The Senate passed Trump's request to cut $1.1 billion in federal funding for public broadcasting.
Why is Trump so hell-bent on gutting funds for PBS and NPR?
It’s part of a larger plan — one where he can control not just what we do, but what we think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEH7sF6pA4s

Totally obsessed with this single from the upcoming album by @ronsexsmith.bsky.social
It’s delicious, funky, heart warming and just healing.

Moments after MPP Mamakwa was removed from the legislature:
Reporter: "Can you explain just what precisely the Premier said that you're saying is untruthful?"
Sol: "That he respects and honours the duty to consult. That's not the truth. The way [Bill 5] is written up speaks the opposite."

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?

More New Democrats in Ottawa means YOU are better off.
With 25 of us, we fought for the biggest expansion of health care in a generation. We brought you dental care and pharma care.
These are concrete things that improve people’s lives.
If you elect New Democrats, we will fight every day for you.

1.5 million Canadians are now using the NDP Dental Care Plan.
New Democrats fought for you and your loved ones to get the care you deserve.
We took on the Liberals, we didn't back down - and we got it done.
Because as Canadians, we look out for one another.

This isn’t about the border for Donald Trump.

Donald Trump has threatened to use economic force to make us the 51st state.

As Premier, I will end chronic homelessness and make encampments a thing of the past.
We will take a housing-first approach, put a roof over people’s heads, and connect them with the supports they need.

Doug Ford’s legacy is an Ontario that’s harder than ever to live in.
A province where people fall into poverty and can’t get out. Where they have to live in a tent because there’s nowhere else to go.
