President Trump hosting racist antisemites for dinner encourages other racist antisemites. These attitudes are immoral and should not be entertained. This is not the Republican Party.

Stu Sells 1824 Halifax Classic Champions!! 🏆

Thank you Halifax, @Stusellsto, and the event organizers for hosting a fantastic event!

Notwithstanding the heroic efforts of hospitals and HCWs, Ontario's pediatric healthcare system is in an unprecedented crisis.

Access to acute/critical care is imperiled, yet crickets from @ongov.

It's shocking that our elected leaders simply aren't showing up for our kids.

And now probably the most important question of the survey:

Ultimately, who do you blame most for schools being closed due to the education worker strike?

The provincial government - 62% (72% - parents of younger kids)
Education workers - 38%

(n=545, Nov 4/5, online)

[Andrew Coyne 🇺🇦🇮🇱🇬🇪🇲🇩 @acoyne]

It has apparently become optional whether a province must respect constitutional guarantees of rights, accept the constitution’s division of powers, or govern according to the constitution that is rather than the one they write themselves.

This is not constitutional government.

[Nick Ragaz @nragaz]

This is absolutely right. And: Education workers and support staff deserve a proper wage increase, not this bullying. I want my kids in school but not at the cost of these workers’ rights. @davesmithptbo

Canadian Civil Liberties Association:

"The notwithstanding clause was never meant to be used in contract negotiations, or as a casual tool to disrupt basic human rights safeguarded in our Charter. This misuse, and the flagrant disregard for individual rights is wrong"

The CBC’s personal finance expert says that to cope with rising housing costs, simply ask your boss for a raise (or get a better-paying job):

Amerie Jo Garza's father, a med aide, says he found out she was one of the victims when he arrived on the scene and was helping another little girl covered in blood. She told him her best friend had been shot. When he asked her name, she said his daughter's. There aren't words.

Thank you to everyone that has reached out to me after yesterday’s incident in Peterborough.

Here are my thoughts and reflections:

[Riverview Park & Zoo @RiverviewZoo]

Some days are more challenging than others. Unfortunately vandals have broken into the train tunnel, damaged our venerable train locomotive & stolen its signature brass bell. If you have info that may lead to the return of the bell, please contact us or Peterborough Police. JM

Kremlin propaganda: "The West is depraved and in terminal decline, just look at all the gays."

Also Kremlin propaganda: "We cannot fully take Mariupol because of all the gays fighting there."

We just met Oksana who was four weeks in her basement: „It felt like Stalingrad.“ When she came out for the first time she saw a destroyed russian tank in her garden.

I know most won’t read past a headline but please read my veto letter—especially if you disagree with me. The veto will be overridden on Friday and then we will have a special session to fix a few things. Trans sports is a terribly difficult issue. Please be kind to everyone. 1/

Borys Romanchenko, 96, survived four Nazi concentration camps: Buchenwald, Peenemünde, Mittelbau-Dora, Bergen-Belsen. He lived his quiet life in Kharkiv until recently. Last Friday a Russian bomb hit his house and killed him. Unspeakable crime. Survived Hitler, murdered by Putin.

Photo 2: Their graves in Irpin, where they lived and were killed on March 5, according to the date on the makeshift crosses.

Before Russia vs after Russia.

“There’s blood everywhere.”
Horrific video of the devastation caused by a direct Russian attack on a hospital maternity ward in besiged Mariupol.
Desperate residents there have been cut off from power, water and heat.
