I think a GoFund Me to buy all the tickets and send Toronto's homeless would be a lovely gesture.
$1750 for dinner in a private residence in Forest Hill. (Which is a very ritzy neighbourhood in Toronto.)

Look, most leaders of major parties do shit like this.

But let's be clear: you can't do it and claim to be "a man of the people."

Striking “democratic” is an…interesting touch. #ableg #abpoli
So Alberta's latest proposed law would:

👉 Take power over citizen-led referendums from the chief electoral officer & give it to cabinet.

Why is the horizon brown in Alberta? Why are cancer rates closing on 60%?

You can thank the UCP and oil and gas.

These fuckers don't care if you die while the world (literally) burns. As long as they can make bank.

Now they want to legislate that they don't have to pay for their fuck up.
