The world’s first vaccine targeting the entire SARS coronavirus family has commenced human testing.

GBP511, developed by UW Medicine and tested by SK Bioscience, seeks to provide protection against COVID-19 and future coronaviruses, potentially preventing the onset of the next pandemic.

Jeeeeze, Doly Begum jumping ship is a big get for the federal Libs and a real oof for ONDP; Begum is the key reason that ONDP held that seat. Not sure they can keep it without her.

Also speaks to Carney's strength; he's now pulling floor crossers from right AND left.

...uh, we didn't do this at the Federal level?

And... we hope that if multiple parties work together, they could also use this opportunity to bring about electoral reform.

How can Cooperation work if the NDP won't Cooperate? Step 1. The Liberals and Greens work together and make an attractive, genuine, good faith off to the NDP. Arrows branch off. The first arrow points to NDP AGREES. Best Case Scenario. Everyone works together. This leads to an image of Doug Ford with a red X over him. The other arrow points to NDP DISAGREES. On to Plan B. Step 2: Publicize the offer of cooperation. The details leak. Step 3: The Liberals and Greens work together. The bad publicity depresses the NDP vote so the vote does not split in as many ridings This leads to the same picture of Doug Ford with a red X over him. Hey NDP! This also works if YOU offer to cooperate first. Can't wait until the next election? Neither can we. NotOneSeat.ca

We're willing to marshal our resources to support an OLP leader who will put people before politics.

We need someone willing to make a one-time deal with the NDP and Greens to defeat Doug Ford.

Think it's pointless because NDP won't make a deal? Guess again.

Sick of Doug Ford? Sick of strategically voting to get rid of Doug Ford and ending up with him anyway? So Are We but it’s a long, long time until the next election Here’s how you can help us now We’re starting by pushing the Ontario Liberal Party to adopt a policy resolution to support Electoral Reform We want to accelerate this process by connecting with as many Local Riding Associations as possible at the AGM later this month If you are a member, know a member, or are willing to join the OLP, you can help connect us. Get in touch with us: info@notoneseat.ca Image of Doug Ford with a red X over him. NotOneSeat.ca Can't wait until the next election? Neither can we.

Why the OLP? Both the NDP and Greens had something about electoral reform, but the OLP did not. With the current chaos, this is a good opportunity to bring about change What electoral system are you pushing for? We’re following Fair Vote Canada’s lead and pushing for a nonpartisan Citizen’s Assembly on reform: instead of politicians picking a system that favours themselves, let the citizens decide what would be best Aren’t you the strategic voting people? We are the “Ford sucks” people. We want him gone & we aren’t picky about how. But ultimately, Ford wins because our electoral system isn’t working Does this mean you want to get rid of Bonnie Crombie? If Bonnie’s aims align with ours, we like Bonnie. If there’s someone else who seems better able to get rid of Doug Ford—especially if they are pragmatic about how—we like them better. Help us spread the word by sharing this message, & sign our open letter so we can get in touch if we need help between now and the next election

The next scheduled election is years away, but there are things we can to do now to get Ford (and those like him) out later

Some much-needed education for Doug Ford and Paul Calandra image of Ford and Calandra Underfunded: verb, past tense: provided with insufficient funding e.g., Public education, including boards like the TDSB, have been underfunded by the Ford Government by billions of dollars over several years Financial mismanagement: noun phrase: improper, careless, or fraudulent handling of financial resources e.g., The Ford Government has engaged in financial mismanagement on the Greenbelt, Long Term Care, Public Health Care, Metrolinx, Therme Spa.... Stop the takeover of our elected school boards Paul Calandra, Minister of Education 416-325-2600 minister.edu@ontario.ca Doug Ford, Premier 416-325-1941 premier@ontario.ca NotOneSeat.ca

Clearly Doug Ford needs some further education.

McGuinty's Staffers went to jail for this. Ford's staffers should too. Tweet from Collin D'Mello of Global News: An important detail from the information and privacy Commissioner's Greenbelt report: some government records were "permanently deleted" Call and email your MPPs and demand the RCMP get involved. #LockThemUp NotOneSeat.ca

We know he's corrupt, but this is evidence of illegal activity among his staff.

Legal action must be taken. Start by making noise with your MPPs.

#onpoli #DougFordIsCORRUPT

All the means is that we have to get very loud about this and stay loud about it.

Granted, that's tricky when there's always a new scandal.

But the PCs turned "Gas Plants" into a stain on the Liberal party. The Opposition needs to use the same tactics.

It was the PCs making a lot of noise that got McGuinty's staff arrested. We need to get the Opposition MPPs to make even more noise.

Just like "Gas Plant Scandal" dogged Wynne's political career, "Greenbelt Scandal" needs to dog Ford's. Gotta stay loud to make it stick.

Yes, and McGuinty staffers went to jail for it over the gas plant scandal.

We should require no less from Ford's staff. They need to be arrested.

A reminder that Dalton McGuinty's staffers went to jail for similar actions over the Gas Plant Scandal.

Records were permanently deleted by Ford staff. This needs legal intervention.

Call and email your MPPs to demand the RCMP get involved.

I drive. Not a lot. Mostly to get out of the city.

But this mini-thread is bang on.

With this cut and the fact we're still not paying plate fees means that drivers are some of the biggest freeloaders going.

Likely true, but what else are we going to do between now and the next election?

He absolutely did

Absolutely. This was hard-fought and full credit goes to Bruce Fanjoy for knocking on doors and talking to thousands of people one-on-one

Most expensive Timmies run ever.

It cost him his seat.

The true winner of this election is @brucefanjoy.bsky.social

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

One thing that I was thought was revealing about the divisions within Canada:

When Carney acknowledged Poilievre's hard work on his campaign in his victory speed, the crowd of Liberals cheered.

When Poilievre mentioned Carney in his concession speech, there was loud booing.

Picture of Pierre Poilievre with an X over him. "So long, Skippy! When Canadians unite, we reject the far right." Pictures of all the other Federal leaders. "Here's hoping these people / their replacements work together for the betterment of Canadians." We're returning to our core mission (after we get some rest) Make these guys work together... (Images of the Ontario NDP, Green and Liberal leaders) ...to get rid of this guy (Image of Doug Ford.) Not One Seat NotOneSeat.ca

It's been fun making jokes at Poilievre's expense but all back to telling off the Opposition parties for delivering another Ford majority.

We do have plans. Stay tuned.

Media stoked ‘outrage’ about TDSB field trip to Grassy Narrows’ River Run, provincial reviewer found A report commissioned by the Ministry of Education said articles in the National Post and Toronto Sun spurred the mistaken idea that students were forced to participate in an anti-Israel protest

Well, here's a news story surprising absolutely no fucking one.

www.thetrillium.ca/news/educati...

Screenshot of a news article by Bryann Aguilar from CTV News. It quotes Singh saying, "Never trust a Liberal," and that Liberals only act when New Democrats force them. Carney is quoted saying electoral reform could be addressed once the economic crisis is over, and that a Prime Minister should remain neutral on the issue. Singh emphasizes his support for proportional representation where every vote is reflected directly in Parliament.

Carney didn’t shut the door on proportional representation—a shift that shows our advocacy is working.

But Singh is right: progress takes pressure.

The NDP says they support PR. It’s time they act like it—and make it a condition of support for a minority government.
