Many grocery brands in Canada are owned by foreign companies but still manufacture their products here! When you're shopping, check the label to see how much is made in Canada!

Fact check: What Trump doesn’t mention about Canada’s dairy tariffs
What Trump doesn’t mention about Canada’s dairy tariffs
U.S. President Donald Trump correctly noted Friday, as he has before, that Canada has tariffs above 200% on dairy products imported from the U.S.. But Trump again failed to mention a critical fact.

“Trump’s team wants Trudeau out in favour of the populist Poilievre”

Exactly. They want someone who won’t fight for Canada and will capitulate easier to the American side. This is a huge compliment to the PM.

Not surprised to learn the Ford Government conducted a sneak attack to close the Science Centre, based on the “narrative” of a roof that needed maintenance done. Sign @saveosc.bsky.social’s letter & demand the OSC be reopened! globalnews.ca/news/1087827... #topoli #onpoli
Ford government spent more than a week planning ‘end-of-day’ science centre closure | Globalnews.ca
The science centre was closed just hours after an announcement on Friday, June 21. The rush, the government, was due to the urgent safety issues plaguing the building.

An #onpoli listener asks @spaikin.bsky.social and @jm-mcgrath.bsky.social: Are there any legal obstacles to a one-time NDP-Liberal-Green coalition, with a single mandate: to institute preferential voting then immediately call an election?

This is exactly what’s needed. We can’t afford to split the vote, federally or provincially. I am lucky to live in a riding that historically has been Liberal or NDP. Last Ontario election we got the WORST possible result, Ford’s nephew, because we split 60% of the vote and mini Ford won by a hair.
