Dougie unwaveringly supports the monster whose stated goal is to destroy our economy and annex our country. This *should* be the end of it, in any rational world. Unfortunately, we no longer live in any kind of rational world.

We cannot allow a Trumper to govern Ontario! Look where it leads- total disregard for: the law, public healthcare, education, the environment, homelessness, seniors etc. And he wants to bring Musk aboard to mine our data and store it on his servers in the US. Vote him out!
Hey, Ontario! Don’t forget that Doug Ford is an unwavering supporter of Donald Trump. Do not vote Conservative on February 27.

To honor one of the most compassionate Americans we've ever known, consider an act of kindness today, for a loved one or even a stranger, however small.
Be the reason someone feels seen today. Sometimes all it takes is a kind word or a sincere gesture.
It will make Jimmy smile.
