So abortion is bad but a cop can shoot and kill a one year old baby named Kohen Wiley because his mother was suspected of shoplifting diapers. She did not by the way. Where is the pro-life outrage? I’ll wait…forever.

60% of Torontonians are concerned about Brad Bradford’s plan to open our drinking water up for privatization. Our water should never be for sale. You'll pay the price. Higher bills. Less safety. As your Mayor, I will protect our drinking water.

This is what accountability looks like. Racism cannot be met with silence, excuses or minimization. When harm occurs, there must be meaningful action. I appreciate Sunnybrook acknowledging the harm caused and taking action. My question now is, how do we protect Black patients and staff from other violent racists like her?
Following our investigation into the recent video circulating on social media of a Sunnybrook employee using racist language toward a fellow passenger on public transit, the individual is no longer employed at Sunnybrook.

The Ontario Health Coalition says Premier @Fordnation needs to explain to Ontarians why most of Ontario’s public hospitals operating rooms are closed most of the time. “We also found significant unused MRI capacity in every single region – that is hours that the MRIs are not used to do scans for patients. . .We asked the hospitals, if their machines and facilities are not being run full time, why not? They told us that they operate for as many hours as they are funded.”-- said Natalie Mehra, executive director of the Ontario Health Coalition on September 16 2026 #onpoli #cdnpoli ontariohealthcoalition.ca/wp…

Replying to @TinaYazdani
DDSB, and yes we got a letter stating that due to budget cuts no soap and paper towels in classrooms, and asked to donate if we could. It’s an absolute travesty we have $$ for handouts to luxury spas but none for toilet paper and paper towels and soap for our kids.

Police DO NOT prevent crime; they respond to it. Crime is prevented by higher wages, guaranteed health care, food security, high-quality child care, housing, good schools, and addiction treatment.

If Netanyahu doesn’t like Mamdani calling him a war criminal, then he should stop committing war crimes. It’s really that simple.

Nearly 2 dozen Conservative were caught ripping off taxpayers. Ford’s response? “One guy volunteered to stop being a Minister, so we’re cool right?” That’s *not* leadership or accountability. Thats gravy-train endorsement!
NEW: Premier Doug Ford “apologizes” for the Minister / MPP hotel expense scandal and says it was “frustrating” On MPP Cho: “Stan stepped down and he did the right thing and paid everything back.” Ford was asked whether he’s asked any other cabinet minister to step down - he doesn’t respond. #onpoli

It’s craży how debt is totally forgivable when it's tied to a failed business or a hedge fund. But the moment it's for school or a hospital bill suddenly it says something about your character.
