I live in Northwestern Ontario. Right now, the Boreal forest is burning.

I'm writing this beneath the dark orange plume from the Quetico wildfires.

These are some of the reports coming out as communities fight to survive:

"No fire crews left for new fires."
"We had no warning."
Families are self-evacuating by private boat across lakes because they didn't receive evacuation information. They're fleeing towering flames with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

This is unacceptable in a province as wealthy as Ontario.

I'm calling out Doug Ford. His government has underfunded Ontario's wildfire management capacity by tens of millions of dollars.

@fordnation you want our Ring of Fire, our water, our forests. You want to store nuclear waste in our bedrock and run an oil pipeline through our watersheds.

But you won't work with northern communities. You make decisions for us without us, and then fail to provide the basic public services we PAY FOR and rely on: wildfire protection, health care, education, safe highways and social services.

Northern Ontario deserves better than this feckless leadership.

@SeanMcCarthyCom What the fuck? This kind of thought is sick

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Ford’s government can find $2.2B for a luxury spa, but can’t fix Ontario’s crumbling schools.

- 40% of schools need repairs.
- That’ll hit 75% in 10 years.
- The backlog will balloon to $22B.

Spas, not schools. That’s The Cost of Doug.

These billionaires salivate at the thought of us all killing each other over culture wars while they watch from their luxury bunkers. They fear the thought of us collectively directing our anger towards them in a class war.

@iFightForKids Would be nice if any of you bothered to look into this instead of rage posting

2016: Ontario PC Party creates headlines complaining about $2.4 Million in government ads

2024: Ontario PC Party spends $103.5 Million on government ads (most of them partisan)

[Gabe K @gabeisonearth]

@alanknit Huh? Just because the guy in the video suggests it "might be insider trading" you're going with this? Because this was a year ago and it DIDN'T have to do with insider trading. Ridiculous

[Andrew Boozary MD @drandrewb]

the solution to homelessness is housing for all.

month in hospital: ~$30,000
month in prison: ~$12,000
month in shelter: ~$6,000

month in supportive housing:
$4,000

[Josh Matlow @JoshMatlow]

Doug Ford is wasting $2.2 billion of your money to build a private spa nobody wants while destroying the Science Centre that everyone valued. The Minister of Infrastructure should resign and the Ford government needs to be replaced.

Currently, 1 in 5 inmates in an Ontario jail are released into #homelessness. Functionally, jails are wildly expensive, indecent ad hoc shelter, as the number of people incarcerated for crimes related to survival due to lack of housing is staggering. Build housing, @fordnation.

When I light your candle with mine, I've lost nothing—I still have my light. This is clear to most people. I wish it was just as clear that when we empathize with the pain of others, whoever they may be, we also lose nothing. Empathy doesn't have to be a zero-sum game.

[Yonah Lieberman 🔥 @YonahLieberman]

As a Jewish person, I wish I could spend this week grieving and mourning. But the Israeli government is weaponizing our grief to enact a second Nakba, killing thousands and displacing millions. I can make time to grieve while also working to stop ethnic cleansing.

[Ami Dar @AmiDar]

I am an Israeli Jew. This is probably the worst week of my life. And yet today of all days it bears repeating: the only way to end this cycle is by working for freedom and dignity for all. For all. On all sides, our blood is the same color and our tears taste the same.

BREAKING: Tuesday was the hottest day ever recorded on the planet. Yet no major polluter – not the US, not China, and not India – has created a real plan to phase out fossil fuels.

It is clear that only a global citizen's movement can save the planet.👊⤵️

[How-Sen @HowSenChong]

The city’s climate plan calls for transit to be free. Yet, the TTC is resuming fines.

The fine for evading a $3.10 fare? $425.

How much are you charged when you drive an astounding and incredibly dangerous 40km/h over speed limit?

Just $280.

Musk (@elonmusk) started Tesla with a huge U.S. government welfare grant. He has taken taxpayers to the cleaners for his factories and for Starlink. He is a gigantic corporate welfare king masquerading as a capitalist businessman. -R

We #Toronto need a Mayor who doesn't work for Big Business pt time,
1)finds homes for our homeless
2)fixes Transit
3)supports our Small business, main street over the mall
4)Refunds social services using the bloated police budget
5) fights with Ford for $$ (healthcare/education)

Hey everyone look at the sky it's a balloon *maybe* spying on you. It's definitely CHYNA! Don't mind us waging endless war while you struggle to put food in the table or house yourself and your children. This is NORMAL!
