For emphasis: the Trump Administration is not “mediating the dispute” between Russia and Ukraine. The Trump Administration is working actively to help Russia to achieve its goals in the war, and hopes that it can actively benefit financially from the consequences of what will follow. The Trump Administration is also actively supporting the AFD in Germany, and right wing parties throughout Europe and the rest of the world, including Canada. This policy has been clearly articulated in the US National Security Strategy which was published by the State Department in December of 2025. This needs to sink in, and is part and parcel of The Great Disruption.
Our taxpayer dollars are being spent at an American company (in the middle of a trade war) that offers better deals to folks walking in off the street than to teachers ordering through the Ontario Ministry of Education portal. Make it make sense!!! #OntEd
It’s all folksy bullshit theatre from Doug Ford.
This self-anointed ‘Captain Canada’ is requiring ALL public school teachers to buy their school supplies from American chain ‘Staples’.
His new modular reactors will run on fuel that can only be supplied by the United States.
While flying home this afternoon, I've been thinking more about the Ford government's decision to purchase a private jet for government use.
I've thought about this through a lens of public opinion.
First, this story is going to have legs, and not for the reasons most people think.
Forget the money. This is about what the purchase does to one of the most carefully constructed political brands in Canadian provincial politics. #onpoli
***BREAKING*** Local man says the ppl of Ontario can’t have access to his cellphone records, but is onboard with retailers digging through EVERYONE ELSES (including his own) to determine a random price on Fruit Loops.
@imherenow1 The Am/Can fortress document is one of the most frightening pieces of @OntarioPCParty literature I’ve ever read. It is basically a document whereby @fordnation sells Ontario to the U.S.. I encourage everyone to read it carefully.

Provinces rely heavily on retired teachers because there aren't enough people interested in becoming teachers. Supply lists are depleted. #onted#cdned#edchat https://t.co/a06zApOYYb
@ESL_fairy Have you ever read ‘ The Minpins’ by Roald Dahl? It’s so lovely on many levels. Book I read all night as a kid though…’ The Outsiders’ by S.E Hinton.
@woodcarver_t Peter, you should get onto Bluesky. There are a ton of artists and woodcarvers on there who would love to see your work. Join the #artadventcalendar . A very positive place.
Thinking tonight about how that day, 35 years ago, sitting with other students in my university residence in Ottawa.... the deep shock and sorrow as the news came in about the 14 women dead. My parents calling from an ocean away, terrified because all they knew was there had been a shooting in a "Canadian university".
I think tonight of everything I've been able to do, that those young women would never experience. And it breaks my heart. But it also angers me that today so many years later, we are continuing to have the same conversations, debates about male violence against women....35 long years later.
