LISTEN UP ONTARIO:
Something big is happening in Ontario, and almost no one is talking about it.
Premier Ford has quietly passed a law that opens the door to water privatization across Ontario - and he's hoping you won't notice.
The Water and Wastewater Public
Corporations Act lets the government seize your local water system and hand it over to a for-profit corporation without your consent.
History is clear: when for-profit corporations control our water systems, the results are disastrous:
Bigger bills!
Bad service!
Dirty water!
Water is a human right not a commodity. It's not too late to stop this.
& Tell Premier Ford our water is NOT for sale. Take action now!
The debate over Billy Bishop Airport isn't just about jets vs. noise, it's about future of Toronto’s waterfront. For many, the harbour is cottage country. Do we take that away for increased flights? Or continue to restore the connection to Lake Ontario? https://t.co/uqOx1oVRsR
⚡️ Budapest has reached an agreement with Kyiv on the rights of the Hungarian minority in Ukraine.
This opens the way for Ukraine’s EU accession. Hungary will no longer block it.
Marit Stiles on the Ontario Legislature rising for 5-month break: "We've had an extremely short session. 29.5 days, less than a month that the House has been sitting since January 1st ... there's really important work that needs to be done, it's outrageous."
How much of the $1.6 Billion in PPE that Doug Ford bought and left sitting in a warehouse was from his buddies? Remember, the biggest PPE contract of all was for his Deco Labels customer Apollo Health & Beauty:
If you’re genuinely afraid of the WEF or the WHO, I need you to understand something, you’re a sucker, and you’ve been tricked into fearing a conference and a committee.
The WEF is Davos. It’s a ski resort in Switzerland where billionaires and politicians eat expensive food, take photos together, and agree that inequality is bad actually. It produces no laws. It has no army. It cannot make you do anything. Klaus Schwab is not your supervillain. He’s an 86 year old German academic who writes books nobody buys and hosts a yearly networking event for people who are already powerful enough to not need the networking.
The WHO is 194 member countries occasionally agreeing on health guidelines that those same countries then ignore whenever it’s politically inconvenient. It is chronically underfunded, routinely overruled, and has less enforcement power than your municipal bylaw office.
These are not hidden rulers of the world. They are PowerPoint presentations with a budget.
The people who have you scared of these organizations do not want you asking where your actual problems come from. They don’t want you looking at your own provincial government, your own city council, your own grocery chain, your own landlord. It’s a lot easier to fear a Swiss ski resort than to engage with something you can actually do something about.
You got played. It happens. But you should probably know.
Fun Fact: In the House of Commons, cleaning staff (and all other Parliamentary employees, contractors, and volunteers) are required to undergo and clear a strict security screening process before they can work in the Parliamentary Precinct.

@OlenaRohoza@AbGamble1 No thanks, noone in their bright mind wants to go bankrupt because of medical bills or to be shot at while taking a walk at midnight. ❤️🇨🇦
A powerful wave of unity is sweeping Alberta. The response to #ForeverCanadian lawn signs has been phenomenal—thousands of signs now stand tall in across the province. Volunteers are organizing pop-ups to help distribute! #ableg#abpoli#cdnpoli@LukaszukAB@ForCanMVMT
The Scarborough Bluffs West shoreline is one of Toronto’s most iconic shorelines.
We are working with the @TRCA_HQ to look at ways to protect the shoreline, care for sensitive natural spaces, and improve access and enjoyment along the waterfront between the Eastern Beaches (Silver Birch Avenue) and Bluffer’s Park on Lake Ontario.
You can share your thoughts by joining a drop in public meeting on June 1, watching the online overview video, or filling out a short online survey. We will accept comments until June 30.
