Much of my academic life was centred on the study of cult development (and the propaganda that accompanied the growth of NRMs). This is most definitely a cult gathering.

The Trump family is a great example of how you can have all the money in the world and still be white trash.

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

“How can a small, poisoned First Nation like Grassy Narrows protect ourselves when one of the minister’s top guys on the file goes to work for the huge gold company that wants to put mining waste into our river?” #DougFordIsCorrupt #onpoli #GrassyNarrows #WaterIsLife

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

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries currentaffairs.org/news/how-…

Doug Ford is hiding a FOURTH police investigation, this time involving the Ministry for Seniors and Accessibility. It was triggered by one of 19 forensic audits this government has been forced to undertake. @stephaniesmyth is telling @fordnation to release the audit. #onpoli

It’s sad seeing the aerial shots of BMO Field and a destroyed green space (Ontario Place) in the background. I wish nothing but the worst for Ford.

We wrote about the "spa" over three years ago - in April 2023. We know a lot more now than we did back then. Now, for example, we know the chair of Therme is also prez of Palantir Canada. 😵‍💫 But even back then, the parking plans gave it away - it's not a bloody spa.
NEW: Ontario announces it has awarded a $198 million contract to design and build new parking structure at Ontario Place, to Canadian company Pomerleau Inc. after procurement process. Says it will include 3,500 parking spots, 680 EV charging stations and bicycle parking. #onpoli

So many of Ontario's problems go back to Mike Harris. In the years to come we'll be able to tweet about the same for @fordnation - a legacy of incompetence and malfeasance.
Hi Univrsle, Actually the change that is responsible for today’s record evictions occurred in 1997 when Premier Harris abolished rent control between tenancies. So as rents soared in the past decade due to house prices increasing landlords now evict tenants and double the rent.

They literally met in the Situation Room to come up with a defense for the President of the United States raping children.

Hey there to all you in the 21% who still think he's not a corrupt and incompetent stooge, how do you feel about this?
The Garage Mahal at Ontario Place will cost $198M. thestar.com/politics/provinc…

Trump cant allow anyone in the Epstein files to be charged because his name would come up in their trial. The ENTIRE Republican party is protecting Trump & the Epstein Elite.

$200 million on a parking garage on Toronto’s waterfront will not age well. Just like funnelling cars into the core has not aged well. By the early 2030s, Exhibition Place will have one of the best transit connections in the country, with subway service to downtown, the east end, links into the entire GO rail network, and the waterfront streetcar network. It’s designed to be a major hub. Scotiabank Arena is a regional destination on GO Transit, and revellers arrive by walking, cycling and taking transit. They get to the Rogers Centre the same way. The only reason this works is because our streets on game days are a sea of people, rather than a sea of cars. That’s not an accident. It’s the result of good urban planning. So why are we spending a small fortune to create a traffic mess at Exhibition Place, when the overwhelming majority of people will still arrive by transit? When we invest in transit, people take transit. When we invest in parking, we get more traffic.

New York Times investigative journalists Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman are this generation's Woodward and Bernstein. This story is Trump's Watergate and it's about to EXPLODE: Vice President JD Vance, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, former Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, White House Counsel David Warrington, FBI Director Kash Patel, Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, and former Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich converted the hallowed Situation Room — America's nerve center for real threats and decisive action — into a pedophile protection racket, where top officials huddled to cover-up the Epstein files scandal and protect a president who used to rape children for fun.

21% is still way too high.
NEW: Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s approval rating falls to its lowest level since he first took office in 2018. The latest Angus Reid data shows a 10 point drop down to 21% approval. Ford also finds himself at the bottom of the list among fellow Premiers. #onpoli

We're meant to believe that expanding Billy Bishop has been needed for decades and is completely obvious, and that the same government that's finally "getting it done" didn't think to connect it to their brand new $30bn subway

It was always a scam.
An environmental slaughterfest at Ontario Place. 865 trees clear-cut & Ford billed Ontarians $2.2 billion & signs a 95 year lease after Infrastructure Ontario cited "Aecon Group Inc.," as a "key construction partner" to "Therme's winning bid" when "no partnership existed."
