@fordnation.bsky.social’s back down on his purchase of Gravy Plane should empower all that oppose his destructive rule, especially towards Toronto. Protest works, he is hyper-sensitive to it. So let’s save waterfront from his jets, spas and other corrupt city-crushing plans. Keep up the pressure.
And @mark-carney.bsky.social got greedy. Good chance he’ll get his majority this week without having to bring in repugnant MPs. She was against banning forced conversion therapy fer gawdsake! Hideous. Politically dumb move for Carney too. This stink won’t wash off and was likely totally unnecessary.
@mark-carney.bsky.social had a choice to make and he chose to welcome Marilyn Gladu who is a bigot, homophobic, anti-Trans, anti- women’s right to chose MP who is too right wing for PP on some issues. Shameful opportunism. Liberal brand’s progressive claims smashed by this disgraceful act.
Star article. Mike is snooping around and seeing if we are “fool me again “ stupid.
The Ford’s are not a Toronto Royal Family, they are a scourge that seeks to destroy this city and who hate a downtown they barely understand. Absurd that nepo slug Mike Ford thinks his name buys him anything but scorn in this City. Sure, run l’il fella and split that right wing vote some more.
Bad Brad Bradford will do and say anything to chase votes including tossing free speech in the garbage to suck up to pro-Israel voters by trying to ban annual local Al-Quds rally in support of Palestine. As Gaza and occupied West Bank under assault like never before, not time for silence. Shameful.
Doug Ford sounds more like his one time hero down south every day and his expropriations sound a lot like Cheetos beloved executive orders. Ford sounds more like Trump every day right down to his attacking students as basket weaving bums who don’t pay their share. Just more likable for some reason.
@torontostar-rss.bsky.social managed to send actual reporter to @torontosceptres.bsky.social packed home game Sunday. Women’s Day after all. But the story was buried at bottom of an inside page and Star still cheaped out. Sent no photographer, used wire service pic. Women’s sports deserve better.
Nepo baby Doug Ford wants a generation of working class kids who manage to get into university to graduate carrying massive debt while his and his pals kids are launched debt free into a life of privilege.
After covering women’s sports somewhat diligently during the Olympics @torontostar-rss.bsky.social scores own goal by NOT sending a reporter to cover Toronto Sceptres first post-Olympic home game packed with Olympic stars. They used CP wire copy instead— for local game. No wonder readership is down.
If you’re just getting your news on Israeli-US attack on Iran from western news channels you need to add Al Jazeera to the mix to get important perspective. You can add it to your cable or watch live for free www.aljazeera.com/video/live
You disgraced yourself and have destroyed all the goodwill that you generated in Davos. Why are you defaulting to being a Trump stooge after saying you would fight back?
201 Iranians already dead including schoolchildren in Trump’s war to distract from Trump-Epstein Files. And Carney supports this cynical brutality.
Shameful support of imperialism
Shameful! You are disgracing Canada by supporting this aggression. All of your recent goodwill squandered. Turning into Tony Blair
@mark-carney.bsky.social’s “winning streak “ officially over as he falls in line with war mongers in supporting US and Israel’s unjustifiable attacks on Iran.
The stink of Danielle Smith’s immigrant blaming forcthe mess that is Alberta is shameful and has no place in Canadian politics. Alberta screwed up betting everything on oil and Tory governments routinely squandered the cash from oil’s glory days. Alberta’s challenges are home grown not imported.
Director @bazluhrmann has created a characteristically gorgeous, surprisingly intimate performance-based celebration of the King of Rock ‘n’ Rock in his latest film @epic.themovie that deserves to be seen on the biggest screen. Check out our 5-N review here: nextmag.ca/review-baz-l...
Post-secondary students are an asset to any country and creating financial barriers is short sighted as well as unfair. Shameful backsliding in Ontario with tuition hikes and grant cutbacks. Why do we continue to let Doug Ford deconstruct Ontario? Tuition free in smart countries.
Blown away by legendary songwriter Jimmy Webb @hughsroomlive.bsky.social Tuesday night. Mesmerizing master class in songwriting. He’s back there Thursday but sold out.
Matt Johnson’s and Jay McCarrol's hilarious new film, “Nirvanna the Band, the Show, the Movie” is the best comedy of the year and one of 2026’s best films. I can’t recommend it enough! I speak with the talented filmmakers for @nextmagcanada here: nextmag.ca/interview-ni...
What a crazy country.
Only two seats total sold for four screenings today in Toronto. Smart film goers in this town not taking the bait.
“Melania” is even worse than expected— and I expected it to be horrible. This appalling infomercial for fascist royalty feels like it could have been made by Marie Antoinette in last days of Louis XVI’s despotic regime. Our first zero N review @nextmagazine.bsky.social: nextmag.ca/review-melan...
Toronto’s @thepwhl.com team @torontosceptres.bsky.social play a rare game Scotiabank Arena, a major event and @torontostar-rss.bsky.social doesn’t even send a reporter, they use Canadian Press coverage instead. Pathetic! And then they wonder why readership in decline. Do the work!
Time for @maritstilesndp.bsky.social to seize the moment. Liberals leaderless, adrift and will be for a while and Ford fatigue is inevitable especially as his possibly criminal actions become clearer. Stop playing it safe. Present a real progressive choice and shoot from the hip. People are ready.
Yes but shameful number approve
Handsome Ned was King of Queen Street in the 1980s until his death from a heroin overdose, 39 years ago on January 10. “You Left Me Blue: The Handsome Ned Story” screens at the Paradise on the anniversary of his death. My feature on brilliant artist, gone too soon here: nextmag.ca/preview-musi...
Meeting with the @northby.bsky.social programming team as we begin booking bands for our 31st festival this June. I love this part of the job. Still find it thrilling to hear undiscovered gems among thousands of applications. So much talent. Can’t wait to share these acts with the world June 10-14.
The definition of genocide.
