🔴 Hang on - wait a darn minute... *re-checks stats and notes* ... “strongest level since 2007”?? 🤔

Doesn’t that mean that after just a SINGLE year in office, Mark Carney has already achieved MORE on this front than their hero Stephen Harper’s entire time as Prime Minister?? 🙂 🤷🏻‍♂️

Poilievre: "Conservatives are the party of Sir John A. Macdonald.
The party that created Confederation.
The party of Canada."

Nope. The Conservative Party of Canada was created in 2003. Trying to claim to be the party of Confederation is stolen valour.

The fact that the lowest-tax province in Canada runs constant budget deficits but complains about the programs undertaken in other provinces, or by the feds, really ought to be a source of greater intra-provincial shaming.
If you want to critique, clean your own house.

But Fiction concentrates Truth.

A Toronto hospital has ranked in the top 10 world’s best - Toronto | Globalnews.ca UHN's Toronto Western Hospital and Princess Margaret Cancer Centre also made the annual ranking of the world's top 250 best hospitals.

🇨🇦 Healthcare facts:
Trump told us we'll get better healthcare if we join the US. So let's see:
- Canada has the #2 ranked hospital in the world (Toronto General) - Newsweek
- We live three years longer than Americans
- We spend roughly half as much on healthcare

Captain Mykola Serga…quoted Viktor Frankl and his Man's Search for Meaning, "The first to break are those who believe that everything will end soon, and then those who believe that this will never end. Those who resist are those who focus on the work they have to do, every day," he said

Trump snubbed as U.S. Women’s Hockey Team declines State of the Union invitation Olympic champions opt out of high-profile White House moment, citing scheduling conflicts

NEWS: The gold medal–winning U.S. Women’s Hockey Team has declined an invitation to attend Trump’s State of the Union.

This comes after Trump was heard telling the men’s team he’d begrudgingly invite the women’s champions or risk impeachment.

Right. The coverage shouldn’t be that the Roberts Court did the right thing today—but that it protected Trump, in clear violation of the law, for over a year.

SCOTUS could and should have stopped the tariffs a year ago.
Instead it allowed Trump lawlessness.

Doug Ford’s government said traffic officers could help replace banned speed cameras. Three months later, here’s what Toronto police say Most of the 150 speed camera locations in Toronto are not eligible for traffic-calming infrastructure.

Classic.
Big Dumb Doug Ford banned speed cameras, promising better solutions.
None have appeared.
Speedsters will get away with it just like they did pre-cameras.
More pedestrians will die.

How much are you trying to swindle out of #Ukraine this time #Witkoff? You and Trump are in bed with Russia to steal everything that's not nailed down from Ukraine, especially trying to give #Russia, the land they've taken by force! Their little green masked men snuck into Crimea & took it in 2014!

Because ford’s corrupt government hasn’t put the money into healthcare now they are looking for more money from the federal government something needs to be done about these premiers not putting the money they are given into public healthcare

How does an administrator (chief of staff) get to fire military personnel? He needs to go.
Oh, I forgot, he’s KN’s lover!
In ordinary time, his wife would tell him to get lost.
Or KN’s husband would.

This is a censorship state.

Is censorship a conservative value? Is that why Republicans are silent about this?

No, of course not. They are just happy to let Trump try to rig our politics because they benefit.

The Constitution is not a bargaining chip for a budget negotiation The Democrats demanded that Trump's immigration cops follow the law and the Constitution. The Republicans called those demands "nonstarters."

Radley Balko: The Democrats' demands to "reform" Trump's immigration thugs aren't reforms at all. They're already the law, the Constitution, and widely accepted police practices. And in a free society, they'd never be negotiable.

👇🎯 When one of our two parties collapses into far right authoritarianism, basic factual “direction-of-the-sunrise” statements like this sound partisan. They’re not. We need to insist on the existence of truth & objective reality, even when it’s uncomfortable to acknowledge.
