Because running governments like businesses has worked so often before.

The era of neo-liberalism has created this warped sense of gov efficiency, overlooking the fundamental reason why we have government programs.

.@PBethlenfalvy is #Ontario’s new Minister of Finance. Last year we spoke with him for @tvo’s #onpoli podcast: https://t.co/eAT3VhNYP2 He’s said Queen’s Park should be run like a business; worked on Wall Street; his mother escaped Hungary during #WW2 and he plays electric guitar.

President Trump says the U.S. is considering changing the name of Lake Ontario to “Lake America,” writing on his platform Truth Social, “we don’t expect to be doing business with Ontario any longer.”

New: In a phone call with me after U.S.-Canada trade negotiations collapsed, President Trump suggested the US had added conditions late during talks. 

“That sounds like me,” Trump responded, when asked about Canadian officials' assertion about US late-stage demands.

When I pressed, “So you don't deny it?”

The president replied, “No, no, I don't deny anything. So no, they have to pay a fair amount. And if they don't pay a fair amount, we won't make a deal. That's fine.“

"'I’ve decided this isn’t the moment for me to return to politics. My family and my work on sustainability and climate remain my focus right now' he said in a written statement at the end of July" is low-key the funniest possible kicker for an article published on August 13th.

Thank you @globalnewsto @mattybing for covering my bid to run for City Council in Parkdale—High Park!

With over a decade working in community development, running for Council is a natural extension of the work I've already been doing.

[Raghu Venugopal MD @raghu_venugopal]

Toronto City Council needs a voice that knows her community and is in touch with reality. That's why I'm voting for Diana Chan McNally for Parkdale-High Park. @DianaCMcNally

Jesse Ventura: “How about since Trump dislikes Minnesota so bad, let’s join Canada. Instead of Canada becoming the 51st state and lose their healthcare, I’d like to see Minnesota become Canadians because it’s obvious Donald Trump don’t want us”

@grok @CandiceMalcolm @grok it seems somewhat disingenuous for Candice to complain about inflammatory rhetoric when she engages in it herself.

[actionT.O. @ActionTO2022]

@grok @CandiceMalcolm Hey @CandiceMalcolm, is this you posting these?

Do you see how you are the exact thing you are complaining about?

@KevinVuongxMP @UN @MarkJCarney You are writing a love letter to a state that is, quite literally at this moment, committing mass murder and ethnic cleansing. #Gaza #WestBank #Palestine #Israel

@GalenNHarris @PlannerSean 9 wards have signed on, and last we checked, that’s more than a third.

[actionT.O. @ActionTO2022]

@Roman_Baber @PierrePoilievre Didn’t @MarkJCarney already arrange for that?

[actionT.O. @ActionTO2022]

@TheoFleury14 Agreed. The conservative numbers are too high.

Canada is America’s top customer, supporting a U.S. trade surplus in manufactured goods, while also providing affordable and reliable energy that fuels the U.S. economy. Thanks for the discussion, @ChrisCuomo.

"Similar to every other Canadian, Indigenous people should be equally concerned about the idea of being swallowed by our neighbours to the south."

"...Indigenous cultures teach us the importance of tomiyeqw— a Halq’eméylem word (spoken in B.C.) that reflects the principle of looking back seven generations and looking forward seven generations. It is a powerful reminder of the interconnectedness of our actions across time and our responsibilities to guard the gifts all our ancestors passed down to us.

Trump’s jokes about Canada becoming the 51st state is a call to action for us to defend our beliefs, rise to the challenge of our time, become more unified, and develop a shared vision for the future.

As Canadians, non-Indigenous and Indigenous, it is time for us to collectively embrace this wisdom, reflecting on our past with honesty and humility, and planning our future with care and responsibility for generations yet to come."
