It VERY convenient that the “private jet” scandal completely overshadowed Ford’s attempt to bypass the Freedom of Information Act which would exempt himself and his cabinet from releasing phone records.
It’s almost like he bought a plane (to immediately resell it) to outrage the public on purpose 🤔
$300,000,000 per year to families with kids who were already going to private schools.

Local man decides governing by the seat of his pants will be faster in $29M jet.
At some point the endless string of corrupt behaviour has got to catch up to Doug Ford. How will this play with all the rubes who see him as 'one of them'?
This is really poor reporting on attendance data. Global and Calandra are playing with numbers. That 40% refers to data that show only 40% of students are attending more than 90% of their classes. It does not mean only 40% are attending school.

Prime Minister Carney poses for a photo with by-election candidates Tatiana Auguste, Doly Begum and Danielle Martin.
Today is Election Day in University—Rosedale, Scarborough Southwest, and Terrebonne.
Your voice matters — so don’t forget to get out and vote. Polls are open from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
This is important — London Mayor calls out “The Outrage Economy!”
@sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social is calling for “significantly stronger action against social media companies that spread disinformation after a study showed a surge in hostile accounts posting falsehoods about London’s crime rates…”
Abortion care is healthcare, goddamn it.
PP’s handler only allows softball questions.
Freedom of expression is explicitly protected under Section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
"freedom of the press and other media of communication" allows for reporting and news gathering without government censorship

Like PP this little boy giggles like a complete imbecile. This is what Conservatives look up to, support and believe in. Unbelievable that the CPC have any support at all. CPC is a corrupt embarrassment and extremists. No wonder Con MP's are crossing the floor out of conscience and concern.
I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️
Remember that time at Fraud Fest in Kitchener in September 2023 when Doug Ford promised to build 1,600-square-foot homes with paved driveways and finished basements for under $500,000?
I may not be a mathematician but these headlines are telling. 🏠
Some of us are old enough to remember the apoplexies he and his boss had when an anti-tariffs ad produced by the Ontario government ran on US television in advance of a couple of meaningless by-elections.
Trump's war with the Catholic Church has taken a new turn. The head of the US military chaplains has called the war in Iran unjust and is calling on service people to refuse immoral and unjust orders.
This is unprecedented.
My latest.

In my view, the reason Iran hasn't executed or funded terrorist attacks in the US is because they don't want to swing public opinion, opinion that is solidly against Trump's war. They can just regulate the flow of oil and wait him out. Unfortunately, we will be paying at the fuel pump for a while.
What brought my patient to tears wasn't her breathing.
It was having to return to an ER that's chronically
understaffed, underfunded & stretched to the max
...back to another dehumanizing wait.
How can I work without reliably funded backup?

Doly Begum is ready to build a stronger, more prosperous, and more independent Canadian economy.
Early voting opens today in Scarborough Southwest and Election Day is April 13 — don’t forget to get out and vote.
High speed rail in Canada is a good investment. It’s the kind of ambitious nation-building that actually makes Canada more resilient etc. No surprise, far-right Pierre Poilievre says he’d cancel it, saying it will go over budget. Spoiler—it will. Just like EVERY car highway does. But he likes those.
Raskin: "It doesn't give me a lot of comfort that Todd Blanche is now the acting AG. This is the guy who transferred Ghislaine Maxwell from the higher security prison to the low security prison camp in Texas."

I wonder how many people know that technically outer space begins at the Kármán line, which is only 100km straight up. If we could drive upward, we'd be there in less than an hour (the way that I drive). We could drive to the ISS in 3 hours. But the Moon would take five months! That's how far it is.

BREAKING: After ProPublica published letters written by children at the Dilley concentration camp, ICE officers raided the dormitories and confiscated the children's letters. I'm suing ICE to get them back. I'll explain it all in 45 minutes on @meidastouch.com here: www.youtube.com/live/H-D8SzR...
This is my arm 6 weeks after a 3M CHG-impregnated PICC line dressing
Still not healed
This is what “standard of care” looks like on sensitized skin
The infectious disease industry has a CHG problem
CHG is promoted as the best antiseptic
But it’s not
It's just the most promoted antiseptic
