I hope voters will call Ford to say, "NO!" to this most recent, brazen move to avoid accountability. I did and got right thru.

Had lunch with a friend yesterday who’s furious about Doug Ford taking over Toronto.
“Why isn’t Olivia Chow *fighting* this???” he said while @shawnmicallef.bsky.social was pondering the same question 🔥

The Doug Ford-appointed Bob Gale lashes out on his way out the door, implying that this is some plot to block amalgamation.
The groups who asked for an explanation of his Hitler memorabilia are Niagara Justice 4 Black Lives and an anti-racism association, unlikely sleeper cells for local mayors.
Doug Ford appointee Bob Gale has resigned suddenly after it was discovered he purchased a copy of Mein Kampf signed by Hitler. Bob Gale is a former Conservative candidate and was appointed to lead the Niagara Region by Doug Ford, and was leading the charge on the amalgamation. #ontario #dougford

We are in an unnecessary war that the public doesn’t want, without a clear purpose or endgame.
How should the American people respond? Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-underlying-failure
Did you hear his conference yesterday when he said all TO Island residents are squatters? Why do Ontarians keep electing this guy? He's still refusing to settle a long existing land claim with Indigenous in in Grey Bruce and with the Indigenous for the 4 lane of 69. Doug has a bullying issue.
Think of all the other things an unregulated AI can do... but sure, use it to write a letter you are too lazy to compose yourself. #LabelAI #RegulateAI
Begging Olivia Chow to not set the tone by *meeting Doug Ford in his home* and to start lying down in front of some tractors. Elevated Gardiner rebuild, decimation of Ontario Place and the Science Centre and now Toronto’s waterfront as a major airport are on your watch, Olivia, they’re your legacy.
Bravo! #AIisTheft #LabelAI
Is Doug Ford planning to axe elected public school boards in Ontario?
Critics warn the move would end more than two centuries of local #education governance, with damaging impacts on #Indigenous and other marginalized communities.

Trump’s war of choice is reportedly costing us $1 billion per day.
No Democrat should vote to give the regime even more money to wage a war that nobody asked for.
Contact your Members of Congress and urge them to oppose any supplemental funding package.
Where is the oil he stole / is stealing from Venezuela????
My latest for @thestar.com. Increasing surveillance and extending police powers doesn’t solve homelessness or drug use on transit — it merely opens up the broader public to arbitrary punishment, including the potential for jail time and $10,000 fines. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
“Ford has been perpetually preoccupied by a waterfront plan that has never needed his ideas — and will be worse because of them.” www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... #topoli #onpoli
All Ford does is mess with functioning property and destroy the best parts of the city and province, instead of dealing with the very real problems of health care, education and housing, which are his responsibilities. He would never be able to weave a basket even if you paid him. Step off, Doug.
‘Study after study shows that students want to develop these critical thinking skills, are not lazy, and large numbers of them would be in favor of banning ChatGPT and similar tools in universities’, says @olivia.science

Um, yeah, so you do know that ChatGPT, etc. is AI? So every time you use it to summarize your meeting, make a shopping list or find the best vacation deal ...
And it’s killing our fresh water supplies. People don’t realize how much water it takes to cool these machines. They should not be draining our Great Lakes to do this. #AIIsKillingOurPlanet

What happened to all the oil they stole from Venezuela? Who is getting rich from that?
Is it really a war?
Play along with Andrew Heaton's new game show.
“Federal law supersedes state statute,” LaTricea Adams, founder and president of the nonprofit Young, Gifted and Green, said at the Feb. 17 public hearing. “The Clean Air Act is not optional, but somehow xAI is still actively breaking the law.”
Dear U.S. military, don't forget that Trump thinks that you are suckers and losers as you are sent into battle.
