After Fletcher says Bradford is being "disrespectful", Nunziata says, "You can't expect anything more from Councillor Bradford."
Bradford does NOT like that. He demands an apology from Nunziata. "That was NOT objective and impartial in your role as the speaker!"

Labor gaining just the tiniest amount of power relative to capital a few years back absolutely broke employers' brains

Liberals talking aloud about how we need to get back to giving people just enough to keep them complacent are really giving the game away. They used to reserve that kind of thing for the back rooms.

Former mayoral candidate Ana Bailao said on AM640 this morning that if we’re not careful, there will be a Zohran Mamdani-style democratic socialism movement here. This, to her mind, would be a very bad thing.

He’ll be gunning for the PM spot at that point.

Dear Ontario, looking like we probably shouldn't re-elect the guy who keeps trying to pave all our farmland and makes us even more dependent on food imported from the states.

If #CPC fortunes can go downhill over the past month so that they are only 3% ahead of the #LPC, Ontario voters need to take this as why a third majority for Doug Ford shouldn't be guaranteed either. Let's #VoteFordOut in 27 days! #ONpoli #ONElxn44 #ONDP #OLP #GPO
