If the @ontarioliberal.bsky.social base is demanding accountability, they should also demand electoral justice. Winning 30% of the vote but just 11% of the seats is outrageously undemocratic.
Any leader serious about renewal should be raising hell and fighting for proportional representation.

I assure you, the only thing Speaker “Moses” Mike Johnson is praying for, is that nobody ever checks his hard drive. What did Frank Lucas say, that “the loudest man in the room is the weakest one in the room?” Well, I’ve found that the loudest Christian in the room is the biggest sinner in the room…
"Christians" in Congress ignoring Jesus's command to not pray in public (Matthew 6:5-7) to beseech permission to ignore Jesus's command to give to the poor (Matthew 19:21) with their hideous Big Ugly Bill.
These are not Christians. They are selfish scoundrels who only pretend to follow Jesus.
