@BermanPCMD@nenshi It is de rigueur these days that to be a progressive you must hate Israel. No thought, no nuance, no understanding. Just a knee jerk reaction. Not surprising but still disappointing.
@TDotResident The incompetence and corruption of this government is appalling but it’s the blatant hypocrisy that puts me over the edge. “Folks, the gravy train stops here.”
I live in Northwestern Ontario. Right now, the Boreal forest is burning.
I'm writing this beneath the dark orange plume from the Quetico wildfires.
These are some of the reports coming out as communities fight to survive:
"No fire crews left for new fires."
"We had no warning."
Families are self-evacuating by private boat across lakes because they didn't receive evacuation information. They're fleeing towering flames with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
This is unacceptable in a province as wealthy as Ontario.
I'm calling out Doug Ford. His government has underfunded Ontario's wildfire management capacity by tens of millions of dollars.
@fordnation you want our Ring of Fire, our water, our forests. You want to store nuclear waste in our bedrock and run an oil pipeline through our watersheds.
But you won't work with northern communities. You make decisions for us without us, and then fail to provide the basic public services we PAY FOR and rely on: wildfire protection, health care, education, safe highways and social services.
Northern Ontario deserves better than this feckless leadership.

@ColinDMello@ghost_gurney The hits just keep on coming with this government. They are exceptionally good at wasting our hard earned tax dollars. Please, Ontario, vote them out.
@DrKateTO “Free” family barbecue 🤣. I have never, in my long life, seen a government as corrupt as @fordnation. This, the incessant ads, grifting and scandals, they’ll destroy this province.
@RNN_RoyalNews Personally, I've never understood the appeal of breakfast in bed. I want to get up, meditate, stretch or workout, shower and then sit at a table and eat.
@Canellelabelle Ha, ha, like the Wales I have 2 boys with a girl in between controlling everything. And the boys have no doubt just who is in charge. She will make a fine Princess Royal and be a great support to her brother when he is King.
@FClapiote@Uzonna7 Agree it was homage to Battleship Potemkin. I always thought it was a bit of an in joke because if you went to film school or really knew film you would know Eisenstein’s classic film.
