@BrentToderian Starving cities of funding to force them to depend on corporate sponsors is a tried and true neoliberal tactic. All part of creating the myth that we need the wealthy and their money.

"The longer range means some of BYD’s dual-mode plug-in electric hybrid cars can cover the equivalent of Singapore to Bangkok, New York to Miami or Munich to Madrid on a single charge and a full tank of gas." https://t.co/XohjKX30XS

“While…the interest rate is still regarded as suitable for [countercyclical demand management], modern monetary theory has increasingly veered away from this position…the rate of interest…strikes with most force at just the wrong places.” ~Alvin Hansen

"They poisoned the world."

Animals dying in agony, children born with deformities, early cancers and deaths. Also incredible bravery, as families faced decades of denials.

@BigJMcC @CTVNews LOL, @CTVNews is part of Ford's comms team.

Doug Ford and co insisted that they never do government business on personal email. The Ford Government has been caught lying and potentially deleting important Greenbelt emails.

This is an ethical and security risk to our province. How is this at all acceptable? #onpoli

@MerlinofCanada Will there be jail time?

@kim_gaetz Why not remove GST and raise taxes on high incomes, and excessive profits?

Who destroyed housing affordability? Blackstone (Mulroney/Lapham), Brookfield (Royal Lepage) & Blackrock (Prudential/Royal Lepage)

1. I spent this evening reading the latest journal articles on the biological mechanisms underpinning the neurocognitive symptoms of Long Covid. As happens every time I read the research, I am reminded of how quickly we have normalised a debilitating and ominous condition.

The ultimate policy contempt for Ontarians is the early opening of 8500 alcohol retailers using $225M of taxpayer's money while ER doctors like me every single day treat Ontarians who want to access detox or rehab - but there are no options. @MaritStiles

We're collectively growing at an extraordinary pace of about 2.4% per year, fast enough to add as much to our daily resource demands in the next 30 years as we have since the dawn of civilization. If you feel it's hard to keep up, there's a reason... 🧵

Keep public health care money away from the @loblawco empire, including @ShopprsDrugMart
To say @loblawco @LoblawsON don’t care about us/you would be an understatement.
Reposting because it’s so good 😊

What would have happened to Canada's inflation rate if, like the Bank of Japan, the @bankofcanada had not raised rates? Remember, it is rates that driving the current inflation.

5) I’m seeing comments from knuckleheads that: “If bird flu so bad and spreads so easily why aren’t we all dying yet” 🤦🏻‍♂️ — clearly such people didn’t get the message that the virus isn’t well adapted to human respiratory tract yet. And that raw milk🥛 is different from pasteurized milk virus loads, which I’ve said before matters.
