“When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men… but when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your father who is unseen.” Matthew 6:5-8 #NeverVoteConservative #Cdnpoli

Scoop from @TinaYazdani. Angus Reid has sent a legal letter to Doug Ford & wants the “public record corrected” after Ford called Angus Reid poll fake after showing Ford's approval rating at 21%, an eight-year low, & least popular Premier in Canada.

Avi Lewis: The government of Canada just can't seem to summon the moral clarity and resolve to criticize both the government of Israel and take meaningful measures to intervene in an ongoing genocide and speak up against groups that are providing political cover for it.

Imagine how many ER nurses you could hire for the amount the Ontario government is using to defacto run a partisan campaign while they have a majority government for the foreseeable future. They spend our money on dumb stuff that doesn't matter. @TinaYazdani

It was illegal.

Ford used the notwithstanding clause to make it legal.

Allegedly, Ford's regime a "lawless special economic zone" with Lecce's "environment slaughterfest bill 5" where provincial, municipal & FOI laws don't apply as Global News found over 3 years, Ford’s cabinet minister vehicles received over $3,300 in fines from speed cameras.

Our natural and cultural heritage — whether it's the waterfront, or irreplaceable cultural artifacts — are not for sale. But @fordnation, for all of his masquerading as "Captain Canada," treats everything that makes Toronto and Ontario distinct and beautiful as an asset to sell.

The gas plants scandal was tied to $230M in cancellations... Doug Ford has blown over 2 gas plants worth of taxpayer dollars on his self-promoting ads.

[Tina Yazdani @TinaYazdani]

UPDATE: Opposition wins this round at Queen’s Park. The committee that vets Ford government appointees will keep meeting over the summer months.

The PCs had tried to cancel the meetings. House Speaker Donna Skelly ruled against their efforts to shut them down. #onpoli

[Tina Yazdani @TinaYazdani]

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.

Dear @fordnation,

Prove it: Call an election.

Sincerely,

The idea Billy Bishop should become a regional hub is a complete joke.

Security literally only handles a single person at a time.

I challenge the government to try and show a business case.

As @chrisglover says nobody will loan $5B to a business making $17M.

[Tina Yazdani @TinaYazdani]

Watch: Premier Doug Ford calls a new Angus Reid poll showing his approval rating at an eight-year low “fake.”

He claims it over-sampled Liberal & NDP voters and says internal polling suggests his government would still win a “massive majority” if an election were held today.

Zionist influence is pervasive in Canadian politics.
All mainstream Jewish organizations in Canada are actively involved with the World Zionist Organization.
So, even though it directly violates Canada's official policy regarding stolen land in the West Bank, it had to be removed from a list of organizations to be sanctioned by the Canadian government to preserve the myth that Zionism itself is benign and only the right-wing settlers are a problem.

$1 billion dollars.

That’s how much money the Ford government is giving to private companies to run our public services and social agencies.

These services are facing worker layoffs and cuts. Where is the money going?

This is the exact question I’ve asked Ontario’s Auditor General to look into.

Look closely at this photo @VancityReynolds posted, and you’ll see the massive dirt piles of the West Island of Ontario Place.

Doug Ford destroyed a beautiful, bustling, waterfront park and animal habitat, all in service of a European MegaSpa company.

[Corruptario @corruptario]

Not unusual, politicians & staffers roll over to influence peddling immediately. Being elected, or a staffer, is an entry level position into the real $$.

Ford chief of staff, Pat Sackville, owned a lobby shop at the same time, lobbying his govt.

We don't talk about it enough.

[P.b.Freire @Freire1Pb]

Bloated serial grifter Doug Ford wearing least popular Premier poll billed Ontarians $1 billion for Ontario Science Centre at Ontario Place as Tina Yazdani cites:
➡️Engineers-OSC didn't have close
➡️Schools with OSC roof remained open
➡️OSC repairs < $40M

$200 million on a parking garage on Toronto’s waterfront will not age well. Just like funnelling cars into the core has not aged well.

By the early 2030s, Exhibition Place will have one of the best transit connections in the country, with subway service to downtown, the east end, links into the entire GO rail network, and the waterfront streetcar network.

It’s designed to be a major hub.

Scotiabank Arena is a regional destination on GO Transit, and revellers arrive by walking, cycling and taking transit. They get to the Rogers Centre the same way. The only reason this works is because our streets on game days are a sea of people, rather than a sea of cars.

That’s not an accident. It’s the result of good urban planning.

So why are we spending a small fortune to create a traffic mess at Exhibition Place, when the overwhelming majority of people will still arrive by transit?

When we invest in transit, people take transit. When we invest in parking, we get more traffic.

[Diana Chan McNally @DianaCMcNally]

I have delivered the petition to MP Bardeesy in Ottawa.

We need our MP to stand up for his constituents and stop the expansion of Billy Bishop airport!
