One of the benefits of a liberal arts education. I read this for an environmental course in the early 80s and it rocked my world. I still quote/reference her to this day.

Yup...our blue incumbent retired and they basically voted for a blue child just out of uni - despite strong community business based competitors. They might as well have voted for a blue chicken.

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧡

I voted for Education.

I voted for Healthcare.

I voted for Housing.

I voted for Affordability.

I voted for the Environment.

I voted.

And you should, too.

All I needed was my driver’s license.

(I didn’t have my voter card.)

This is how we all need to be thinking. No matter our job, whatever we do. Do it to the best of our ability in a way that supports and lifts people up and does not let authoritarianism win.

Thank you! I think it speaks for the desperation of having someone speak truth - but it's also not recognizing that it's easy to be an arm chair quarterback when you are not in the leadership role.

Ontarians could be governed by Ford, Poilievre and Trump beside us by the end of the year.

That is fucking nightmare fuel and I would suggest not doing this if we care about our province and country, guys.

In the face of these tariffs, we need a team Ontario approach, not a power-grabbing snap election.

As we work to protect the businesses and jobs most at-risk from tariffs, we need to respond forcefully to defend Ontario, invest in local supply chains, and aggressively diversify trade partners.

As a rural resident I've been told year over year (for 20+ years) "nope our new updated range doesn't apply to you" I 100% support ripping up the contract & I 100% support finding a different way to solve the problem & I 100% don't want a crook like Ford trying to solve the problem

This. All of this. We need to start paying attention for longer than 10 seconds.

The electorate has a very short term memory and that's what FORD is relying on. He's hoping people will forget his corruption, his dismantling of healthcare, education, the greenbelt, and the Ontario place lands. He's hoping people will forget how deep he is in the pockets of developers.

I'm glad. But please don't let these tariff wars be the reason Ford gets voted back in - he is planning on this (hence the snap election) and I'm afraid he's figured out what short memories the electorate has.

Ontario to rip up $100M Starlink contract ahead of U.S. tariffs Ontario Premier Doug Ford is announcing that the province will rip up its $100 million contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump’s incoming 25 per cent tariffs.

"will" rip it up...it should already be done and if ANYONE votes for Ford because of his tough stance on tariffs, you have forgotten our Ford created crisis in healthcare, education, greenbelt, & hwy 413 not to mention his obvious corruption - don't be a rube! www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...

He is going to say "pinky swear you will protect our border. And buy more booze and stuff from us. "

They will say yes. Won't actually buy the stuff. And he will declare victory

Trumpenomics

God knows. I think only a stupid person would underestimate the strength and tenaciousness of the right wing support in Canada. I like to think this is a perfect storm of a new potential leader, a galvanizing "enemy" and a reorganization of the left, but I have learned not to trust shifting winds.

Can we make this a thing? Canadians just simply talking about ALL the great places we have to visit?

Can I start with Saskatchewan?

I'd throw in Grasslands National Park and St. Victor's Petroglyphs Provincial Park.

Both give you quintessential Saskatchewan vistas (& neighbouring communities)

Not that it needs it...I second this! Riding Mountain is beautiful and yes, full of wildlife.
