Maybe sometimes our common humanity and compassion need to overcome policy, protocol and procedure?

Why would Canada be eager to negotiate a new agreement with Trump? He’s untrustworthy and quite frankly driving his country’s economy into the toilet. #cdnpoli

Looking at the criticism of Mark Carney right now, it's amazing how many would capitulate to Trump at the drop of a hat.

The Future of the Ontario Liberal Party with Bonnie Crombie Podcast Episode · Progress Canada · 2025-07-25 · 1h 8m

Okay, mea culpa, I finally got around to listening to @theresalubowitz.bsky.social chat with @bonniecrombie.bsky.social on her #podcast.

It’s a great listen and insight into what went wrong for the Ontario Liberals last time around #onpoli #cdnpoli

As we inch closer and closer to the Ontario Liberal AGM and the question of Bonnie Crombie’s leadership there appears to be more and more a massive divide between grassroots Liberals and the upper Party power brokers. No matter what I don’t see this ending post September #onpoli

A review for a Little Caesar’s somewhere by Kevin S: Stopped into this Little Caesars just trying to get a $6 pizza and ended up in a full on action movie. Just as I grabbed my order, this furious dude barges in yelling about how I cut him off in traffic earlier. Before I can even respond, he throws a punch but then out of nowhere the guy behind the counter jumps over it like he's been waiting for this moment his whole life and just beats the living hell out of the guy. The guy ran off and the cashier just dusted himself off. I said "are you ok man" and he looked me dead in the eye and said "B*tch, this is Little Caesars. We always hot and ready." Five stars. Will absolutely return.

I AM SHRIEKING 💀🤣

Forget the statue at City Hall, this guy is the *real* Spirit of Detroit. 🫡

This isn't an attack or question of the quality of this book. But I do wonder why, like 90% books by female authors that are not historical fiction, look like this cartoon, animated, illustrated, childish book cover? Does this make sense for the book in question? Or is it just laziness? #booksky

Okay it’s clear that Bonnie Crombie’s efforts to reach out to candidate and MPPs has paid off, Nate Erskine-Smiths challenge could spark a grassroots civil war. This is strangely similar to what seems to be going on in the Democrats right now in the states. #onpoli #cdnpoli

Uh huh, but then where would we get our stuff?

Just a thought. Since Superman is reinvigorating people’s souls it seems, with Fantastic Four coming out later this month. Could 2025 be the year of the Superhero movie comeback?

The #CPC are trying to blame @Mark-Carney.bsky.social for Trump's scatterbrained #Tariffs and his unpredictability. At the same time, though, why are we negotiating with such a reckless leader? Why would we believe Trump to hold his word, even if we do get a deal we like? #cdnpoli

I’m going to call, James Gunns #Superman is going to be the cultural moment for our times. Think back to Tim Burtons Batman in 89.

Got to see Superman yesterday, it was fantastic! Everything you think a #superman movie ought to be. My son and I walked out with huge smiles on our faces. Definitely the hero we need in the times we live in!

Looking at #alligatoralcatraz and I realize that Marvel Studios is going to have a problem with their eventual X-men film. Magento is going to look very sympathetic and the Xavier is going to look like a collaborator.

The irony is you’re not the only nerd there who’s thinking how are they going to get it past the seal on the way out.

That’s the fear or upgrade your service, the rest of us can wait it out

You basically described how OHIP works. Minus the extra charges. How long until those extra charges are how a clinic pays for staff, rent and utilities?

This leads the door open to making clinics fund more and more of their costs through upgrades. #onpoli #cdnpoli

This isn’t about healthy decisions it’s a grab at privacy invasions. How long until he demands access to people’s health data?

Honestly so far so good. Our contractor is someone we’ve had highly recommended and has been a pretty good straight shooter so far.

Kind of started a thing this summer

#homerenovations #summervacation

Congratulations

We are a strong and proud people. Our country is not perfect, but I like to think we strive to make it so.

#canada isn’t about what was. It’s about remembering where we’ve been so we can make a better tomorrow.

We only get one Canada.

Happy #CanadaDay

Nathaniel Arfin Talks About the New Leaf Liberals In February Ontario saw a provincial election that returned the province essentially to the status quo. Doug Ford remained Premier, Marit Stiles remained Leader of the Opposition, and well Bonnie Crombie still didn’t have a seat in the legislature. The Ontario Liberals have returned to official party status with some new faces sit in the legislature. Ontario Liberal Executives are proclaiming this as a huge win for the party.

Trump says he's ending 'all discussions on trade with Canada' effective immediately | CBC News U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday he's terminating all trade discussions with Canada effective immediately.

If this is the path Trump is going down I say we become an open digital democracy. Forget their copyrights, jailbreak Apple products and bring in right to repair laws. #cdnpoli #onpoli

Parents and former students hold rally against return of police to some Ontario schools Organizers said bringing back the school resource program across the province would threaten the well-being and education of racialized students.

Sean Vanderklis Advocates for the Homeless What are we going to do with the unhoused of the 905? That is becoming the question on the minds of every municipality in the region. Last week, we had St. Catharine's Mayor Mat Siscoe to discuss Niagara's housing plan. In that episode, we mentioned the encampment bylaw that the city enacted. To say that this is a controversial bylaw is an understatement.
