#BREAKING: Today, I am announcing the Ontario NDP's Fans First plan: ban ticket resale above face value. If a ticket says $100, fans should pay $100. Not a cent more.
If Ford votes this down, fans will know exactly who to blame.

If not speed cameras, then what? @jm-mcgrath.bsky.social and @spaikin.bsky.social discuss alternative strategies to slow drivers down, and how Doug Ford likely won't be sold on those either. On the #onpoli podcast: youtu.be/3pjjwa4YWrs?...

Doug Ford Is Trying to Control How Universities Operate | The Local
Ontario’s Bill 33 mandates merit-based admissions and gives the province unprecedented power over university and college operations. Is it part of a broader right-wing crackdown on campuses?

Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.

That news item that went around yesterday about Emily Blunt playing Kate Warne? It's from four years ago. Last solid news about the Kate Warne biopic was from 2023. It seems clear that the movie is trapped in development hell and won't ever appear. Which is a good thing.

This is unbelievable. The government is silencing debate and skipping public hearings to push through their plan to politicize Ontario’s courts.
First Bill 5. Now this. How far are they willing to go?

The party has a structural, long-term resource and organization problem as much as anything else. It needs to build and connect better with grassroots and social movements. It needs to terraform. Policy alone won't do it.
