On the last day of winter, here's a little poem I wrote to celebrate Canada's winter! @CanadianPoets

[Peter Tabuns @petertabuns.bsky.social @Peter_Tabuns]

Ford’s good friend JP Morgan bank not only pushing jets on Toronto’s waterfront but leading funder of climate destroying fossil fuel expansion. His kind of bank. https://t.co/qN9Oe3Uoea

[David Fisman @DFisman]

Let the feds know what you think of the ill-conceived proposal to bring jets and runway expansion to toronto‘s island airport

Nobody voted for this, @MarkJCarney @juliedabrusin

[Chris Glover @chrisglover]

Ford's latest attack on democratic transparency:
When people have disputes they go to tribunals for hearings—the Condo Authority, the Land Appeal Tribunal, the Landlord Tenant Board, etc. 

The appointed adjudicators need to be fair and non-partisan, but Ford is appointing Conservative donors for these jobs.

Now he will not allow opposition MPPs to question his appointees in committee.

NEW: As 70% of Ontarians say it’s time for a change in government at Queen’s Park, Premier Doug Ford calls a five-month timeout.

Lets put things into context:
-Closing OSC = 219 people out of work.
-Breaking The Beer Store contract = 3,000 jobs lost, $612 million contract penalty, $1.4B lost tax revenue
-Failed Green Space development losses $8.3 billion
-Ontario Place costs - $2.2 billion over budget.

The Trumps and and the Rothschilds are trying to set up a new Epstein island in Albania

[Corruptario @corruptario]

Reading about what the Kushners have planned for Sazan Island, notice that the Ford government has now seized all this, including coastlines, islands, and an airport.

Ontario Place, airport, the islands, Exhibition Place, convention centre (Front Street from Union to CN Tower)

#GENERALSTRIKE This prick OUT ! Save Ontario !

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

It is Albanians, not Americans, who are protesting against American corruption.
The US appears to have accepted the corruption of the Trump family, so we Americans have to rely upon the sound anti-corruption sentiments of others.
Truly embarrassing, but thank you, Albania!

[Tom Parkin @TomPark1n]

Official complaints filed with lobbying commissioners about lobbyists working to supersize the island airport

They didn’t disclose that US bank JP Morgan controls and directs them, as required

Is there any penalty? https://t.co/sU3UcdAx2x

[Sulaiman Ahmed @ShaykhSulaiman]

JUST IN: ALBANIANS CALL FOR PM EDI RAMA TO RESIGN AFTER STRIKING DEAL WITH JARED KUSHNER FOR PROTECTED COASTLINE

“Albania is not for sale. Albania belongs to the Albanian people, and we decide what we want to do here.

It's not that some corrupted politicians can decide what they can do with our property.

He's trying to trade our country as a personal property of him and his family and his collaborators.

We want him to resign.”

[LACont @LCptbo]

Dear @MarkJCarney the decision has already been made by the people of Toronto and Ontario! NO. If you still expand this airport for jets and collude with Ford and American investors, your government is toast. The answer is a hard NO! Pearson is expanding. Expand the UP Express!

[Investigative Journalism Foundation @IJFMedia]

The NDP is taking aim at the federal government after the IJF revealed it spent tens of millions on a secret contract with controversial tech company Palantir.

Keep the pressure up!!!

Carney's support for Billy Bishop expansion is softening.

He's gone from calling it "an interesting idea" to promising "consultation".

But "consultation" when Ford is forging ahead is bogus.

We need Carney to stop the expansion.

Me entero con mucho dolor que @raulpacheco, compa de @FlacsoMx no murió, lo asesinaron.

La culpa no fue suya, ni dónde andaba ni de su orientación sexual.
Justicia para @raulpacheco
Justicia para todas las víctimas de violencia en #México, el país cementerio

Was this acceptable, @SpeakerSkelly?

[TDot Resident @TDotResident]

Flashback: when discussing Therme, Doug Ford said multiple times: "there is no public money in this deal"

This was completely false. We are spending billions to make the Therme spa happen.

[Tina Yazdani @TinaYazdani]

NEW: the Ford govt has moved to cancel all summer meetings of the committee that vets PC appointments to provincial boards & agencies.

The move came after opposition MPPs questioned two nominees who had donated a combined $13K to the PCs.

Full story w/ @steve_cornwell to come.
