@RuPaul My friend told me his allergy medication is Rupall. So wondering about doing an ad: “Honey, if your allergies are a drag, you need to get Rupall baby!” Looking forward to that ad! Hope you consider it 😍

Hey @fordnation you don’t get to tell us what we are concerned about. I’ll tell you: your corrupt government plunging Ontario into largest subnational debt in the world. This may not worry your Gravy Glass rich pals but it harms the rest of us and our children’s children.#Onpoli

[Edward Row 𓃡 @edwardrow]

feels like Ontario at large needs a reminder that the majority of people did not vote for Ford and he isn’t popular despite our system allocating him all the power because I feel like we collectively should be doing something about this

[Dr. Adil Shamji 🇨🇦 @ShamjiAdil]

Will the President of the Treasury Board please just answer a question?

@c_mulroney refused to respond even once after being asked repeatedly why she approved the purchase of @fordnation’s private luxury jet.

Why did she sign off, and when will she turn over the receipts?

[The Pearson Project @ProjectPearson]

In our opinion there is abundant evidence even in the public domain to charge Doug Ford with crimes, put him on trial and let the justice system take its course

Whether he ends up in prison is not for any of us to say. Charge him, put him on trial and let's see what happens

Rep. Jamie Raskin’s investigation revealed that 23 of the top 25 buyers who bought VIP access to Trump through his crypto scheme were likely foreign nationals. The regime wants to hide this. Help us expose the truth: https://t.co/CfFsoUOuxD

Elon Musk’s DOGE “blatantly used” race, gender and other protected characteristics to execute the largest mass termination of federal grants in the history of the National Endowment for the Humanities, a federal judge ruled on Thursday. https://t.co/hwzwfkkLBS

Doug Ford gave Honda $2.5 billion of your tax dollars.

Now Honda is halting production and 1,000 jobs could be gone.

Did Ford attach any conditions to that money? Any strings? Any accountability? No.

Education funding cuts are having consequences for students and families, including the loss of school to work programs for students with disabilities.
We are ready to work on real solutions that support Ontario students, families, teachers, and education workers.

BREAKING: The Ford gov't scheduled a midnight debate to ram through Bill 100, which lets them appoint our Region’s chair who will be able to overrule Niagara's elected mayors.

It's not right. We stopped the power grab on forced amalgamation. Now we have to stop this one too.

It's time for Prime Minister Carney and Health Minister Michel to show some guts and stand up for the Canada Health Act. Butting ahead in line and jumping the queue because you're wealthy isn't the Canadian way. Thank you MP Don Davies. @DonDavies @MarjoriePLC @MarkJCarney

Watch. Tina Yazdani reported TDSB (while under Calandra's appointed supervisor) is actively fighting a city policy meant to protect school lands from mid-rise development.

[Tyler Watt 🇨🇦 @tylerwatt]

Sad day for public education with the passing of Bill 101.

Education workers and support staff, such as custodians, deserve respect and to be heard. Instead, this bill centralizes more power in the hands of the Education Minister while doing little to actually improve student success.

Ontario students, parents, and education workers deserve better. #onpoli #onted @osstf @ETFOeducators @OECTAProv @AEFO_ON_CA

NEW: Metrolinx has settled a major expropriation dispute with a development group tied to a close friend of Premier Ford, but won’t say how much taxpayers paid.
