We need a world that values humanity not human production, values care work as high skilled and essential, and doesn’t use racism and sexism to coerce it out of unwilling workers.

This is not a feel ok as long as you try your best scenario.

@ElectionsCan_E Maybe they shouldn’t have gone back on the “last election under First Past the Post” then

[Hunkerton @Hunkerton]

Fantastic tactic (direct action) about the mess of First Past the Post by @LongestBallot

Results for the Toronto–St. Paul’s by-election may take a bit longer than usual to come in, as the unusual size of the ballot may slow down the counting process. We still expect results to be available tonight.

Good morning! I will be addressing this more formally at a later date, but I just wanted to share amidst rumours of an early election that I will be running as an Independent Member in Hamilton Centre.

#LATEST: Health officials say at least 210 dead Palestinians, including children, were brought to local hospitals following attacks in the Nuseirat and Deir al-Balah areas on Saturday. https://t.co/vp4f2SH1DE

@VirginPlusCare no cell service or internet for hours in Toronto. Just started working again, called Virgin and instead of an update got told no issues in Canada and cell payments up to date. When said “ok well I’m reporting a problem” tech said “no issue, you called me”

@TTCnotices what is with the delay in reporting. Yonge line 1 held due to emergency alarm at Wellesley

There are 18 Palestinian children in Israeli prisons without criminal charges. I condemn kidnapping children regardless of who does it.

Gigi Hadid has just issued this statement.

Her sister Bella, who has been a very vocal advocate for the Palestinian people in the past, has not issued a statement yet.

Gigi and Bella’s father is Palestinian.

@marusiagryba @_scottreid Oooof this is pretty cringe bud. He served in the SS…. There isn’t an “ok reason” to be a Nazi.

[Hunkerton @Hunkerton]

@CityNewsKIT Disgusting so much for “but we swear this is to protect children” nonsense, it’s be straight or die garbage, throwing rocks at babies is just saying the quiet part out loud. Little ones you didn’t deserve this, us older queers have got your back

credit to all journalists who covered the Greenbelt scandal — and especially to my colleagues @ColinDMello and @isaaccallan. Relentless reporting and went down many avenues to get original reporting including mandate letters.

true public service journalism.

BREAKING: Premier Doug Ford is losing another high profile cabinet minister.

Monte McNaughton is leaving provincial politics at the height of the Greenbelt scandal.

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

Premier Doug Ford claims he’s never taken a penny from anyone.

The integrity commissioner disputes that.

Tickets were sold by the Ontario PC fund chair to developers, which then went to the premier’s son-in-law for the stag.

In the Fordnation diocese, you blow straight past penance going from confession to forgiveness. But will voters agree? At what point do they wonder about his sincerity? Does there come a time when Ontario says, 'I've heard it too often. Sorry, you're not sorry.' #onpoli

[Scott Reid @_scottreid]

Finally, there's the question of 'Sorry'. Ford is good at apologizing. All things considered, he did it well today. Acknowledged he made a promise, that he broke his promise and that it was all his fault. But he's also very quick to assert that he deserves absolution. #onpoli

[Scott Reid @_scottreid]

Remember, the ownership didn't change - its classification did. Mths ago the land was worth little because it was in the Greenbelt. Then, it was worth billions because the government took it out of the Greenbelt. Now, it's worth little again. There will be lawsuits #onpoli

[Hunkerton @Hunkerton]

Translation: Doug walking his f-up back is good, but the public is now left holding the bag. We will end paying developers to clean up his mess. Delightful. He needs to resign. Now

[Scott Reid @_scottreid]

Three big questions after Ford's Greenbelt Grovel. First, how does he put those parcels of land back? Won't developers argue that they, in good faith, took part in the govt's bad faith process? Surely, they'll sue. Will the gov't pass legislation to indemnify? Can it? #onpoli

[MPP Jamie West @jamiewestndp]

Let me see if I get this straight: Doug Ford's wealthy #GreenbeltGrab friends get $8.3 BILLION and the rest of Ontario gets boiled weiners?

No wonder #FraudFest is trending.
