It would have been nice if someone asked Doug Ford to explain how he plans to order these charity audits given charities are overseen federally by Canada Revenue Agency
Ford says he will audit ‘left-wing radical groups’ opposed to government legislation | Globalnews.ca
Ford's warning came after members of the tenant advocacy group ACORN interrupted the legislature to protest a controversial omnibus bill that shortens some eviction timelines.

Here’s one thing Mark Carney could do that would improve the welfare of more Canadians than any pipeline or mine
Canada spends about $10 billion more on medicines each year than countries with universal pharmacare because our system doesn't provide access to medications through government-issued health cards.

Meanwhile, in that same press conference, Carney moved away from characterizing Canada’s foreign policy as feminist and called gender quality a meme “aspect” of our foreign policy.

Sucks that you can’t critique a pattern of behaviour from Carney, which has come up several times and been highlighted by Chantal Hébert and others, without a bunch of partisans ripping your head off!!!!!!!!!
Stinky.
Stinky.
Before I even clicked the video to see the context in which Carney responded “who cares” to a reporter asking when he last spoke with Trump, I knew it would a female reporter who asked the question.
Why? Because Carney is consistently more short with and rude to female reporters.

You’re cutting funding for Women and Gender Equality Canada by 51% over 3 years.

Every Canadian deserves to be free from violence. This is not just a moral imperative — it is key to building a safer and more equitable Canada for everyone.

That would be a very welcome message to Canadians whose primary "vote Carney because he's the best anti-Trump" instinct was in response to the "Never 51st" idea, largely due to our categorically different approach to caring for one another.

Carney's first federal budget delivered half a "Canada Strong" loaf to Canadians.
A pro-[private]investment budget.
We need that.
We also need a pro-[public]investment budget. One that invests publicly in more than just the trade-exposed sectors.
