Watch to the end for the 2nd clip, kids...

Then send to your friends who *like* Doug Ford.

Doug Ford warns Bonnie Crombie he will ‘send an army’ to stop her becoming Mississauga mayor The premier said he would work to help incumbent Carolyn Parrish.

Man his PCO handlers really took the cork out of him over the last months. Love to hear the insider story on all this. Is he totally imperial now and people inside trying to reign it all in or is total bellicosity the policy now?

Trump relieved sanctions on Iranian oil to fix his mistake, paying Iran 10X what MAGA complained Obama returned in exchange for nuclear concessions. Iran is getting more for closing the Strait of Hormuz and attacking its neighbours, than it got for giving up its nuclear program. Art of the Deal. 🙄

NEW: This new report, from BBC, is the best takedown of the insanity of Trump you will see anywhere.

Calm, coherent and repeating only Trump’s own words. Devastating.

Brilliant work once again from Roz Atkins.

I look forward to seeing this view again. Today, those cast iron gates are gone, replaced by a green construction tent and a muddy path.

Ontario to introduce bill exempting Premier, cabinet from FOI requests Government’s proposed changes follow its loss of court battle over call logs for Ford’s personal cellphone

I am begging my fellow Canadians to take a break for a second from obsessing about American corruption to focus on our home grown versions.

Ford is a corrupt crony goon who has done countless shady backroom deals. He wants to remove one of our most powerful tools to hold him accountable. Fuck that!

Toronto Star headline: Ontario is bracing for 'tougher times' finance minister warns.

BILLIONS of dollars for a convention centre on an artificial island.
A BILLION dollars to accommodate a private spa.
A BILLION dollars to move the Science Centre.
BILLIONS (over $100B) for an underground highway under the 401.

"We gotta tighten our belts folks" — Doug Ford #ONpoli

That is when we had a Premier who stayed out of Toronto's affrairs and respected local democracy. Ford is hell bent on reshaping the city that rejected him repeatedly.

The question is whether a threat to transit is a bad thing. This will mostly sort itself out in the way competition always does. Either robotaxis are a better experience and those commuters use them over transit, or they pile up in traffic and those commuters move back to higher order mass transit.

Well well. How the turntables have...

If and when the Democrats ever get back into power, they’re going to need to set up an entire new department to investigate and prosecute Trump and his minions’ free-for-all corruption. The DOJ won’t be enough. Luckily they’re all so incompetent that the evidence is out in the open.

Iranians in Toronto celebrate the death of the dictator in front of the US Consulate on University Avenue.

#Poilievre: "Under his leadership and 11 years of Liberal govt..."
#MarkCarney: "11 years? I just got here, Poilievre has been here his whole life."
Oh gawd, what a sick burn 🔥😂

Meanwhile, Trump is no longer a reliable backroom supporter. Whatever kompromat Putin has on Trump, is no longer effective. Trump is mentioned tens of thousands of times in the Epstein Files with no consequences. He has no elections to worry about and has lost interest in Ukraine. Putin is alone.

India has begun to distance itself, looking to Canada for energy. The EU market is gone. Russia's only friends are a series of small puppet govts that could fall at their next election, and China who Russia has become a lapdog for will gladly pick up the pieces of Russian regions that fall off.

Russia had built a network of influence across the world that propped up Putin and the Russian economy. Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, all taken away while Putin is in a protracted war he thought he'd win in 3 days going on its 5th year while the Russian economy is on the brink.

DEAN: “What’s the tariff on bananas?” #cdnpoli
NUTLICK: “10%.”
DEAN: “Walmart already raised banana prices by 8%.”
NUTLICK: “Well, if you build in America, there’s no tariff.”
DEAN: “You can’t build bananas in America.”

Emergence of Epstein island photo leads to new calls for Lutnick to testify | CNN Politics Members of Congress are raising questions after a photograph they say shows Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick alongside Jeffrey Epstein on Epstein’s private island was briefly removed from the Justice...

Every Canadian whose had to listen to this slimeball stab a good friend of the United States in the back for greed will laugh very politely when #Lutnick gets his karma. Sorry! 🇨🇦💪🏼

Everyone in the Trump administration is there because they’re horrible people.
👉🏻⌛️Tick tock #Nutlick!

Hilary Clinton paraphrased: "Why are you interviewing me on Epstein? Question Trump."

Yes! This. Trump clearly has a lot more to say about his friend Jeffrey Epstein given he's mentioned 1500 times (likely more redacted) and has been photographed with him repeatedly. Bring him in for questioning.

Why did you leave out St. Clair? It's virtually identical to Finch Line 6. Light rail running in a ROW that has to go through mixed traffic intersections and enters a subway station to provide a seamless interchange. Come to think of it, Spadina 510 should be on this too.

I've come to realize that there are crazies and gullible idiots on both ends of the political horse shoe. 🧲
The difference is that the centre left hasn't exploited them politically with a populist cult of personality feeding their conspiracies and taking advantage of their gullibility.

America is now living in this comic from 2016.

A 2016 Nazi Germany style comic showing Trump authoritarian banners, cops arresting Mexican workers, minorities in fear, laughed at by MAGA types. An Employment Office sign reads "NO Mexicans, muslims, Chinese, etc"

ICE violently arrest a terrified woman

This 2016 comic turned out to be so prescient. #DictatorTrump

From 2016

…and insulting conservative SCOTUS judges’ families is a great way to have them vote for Trump’s priorities in future rulings. He’s not a smart man.

Jared Golden (D) of Maine of all places doesn't realize the damage Trump's tariffs on imports from Canada have caused his own state?

I noticed this too. The volume is set too loud which is vibrating the surface the speakers are attached to.

His height and the way he’s walking are also dead giveaways for anyone who knows him. I say this case is cracked in 48 hours. Unless of course he has no friends and no family and no co-workers that would recognize him — which come to think of it is possible.

‪Wow, this is a major breakthrough. Someone bought that backpack, someone purchased that distinctive jacket. Someone got that holster. Maybe 100 or so people in the area? All items combined? One person. He also looks incompetent enough to have worn them in front of people who might recognize him.
