#GrassyNarrows grassroots brought their demands of fair compensation and shutting down the Dryden mill to #FordFest@fordnation left the event early instead of taking accountability and action

What you saw last night was not manufactured. It was not planned. It was not scripted.
It was an organic Buffalo moment.
We were in a local pub watching the game like everybody else, and when they cut the anthem short, the whole bar got quiet. Just like KeyBank Center got quiet.
Then slowly, you could hear it…
“Our home and native land…”
And then Sabres fans took over.
What was crazy is that we started singing it in the bar too. Then it got louder. Not because anyone told us to. Not because it was some big political statement. It just happened.
That is what people outside of here don’t understand.
Western New York and the Golden Horseshoe grew up together. We are border people. We grew up watching Canadian TV, Mr. Dressup, The Hilarious House of Frightenstein, going across the bridge like it was nothing, partying in Canada, and Canadians coming over here after their bars closed.
We never really felt like strangers.
Something has changed over the years. The world got colder. The border started feeling bigger. People started acting like we are supposed to hate each other.
But last night, Buffalo showed the world who we really are.
We are the City of No Illusions.
A building full of Americans finished the Canadian national anthem without pause, without instructions, without a script.
Just respect.
Just instinct.
Just hockey.
Just neighbors.
That was real.
You will almost never see a moment like that again, and maybe we should learn something from it.
One team. Two nations. United by the game, the border, the memories, and the simple truth that we were never supposed to be enemies.
That was Buffalo.
And that was beautiful.
If you fight fires in a city, Canada calls you a firefighter. If you fight fires in a forest, it doesn't. One line in a classification document keeps wildland/forest firefighters from the same benefits as their urban counterparts. Tell your MP to fix it: https://t.co/MNB147wCMt
Critics are accusing the Ford government of flooding the zone: making a wave of announcements to overwhelm the media, confuse the public & exhaust political opponents.
They say the premier is trying to distract after changing access laws to keep his cellphone records secret.
Congratulations to @JPHornick re-elected President of OPSEU/SEFPO and @LNancekivell
re-elected Vice-President/Treasurer at #OPSEUConvention2026 this week!
Proud to stand alongside you both as we fight for workers, strong public services people can rely on, and a fair society.
1 in every 100 Ontarians is an OPSEU/SEFPO member. We are in every town, every city – and unified, we will fight like hell to protect the heart of this province.
Public services are here to stay, as are the workers fighting for them – and we’ll be here long after Ford is gone.
Hey Jill, do you know what would really help workers, retailers & families?
Zero tolerance for violence in the workplace.
I hear from workers in grocery stores, beer stores, LCBO,etc - violence is out of control. But sure take away their stat day w/ their families
@OFLabour
Speaking of taxpayer money - where has it all gone? $36+ billion and counting in mismanagement under this government.
Imagine the kind of Ontario we could build. #ONPoli

My guy, if you’re worried about the mismanagement of taxpayer money, might I suggest a mirror?
And while we’re at it, you’re right. We do have the biggest “gang” on our side: the working people of Ontario. & they’re not happy with your govt. You’re right to be scared. 🗳️#ONPoli
@JPHornick OPSEU/SEFPO has repeatedly called for an end to CBS’s partnership with Grifols, calling it an ethical violation of CBS’s duty to safeguard the public, voluntary blood system and donor base. More info: https://t.co/OtrDzLwi1N
When will he develop this sense of urgency for things like family doctors, community colleges, or reversing the punishing OSAP changes?
He wants us fighting a symbolic culture war so we don’t notice the economic one he’s waging against everyday Ontarians. #ONPoli
