case study for “whisper jets.”Most of all, stand up for the city of Toronto.

Drop something from the ‘80s.

This message paid for by the residents of Ontario

The Doug Ford gov't has passed its 2026 budget bill, which officially removes Ontario's right to know. How he governs, why decisions get made—we'll never know. The same bill consolidates conservation authorities. That's your democracy & your drinking water being impacted #onpoli

Why did Canadians say they want to join the EU? Because this is more in line with our values than Carney’s plans to build more pipelines, cut environmental protection laws and give tax breaks to oil & gas.

A lot of Canucks feel pride at a Canadian astronaut on a moon mission. The Carney government is milking this opportunity to associate itself with those good feelings while cutting nearly a third of all funding for Canada's space agency. www.canada.ca/en/treasury-...

Ford & Flack’s handpicked Chair for Niagara Region was forced to resign 3 weeks ago when it was revealed he’s a collector of nazi memorabilia. And now they want to appoint all regional chairs? No thank you.

Which party did Canadians vote for again?
