Collins was quoted saying β€œthat the voters absolutely promised to me that they won’t do this to me again.” And I trust them.

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about β€œNATO not being there for America” is perfect. "Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. 'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth." Credit to: Jim Keller

Brad Bradford didn’t even serve the Beaches. Everyone has had this tiresome experience…
As a resident of his riding, I never received more than an automated email response to any of my queries to Bradford’s office. I finally gave up trying to contact him. You don’t want that in a councillor. You certainly don’t want it as your mayor. Do better. Vote Olivia Chow.

Do you think poor people should be allowed to vote? Well Brad Bradfords buddy Shopify’s Toby Lutke doesn’t think so. This list of far right Brad Bradfords endorsements are growing. Terrifying. Vote for Olivia Chow

The biggest lie in politics is that conservatives are strong fiscal managers. They never have been and never will be.
Remember when Ontario kicked Kathleen Wynne to the curb because Doug Ford said she had huge deficits?

At a loss for words on the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Then I watched nearly 200 @FordhamNYC students, many born years later, climb 2,200 stadium steps in honor of the ascent FDNY firefighters undertook that day. They showed up. They remembered. I have hope for this generation.

I understand the Welland Canal, which connects Lake Ontario to Lake Eire is huge for American shipping. It shall henceforth be known as the America Canal.

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means β€œthe lake is beautiful, the lake is big”. The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.
