Is the Ford government about to grab City land at the Exhibition to support their Ontario Place privatization scheme?

[Dean Blundell🇨🇦 @ItsDeanBlundell]

Doug Ford is corrupt AF as is every person in his inner circle.

Mind blowing.

You don’t swipe billions by yourself.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has identified 12 cases where grocers engaged in "maple washing," a practice where companies use Canadian branding, like the maple leaf, to promote imported food products.

The Ontario Science Centre didn’t need to be shut down. The public was lied to by their own government.

Still find it difficult to believe this transfer window was real.

The Doug Ford government, that’s currently under an RCMP criminal investigation for corruption, is once again being accused of corruption. Vote them out.

Both pigs were raised under identical free range conditions. The right was supplemented with some grain/corn/soy based feed the left was left to forage naturally
Pretty much shows the benefits of grass fed and finished (no grain fed) meat.
It should also give you some indication of what grain/soy/corn does to our bodies.

Trump says he plans to use "economic force" to make Canada a state

@theJagmeetSingh The country will never vote ndp with you as its leader. If you truely support the values of the ndp party you would be resigning right along side Trudeau. Just another wolf in sheep’s clothing.

@truckdriverpleb Dear Mr. Trump. Go fuck yourself. Love Canada.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

Metrolinx is “supposed to be” an arms length provincial transit agency. They originally promised to complete the Eglinton LRT in 2020. It’s now been revealed, thanks to a story by the Toronto Star’s Ben Spurr, that they’ve been keeping the LRT’s actual opening date a secret because the Doug Ford government ordered them to. Torontonians deserve transparency and accountability from Queen’s Park. Our community, and the long suffering businesses on Eglinton, want the transit line finally up and running.

If Doug Ford is hellbent on destroying the Science Centre and abandoning our communities, I want Toronto to take a stand.

At this point in the Greenbelt story, I feel like we need a tracker that lists each developer and which corruption scandals link to them.

I'll try to summarize in this thread 🧵over the next couple of days.
