I’m entering the race for Ontario Liberal Leader because I believe Ontario can still win! But not if we keep ignoring our big problems. (1/3) 👇

Really great news I would say: "Social media is populist and polarising. AI may be the opposite." – @jburnmurdoch in the FT

A full-scale US Waymo rollout would cost ~700 full-time jobs in the funeral care industry (by saving around 35 thousand young American lives per year). Will no one think of (some of) the morticians!

we demand assimilation because that is the only way to justify immigration. no culture would welcome millions of migrants determined — openly — to change their country. we will soon hear arguments in favor of total immigration moratoriums, and men like this will be responsible.

Long Term Mental Health/Rehab/Asylum Beds in Ontario’s health system. 1965 - ~220 Beds/100,000 1980 - ~80 2000 - ~60 2025 - ~35 At some point, we simply stopped showing compassion for people and put them into precarity. And it costs us enormously in policing, ERs, etc.

A UCLA researcher found U.S. building codes lack cost-benefit analysis and accumulate rules without removing them. The result: mid-rise buildings cost 55% more per square foot than single-family homes — a gap other wealthy countries don't see. cayimby.org/blog/shining-a-l…

We are so back

According to the Ford Government's own deficit numbers, without these wasteful choices, Ontario would have a surplus this year.

I was talking to my Lyft driver, who’s from Afghanistan. He told me how the Taliban has been trying to erase their culture and traditions. He said he’s genuinely happy to see Iranians still resisting the mullahs and holding onto things like Nowruz, because in Afghanistan, people don’t even have that anymore. They’re not allowed to celebrate Nowruz or practice their traditions like before, because the Taliban has replaced them with its own version of Islamic rules. So when Iranians say, “I am Persian, I am not Muslim,” it is not just about religion. It is about identity, culture, and survival. It’s about refusing to let a regime redefine who you are, erase your history, and replace it with something forced on you. For Iranians, holding onto Nowruz, language, and heritage has been a form of resistance since Muslims invaded Iran. It’s a way of saying: you can take power, you can take homes, you can take lives, but you don’t get to take who we are.

Anyone in Canada caught materially supporting a terrorist group has no place on our streets or in our communities. If they are a citizen they should be in jail, if they are not a citizen they should be deported. globalnews.ca/news/11742096/…

Canada has a large rule of law problem, which mostly stems from our apparent unwillingness to enforce rules and punish the people who break them.

Enormous fraud in the program. Clear abuses. Myself, @MikePMoffatt and @mikalskuterud were banging this drum for years--> Canada's international student program blasted by auditor for failing to address 'integrity concerns' thestar.com/news/canada/cana…

45 prior charges?! come on people, what are we doing here?

An Indian scammer who perpetrated wide-scale immigration fraud is now suing Canada and trying to avoid deportation on humanitarian grounds. It’s an infuriating read. Our system is broken. We need stricter rules and mass deportations. cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatche…

RT @NazaninAJ: Iranian Canadians join the Jewish and Muslim community in condemning Al Quds Day. See this presser from the @Imamofpeace and…

Al Quds Day has become an annual platform for antisemitic hate and extremist rhetoric. In today’s climate, this raises serious public safety concerns. I call on the City to take the necessary steps - up to and including an injunction - to cancel the demonstration.

The same scene👇is replaying itself all around the western world as arrogant leftists dismiss the trauma and lived experience of Iranian victims of the Islamic Republic. This is a moment of great moral clarity, as the left aligns with one of the world’s most brutal & oppressive regimes.

These stats are crazy: In NYC, 327 people account for 1/3 of all shoplifting arrests. Those 327 people have been arrested 6,000 TIMES. In Oakland, 400 people were responsible for the majority of homicides. Obviously we should take those 727 people and throw them in jail for the rest of their lives. That’s a simple way to begin addressing crime. It’s insane that it hasn’t happened yet.

What stands out to me: Factory-built, modular construction is now recognized as foundational to modernizing how we build homes. There’s a clear shift toward prioritizing large-scale sites—moving away from the historical pattern of building affordable housing in drips and drabs. New financial tools are being introduced to unlock these bigger projects, including a more flexible, risk-tolerant approach to development. Too many good ideas die on the vine today—this aims to change that. #BuildCanadaHomes

Just going to say this more explicitly. New immigrants to countries like Canada should want to be culturally western/liberal and live under secular governance (Most do!). We shouldn’t be welcoming people who wish to come for opportunities but not our values.
