I want to go back in time when I didn’t know how many powerful men rape powerless children, how many people want to invade peaceful countries to rob them and when I didn’t realize the obscenely rich will do anything and hurt anyone to add a few zeros to their bottom line.

It’s easy to watch the news and feel overwhelmed or even helpless at everything going on. I need you to fight that feeling.

I’m an optimist. You have to be when you strap yourself to a rocket for a living. But there’s real reason to be hopeful this year and l’ll tell you why.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

"Including base salaries, the current cost of Ford’s cabinet now amounts to $5.7 million compared to $3.3 million when his party first rose to power in 2018. Adding parliamentary assistants to that total comes to $6.9 million 2018 and $10 million in 2024 - a cost increase of 45 per cent." (Global)

Did a quick search..... Reuters and a number of organizations have fact checked this story and it is NOT true - as much as we all want it to be. ☹️

Actually, he’s still very much like Trump, and is scandal-ridden and corrupt, but he badly wants to be Prime Minister of Canada and he thinks this is the way to get there.

'There is no B.C. coast. It's Canada's coast': Sask. premier supports Alta. pipeline proposal | CBC News Sask. Premier Scott Moe repeated his support for the proposed pipeline between Alberta and the northern B.C. coast earlier this week by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.

Wait. So Alberta’s federal income taxes don’t belong to Canada but BC’s coastline belongs to Alberta?

What in the When It Suits Us kind of Trumpian thought pretzel is this now?

I wonder if Kimmel knew he would be that emotional in the monologue. I'm glad. He could have been a bulletproof smartass, but instead he was a human who was genuinely touched by the support he received in the face of actual authoritarian bullshit, and he was appropriately mad about the bullshit.

Our PM's polite way of saying this......Racketeering is a type of organized crime in which the perpetrators set up a coercive, fraudulent, extortionary, or otherwise illegal coordinated scheme or operation (a "racket") to repeatedly or consistently collect a profit.

As a resident of Wasaga Beach I am just sick about this. The current WB mayor and the residents that voted for him have such a free market view of progress. Instead of advocating for better prov funding for the park, they are going to "pave paradise and put up a parking lot".

Canada = good government

Good governance is about creating a system where public institutions operate effectively, fairly, and accountably to serve the needs of the people and promote the well-being of society as a whole.
