So Doug is correct when he says he still would win a majority if the election was called today. Let that sink in @MaritStiles

why not just give the PM an allowance for residence.

CBC News: Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to announce a plan to restore 24 Sussex Drive that includes a national fundraising campaign through the Rideau Hall Foundation and a design competition open to Canadian companies, according to a senior government source.

🔹Carney's plan would launch a design competition allowing Canadian companies to propose how to make 24 Sussex a suitable official residence again, with the winning firm chosen to both design and build the project — and a decision expected by July 1, 2027.

🔹To reduce the burden on taxpayers, the Rideau Hall Foundation — a non-partisan national charity originally established by former Governor General David Johnston in 2017 — would run a fundraising campaign across Canada to help cover costs.

🔹An independent advisory panel is also expected to be created to evaluate the competing proposals, the source said.

🔹The heritage building has sat vacant for nearly a decade after successive prime ministers declined to spend the tens of millions required to renovate it — and was gutted in recent years to remove mould, asbestos and rodents.

🔹Carney said in April he does not expect to live at 24 Sussex himself but wants future prime ministers to be able to: "I think it's a responsibility to hand off things better than you found them. And certainly the current state of 24 Sussex couldn't be any worse. It's an embarrassment."

🔹Officials estimated in 2025 that restoration, relocation or renovation options could range from tens of millions to over $100 million — and advocates have long called for future decisions about the residence to be removed from political hands entirely to prevent the decades-long cycle of neglect from repeating.

Tim Dillon perfectly encapsulates the righteous indignation of the people in Northern Ireland who rioted after a Sudanese migrant tried to behead a man in their streets.

DILLON: “We never got a vote on this.”

“We never got a vote on bringing the people in. We never got a vote on that.”

“No one ever asked us how much demographic change we wanted in our country and how quickly.”

“And what we were prepared to do, no one ever asked that.”

I’ve probably spoken to over a hundred people with non-partisan expertise in different policy areas over the last few months, as I’ve been developing my platform for Ontario Liberal leader.

So many conversations go like this:

“This is a really good and necessary idea, but you’re brave for committing to it”

“Why?”

“Because it’s going to be controversial for xyz interest group”

“Ok, you’re confident it will help us get better outcomes?”

“Yes, absolutely. We will eventually have to do this. But think about if it’s really a fight you want to have”.

Well, it is.

It shocks me how many pariahs we’ve made in our politics. We have made the Overton window of allowable debate far too small.

And that means our political discourse is often limited to solutions that won’t address our systemic challenges.

I’m not running to lead the Ontario Liberal Party at 32 because I want to do politics the typical way.

Politics is full of people who waited their turn, and learned the coached language of “acceptable” discourse.

It is not full of people willing to tell the truth about why the province stopped working for so many of us.

I’m very excited to share more in the weeks ahead!

She is correct but might want to take her own advise and stop portraying an annoying feminist. She is literally seting up the liberals for next election.

NDP Leader Marit Stiles says Premier Doug Ford “should learn a lesson” from low approval numbers.

“People are seeing what he is doing, they know that he decided to prioritize buying a private luxury jet over OSAP, that he decided to vote against measures that would take the tax off groceries or make life more affordable, they see it every day.”

I want to know who he thinks it was worth it for.

@avilewis @Dock_Currie It was to “liberate” Iranians from “tyranny,” remember?

Olivia Chow's campaign is run by people who advocate for the IRGC. Which, coincidentally, we now know has been paying people to shoot up Toronto synagogues.

It is unbelievable, this story. Had this happened anywhere else, it would be very big news.

I’ve been following the debate around Bill C-22, Bill C-34, and Bill C-36.

Together, they touch on lawful access to digital information, online safety for children, the social media ban for kids under 16, AI chatbots, privacy, and consumer data rights.

Parents (and most people) are right to be concerned about the harm smartphones and social media are doing to children.

But I worry we are moving too quickly toward the wrong architecture and using this as cover.

The bills here give the government significant new powers over digital life before we have properly debated what freedoms we should have.

I would rather consider something as blunt as prohibiting physical smartphones for children under 16, while allowing simple phones for calls and texts, than rush into legislation with such massive implications.

A physical smartphone ban for minors can be debated, tested, changed, or reversed. A surveillance architecture is much harder to unwind once it exists.

I am also concerned by how much of the real substance will be decided after Parliament votes.

We should not be giving unelected regulators broad discretion over privacy, speech, encryption, digital identity, private conversation, and what counts as harmful content.

Those choices should be made by legislature following real debate. This matters even more as AI becomes more powerful and governments begin using it.

It may be used tomorrow in ways we do not yet understand.

Before we redesign digital rights, Canadians deserve a much deeper debate:

1. Do citizens own their personal data?

2. Should they be compensated when others profit from it?

3. Do they have a right to strong encryption?

4. Do they have a right to conversations that remain truly private?

5. What protections should exist when AI systems can increasingly analyze, predict, and influence human behaviour?

6. Do we have the right to erasure? Or to opt out entirely?

7. How much burden should be placed on technology businesses to comply?

I don’t like many of the answers these bills offer. Hence, a simpler solution. Protect children directly, let them have simple phones for now.

Then take the time to get the rest right.

Our federal government is doing Canadians a disservice by rushing legislation this consequential without having serious public debate.
