Hey, Ontario, this is OUR Ballroom. Get it yet?
The Ontario government is investing between $525 million and $675 million in the Therme spa at Ontario Place, with the total cost of the redevelopment project rising to over $2.2 billion. While the private company Therme is spending $700 million to construct its facilities and parkland, the government's public contribution is much higher and includes significant infrastructure costs like parking.

65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

Hear me out …

I think there’s a chance Trump might be losing his mind.

Whatever Trump is desperately covering up about Epstein, it’s clearly so bad that he thinks it could destroy him

I absolutely loathe MTG, but I hope she had the best laugh of her life after reading this.

Trump un-endorses Marjorie Taylor Greene
I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of “Congresswoman” Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia. Over the past few weeks, despite my creating Record Achievements for our Country including, a Total and Complete Victory on the Shutdown, Closed Borders, Low Taxes, No Men in Women’s Sports or Transgender for Everyone, ending DEI, stopping Biden’s Record Setting Inflation, Biggest Regulation Cuts in History, stopping EIGHT WARS, rebuilding our Military, being RESPECTED by every Country in the World (as opposed to being the laughingstock that we were just 12 months ago!), having Trillions of Dollars (Record Setting!) INVESTED in the U.S.A., and having created the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World from being a DEAD Country just 12 months ago (and so much more!), all I see “Wacky” Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN! It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn’t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn’t about to get!). She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day. I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support. She has gone Far Left, even doing The View, with their Low IQ Republican hating Anchors. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Important for the world to understand that underneath Doug Ford's Captain Canada schtick, is a cruel man who for the past 8 years has stuck his middle finger up to low-income and working class Ontarians.

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.

Doug Ford Is About to End Housing Security for Every Renter in Ontario
The Ford Government's Bill 60, Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act, 2025, is a recipe for deepening poverty and further exploding homelessness in Ontario.
