As Ford was polling as the most unpopular Premier in Canada at 21% in the wake of a $30M gravy plane & striking out in Washington, AG Shelley Spence audit reported Ford billed Ontarians a record "$452 million" on shameless self promoting advertisements.

Doug Ford is going to hate this video. All of it. 🎵
A reggae song about Ford Fest, his 21% approval, and that's just the start.

Elliotte is sidestepping the truth a bit as usual. It wasn’t the gold medal victory, it’s the fact that a lot of American NHLers are pro-MAGA/Trump.

Playing in a country that hates Trump after years of being spoon-fed Fox News garbage has many of them rattled

Some great news about potential CFL expansion coming out of Quebec City. But, overall, our elbows are invisible when it comes to Canadian football! This summer, we're lavishing billions upon soccer among all levels of government. Why no federal $$$ for our own homegrown CFL? We could have new teams established in Halifax, QC, K-W, Saskatoon, Kelowna, and Victoria for less than the World Cup costs!

#Unifor National President @Lanampayne delivered a strong message at Parliament’s pre-budget consultations today, calling on the federal government to protect Canadian jobs, strengthen Buy Canadian policies and invest in worker-centred industrial strategies. She also urged permanent improvements to Employment Insurance and protections for collective bargaining rights as workers continue to face the impacts of tariffs, layoffs and economic uncertainty. #canlab #cdnpoli

What the hell is going on in Canadian media?

Why was journalist Tina Yazdani — who was dogged in her coverage of Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s government — suddenly fired from CityNews without any explanation to the public?

This is potential-major-press-freedom-story levels of concerning:

@ArgosNews Please stop promoting Buffalo four down football in Canada. It belongs south of the border. We have our own exciting brand of football. The CFL needs support from Canadians.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Back in April 2025, it was exposed why Trump was placing tarriffs on its allies and other countries around the world.

This is 4 minutes you cannot miss.

No wonder the toddler is unhinged once again.

The Obamas are competent, classy, loving, Harvard and Princeton graduates, loved by many, not on the Epstein files, got the Nobel Peace Prize, and gave us a steady economy to boot!

Repost this if you agree they are AMAZING!

We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❤️

@LWillson_82 @winnipegsun Luke settle down. You’re no expert on Canadian football and you have lots to learn about journalism. Save the 55.

This is very true, sadly and unfortunately.

One of the Star’s top stories is “What US media is saying about the Jays.” And we can't wait to read it. This is what the #Argos and the #CFL are up against here. It's tough for other markets to understand. Leafs aside, our sports identity is tied to American approval - even now.
