Helpful list from the CBC on which ridings remain too close to call. Liberals would need to flip 4 of these without losing any other seats in order to get to a majority. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

"I'm not informed about the issues."
Talk to people you trust.
"Trump is joking."
He's absolutely not.
“The polls say...”
The polls don't matter.
"The parties are all the same."
They're absolutely not.
“It doesn’t matter who wins."
It matters very much to someone you care about.

The NYT just dropped a bombshell: a foreign spa company with one location and no cash landed a 95-year sweetheart deal—based on misleading claims and a secretive, preferential process.
This gov't was elected to protect Ontario. Do the right thing. Cancel the deal.

European Spa Company Therme Misrepresented Itself in an Effort to Expand Into Canada
A Times investigation shows Therme, a European firm, exaggerated its track record in securing a deal with Ontario, and government auditors found that the process had been unfair and opaque.

This comes after EPA Director Lee Zeldin eliminated the EPA headquarters in D.C. and 10 other regional offices.

Hey folks a lot of you are sharing big blocks of text on coloured backgrounds with all sorts of big claims/news and yet providing no link to any actual source.
This is how propaganda & disinformation spreads.
Provide sources. It's absolutely critical

My column: A Montreal company is building greenhouses on unused building rooftops. They now grow 200,000 vegetables per week. Their newest greenhouse is on a Walmart. If this was done just to Walmarts, Canada would cut its annual vegetable imports by 15%. www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/anal...
Opinion: Finding food-security opportunity in growing tariff chaos
Donald Trump’s tariff roller coaster has been a stark wake-up call for Canadians, exposing an urgent need to diversify trade and reestablish local production and supply chains.
