I really try to make jokes and find fun ways to spin terrible news on here, but I read this and the only thing I have to say about it is that Doug Ford is a piece of shit who shouldn't be running an Arby's, let alone a province. Fuck you, Doug. share.google/gPPqvtiuqD0O...

Doug Ford is corrupt. Have they done anything that isn’t corrupt?

Here’s an idea — don’t visit that MAGA h*llh*le that’s swiftly descending into a racist, fascist state that threatens Canada with annexation and breaks trade agreements.
Don’t give a dime to that corrupt, bigoted regime.

Thing is, the very wealthy would have no problem paying taxes, their wealth would continue to accumulate. Once you’ve amassed a certain large wealth, it starts to grow exponentially, like a virus.
An oligarchy virus.
A greed virus.

Ontario's hospitals have been starved to the point of collapse, but sure, find more savings because Doug Ford refuses to fund the system adequately.
Just appalling.

His father ran residential schools.
When I was a kid, the dedicated teachers at St. Rose School in Edmonton showed up every day to set my peers and I up for success.

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to go back and thank the teachers doing the same for the next generation #WorldTeachersDay.

Charlie Kirk called his opponents evil, drew up a hit list of left-wing professors, called George Floyd a scumbag, said black people were better off in slavery, black women were too stupid to take seriously & gay people should be stoned to death, but our rhetoric is the problem?

We paid $4-$5 billion in illegally fixed prices for BREAD?

Criminal charges would send a much clearer message to the Grocery Barons.

Or how about breaking up the corporate clubs that price gouge, collude and control every sector of our economy?

Broken systems need systemic solutions.

Very concerned by the broad powers the bill confers, which could be used to obtain a good deal of personal information about people. The bill would allow the police to ask someone providing a service whether they knew of any other services provided to a client or subscriber. 4/

Canada was there on day one of the Battle of Britain.
No questions asked.
In the battle for Canada, the Labour government is pusillanimous.
They are begging us not to "drag" the king into anything that would offend Trump.
File their objections under F--k right off.

A Christian school saw a private post from a gay teen who feared conservative backlash to coming out.

Then they:

— Banned her from graduation
— Withheld her diploma
— Threatened to sabotage her future

Now she’s suing them and she told me why.

The Catholic Church is threatening to excommunicate priests who follow a new WA law requiring them to report child abuse confessions—yet it rarely excommunicates priests who commit abuse.

Protecting predators over children is indefensible.

A real Elbows Up plan would attack inequality - show that all Canadians are in this together!

Ie, tax the ultra rich to help take care of everyone.

Of course, only the NDP is calling for this.

You should be able to see everything the PM and all the premiers own. MPs and MPPs too.

All their assets, all their investments.

For one, it would help make the trend of politicians getting very rich while in office visible to more people.
