NEW: Donors to the PC Party have funded thousands of dollars in meals, flights and hotel room costs for Willowdale MPP Stan Cho — a former senior minister in Premier Doug Ford’s cabinet who resigned amid a spending scandal at Queen’s Park.
Between 2023 and 2026, the MPP billed the office for pricey dinners at steakhouses and lobster restaurants, airline tickets, hotel stays at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier and even the cost of renting a vehicle from a limousine company.

As someone who left home in L.A. to build a life in Toronto back in 2019, Kawhi's return means a whole lot to me.

ALERT: Muhammad Saad Riaz, Pakistani journalist & media professional who recently joined our launch team as content strategist, was abducted in Lahore last week. We've since found out that ridiculous & spurious charges of supporting terror have been brought against him.
🚨Israel assassinated Imad Miqdad yesterday in a drone strike, targeting his solar-powered phone charging station in Gaza yesterday.
Miqdad had been providing civilians with a rare means of communication amid ongoing electricity cuts.
The strike killed him and destroyed the facility, further limiting access to basic services and connectivity for residents.
Here's a megathread on the war on Iran that focuses on the deeper dynamics, potential trajectories, and likely outcomes.
A lot will change over the next few weeks - this thread is about what won't.
Stay until the end for an announcement & an invitation.
I have a question, maybe one that will make some of us uncomfortable
Why do parents force their daughters to return to abusive, violent and unhappy marriages? Why is there such a fixation on girls getting married to begin with ? And then on remaining married at any cost?
Why do parents- at least those with wealth and well being- agree to provide cars, cash and gold to 'buy' happiness for their daughters?
When will we stop making marriage the primary goal for women. Frankly, the search for a suitable boy, is no longer the book i want to read.
The gruesome murder of Nikki Bhati, a 28 year old make up artiste and content creator has sent shock waves through India. She was burnt alive by her husband - her 6 year old was witness to this, saying quietly, "Papa ne Mummy ko Chaanta Mara aur phir Lighter Se Jala Diya".
But are we asking the questions we need to ask ?
What is the family's role in supporting a woman who wants to leave an abusive personal relationship?
Are we going to keep stigmatising divorce so that our daughters end up dead - and if not dead- miserably unhappy.
Do you know that Nikki Bhati left for her parents home six months ago after being assaulted by her husband Vipin Bhati. But a "Panchayat" urged them to reunite.
Today, her mother says they made a big mistake. And as her sister here says Nikki would have been alive today had she been allowed to walk out
The stigma against divorce and talking about domestic violence is so real that ...while 31% of women at last count said they had experienced domestic abuse- 85 %of women did not report domestic violence officially.
I don’t know if I have ever seen another military target children so intentionally and with such regularity and if we had a legacy media industry that actually covered this issue professionally, fairly and accurately this would be a top story for every one of them.
