In the last three homelessness has jumped 25% in Ontario. All on Doug Ford's watch.
Bill 60 will rip up protections for rent controls. This will cause a dangerous spike in evictions and homelessness.
This is seriously bad policy.

Sure, Reagan was right about tariffs. But if Ford’s copying his economics, Ontario workers better brace themselves.

There are alternatives to fossil fuels. We don’t hear about them, and they are not developed because the fossil fuel industry would go bankrupt. Follow the money.
They called it a hoax, but it was just business — billions spent to seed doubt, stall progress, and keep the pumps running. Decades lost, lies sold, air thick with profit. The truth was never inconvenient — just unprofitable. 🌍💸 Enough said. #ClimateCrisis #EnergyTransition #EnergyTransition #Solar

If we don’t begin finding new ways to connect & share information that those 10 conservative billionaires DON’T want us to know…
Then there will be NO revolutions to televise.
Social Media is so powerful: they plotted to buy it all away from us - & they’re winning!

After year’s of passing the buck, now it’s imperative to fund the military to protect our sovereignty, meanwhile Canadians can’t afford to buy a home and food insecurity is at an all time high. Got it. It’s about priorities.

Because the system has always been about channelling wealth upward. “Trickle-down” economics has always been a scam.
CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Free Palestine!
Even if the world pretends it isn't happening
Even if the politicians are silent
Even if the doctors are being killed
Even if there is no group for you to join
Even if you feel helpless
Even if people think you are crazy
You can still do something.
Kick at the darkness.
