Americans are overwhelmingly rejecting President Donald Trump’s insistence that prices are dropping and inflation is barely a factor—a disconnect that drags down his standing on the economy, a new poll finds.
Scathing Poll Shows How Little Americans Are Buying Trump’s Claims About Prices
Most Americans say Trump describes inflation as better than it really is, including four in 10 Republicans.

Ford walked out of meeting with Education Minister Lecce and Labour Ministers while working on an alleged dictatorship with a #Notwithstandingclause that would've fined each striking worker $4,000 a day and dismantled collective bargaining across Canada. #cdnpoli

Ontario’s electoral map is outdated, but the problem goes deeper. First past the post turns riding boundaries into political weapons.
Proportional representation would make every vote count equally and give Ontario fair results that reflect how people actually voted.

Doug Ford’s increase to donation limits advantages his party, but making the per-vote subsidy permanent is the right thing to do
The Doug Ford's decision to raise the amount individuals can donate to a political party to $5000 gives wealthy Ontarians a bigger influence over politics.

When power is handed to a minority, accountability disappears.
