This is urgent and I need your help.
Doug Ford is rushing Bill 33 and Bill 60 through — they're just one vote away from becoming law.
Bill 33 silences parents and cuts student services. Bill 60 makes it easier for landlords to evict tenants and raise rents, and opens the door to privatizing water.

As we await the federal budget, a reminder that social programs, access to basic needs like housing, food, etc. are not "Good to have" - they are essential.
"We'll get to addressing violence, poverty, homophobia, racism, etc. once we deal with the tariffs" is bad economic policy AND absolute BS.

Doug Ford’s office has already received over ten thousand emails in the last 24 hours, saying no Bill 60, which would enable landlords to renegotiate leases every year, and refuse to renew without cause.

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year?
How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada.
"Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

Watching my mother attempt to book appointments or pay bills or seek out any kind of professional service is heartbreaking. The expectation is to go online, and the internet is a literal wasteland of misinformation and fraud. A society is judged by how it treats its elders. We're failing them.
Access to the internet shouldn't be a mandatory requirement of belonging to a society. People should be able to use physical currency, and receive physical mail, and connect with actual human beings when they have problems.

The premier’s comments on Tuesday should be a moment for Ontarians to think whether the province is a place of law and order or where vigilantes can influence government policy.

In Defense of Despair
The feeling is most commonly framed as an end point, a level of despondency that cannot be overcome. But it doesn’t have to be so.
