CBC’s Rosemary Barton exemplifies exactly why intelligent, accomplished people hesitate to run for office: even when they follow the rules—something Mark Carney has been clear about from day one—they are subjected to relentless badgering.
If Canada wants strong political leadership, we need to move past this tall poppy syndrome. We should be encouraging, not discouraging, successful private-sector leaders from stepping up to serve their country—especially in times of crisis.
For over a decade, Canada has struggled to find competent political leadership across the spectrum. Now more than ever, we need bold, unconventional leaders willing to take on the responsibility of guiding the country through these unprecedented challenges. It is hard work and it is a sacrifice. Show some respect.
Rosemary, enough already.
President Trump’s latest tariffs are an attack on Canadian workers, families, and businesses. My government will ensure our response has maximum impact in the US and minimal impact here in Canada, while supporting the workers impacted.
My government will keep our tariffs on until the Americans show us respect and make credible, reliable commitments to free and fair trade.
An explosive report shows the decision to open the Greenbelt was rigged to benefit a few developers, who now stand to gain $8bil. We can’t let Ford get away with it. Call on the Ford govt to reverse the Greenbelt decision NOW: https://t.co/nNhKd8hlYo
How the CBC was formed from the CRBC, a historic thread!
The Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission was formed through the Canadian Broadcasting Act on May 26, 1932 by the Conservative government of R.B. Bennett. This new network was based on the CNR radio network.

I’d love to hear a Mayoral candidate say: I will prioritize safe + frequent TTC operations, and the aggressive building of new affordable housing on city-owned land. No gimmicks, no strings attached. And I’ll put the best team in the civil service together to deliver.
From 1989 to 2019, the richest 1% of families increased their share of total national wealth from 27% to 34%.
At the same time, families in the bottom 50% saw their share drop from 4% to 2%.
When I say trickle-down economics is a hoax, this is what I mean.
The solution to Ford's health care staffing crisis is simple: invest the funds we already have to fix the public system we already have.
Stop taking nurses to court to suppress their wages and work with them to deliver #BetterStaffingBetterCare!

Reminder: Billionaires are not “self-made.” They’re made via a combination of inherited wealth, government subsidies, tax loopholes, labor exploitation, and policy failures.
Can we stop perpetuating a myth that blames the wealth gap on the choices of everyday Americans?
Ford's healthcare bill is just another chapter in his government’s long history of underfunding and decimating our public healthcare system.
The people of Ontario want a healthcare system where every public dollar goes towards patient care – not shareholder profits. #onpoli
Last winter Doug Ford and his Conservative government abandoned the people of Ottawa when they needed their support the most.
To have an entire chapter of the report dedicated to ‘Ontario’s Absence’ is appalling
@fordnation must apologize

Tough words for Ontario Premier Doug Ford and his government over its abandonment of the city of Ottawa in today's Rouleau commission report: https://t.co/NHrDTBY3CR
Ontario’s third quarter fiscal update shows that Ford is deliberately starving health care and education of critical resources.
We are calling on the government to stop this deliberate underspending and invest in services that Ontarians rely on.
Ontario’s third quarter fiscal update shows that Ford is deliberately starving health care & education of critical resources.
@FordNation - stop this underspending, and invest in fixing the healthcare crisis, investing in our schools, & paying public sector workers a fair wage.
QUESTION: Why is there almost NO news on the HUGE scandal involving developer $$ in the #Greenbelt and cash to Cons and cash to daughter of Doug Ford by CP24 and Bell media?
