Ford has doubled Ontario’s debt in less than 8 years.

Record food bank usage & homelessness, record ER wait times, record number of Ontarians without a doctor, record debt loads at Ontario universities & hospitals…

We have nothing to show for Ford’s wasteful spending.

🚨 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 🚨

Ford is running away.

When he has to face daily questions about his private jet, his destruction of public education and healthcare, and his undemocratic consolidation of power—his poll numbers go down.

So he's off to his mansion in Muskoka.

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

Your Ontario government sat for under 30 days and won't reconvene until October.

So much for accountability to anyone...

"The Russians offered to exchange the kidnapped Ukrainian children for captured soldiers.
It's illegal... how can they do something like that?
And it proves that Russia stole the children."

Thank you Leader Stiles for standing up for average Ontarians. The profitization of healthcare has never been worse than under Ford Conservatives. @MaritStiles

Unfortunately, the current level of supplies for our air defense does not allow us to intercept a significant share of missiles. Last night, there were hits. 130 people were injured. Tragically, 22 people were killed, including two children. My condolences to all those who have lost their loved ones.

We know from intelligence that another large-scale strike may come as soon as tonight. All our partners together, and everyone in Europe, should continue working to ensure missiles for our air defense, as well as the systems, critical intelligence, and other things that help to save lives.

It is crystal clear that Europe needs its own anti-ballistic system with sufficient volumes and strength to guarantee protection against any threat.

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, gutted USAID, which supports some of the poorest people in the world.

Now there's an Ebola outbreak in the Congo, which USAID could have helped prevent or slow.

When you dismantle the systems that stop deadly diseases, people needlessly die.

Two months ago, when @AOC and I proposed an AI data center moratorium, we were called “Luddites.”

Now New York is on the verge of passing a moratorium and dozens of localities are doing the same.

People understand: AI must work for all, not just oligarchs.

[Donald Kennedy @sleevine]

As a result of the illegal war on Iran, Canada’s oil giants are raking in billions they didn’t earn and don’t deserve.

It’s time to stop war profiteering and return money back to Canadian families and communities. Take action: https://t.co/kUL9HONY9B

Our protest is fast approaching! Ahead of the giant march and rally taking place in Toronto tomorrow, Thursday May 28, here are the details you need to know 👇

There are many deeply concerning aspects of AI.

Pope Leo highlights one: “If technology becomes the ultimate criterion, the human person risks being reduced to data, a cog in a machine or a commodity.”

Bottom line: AI must benefit ALL of humanity, not just Big Tech oligarchs.

"I think we know that's not correct a lot of what you said Premier Smith."

Manitoba premier Wab Kinew pushes back against Smith's claims on a sovereignty petition court case and duty to consult, and asks for Alberta's referendum to be paused for a couple of years so Canada and provinces can make progress on energy projects like a pipeline.

Doug Ford says he gets “more phone calls than anyone else in the world.”

Funny how the Premier suddenly doesn’t want to answer the phone when Ontarians ask to see the records.

[Tom Parkin @TomPark1n]

Doug Ford will make YOU pay for more expensive, performative and losing court cases

Meanwhile:
- Housing construction -- failure
- Protecting jobs -- failure
- Court prosecutions -- failure
- Running jails -- failure
- Drug policy -- failure
- Mental health policy -- failure

This week, I prepared a special letter addressed to the President of the United States and to Congress. And yesterday, the letter was officially delivered to the institutions in Washington. It is quite rare for the leader of another state to address both the President and Congress of the United States simultaneously with a letter. But the situation now requires action, swift and effective action.

It is important that America hear Ukraine. We understand that much of the world’s attention is currently focused on the war in Iran. But the war here in Europe must also be brought to an end – a very bloody war that is already in its fifth year at full scale.

The sooner we are able to provide greater protection against ballistic threats, the sooner we will be able to make diplomacy work. As long as Russia continues to rely on missiles, its interest in diplomacy is not real. We must correct this. And we can do so only together with America.

Ukraine is grateful to America for all its support. And Ukraine will be even more grateful for a dignified peace and guaranteed security. All of this is possible – if there is sufficient determination.

PM Carney in the House, May 26, 2:20 pm in answer to a question from Pierre Poilievre: "Mr. Speaker, some things have changed since the Harper days, thankfully. One of them is refinery margins, which are up by 40¢ in Canada. Forty cents, that is a curious number. Refinery margins are up because of the loss of petrol.
One other thing that has not changed is that the Leader of the Opposition is against child care. He is against dental care. He is against pharmacare. He is against everything that supports Canadians in this affordability crisis."
