Remember when Trump won the election and Ford celebrated? Even though he says he's fighting for Ontario, he's been slowly taking away our democratic rights behind the scenes. If you're concerned, join this discussion on Monday night at UofT. Register here:

Stupid, soulless men born into wealth. Not an ounce of integrity between them, but each has an overabundance of cruelty and a bottomless supply of disdain for the people they're meant to serve in the positions of power they've swindled, stolen, and somehow maintained.

Doug Ford tells someone protesting his disastrous Bill 60 to find a job.

The gall of the laziest premier telling someone to get a job.

He’s a loathsome human and absolute shambles of a leader who has never had the best interests of anyone but himself in mind during his reign of destruction.

Ford's Minister gave Keel Digital Solutions (now under OPP investigation) $4.79 million tax dollars in spite of staff warning the company could "use the money to buy its own software" & "directly profit the company.”

Years ago, I worked with Mayor Hazel McCallion as her writer at the City of Mississauga. I also interviewed her many times when I was a reporter, and I'm thrilled to be showcasing my books at a place named in her honour.

This isn’t Moscow or Beijing. It’s Chicago. Masked federal agents grabbed U.S. citizens protesting ICE and threw them into an unmarked van.

“Who are you? Where are you taking them?” people shouted. “You are kidnapping them!”

What has America become?

Purdy's is a Vancouver-based chocolatier of top quality chocolates. Years ago, I wrote a story about their business for a local paper, and the President sent me a box of Purdy's chocolates, and I was hooked! Because of the buy-Canadian movement they are now expanding outside of their retail stores!

Ontario Place update: Ontario taxpayers will be paying $400 million for a parking garage promised to a shady company with ties to Ford's family business. And taxpayers will pay again to park in it. That's where the $60 million in revenue will come from. Your wallets.

A mating pair of coyotes were euthanized by
the City of Toronto because they were hunting dogs to feed a family. Their habitat was destroyed so the province could build a mega spa that nobody wants.
What happened to the pups in the den? Are they being left to starve?
