Nailed it.
Ontario has cut 5,000 classroom positions since 2018. Yes, cell phones are a distraction. The real problem is the underfunding of public schools. #onted #onpoli. How many positions has your school board lost? See the board-by-board breakdown below. monitormag.ca/articles/ontar…
After seven months I am baffled that so-called intellectuals can’t grasp the most basic truth that there are humans around the world live-streaming the most barbaric slaughter of fellow humans and wanting it to stop. That’s it. You can stop writing your op-eds and go home now.

Hey, we just cut the education budget again, classes are bigger than ever & teachers continue to leave in record numbers. But look at us pretending we're helping. #onpoli #OntEd
Let’s be clear: the number of people misusing food banks are negligible. We have no way of knowing what is going on in people’s lives. Food insecurity is a huge issue in Canada, & instead of judging whether people are deserving, we need to make wholesome food accessible to all.
413 would negatively impact 29 species at risk, cross over 85 rivers & streams, and destroy or partially destroy 75 wetlands. It would also cause more than 17 million tonnes of additional CO2 emissions by 2050, the year by which Canada is committed to reaching net-zero emissions.

Imagine if Ontario introduced tough new limits on dirty air in schools? On class sizes in schools? Please, media, stop being distracted by Fordnation’s ridiculous announcements and focus on what kids really need- stable staffing, supplies, mental health supports, safe schools.

This gives me actual grief. Thank gravy I still have the last episode on PVR but Sinceriously this news is ugly cry inducing. Tuesdays used to be my favourite. Thank you Pham family for all the feels.

Absolutely no reason we can’t build up to 8 storeys in neighborhoods like Forest Hill. Easily could have been an apartment. But this is allowed why an apartment is banned.

NEW from me: The Mexican Embassy contacted me late last night to say they are pulling out of a festival featuring Maxime Bernier, Randy Hillier, Tom Quiggin and True North’s Andrew Lawton. Multiple organizations listed as corporate sponsors say they never sponsored the event.

What We Risk by Normalizing Poilievre’s Politics | The Tyee thetyee.ca/Analysis/2024/…
Look guys!!! Such happy news! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
When you add the #ableg and #yyccc cash to the tax paid by ticket purchasers, that means: The public is funding 97% of the new arena. Flames ownership will cover 3% of costs for 100% of profits. This is the biggest wealth transfer from public to private hands in city history.
As effective and refreshing as the NDP debate was (thank you) we do not have time to wait for the next election. What do we do now??? Smith is going to crank hard on breaking everything as fast as she can because she knows she’s one and done. And she = Harper etc. #abpoli
I don't know about you... but I don't have a chauffer like Pierre Poilievre. I drive my own car. And when I pull over on the side of the road it isn't to hang out with folks with profanity laden flags. Most likely it'd be to buy a blueberry pie. 🫐 pressprogress.ca/pierre-poiliev…
Most of us, at one time or another, were renters. Many of us still are. It isn't like we magically go from being an irresponsible "drifter" to an upstanding citizen once we owe the bank hundreds of thousands of $. #yyccc

As Sudan's suffering grows unimaginably worse, most of the social-media reaction to this post in the US is from people trying to score political points about American campus protests. People, please: Sudan's human suffering is not a theatre for your local political cheap shots.
We’re happy to announce that we’ve received three nominations for this year’s @MagAwards! Here’s a closer look at the nominees:
It seems like some people are a little more affected by the shattered windows than thousands of shattered children. And that’s maybe not normal You can be mad about both, sure. I think glasswork is beautiful and important, but maybe the other thing is more concerning.
My book is printed and has arrived at the publisher's office! Though the publication date is May 21, there's a good chance that people who have pre-ordered it will be able to binge read Crosses in the Sky on the long weekend!
On this day in 1939, the National Film Board was created. Since then, it has produced over 13,000 productions and won over 5,000 awards. It has received 74 Oscar nominations, winning 12 in total. Click to learn more 👇 canadaehx.com/2023/02/21/the…

Pierre Poilievre has sat in the House of Commons as an MP for 20 years. It has been his *only* job. He knows well what the rules of the Chamber are, what sort of language is deemed unparliamentary etc. Speaker Fergus gave Pierre Poilievre multiple opportunities to walk back…
“I would gently suggest that one’s ability to dream isn’t entirely dependent on the rate at which their eventual profits are taxed.” @maxfawcett on the capital gains increase in @NatObserver nationalobserver.com/2024/05/01/opi…
“Do these community associations consult those who are young, those who are vulnerable, those who are renting in their neighbourhoods?” - panelist questions validity of CAs saying they haven’t been heard in this process. She argues they are not representative of the community
35,000 civilians killed in Gaza - over 14,000 children - and the world watches while this horror continues to unfold. This firsthand account by @UNICEF's global spokesperson is absolutely devastating. How about we stop focusing on student demonstrations & instead #CeasefireNOW.
In Rafah I saw new graveyards fill with children. It is unimaginable that worse could be yet to come | James Elder (UNICEF) theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
So, for those who don’t know: You can say anything you like is wacko in the House of Commons and that’s fine. But you can’t call another MP names. Them’s the rules. Poilievre and the entire CPC caucus know that. They’re playing their supporters for fools and for cash.
Forcing remote workers, some who live a 45 minute commute or more away, to an office (they dont even have enough space anymore) just because it makes the bosses "feel better" is awful nonsensical policy that serves absolutely no one.
