$3 billion in annual federal transit funding is in trouble, thanks to Carney's Federal Budget cuts.
Slashing funding for public services like transit is not a way to build a "Strong Canada". Here's how you can take action right now before MPs vote on the budget β¬οΈ

Petition: Stop Fordβs plan to make evictions easier β Progress Toronto
Sign petition: Tell Premier Doug Ford, Minister Robert Flack, and your MPP to cancel any changes that make evictions easier, and to protect and expand rent-control.
Ford is making it easier to evict you.
His governmentβs Bill 60 will make it easier for landlords to evict rentersβin the middle of a housing crisis. More families, seniors & low-income tenants will lose their homes.

Row of crosses lit by candles in the Field of Crosses, Calgary

My Canadian-Chinese father fought for this country in World War II while being denied the right to vote, although he was born in Toronto. Wearing a poppy and walking the Field of Crosses every year is one way I honour him.

Ford government refuses to release completed work on Hwy. 401 tunnel idea | Globalnews.ca
Ontario is refusing to release already completed work on the viability of Premier Doug Ford's Highway 401 tunnel vision after signing a $9.1 million contract to study it again.
NEW: 4 years ago, the government studied whether or not a tunnel under Highway 401 was doable, finding a risk of collapse and eventually pausing the work.
Now, it is refusing to release the study - after paying a company $9.1M to do it again. #Onpoli globalnews.ca/news/1151718...

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesnβt pass the government doesnβt shut down?
Federal workers arenβt furloughed.
Funding for social services doesnβt dry up.
Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.
It puts the politicians jobs on the line.
They get the budget passed.

Foreign Food Safety Inspections Hit Historic Low After Trump Cuts
The dramatic shift in oversight comes at a time when the U.S. has never been more reliant on foreign food, which accounts for the vast majority of the nationβs seafood and more than half its fresh fru...
In recent years, FDA inspectors have uncovered disturbing lapses in facilities producing food bound for American supermarkets.
Now, under the second Trump administration, inspections are their lowest since 2011, excluding the pandemic.
