When the Pentagon announced a $620 million loan last year to a startup linked to Donald Trump Jr., defense officials and the company tried to tamp down suspicions of cronyism.

We found that the request came directly from the White House.

NEW: A secret report on the financial stability of the ROM suggested selling off artifacts to make up for a post pandemic drop in visitors.

The Ford government refuses to release the report and says no such sale was ever considered.

Top Ukrainian defence official says Canadian-made drones will help cut off supply road to Crimea.

Russia, meanwhile, says Canada-Ukraine drone deal makes Canada a "warmonger" and makes veiled threats of retribution.

Make no mistake, this is Ford’s PCs shifting money out of public school budgets and into the pockets of a single corporate party donor.

Odds are it’s going to be American company Staples… again.

WOW. Big news.

The Assembly of Treaty Chiefs just dropped a bomb on Danielle Smith.

Treaty 6, 7 & 8. United. Unanimously calling for an RCMP and Auditor General investigation into whether the Premier and her UCP government committed TREASON under Section 46 of the Criminal Code of Canada.

The Chiefs met on Treaty 7 territory in Calgary on June 16 and voted as one — pushing a separation referendum that puts Canada’s sovereignty at risk, trampling the Treaty relationship, ignoring privacy violations affecting millions, and opening the door to foreign interference. That’s the case they’re laying out.

And they’re going back to the source. When Treaty was signed, the Northwest Mounted Police — now the RCMP — made a promise: protect First Nations, protect these Territories. The Crown guaranteed peace and goodwill in exchange for sharing this land.

The Chiefs are saying: eff around and find out.

[Common Sense 🇺🇸💙 @commons96055467]

They told JD in the situation room, that trump mutilated a minor’s nipples during a rape. What did JD say? Jonathan Swann and Maggie Haberman have the recording of that moment. NY Times, release it now. This is a national security blackmail crisis. “NippleGate” must be exposed.

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

The fact that the Epstein Estate ACTUALLY PAID a settlement to one of the women who alleged that Donald Trump raped her as a minor, and it was paid AFTER Epstein died, as told under oath by Epstein's longtime accountant, should be a more significant story. The fact that Trump said he wasn't ever on Epstein's plane and now we found out he was, should be a more significant story. The fact that senior officials gathered in the Situation Room to concoct and coordinate an Epstein coverup IS a significant story, and being treated as such, but in light of all the rest and his behavior throughout, it should be the end of his presidency.

"This airport expansion would have jets flying over our waterfront every 2.5 minutes. The noise, the pollution, would absolutely destroy the waterfront." @OntarioNDP MPP @ChrisGlover calls on the Ford & Carney governments to give Torontonians their plan for Billy Bishop airport.

NEW: we’re learning more about the cost of “Protect Ontario” ads to taxpayers.

FOI records show the cost for just one ministry to produce & run them last year was nearly $10 million.

The total the Ford government has spent across all ministries is expected to be much higher.

[Michael Gerald Gibbs🏳️‍🌈🍁 🇺🇦 (He/Him) @Mikeggibbs]

Mike Harris resigned when PC Party support fell to 34%.

Because that was considered untenable for a sitting premier: the public were still angry Bob Rae held on thru huge levels of unpopularity for 5 full years.

Interestingly, Harris didn't make false claims about the polls.

He accepted the public turned against him.

So he did the honourable thing.

It was his finest moment.

Our current Premier, with an approval rating in the low 20s, is too small a man for that.

#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “It was supposed to open Friday, it is not open because Trump says he does not want it open. When this bridge does open some day, if Trump ever lets it open, you should know that there is a competing bridge a little way down the river, a privately-owned very old very congested toll bridge that will likely LOSE some of its traffic…because of competition. It will lose some of its traffic to this pretty, brand new bridge that has just been built. The family that operates the competing old bridge, earlier this year, made a $1 million donation to Donald Trump’s super pac. In short order, a member of that family then got an in person meeting with Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The White House and the pac say that was just a coincidence…but after the million dollar donation, he gets this meeting, and then the SAME day of the meeting, Howard Lutnick calls President Donald Trump and then Trump suddenly discovers new supposedly trade-related reasons why he’s now suddenly against this bridge, even though previously he has been for it.” 🤦‍♀️

"While it is not surprising for a premier with a comparatively low approval rating to express unhappiness with the data, we note that Premier Ford has at times been among the most approved-of provincial leaders in the country based on data from this same quarterly survey."

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

Premier Doug Ford received a sharp rebuke from a Canadian polling firm after he cast doubts on the authenticity of the results.

The poll found Ford's personal approval rating now sits at 21% in the wake of the 'gravy plane' scandal.

The Toronto Port Authority has shared its early plans for the $5 billion expansion of Billy Bishop airport with provincial & federal officials, but is withholding this information from Mayor Olivia Chow and the public https://t.co/6Tz3OSaOHs #onpoli #cdnpoli #TOpoli

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

Premier Doug Ford on the Angus Reid poll that puts his personal approval rating at 21%:

“They put this fake poll out, they poll the NDP and Liberal caucus,” Ford falsely claims.

Ford says PC party polling shows he would win a “massive majority” if the election were to be held today.

“A government cannot lead, they cannot earn trust, they cannot solve problems if it is constantly running from the truth... Sylvia Jones, has always insisted she acted as soon as she knew. We now have incontrovertible evidence that the Ministry of Health actually did know.”
