“Canada’s international reputation under Justin Trudeau has been outstanding. We’re consistently named one of the world’s best countries, ranking among those with the most freedom and best quality of life. Our reputation would suffer greatly under Pierre Poilievre.”

Time to turn off the taps.
Not a single bottle of American wine, beer or bourbon should be sold anywhere in Canada.
From here on in I will only drink "freedom" wines from Canada, France or Spain.
As for the beer? It's shit anyways.
True. North. Strong. Free.

Hey Ontario,

Don't forget that Doug Ford moved Service Ontario locations INTO STAPLES, and besides wasting our time when we call Staples for customer service (because of the longer automated message with Service Ontario info), this cost "the taxpayers" more than he said it would.

Pass it on.

Hey Ontario,

Never forget that Doug Ford (WHOSE BROTHER WAS A DRUG ADDICT) was so desperate to let his cronies sell booze in convenience stores, he actually wasted over $225,000,000 of "the taxpayers'" money to break the province's contract with The Beer Store.

Pass it on.

Premier Doug Ford's push to get beer and wine into convenience stores ahead of schedule will cost Ontario taxpayers at least $225 million, but there's evidence the full price tag could add up to hundr...

Donald Trump revoked the civil rights act of 1965. They can now discriminate against race, gender, sexual orientation, religion. Here in Canada Pierre Poilievre is walking down the same path by disregarding transgender people. Human rights in Canada need to be protected.

I simply cannot believe that all Canadian politicians are not 💯 on #TeamCanada.

I’m talking about you, Poilievre and your team, and you, Premier Smith. This isn’t a joke. We face a massive threat to 🇨🇦 economy, to 🇨🇦 workers, to 🇨🇦 sovereignty. It’s shameful.

Good, depressing report from AMO on homelessness numbers across Ontario, counting 80,000+ homeless people in 2024. Rural homelessness growing a lot faster than urban. Municipalities shouldering much of the cost of housing programs. www.amo.on.ca/policy/healt...

Dear Donald
Canada has something called democracy.
It means the leader is accountable to Parliament and can be replaced
I bet Americans wish they had that now.
And convicted sexual abusers don't get to lead our nation.
We're decent folk
Ps. Button up. We're sending frigid cold your way.

Dear Donald,
Thanks for including us in your deranged Christmas message.
Being Canadian means free health care and limiting access to assault weapons.
In your 51st state our kids would get shot at in school and CEOs would be shot for denying health care.
So no.
Now piss off.

"This cannot be stated enough. Many provinces have been taking federal health care transfers & not spending all of it on health care (spending much of it on provincial tax cuts), then blaming the federal government for underfunding."

"Ford is prepared to override the courts by giving municipalities and police “enhanced legislative powers” to “dismantle” homeless encampments across Ontario." Evicting residents with no other options doesn't solve these challenges.
We need better policy, not more police.

That was his response Thursday to a dozen mayors who appealed to Ford to enact tougher laws to help them deal with encampments.
