Natalie Harp showing @realDonaldTrump coverage by @MSNOWNews and @CNN…. What a devoted little girlfriend. Interesting how @FLOTUS just isn’t into it….or into Donald at all.

Canada also has a $16 Billion alcohol deficit meaning it costs taxpayers more money in terms of the legal, health and societal costs associated to the negative impacts of alcohol than the revenues it generates all levels of governments.

Who’s going to start the petition to ensure @CanadaSoccerEN follows the leadership of EUFA and boycotts the sale of @FIFA to corrupt billionaires like Trump who will compromise the integrity of @FIFAWorldCup ?

Next thing you know, @fordnation will try and take credit when a decline is already in motion. #onpoli

The @realDonaldTrump and @GOP assholery never ends. @petehoekstra attends the funeral of a @TPSOperations officer murdered by …. an illegal weapon smuggled into Canada from the States. 80% of gun deaths in Ontario are by U.S. guns. Who’s a threat again?

Why can’t anyone differentiate? Israel is hiding behind a veil of religious fanaticism comprised of racism, greed and bigotry. #GazaGenocide‌ #GazaGenocide‌ Fuck. Israel. Fuck @netanyahu. Fuck @IDF. I love this guy telling it like it is.

I stand with @s_guilbeault. @MarkJCarney and the @liberal_party have lost my support until they return to policy that protects the environment. Perhaps I have always belonged with @NDP and @avilewis .

Too little too late @HeinzTweets . Forget the massive marketing campaign. You dumped Canada and @TweetLeamington so we dumped you. We buy @Frenchs ketchup and we’re not going back. #Canada #ketchup #buyCanadian #onpoli

Unless @realDonaldTrump appears in person to the media tonight, my bet is that he staged the shooting at the White House to distract from him going to the wedding. @GOP #MAGA

It was well-known in Etobicoke that the Ford brothers were the go-to guys for drugs when they were in their teens and early 20’s. It’s unconscionable that @fordnation now wants to ban encampments, the end result of the demise Doug helped create. #onpoli @PCPartyOntario

Fireworks were out of control over the May 24 weekend in #HamOnt. 4 nights. Two nights in public parks. One night until midnight. Now people think to use them as weapons. @cityofhamilton ban fireworks in our city. @AndreaHorwath #Hamilton

Replying to @InStyle
@InStyle It’s disappointing to see you showcase Angelina Jolie’s warped family values as she brainwashes her kids to hate their dad. Brad Pitt lives with a substance use disorder. A decent mother, instead of a selfish vindictive child, would teach her kids compassion for him.

Addiction is a disease, not a character flaw. Media who publish stories like yours normalizes hate and discrimination against a disability. Shame on you. Traumatizing your kids to sooth your ego is sick. She should be ashamed of herself and so should you.

I stopped watching @NBA because the referees swung games. Watching referees throw the game away from @TFC it wouldn’t take more to abandon @MLS as well. The bullshit tonight is intolerable. The corrupt referee cost Toronto two goals…. league direction or money changed hands?

Every single @TFC starter but Captain Jonathan Osorio and Walker Zimmerman is on the injured list. The bench is stacked with young talent.

If @TorontoFC had even half of their core players, even if the referee hadn’t unjustly nullified a goal, @CharlotteFC would not be winning.
