Here’s part of how @fordnation spent OUR tax dollars. Nothing in this list has made any person in Ontario’s life better in any way. This @OntarioPCParty does what it wants to the benefit of so few. instagram.com/p/DZfKd9Wlv1v/…

Ford also seized the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. That's the length of Front St. from Union Station to the CN Tower. Exhibition Place Ontario Place the Toronto Islands the island airport With Palantir building a mysterious something right in the middle.
New: Doug Ford’s government has been planning for a new multibillion-dollar convention centre, but won’t say how. #onpoli thetrillium.ca/insider-news/…

The pro-jets survey put out by the Liberal government makes it clear that Toronto Liberal MP’s are backing Ford. @canadaGray makes that clear in his point by point assessment. You should use this survey to push back and the MP’s should back their constituents not Ford.

Try to follow this absurdity. The RW Influencers whine about the creation of the previous government's tree planting project. Covid comes along, and the program isn't met, and then gets cancelled. The RW Influencers post about not reaching the goals of the program they didn't support. Now, they're whining that the program was cancelled and making ridiculous claims that it was cancelled because "trees won't save the planet" The cherry on top? Also being upset that the PM is planting a tree... It's absolutely amazing what these guys will post in order to continue to push their engagement and monetization. Let's make it simple, so Nixon, are you for the program or are you glad it's cancelled, because you're whining about both.
CANCELS 2 Billion Tree Program WHY? The trees won’t save the planet🔥 NOW: Mark Carney plants a tree and acts as if this will save the planet. The Photo Ops and Clown 🤡 Show continues

Pierre Poilievre, with his nanny, cook, driver, staff, and fully staffed and paid for Stornoway estate is tweeting about Carney feeding his staff, crew, security, entourage, and dignitaries on government business. This type of shit is why he is the MP for Battle River and not the PM of Canada.
Mark Carney gave Canadians the only recession among G20 countries. Then he spent enough on his plane’s in-flight catering to feed a family of 4 for 55 years. Canadians are going hungry while Liberal elites feast on the taxpayers' dime.

Ontario has fallen to last place on housing. While other provinces build, Doug Ford keeps getting in the way of Ontario's housing goals. It's time to get out of the way, it's time to get Ontario back in the business of building housing. globalnews.ca/news/11904820/…

Those with private cottages don’t need urban green space. The Toronto Islands are an irreplaceable waterfront experience for city residents who have nowhere else to go. @fordnation @Peter_Tabuns @juliedabrusin @MarkJCarney @NoJetsTO

Let’s not forget that under the Ford government’s new Freedom of Information rules, these documents would never see the light of day. Is the Premier trying to hide a pattern of backroom deals and preferential treatment at the people’s expense? thestar.com/news/investigati…

Ford wants jets over our waterfront. But the federal government can say no. We’re asking MP Danielle Martin to host a town hall for #UniversityRosedale residents to hear our concerns. 🚫✈️ Add your name to the petition & say NO to jets 👉 voteyoon.ca/billy-bishop #topoli #onpoli

And a super majority of Canadians believe that all AI images should be identified as such and that AI should not be used in political campaigns. .
Poilievre's Conservatives' latest ad featured 'Canadians' who weren't even real. It takes us to a dark place thestar.com/opinion/star-col… via @torontostar

So, once again... Let me ask you this.... Pierre Poilievre refuses to get the NSICOP clearance because it would "muzzle him" and he couldn't speak freely. Great, so, what has he spoken freely about that he couldn't have otherwise? What has he shared with or provided Canada that he would have been blocked from? It should be a very simple to produce, yet critically important list if that's why he hasn't gotten it... So, let's hear it. What has he revealed?

Pierre Poilievre didn't "announce" this at all. He doesn't have the ability to implement this. This is absolutely not "HUGE" It's just another feeble attempt by Poilievre to stand behind a podum and grandstand.
This is HUGE Pierre Poilievre just announced 0% taxes on used cars. You should only pay the taxes ONCE. This is the type of common sense approach that will completely DISMANTLE Mark Carney. The only thing the Liberals do is increase COSTS. LFG

My latest. This story is based on FOI documents released before the Ford government changed the law. Under the new rules, the province will now be able to keep records like this secret.
Star Investigation: As a Ford government staffer, he helped get through permits for a controversial gold mine. Now he works for the company as a lobbyist. #onpoli New from @EmmaMci: trib.al/WeC3iH3

#DougFordIsCorrupt tried to hide it behind tall fences but #FIFA aerial shots reveal extent of destruction of #OntarioPlace. No wonder he won't release cellphone records. Now we're on hook for $200M in tax $ to pay for a garage. #FordFailedOntario& what he couldn't fail,he sold.

🍁 🍁🍁🍁🍁 Monsanto wanted its growth hormone in every glass of Canadian milk. One government scientist stood in the way and his own bosses spent 14 years trying to destroy him for it. His name was Dr. Shiv Chopra. Born in India, 1934. Came to Canada in the 1960s. PhD in microbiology. Senior scientist at Health Canada's Bureau of Veterinary Drugs. 35 years reviewing drug applications. Approve the safe ones. Reject the unsafe ones. Protect the public. For 20 years he did it quietly. Then Monsanto came knocking. A new drug. Bovine growth hormone. Brand name Posilac. Inject it into dairy cows, get 10-15% more milk. Bigger profits for the industry. Far bigger profits for Monsanto. The FDA had rubber-stamped it in 1993. Monsanto expected Canada to follow. The file landed on Chopra's desk. He started reading the science. He started finding holes. The data was thin. Long-term safety studies were missing. The cow studies that did exist showed lameness, mastitis, reproductive failure, shortened lifespans. If it was doing that to the cow, what was it doing to the milk? His recommendation: reject it. Demand real safety data. His managers had a different idea. Approve it. The Americans approved it. Why are you holding it up? Just sign off. He refused. So the pressure started. Closed-door meetings. Attempts to pull the file and hand it to someone friendlier. Gag orders don't talk to the media, don't talk to anyone. Suspensions. Reprimands. Demotions. Dead-end reassignments. He kept refusing. Two other scientists refused with him. Dr. Margaret Haydon. Dr. Gérard Lambert. Same data. Same alarm. Same answer. In 1998 the Canadian Senate launched an investigation into what was happening inside Health Canada. Chopra and his colleagues did something almost nobody does. They walked into the Senate and testified under oath. Said managers were pressuring them to approve unsafe drugs. Said industry was running the regulator. Said the system was broken. It made headlines around the world. In 1999, Health Canada rejected Monsanto's application. rBGH would not be approved. Europe banned it next. Then most of the developed world. Sit with that. One immigrant scientist in Ottawa beat one of the largest chemical corporations on Earth — and won. Then his own government fired him for winning. July 14, 2004. After 35 years of service, Health Canada fired Chopra, Haydon, and Lambert on the same day. Official reason: insubordination. Real reason: he embarrassed them in front of the country. The same year, the Prime Minister mailed him a gold watch for "illustrious service." While they were firing him. He called it comedy. He sued to clear his name. The fight took 13 years. He lost appeal after appeal. The final ruling came down in 2017. Three months later, in January 2018, he died. 83 years old. Never reinstated. Never given his pension back. Never owed an apology by anyone. But here is what they could never take back. rBGH is still banned in Canada today. Every glass of Canadian milk is still hormone-free — because one man refused to sign. And the United States? Never banned it. It's still legal there. Right now. He kept it out of Canada and they fired him. The system he fought is still pouring it into glasses across the border. So tell me below was Shiv Chopra a hero, or just a troublemaker who got what was coming to him? Pick a side. Because someone in those meetings is still telling scientists to "just sign off."
