The government is using the trade war to rush through sweeping legislation that will create crises, not solve them.

The Trump administration is disappearing people. This is very, very dark:

The Trump administration’s push for mining near the Boundary Waters at the international border is stalled for now. But north of the border, opponents are still wondering when Canada will step in https://t.co/VZOJqw0AiW

Getting pencils and notebooks into classrooms isn’t rocket science, but Doug Ford still managed to make a mess.

Today, we called on the Auditor General to conduct a value-for-money audit into the multi-million dollar deal with Staples for classroom supplies.

This will go down as the most corrupt media merger in history.

Giving the Ellison family, Saudi Arabia, UAE & Qatar, control of CBS, CNN & TikTok for a promise to make 30 movies a year is insane.

These guys will make the Melania film look like it should have won Best Picture.

[The Breach @TheBreachMedia]

Mark Carney is promising corporations a “safe place to invest.” One thing he appears to want to make sure they’re safe from is striking workers.

Exploiting fears of Trump, @Martin_Lukacs says Liberals are muzzling federal workers to serve a full throttle corporate agenda.

TLDR: SIU concludes police officer (SO/subject officer) that tackled a 21 year old cyclist to the ground giving them a “traumatic brain injury” over a minor traffic violation - was acting appropriately - no punishment, no accountability, no culture change, nothing will happen

For all the Canadians admonishing mistreatment of incarcerated people in the US - you need to turn around and address the crisis at home as well. This article lists abhorrent abuse in an Ontario jail.

i try to report on data center environmental worries very soberly and always check my facts. but my god the projections for fossil fuel buildouts keep going up every time I check. i do think if you’re not worried about ai’s impact on the climate you’re not paying attention

how it started: how it’s going:

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Once again, health care workers and patients are left paying for Doug Ford’s devastating cuts to our health care.

Firing health care workers when we should be hiring more is only going to make wait times longer and leave patients sicker.

Doug Ford and Sylvia Jones need to actually listen to experts, invest in our health care system, and put patients first.

Ontarians deserve so much better.

Good news for grocery competition: The Competition Bureau has turned Empire's voluntary commitments on property controls into a legally binding agreement. But the Bureau's work isn't done until all players abandon the harmful practice.

“Barrie Hospital CEO made more than the prime minister, premier and governor general. Gail Hunt: The president & CEO of the largest hospital in the region, RVH in Barrie, earned $604,438 in 2025”

As I’ve said for more than a decade now: majority of our tax dollars pay govt bureaucrats to push paper & ration essential medical care, while patients suffer on endless waitlists.

What other candidates in other elections are gaming social media like this? And who are the clients outside of politics? Who is inflating their audiences? Can this be used for targeted outrage campaigns?

[Mahdis Habibinia @mahdishabibinia]

The National Observer’s Rory White reports Toronto mayoral hopeful Brad Bradford is using an app that feeds supporters AI-generated comments to post on social media for “rewards” & detects criticism then tasks supporters to spread counter-narratives.

Never ever believe a poll is this corrupt shithole. 🤣🤣🤣

Of fucking course a poll designed and paid for by a pension funds that operate airports is gonna show support for privatizating airports.

Oh…that’s why all those people died tomorrow.

Heard it more than once from people we interviewed putting this story together: “this is America’s next opioid crisis.”

[Jason Kint @jason_kint]

Trump administration recently sided with trillion dollar companies, OpenAI and Microsoft, at the expense of the American creators whose work they stole (see below). Interesting to now see AI companies’ trade group leader go on CNN and say the admin is flailing on AI policy.

[NDP @NDP]

A strike is by definition a labour disruption.

Liberals are going after the right to strike.
