@karenmccrimmon ‘Moved on’ doesn’t erase accountability. Ontarians are still watching devastation in healthcare, education and to public assets. We’ve never seen the mandates or phone records. People want answers, not deflection.
Today, when I pressed the Premier about changes to FOI laws, he had no answers. Instead of explaining to Ontarians why he believes he should be exempt from accountability, he resorted to a personal attack. That response makes one thing clear: our work is having an impact.
FOIs exposed the Greenbelt scandal.
FOIs exposed shady dealings behind the luxury spa in downtown Toronto.
FOIs put Doug Ford under RCMP investigation.
Now he's changing the law so it can never happen again.
What is he hiding on his phone? Is it criminal?

You want to calculate what Ukraine “costs”?
Fine. Let’s calculate what the guarantors of the Budapest Memorandum owe Ukraine.
People who complain about “how much the West spends on Ukraine” forget one thing:
Ukraine has already paid the highest possible price for promises that were never fulfilled.
⸻
1. What Ukraine gave up under the Budapest Memorandum
Ukraine surrendered the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal:
• 1,900 strategic nuclear warheads
• 176 ICBMs
• 44 Tu-160 / Tu-95MS strategic bombers
• Full launch, storage, and command infrastructure
Current value: $2–4 trillion.
Yes — trillion.
Ukraine traded this arsenal for security guarantees from the US, UK, and Russia.
Guarantees that cracked in 2014 and completely collapsed in 2022.
⸻
2. How much the US has spent on Ukraine
In 11 years of war, the total US support amounts to:
$80–90 billion.
For comparison:
Ukraine gave up a nuclear deterrent worth 30–50 times more.
⸻
3. How US support has been restricted
For years, Ukraine was denied critical tools needed for survival:
• ATACMS long-range missiles
• F-16 fighter jets
• Adequate Patriot air-defense systems
• Permission to strike inside Russia (only partially allowed in 2024–25)
These delays cost thousands of Ukrainian lives and entire cities that could have been saved.
⸻
4. The real cost of war for Ukraine
In 11 years:
• 450,000+ killed and wounded
• Over 50% of energy infrastructure destroyed
• Trillion-dollar economic losses
• Factories, investments, and human capital wiped out
• A development trajectory comparable to Poland’s — shattered not only by Russian missiles but also by Western hesitation
⸻
5. So who really owes whom?
Ukraine never asked for charity.
Ukraine asked its guarantors to honor their own signatures.
While the US and UK insisted the Budapest Memorandum “was not binding,” Russia prepared for a full-scale invasion.
Today, Ukraine is defending:
• NATO’s entire eastern flank
• Europe’s energy routes
• The Black Sea
• The global security system the United States built after WWII
Ukraine is presenting the real bill: for cities erased, for millions of lives broken, for decades of development stolen — and for the security guarantees that existed only on paper.
And that bill is not for Ukraine to pay. It is for those who promised protection — and failed to deliver it.

BREAKING: Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk sends a shiver down Trump's spine by announcing "Investigation Team No. 5" — a powerful task force designed to investigate the Epstein scandal.
Since the MAGA Justice Department won't take action, the rest of the world is stepping up...
“We cannot allow that any of the cases involving abuse of Polish children by the network of pedophiles and the organizer of this satanic circle, Mr. Epstein, be treated lightly,” stated Tusk.
The announcement from Tusk, a conservative, comes as the Trump administration refuses to even acknowledge that Epstein was running a child trafficking network. At this point, it's an undeniable fact of the case, clearly laid out in the documents. But Trump — who is accused of sexual abuse and rape in the files — won't acknowledge that reality because doing so would increase the pressure for a full investigation. He's desperately hoping that this entire scandal will just evaporate into thin air. Poland is making sure that doesn't happen.
Tusk said that the possibility of Polish victims gives their government the authority to dig through the 3 million pages of documents, images, and videos released so far. He pointed specifically to a group of individuals from the Polish city of Krakow who informed Epstein that they had "women or girls" for him, a clear indication that Poland was a nexus for Epstein's network.
"There are more such leads,” said Tusk.
Investigation Team No. 5 will now proceed with preliminary inquiries into "an organized criminal group of an international nature." This is an incredibly welcome development and exactly the kind of police work that the United States federal government should be conducting. Every single person in the Epstein files should be questioned. Once authorities start pulling on these threads, more leads and evidence could come tumbling out.
The Polish task force is composed of three highly experienced prosecutors, denoting a high level of priority for the government. Once they conclude their preliminary probe, a decision will be made on opening a full-blown criminal investigation.
On top of that, the Polish Justice Ministry announced a separate task force led by Justice Minister Waldemar Zurek to review the Epstein files, synthesize the data, and present the relevant parts to the Polish public.
“It is our duty to provide a reliable and impartial explanation of all Polish aspects in the so-called Epstein affair,” said Zurek. "The Polish state must check whether crimes have taken place on the territory of the Republic of Poland and whether Polish citizens were involved in the case."
They will also request access to all of the classified materials currently being held by the American government.
This is exactly what people have been screaming in vain for the Trump administration to do. Finally, the world is taking a major step towards justice.
Please ❤️ and share to thank Poland!

This was called a terrorist attack a little over 24 years ago. The United States invoked Article 5, and every ally, including Ukraine, showed up to fight an American war without hesitation.
Now the same thing is happening in Ukraine. Russian drones are deliberately flown into high rise apartment buildings, and suddenly it is dismissed. “Not our war.” “Go pick up a rifle if you care.” “You support Ukronazis.” The moral clarity evaporates the moment Americans are not the ones being bombed.
