Trying out a new colour-based social site. Same name, different channel.

NEW: An exhaustive review of roughly 200 flights in Doug Ford’s calendars reveal he essentially stopped flying commercial in late 2025, switching almost entirely to private flights. Opposition blasted him during question period, but Ford insists he’s better than former premiers

Meta will layoff 8000 of its workforce starting tomorrow morning. Their net income over the last 12 months was $70,587,000,000. They could give every single one of their 79,000 workers a $440,000 bonus and still sock away over $35,827,000,000 in pure profit.

Premier Ford skipped question period today, one day after government documents revealed Ontario taxpayers covered nearly $200K in expenses tied to the purchase & resale of his $28.9M private jet. The opposition is now demanding he repay the money. #onpoli

NEW: The Ford government tried to quietly close the public feedback period on its new education bill, changing the deadline to submit comments from May 13 to May 4 without notice. They reversed course after we asked why they were limiting public input: thetrillium.ca/insider-news/…

NEW: Government-supervised school board mistakenly distributes email identifying teachers at risk of layoffs, raising serious privacy concerns & prompting Ontario's privacy watchdog to look into the incident. My first official byline with @Thetrilliumca: thetrillium.ca/insider-news/…

From the DM’s… Look like Evan used social media to make his point nonetheless! The kids are alright. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

If you’re Canadian, you have to see this. This isn’t just politics — this is real-life stuff. Senator Kim Pate just introduced Bill S-206 — a new push for Basic Income in Canada. This matters if you’ve ever felt stuck, burnt out, or like the system doesn’t see people like you. We already have universal healthcare. Now imagine a future where we also have income stability. Watch what happens next — and don’t let this one slide by. #UBI #Canada #S206 #WorkingClassVoices #FutureOfWork #CDNPoli

Read Bill C-2, and email your MP with your concerns.

Let’s use some common sense out there today folks. #NLwx

I’m seeing a long, conservative rant being shared around and it’s got a lot of misinformation in it. Let’s break it down using open data and statistics.

.@PierrePoilievre won't speak to certain journalists, blocks all journalists from his campaign bus and plane, and insists on granting questions to only a friendly few. Plus, he tightly controls the questions that journalists can ask. @PierrePoilievre says he would grant more access to YouTubers like Candice Malcolm, who famously tried to tie a recent plane crash to DEI efforts, and he spent the most time on a Jordan Peterson podcast sponsored by a pro-life group. Seriously, this is getting ridiculous. If you don't believe me, read this G&M article: "The Liberal campaign provided The Globe with a tally noting that, according to their count, Mr. Carney had been asked 140 questions from media since the election was called, to Mr. Poilievre’s 48. Those figures match a rough count The Globe had compiled independently." "The reporters covering Mr. Carney, meanwhile, huddle before each press conference to determine who among them gets to ask questions, and in what order, with no involvement from the campaign. They are permitted one question, with a follow-up. The campaign does not screen questions in advance." "Mr. Poilievre’s campaign has asked some reporters in advance about the subject of their questions....Reporters are permitted to ask only one question of Mr. Poilievre, with no follow-up." He won't get his security clearance. He won't speak to the people trying to inform the public about his policies. He won't let reporters near him on the campaign plane, campaign bus, or at campaign events. What is he doing/hiding/thinking? theglobeandmail.com/politics…

On this day in 1935, Newfoundland and Labrador changed its time to 3 1/2 hours W of Greenwich. This established a unique 30 minute time zone in Canada. This is the story of Newfoundland's unique time zone (and the double daylight saving time experiment) 🧵1/7

I've worked at a poll during a federal election, and I can tell you that our voting system is 100% paper-based. Ballots, tabulation sheets, lists of registered voters, everything. Closest a computer gets is that the voter lists are printed.

I’m not a journalist. I’m an Alberta dad, husband, and trades worker. Over the past few days, I’ve been reading everything I can about the CSIS findings regarding Pierre Poilievre’s compromised position and lack of security clearance. Here’s what I’ve found. #cdnpoli
