I now live in Toronto and was not going to comment on the Mayoral race until the Chow campaign turned very negative in the last two weeks. That negativity turned up in my mailbox today. It leads me to share my strong public support for Brad Bradford for many reasons. 1/4
@rdassaly@TheGrindTO@ProsaicPKent is one of the kindest, most genuine people I have ever worked with in politics. His endorsement of any candidate is a +
I'm a journalist. And I happen to be Jewish. On Yom Kippur I went to a synagogue service in Toronto and was met by protesters trying to taunt and intimidate me from entering the building. 1/5
Another violent attack on Jews. A gunman shoots up a synagogue in Belleville. Leaders express their shock and horror. Nothing changes. Canadian Jews deserve to feel safe and protected. Canada is failing them.
"I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you. And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon."
25 years ago, President George W. Bush gave his famous "I can hear you" speech at Ground Zero, just three days after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
With one arm around retired FDNY firefighter Bob Beckwith and a bullhorn in the other, Bush thanked the rescue and recovery workers.
"America today is on bended knee in prayer for the people whose lives were lost here, for the workers who work here, for the families who mourn."
"This nation stands with the good people of New York City, and New Jersey, and Connecticut, as we mourn the loss of thousands of our citizens."
CNBC: Do you believe that Mark Carney was acting in good faith in those negotiations — one of the things you kept hearing from the Trump administration and Howard Lutnick was that he was not?
Pierre Poilievre: I'm not gonna attack my prime minister on foreign soil.
For the first time in Highmark Stadium history, we will celebrate the American and Canadian anthems during pregame.
We can’t wait to have Bills fan Auliʻi Cravalho and @barenakedladies at our home opener!
Hard to believe it's been 15 years since we lost my dad. His determination to build a better world and the hope he brought to all aspects of his life, political and personal, will always inspire me.
Conservatives are disappointed that the United States has chosen to impose further unjustified tariffs on Canada. They threaten the jobs and livelihoods of families right across our country.
Canadians must stand united to defend our country against these unfair attacks on our jobs and businesses. Canada cannot accept one-sided tariffs that will deindustrialize our country. Nor can we accept a bad deal. Instead, we must continue the fight for tariff-free trade. Later today, I will seek a call with the Prime Minister to discuss what we can do to fight for our workers, businesses, and economy. Conservatives will always put our country first.
Conservatives support action to protect Canadians and our industries targeted by these unfair U.S. tariffs.
We also need urgent economic reforms to restore growth, protect jobs and save our industry. That must include ending the industrial carbon tax, repealing anti-development laws, green lighting the 500 economic projects awaiting federal approval and major tax reforms to return investment to our country, reward work, and recharge our economy.
All Canadians must stand united for our workers, our businesses and our country.
When addiction becomes so severe that someone can no longer make important life decisions on their own and is at serious risk of harm, compassion means getting them the help they need.
We can start by taking three important steps:
✅ Call on the province to introduce a mandatory treatment law for the most severe cases
✅ Fight for Toronto's full share of new residential treatment, withdrawal management and supportive housing beds
✅ Commit to at least 100 recovery house beds in Toronto
We cannot declare ourselves out of a 72-day wait for treatment. We need to act today to build the resources our city needs.
That's how we help people get better, and that's how we give parks back to families and make our city feel safe again.
