What an energizing day! Thousands of people showed up for our National Housing Day Rally to say NO to #Bill60 and attacks on renters!

Even though Doug Ford is trying to take away our homes, the Ontario Legislature is OUR house — the people's house — and together, we WILL evict him from office!

Bravo to Rachel for speaking up on this. Our ‘legacy’ media is so complicit in the harmful policies enacted by these Con govts. No one asks the obvious questions, no one holds them to the fire. Kids are 💯 going to suffer and die under this new policy.
There need to be social consequences for enacting anti-evidence policies that kill kids.

One of Danielle Smith’s staffers just called me over (??) at an event wanting to say hi.

Once I realized who she was, immediately questioned her about trans rights.

I think about "decorum" a lot. Stiles was kicked out for unparliamentary language aka saying something true. Similarly, at Toronto City Council every councillor, left & right, voted to censure one councillor who spoke true: called a lie "a lie". No euphemism. 1/2
Stiles is excellent IMHO, esp getting kicked out of the legislature for speaking the truth yesterday. But the Liberals are just AWOL & useless. Crombie could go scorched earth on her way out but nothing. Just total duds. Explains how they picked 2 Ford-lite leaders in a row. Will they do a 3rd?
“What’s disturbing about the scandal though, is how blatant it is. Political appointees are handing out hundreds of millions of dollars from a public slush fund to organizations that are either close to the government or that hire the right political insiders.”

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I particularly want to stress that the violence we talk about trans people experiencing isn't just murder or domestic abuse or assault.

There is also legislative violence—far too much of it. And we lose lives to that every year too.
The Alberta government putting out a statement for Trans Day of Remembrance two days after using the Notwithstanding Clause to override trans kids rights feels like parody at this point

"Our government remains a dedicated partner of transgender Albertans.”

And the people supporting Conservative councillors in Toronto, especially those wanting to run for Mayor, will complain simultaneously about encampments & new shelters.

800,000 Ontarians out of work.
Youth unemployment near 20%.
Rents for a two-bedroom are averaging $2,000 a month in Niagara, while waitlists for affordable housing are decades long.
Food banks use is at record levels.
That's life in Doug Ford's Ontario.

That’s why he did it. Trump knows what happens when he targets someone, especially a woman.
A Democratic senator whom President Donald Trump said should be executed for sedition revealed that the attacks immediately triggered hundreds, if not thousands, of threats against her.

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott.

From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

Ford's reason for seizing control of Exhibition Place makes no sense.

He says it's to access water & power lines for the Therme spa.

But the water company doesn't take ownership of your property when it needs to access pipes on your land.

The overlap of extreme wealth and sex trafficking is very interesting. It’s almost as if it creates a sense of intense entitlement to anything AND anyone.

I think Doug Ford’s attack on renters boils down to this: if you’re constantly moving, fighting eviction, or unhoused, you’re far less likely to participate in provincial politics. Wealthy homeowners and private developers will vote for Doug. Everyone else won’t have the energy to vote him out.

Trigger warning to marginalized people. It is important to note that he has ALWAYS behaved this way. Just watch an ep of the Apprentice and see how he speaks to women. And yet America voted him not once but twice. Tells you a lot about the country that puts themselves up on a pedestal.

Ford announces Ontarians will help homeowners upgrading appliances. Meanwhile many renters pay their own hydro or even heat, with no control over appliances, windows, or other effects on energy consumption. Plus we're getting clobbered with higher & higher rents.

I reallllly need a journo in Alberta to ask Smith why it’s ok for CIS kids to use puberty blockers for precocious puberty but not trans kids? Or is she pulling that health care option too?

Meanwhile the President just yesterday said an assassinated journalist deserved it and celebrated his killer
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

Fantastic article! All Canadians should be horrified by this flagrant misuse of the notwithstanding clause. Based on ZERO evidence she is taking away Charter rights of young Canadians. Notice her law doesn’t ban puberty blockers for cis children experiencing precocious puberty. 🙄

A powerful statement but the truth is the American government never belonged to the people. It’s always belonged to the wealthy.
Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks:

“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”
