My thoughts are with those affected by today’s fire in Little Italy.

A life has been lost, a shop damaged, and 3 ppl have been displaced. My condolences are with them

It's heartening to see the rapid and kind community response.

Thank you to emergency responders who saved lives and nearby homes.

The Liberals want you to believe they’re the only option to counter Trump but that’s not true. Vote for the candidate who actually fights for you on every level.

I’m Serena Purdy, running for MP in Uni–Rose. Let’s shake up the status quo.

I don't think that's the humblebrag you think it is ...
The Conservative who helped recruit Mark Carney 🇨🇦
to run the Bank of England says he's the "person you would want at this time." #cdnpoli

They’re coming for women in politics with AI-generated lies and deepfake attacks.

This isn’t just harassment—it’s an attempt to push women out of leadership. We see it. We reject it. And we’ll PUNCH UP every single time. 💪🔥

Yes, and: Perfect credit scores and no missed payments? We're in a trade war after a pandemic lockdown. Economic shocks are the mark of our times even for established working class people.

If a party were serious they would build homes and address the financialization of housing.

#yesand #cdnpoli
If a political party was serious about housing, they'd do this: build houses/semis and condos, then rent to own for 1st time homeowners. Pay the rent for 3yrs, on time+no missed payments, then the equity is transferred to them and they get a mortgage. #elxn2025 #Canada #housing #cdnpoli

Stay informed!

We live in a world of increasingly sophisticated disinformation. Remember that disinfo may contain an element of truth, and then mislead you.

We're not safeguarding progressive policies with a Liberal vote. Chrétien opened the door for healthcare privatization in the 90s and we're paying the price.

"Defenders of public health care need to be very wary of Prime Minister elect Mark Carney."

"We can give ourselves more than the US can ever take."

If 'ourselves' was Canada and Canadians we would nationalize mining and prioritize indigenous leadership.

If 'ourselves' is super-rich private cos ... You give Ford and friends control & "The emphasis is on private construction."

With tanks as the backdrop, the Premiers and PMMC met for the first time, a sit down leading the PM to announce multiple new initiatives to help folks hurt by tariffs and construct "nation building projects" #cdnpoli
Here's the latest on Carney's last event before the election.

Great, now I'm going to have the Loony Toons theme song stuck in my head all day.

Oh ElMo, If at first someone else succeeds, buy their company and fail until it's broke

Attacks on academic freedom can and have happened in Canada, too.

Does anyone remember Bill C-51, introduced by Cons and insufficiently amended by Libs? Or Harper muzzling scientists?

This didn't just start now. Active disinformation and hate mongering from the US ramped up during the pandemic, targeting resource rich areas in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec, and Nova Scotia.

I have a burner account on “X” where I follow a lot of far right accounts. I want to direct your attention to some of #PierrePoilievre’s followers. Anyone who thinks this *isn’t* extremely alarming, isn’t paying attention. (Note the preponderance of paid &/or boosted 🇷🇺 disinfo influencers) #cdnpoli

This is how they cut Americans off from their friends and family in Canada. That's what abusers do to increase control and decrease access to help and support.

I'm so relieved she's home and safe. My heart goes out to the detainees that were left behind in inhumane conditions.

This is actually a brilliant idea. Canada can make its own bourbon, f-35s, agricultural equipment, etc.

Don't honour US IP agreements. They don't plan to honour theirs.

It's a non-tariff response to the trade war that actually helps domestic production and workers.

I’m stepping forward to announce my candidacy for Federal NDP in University-Rosedale. Inspired by the legacies of Jack Layton and Tommy Douglas, I’m ready to fight for a fairer, more just future.

In a world where others punch down, it’s time to punch up.

According to an Association of Municipalities of Ontario report, at least 1,400 encampments were reported across Ontario in 2023. We need equity-based solutions to end homelessness. A body of research already points the way. www.wellesleyinstitute.com/housing/home...
Homelessness is a policy failure, not a crime
The number of people living in encampments across the province has been growing in recent years. At least 1,400 encampments were reported across Ontario in 2023. The growth demonstrates how current so...

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
