In late September, Donald Trump designated Antifa a domestic terror organization. Today, we’re tracking the meaning and history of antifascist protest — from 1930’s Europe, to today — and asking: how ...

Doug Ford says only “radical environmentalists” oppose Bill 5. But wanting science-based protections for endangered species isn’t radical. Ford's labelling misidentifies genuine concerns to skirt accountability. I voted no on Bill 5 and will continue to unless key amendments are made.

Ontario Liberal MPP Ted Hsu has filed over 4000 amendments to stop Bill 5 - one of the Ford government’s most dangerous & anti-democratic bills.

This is about your clean water, air, and community. We will keep fighting until this government kills Bill 5 & gets it right. #onpoli

If you’re a Canadian who would like to voice your consternation toward America, record yourself and share it on your socials (except for X – we don’t use that). Use #PUCKOFF so we can find it and if you’re angry enough we may put you on the show!

Climate + Trump Tariffs = Skyrocketing Costs 💸🔥

From food to hydro to insurance—it's all getting worse. Climate change and Trump’s tariffs are making life more expensive.

Sarnia City Council votes against an affordable housing proposal - the latest council in Ontario to do so.
One of the arguments against, which we hear in other cities, is that affordable housing will attract people from other cities needing affordable. sarnianewstoday.ca/sarnia/news/...
Affordable housing proposal fails
Some council members said they had received emails from residents who were concerned about the proposed development.

1/ In response to Trump's tariffs, Canadian govts should be using their most powerful tools (like export taxes on oil & gas) to cushion the blow for workers and communities and set Canada up to transition away from our dangerous dependence on fossil fuels

Agreed. You do not platform malicious notions on legitimate media when so much disinformation is already pushing said notions online. As Brexit and MAGA prove, it is a cancer. It will spread. The fascist right is following Goebbels' recipe to a tee, and very effectively. We must fight back.
Hanomansing and Richard Goddard must go.

Their utter ignorance of the Overton Window, how propaganda fabricates consent by repeating intolerable ideas; their both-sideism & engagement baiting in these dangerous times are unacceptable. www.cbsc.ca/make-a-compl...

Every Canadian upset w/ Cross Country Checkup for treating annexation rhetoric w/ sombre feigned objectivity should do this. Name both Editor-In-Chief Brodie Fenlon & Ian Hanomansing. Specifically mention how the debate normalizes rhetoric that promotes violation of sovereignty & international law.

Ontario Strategic Voting Guide:

1. Vote for a candidate who supports proportional representation.

2. If enough pro-PR candidates win, they can implement it.

3. Next election, enjoy no more strategic voting, wasted votes, or false majorities!

Here’s where the parties stand:

What makes riding a bike less safe is drivers. Let me say that again "RIDING A BIKE IS MADE UNSAFE BY DRIVERS" When talking affordability a bike share monthly pass is $20 a month with other options available like the Pedal Pass compared to $123.20 for adults (through presto).
They need councillors who boost the safety and affordability advantages of public transit like this 👇, even when they're not justifying an attempt to sabotage the implementation of #HamOnt 's cycling master plan.
