Russia's "leaders have weaponized starvation, child abduction, sexual violence and genocide. If these are not acts of terrorism, then the word has no meaning." Canada + allies must designate Russia a state sponsor of terror. @Kasparov63 + I @globeandmail https://t.co/wC73Bf2qwp

We knew it, but seeing the data laid out – it's still shocking: higher taxes for most, deep cuts to Medicaid & SNAP—all to fund tax breaks for the top 1%. It's difficult to fully grasp the scale of the con being perpetrated on Americans right now by the Trump administration.

Deeply depressing listening to TTC chair @CllrJamaalMyers on @CBCHereandNow. He doesn't appear to have a clear understanding of TTC operations let alone why it can't provide decent service after a snowstorm. No wonder the TTC is a mess.Time to take public transit seriously in TO.

Twelve weeks after giving 2 weeks notice, Phil Verster's LinkedIn profile still says he's Metrolinx CEO. Is he still on the payroll? Did he move to Riyadh, as a few good sources say? Why haven't party leaders made Metrolinx dysfunction an election issue? #onpoli

Finnish journalist @MikkoMarttinen2 has a much simpler explanation for Trump's recent speeches: "Trump, 78, is the most dim-witted president of modern US history, and old age has made him even dumber."

@TDotResident I love that the PC’s are calling out the opposition for not providing a costed platform. Costed and platform are 2 words that are NOT in a PC’s vocabulary. Pot meet kettle.

@therealmissjo @ClarkeMicah Having a car is anything but having freedom. It provides an illusion of freedom but is nothing short of being a millstone round one’s neck. Huge costs of maintenance, traffic jams, lack of parking spaces, a thoroughly depreciating asset. People who don't own a car are happier.

Toronto has a lot of rich people. This city helped create the conditions to make a lot of people very wealthy. It shouldn’t be too much to ask that they step up to give something back. #Opinion

Toronto’s ultra-rich seem more likely to complain about things like property taxes and bike lanes than they are to ever write a cheque for philanthropy.

The world should get together and reject this bullshit from Trump. He can't impose a 25% tariff on every nation in the world.

Lemme get this straight: Ford now needs an election to spend our billions after spending 2.2B on Ontario Place 'spa', overpaying nursing agencies, Starlink, and planning a stupid tunnel under 401 for 50-100B? 🙄 Ontario cannot afford Ford. #onpoli 🔗 https://t.co/9rWTu5j9Od

This snap election isn’t about Trump or tariffs—it’s about Doug Ford scrambling to outrun the RCMP investigation into his Greenbelt scandal. Ontario's economy is failing thanks to Ford. We are not prepared to weather this storm. And instead of owning up to his actions, Ford is

Speer's fundamental argument that societal attitudes don't change and that it's bad when they do couldn't be more wrong-headed. If anything, the pace of change has never been so great. But as Speer reminds us, albeit unintentionally, some find it hard to keep up.

Another Trudeau analysis ignores the unprecedented, well-funded, relentless years-long CPC attack campaign against Trudeau, aided by a willing right-wing media and paid pundits and bots. Why do these analyses ignore that? #Canada
