Lecce tells Amanda Lang Ont. will produce uranium fuel for SMR reactors. It's NOT true. Ask AI. "No, Ont. does not have the capability to produce the enriched uranium fuel assemblies required for light-water Small Modular Reactors." Lecce is conning us.

Side by side right now:

US inflation: 3.5% | Canada: 2.8%
US core inflation: 2.6% | Canada core: under 2%, lowest in 5+ years

US 30-year mortgage: 6.6%+ | Canada 5-year fixed: around 4.2%

US Fed rate: 3.5-3.75%, on hold amid inflation worries
BoC rate: 2.25%, held for six straight meetings

US Q2 GDP growth: 1.5%, a slowdown and a miss
Canada Q2 GDP: tracking closer to 2.5% (preliminary)

Not saying Canada’s economy is perfect, unemployment here is still higher than the US’s. But on the numbers that hit household budgets and borrowing costs, Canada is clearly ahead right now.

I've never read something so heartbreaking from the #YMCA org in my life, and I've been involved with them since I was a baby. This message should send shudders down your spine and protests into the streets. Social murder of the most vulnerable through addictions vilifications and treatment denial.

"Today, with grief, we announce the closure of #YWCA #Hamilton's Safer Use Space.

For the past five years, this program has been a place of safety, dignity, and connection. Dedicated staff and partners have saved lives, responding to drug poisonings, connected people to housing and health care, and ensured that women and gender-diverse people had somewhere to turn without judgment.

This closure is not a reflection of the need. The need has never been greater.
While our Safer Use Space has closed, YWCA Hamilton remains committed to supporting women and gender-diverse people through housing, shelter, outreach, health, emergency treatment, counselling, and other essential services.

We will continue to advocate for evidence-informed solutions to the toxic drug crisis that save lives and build healthier communities for everyone.

No business case for high-speed rail? Have you ever been outside Canada in the last 60 years? Go tell Japan there's no business case for HSR and they'll laugh at you before stepping on the Shinkansen to jump from Tokyo to Kyoto.

#DougFord has earned millions while #Ontario goes bankrupt and artists spraypaint him in alleys, seeking justice for those he has socially murderered. We cannot afford Doug Ford. #onpoli

[Mitchell Tremblay @ODSPoor]

The biggest bigot in #Ontario is #DougFord, not only is he a racist old white man but he hates the poor, he hates the orderly, he hates the left, he hates teaches, he hates nurses, he hates the disabled, and he hates independent women.

@rellim_evad @ghost_gurney @fordnation Being worse than Mike Harris is really sinking to the pits of hell but @fordnation managed to accomplish this.

A 45-minute flight to Kingston.

A planned flight to London.

Here’s how Premier Doug Ford has been skipping the 401 commute and flying to announcements in Ontario instead.

All billed to taxpayers.

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

[The Yeti of Kananaskis @kananaskinyeti]

The more unequal a society is the less efficient it becomes. It takes a lot of resources to maintain that disparity. We are ripping through resources and trashing the planet primarily to keep people down. We can easily make everyone comfortable, we can never satisfy greed.

Some pretty pissed off MPPs, incoming.

The beginning of the end for Doug Ford.

[Tina Yazdani @TinaYazdani]

NEW: As Ontario barrels through what is projected to be its worst wildfire season on record, the union representing wildland firefighters says the province is 34 crews short of its approved wildfire crew complement.

The Ford government disputes the claim, saying there is no crew target to meet.

Ontarians just paid $140 000 for the MPP From NORTH BAY to go to the Uk for 3 F'CKING DAYS! You can BET we paid for more than the flights. Here's his "mission" details:

[Lise Vaugeois @LiseVaugeois]

If the province had truly been ready for this year's fire season, we would not have lost two entire FN's communities, as well as homes and major businesses in unorganized townships. Never before in Ontario has there been this level of destruction - a massive failure to prepare.
