Here's Doug Ford's surprising voicemail message to a public servant who expressed concerns about the Ontario government's return to the office policy:

β€œYou don’t like it, go get another job”

Can we have a debate among leaders where a panel of political gurus fact check in real time everything that is said and have it projected on screen? Have it flash red every time something like Alberta has the 5th largest GDP and make Canadians understand the truth at the moment? Not 2-3 days later.

That was hard to watch. I'm sure the far right people will defend them but the rest of us outside the USA, by far most of us are bewildered at what is going on in the USA

I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.'

Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Several Weather Service positions are vacant in that part of Texas, including meteorologist in charge, senior hydrologist, staff forecaster, science officer, and warning coordination meteorologist.

That’s right. There was no meteorologist in charge and no warning coordination meteorologist.

Antivaxxers lie and say measles is β€˜just a rash’

Please inform those you know about the dangers of measles and the need for vaccination.

Also tell them the earth is round, gravity exists and vaccines don’t cause autism.

Conservation that truly counts β€” especially in the face of climate change and biodiversity loss β€” isn’t just about numbers. It’s about respecting Indigenous leadership, protecting the right places, and building lasting solutions. 🌲 /1

Bribery is an impeachable offense.

Trump isn’t just breaking norms, he’s selling U.S. influence to the highest bidder.

It’s the narcissist’s playbook.

1. Do something bad/stupid

2. Blame someone else (β€œThey (or you) did this/made me do this!”)

3. Loudly claim (usually falsely) to have fixed the problem

4. Take credit for 3 (but never blame for 1) and say β€œLook what I did for you! You should be grateful!”

Ontario is killing its Endangered Species Act | The Narwhal The Doug Ford government’s Bill 5 could affect redside dace and other endangered species on the path of Highway 413

Missed this statement from Pen Canada last week:

”This decision sets a troubling precedent: that social media outrage can determine editorial direction. In cancelling the segment under pressure, CTV may have handed a victory to those who seek to weaponize online harassment to silence journalists”

I wonder how the Supreme Court feels about granting Donald Trump immunity for official acts now that one of those official acts is telling the Supreme Court to shove their ruling and fuck the fuck off.
