Canadian. Tries to hate no one, failing most days due to Doug Ford, Donald Trump, McConnell and other Conservatives/Republicans in Canada and the US. No DMs .

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

A chorus of environmental advocates, legal experts and political parties are sounding the alarm over the Ford government’s latest red tape reduction laws, claiming the proposed bill would gut residents’ ability to challenge provincial decisions that affect the environment.

Footage exclusively obtained from Ukrainian authorities and analyzed by CNN reveals new details of how Russia struck an underground shelter and aid hub in southeastern Ukraine with a massive bunker-busting bomb.

Russia, which consistently denies targeting civilians, has not commented on the strike itself. In a statement to state media, the Russian Defense Ministry said it had attacked Ukrainian military units in the area that day. https://t.co/BEzSR8u40h

I’m fucking sick of Doug Ford changing laws to cover up his corruption and cruelty. Time for him to go.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

This morning, the Russians attacked Komyshuvakha with an FPV drone, where emergency rescue operations have been underway for seven days following an aerial bomb strike that killed 55 people. Unfortunately, more people may still be under the rubble. Absolute cynicism and brutality. There was also an overnight attack on the Dnipro region – the Russians struck energy infrastructure, leaving more than 600,000 people in Dnipro and the region without power. In the Kharkiv region, the situation is difficult too. There are widespread power outages across the country. In the Zhytomyr region alone, 140 apartment buildings were left without heating following a Russian strike. Repair work is underway in virtually every affected city and community. I thank the energy workers, utility workers, and every repair crew who are literally working 24/7 to restore water, electricity, and heating supplies to people.

In total, this past week alone, Russia has launched 115 missiles of various types, nearly 1,900 guided aerial bombs, and more than 3,000 attack drones against our cities and communities. These are combined strikes involving many ballistic missiles. And a significant portion of the missiles were manufactured this year. We constantly provide our partners with information about Russian enterprises involved in ballistic missile production. In October, Ukraine imposed major sanctions packages on the individuals and legal entities involved. It is very important that they be synchronized across Europe and G7 jurisdictions. If the world does not have enough anti-ballistic capabilities to protect Ukrainian skies, then the missiles must be stopped on the production lines. We count on a strong 22nd EU sanctions package. Thank you to all partners who are truly helping.

NEW: Ontario’s own health agency recommended funding a 31-year-old cancer patient’s treatment in the U.S. Two clinical experts agreed it was medically necessary.

But a senior ministry of health official denied her funding anyway — and Sabrina Apitz-Grossman was never told about those recommendations, new FOI records reveal. https://t.co/PsZDozdZbq

Organized crime ring scammed maybe $500M out of OSAP over three years while the minister did nothing

Why hasn’t the Minister been fired?

[Tina Yazdani @TinaYazdani]

Despite the health minister's repeated assurances that decisions about cancer treatment funding are made by medical professionals, newly released FOI records show the final say in at least one case rested with a senior ministry of health official who refused funding, despite the government’s own health agency and two clinical experts recommending it.

NDP Leader Marit Stiles says Ontarians paid for the KPMG report and deserve to know what it found about private career college student aid.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Search and rescue operations have now been underway for three days at the site of the Russian strike on a school in the settlement of Komyshuvakha in the Zaporizhzhia region. The Russians used nine aerial bombs. They first struck people who had come to receive humanitarian aid, and then first responders and police officers who arrived at the scene.

All necessary services are involved. It is an extremely difficult operation, very challenging, and it is being carried out under virtually constant threat of new Russian strikes. As of now, 40 people have been reported killed. Unfortunately, some bodies have not yet been identified. My condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed. More than 30 people may still be under the rubble.

Unfortunately, there has been very little reaction from the world to this insane attack. But it, like thousands upon thousands of other war crimes Russia has committed against Ukraine and Ukrainians, demands a strong response. Evil always goes further if it is left unanswered. We count on a response – Ukraine needs air defense support right now. I am grateful to the partners who are taking such steps.

Ontario Liberal Leader John Fraser on the OSAP freeze: Academy of Learning had 8,500 applications from one location. “If you do the math, that’s somewhere between $170 and half a billion. So there’s this also huge waste of taxpayer money that could have reduced hallway health care, that could have made classrooms smaller.”

Bodycam footage from Ukrainian police officers in Komyshuvakha.

After the first Russian airstrike, they went down into an underground shelter together with civilians. Then more Russian bombs struck the shelter. Their bodycams kept recording until the very end 😢

At least 37 (as of now!) people were killed that day.

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

Death count has risen to 40 people. More than 30 remain under the rubble. Rescuers are searching for a 3rd day under threat of Russian strikes, some have been killed. Ukraine calls for urgent air defence support.

Zelenskyy: "there has been very little reaction from the world to this insane attack."

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

I'm confused, outraged, and upset by the lack of the world's reaction to the criminal Russian double-tap in Komyshuvakha.

Search and rescue operations have been underway for 3 days now following a Russian strike on a school. Russians launched 9 guided aerial bombs, initially targeting residents gathered to receive humanitarian aid, and then striking the first responders and police officers who arrived at the scene.

​People were there to receive bread!

​The death toll is currently at 40 people, with over 30 still missing, and after three days, considering the explosions were so strong that recovered bodies are actually "fragments," that means that they are likely gone too.

​I can't understand why this is not news, why the f*** is this normalized???

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Russia attacked a hospice for terminally ill elderly people in Dnipro today.

​But remember, Putin is a "humanitarian" don't get it twisted.
