If you live in a major city, you may have noticed more people wearing bandanas around their neck, as the accessory has made a small comeback. Typically made from cotton, the bandana — distinct from the ascot — has a long history in working class aesthetics, as it serves a practical function.

TVO: "What does (losing elimination status) mean?"

Dr. Bowdish: "It means we're on a list of countries that are torn apart by war & that don't have good public health -- & none of our G7 contemporaries are on that list. It shows that there are multiple systems that broke down to have this happen."

The family doctor crisis, underfunding of public health, misinformation, liberal exemption policies, lack of access to vaccine hesitancy clinics have all led to the resurgence of measles. Was very happy to be invited to join @jeyantvo.bsky.social at @tvotoday.bsky.social to discuss.

Ford needs to butt out.

But it's also because his ad campaign has dual objectives that are now in conflict with both the economic imperative & Canadian interests.

One campaign objective is hidden but look at Ford's statement. The 2 target audiences & 2 objectives are identified. #OnPoli

Doug Ford
@fordnation

Our intention was always to initiate a conversation about the kind of economy that Americans want to build and the impact of tariffs on workers and businesses. We've achieved our goal, having reached U.S. audiences at the highest levels. I've directed my team to keep putting our message in front of Americans over the weekend so that we can air our commercial during the first two World Series games.

In speaking with Prime Minister Carney, Ontario will pause its U.S. advertising campaign effective Monday so that trade talks can resume.

The people elected our government to protect Ontario—our workers, businesses, families and communities. That's exactly what I'm doing. Like I said earlier today: Canada and the U.S. are neighbours, friends and allies. We're so much stronger when we work together. Let's work together to build Fortress Am-Can and make our two countries stronger, more prosperous and more secure.

Ford is an idiot. Can't wait to watch him try to "aw shucks, folks" his way out of pulling a stupid stunt he thought he could use to bolster his own ambitions.

But, Dale is spot on. Canadians need to finally understand there is no deal lurking, and it's time to abandon this fantasy.

Dale Smith @journodale.bsky.social · 6d

There was never any deal to be had anyway, so this just pulls off the façade.

A thing white folks (especially white folks claiming to be anti-racist (including me)) need to keep in mind is that we will ALWAYS be racist.

Our prejudices don't just disappear one day because we've declared ourselves to be un-prejudiced.

Often, we aren't even aware of how racist we're being.

Shay Stewart-Bouley @blackgirlinmaine.bsky.social · 12d

The majority of white folks, including white politicians and aspiring politicians, aren't anti racists.

Most white folks who proclaim themselves not racist are indeed racist or engaging in micro aggressions.

It's either out loud racism or that quiet sneaky racism that smiles at ya.

To you, it’s just the word “lame”, and I am asking you to go with any number of other words. Some can be profane! I sure am.

To me—a person with mobility issues—it’s a grating reminder again and again that society sees me as inferior. And I think people could stand to really think about that.

The Trillium continues to hammer this story.

"On Jan. 24, 2025, the premier’s office announced that the Carpenters’ Regional Council would receive $14 million from the SDF’s fifth round, plus another $13 million through the program’s capital stream."

#OnPoli

The largest grant from the fifth round of the Skills Development Fund was $14 million to the Carpenters’ Regional Council.

Months earlier, on May 16, 2024, the carpenters’ union hosted a fundraiser in Woodbridge, Ont. that banked the labour minister’s riding association almost $120,000, its financial filings to Elections Ontario show.

Piccini and “special guest Doug Ford” were expected at the $1,000-a-ticket event, according to its description in the Northumberland—Peterborough South PC association’s financial filings.

Many of the 122 tickets sold to the fundraising dinner were bought by Carpenters’ Regional Council executives, board members or staff, or members of its affiliates, The Trillium confirmed based on information in financial filings.

Contributions to MPPs’ riding associations are largely used to bankroll election campaigns.
