Education critics are accusing the Ford government of “accounting tricks instead of real investments,” after we reported the majority of the promised 1% boost to core education funding isn’t new money.

About 74% of the increase is money shifted from existing education programs.

We are learning in real time the horror show closing safe injection sites has caused!!! People ODing on sidewalks in parks, public. EMS calls are at 2056 right now and in the same time period last year they were 958!!!! There’s a reason why we listen to experts and not columnists

The Globe’s Billy Bishop editorial reduced Toronto’s harbour to “some impact on boats.” No one has published how much lake gets filled in, so I did the math & came up with 60,000 truckloads for a project currently illegal under its own governing agreement

@dannychau What a hopeful read.

Zlatan Ibrahimović on Canada qualifying for the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 for the first time ever:

🗣️ “This is why people fall in love with football. Today wasn't just about Canada qualifying for the Round of 16 it was about an entire nation creating history that nobody can ever take away.”

“I looked at the faces of the Canadian players after the final whistle. Some were crying, some couldn't believe what had just happened. Those weren't tears of weakness; they were tears of people who had spent their whole lives dreaming of this exact moment.”

“To the supporters, never let anyone tell you football is just a game. I saw families celebrating, children hugging their parents and fans singing with tears in their eyes. These are the moments that unite a country forever.”

“People will remember the goals and the result, but they'll never understand the sacrifices behind it. Years of criticism, disappointments, injuries and pressure have all led to one unforgettable night. That's what makes history so beautiful.”

“For every Canadian player wearing that shirt tonight, remember this feeling. You are no longer just footballers you are the generation that changed your country's football story forever. Every child who picks up a ball tomorrow will believe because of what you achieved today.”

“The knockout stage doesn't care about history, reputation or big names. It rewards courage, belief and those who refuse to give up. Canada earned this moment because they never stopped believing when the rest of the world doubted them.”

“And to the fans, celebrate like there's no tomorrow because nights like these don't come often. Years from now, people won't ask where you watched the match they'll ask how it felt to witness the night Canada reached the Round of 16 for the very first time.”

“This is bigger than football. This is the night an entire nation stopped dreaming about history and started living it.”

The UN couldn't print the names of Palestinian children murdered and maimed by Israel.

Why?

Because they feared Israel would respond by killing and maiming the families of the children.

The Earth just experienced FOUR significant earthquakes in a single day.

First, it was a Magnitude 5.6 in California’s Redwood Valley.

Then, 7 hours later, a devastating “double” quake inflicted massive destruction in northern Venezuela. The first one at Magnitude 7.2, followed by an even larger Magnitude 7.5 only 39 SECONDS later.

Finally, a mere 25 minutes after the Venezuela twins, a Magnitude 6.9 marine earthquake struck offshore of Kuji, Japan.

Very rare to see this much seismic activity across the globe in such a short period of time.

Here is our fearless leader @jessiecatherine talking about our work.

“If someone tells you that it’s raining, and another tells you that it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. It’s your job to go to the club and find out that there are topless women giving lap dances there.”

Just a note @PnPCBC and
Lisa Raitt when your speaking about Ignace (presumably) as a willing host for Canada's Nuclear waste. They agreed not to host in town but to dump in adjacent FN land. Why no responsibility for informed opinion? @nickpurdoncbc
