@EricMVallillee Fair enough, I didn’t mean to call someone else a clown, the emoji was my reaction to the no stop barrage of emails and mail I have been receiving. I’ve changed my settings with LSO but continue to receive unsolicited campaign media, which is what I take issue with.

Independent candidates send the exact same message to urge you to vote for the block of independent candidates.... 🤡GREAT! #lso #bencherelections

At least 43 Cndns being detained in hellish conditions in Syria. No assistance from government, not charged or convicted of any crimes. Calls to repatriate them ignored. This is a matter of life and death.

If this was about babies, there would be universal healthcare. Free education. Free daycare. Southern states would be doing all they can to drop the Black maternal mortality rate. This is about power and control

[Adam Vaughan @TOAdamVaughan]

Elections are important Thread: Healthcare is getting expensive. The Queens Park press gallery has missed this entirely until the last few hours of the campaign.

@BuildOntario @CMHC_ca Frustrating @cityoftoronto drags its feet on gentle densification via infilling / laneway suites. Toronto applies Ontario Code fire-access requirements extremely narrowly, blocking majority of potential laneway houses. Meanwhile 40+ story condos are no issue for fire-safety?

It’s taken months, but the Rogers-Shaw merger is finally on the political radar screen. @theJagmeetSingh just called on @JustinTrudeau to reject the merger in the House of Commons. Prime Minister doesn’t answer, claiming that government has helped reduce cellphone prices.

Each morning I rise determined to change the world, to make a lot of money, to meditate, to exercise, to write a best selling book, to plant a garden, to paint a classic picture, to run a marathon, and prepare my tax returns.

It does make some days a bit difficult

Re: Vancouver’s David Sidoo being charged again by Americans today with fraud for alleged stock pump and dump schemes …at the end of the @BIVnews article by @WestcoastWood in 2020, the question is posed: “where did [Sidoo] get his money from?” Seems like SEC answered for Canada.

[Yusra S. Khan @YusraK]

@cduhaime @BIVnews @WestcoastWood Just unbelievable. As much as I strongly believe in individual rights to privacy, as a society we need to publicly ask these tough questions of the folks that live in our communities. Canadian regulators need to get a better handle on realities of how $ moves globally #darkmoney

The specialist splits finer and finer hairs in order to know more and more about less and less until he knows everything about nothing. He then publishes a book that contains nothing about anything.

Looking to the MPs to do the right thing and vote for these bills. Long overdue for #ESG #CSR #TRANSPARENCY. Lots of work ahead to ensure no #greenwashing

Two private members bills were tabled today in Canada's House of Commons aimed ensuring that Canadian companies operating transnationally do not violate human rights or cause harm to the environment and are held accountable if they do https://t.co/VwN3AFLSOp

Biz: need a list of laws that apply to us

Me: we don’t keep an actual list

Biz: you memorized it? Wow

All eyes around our country and the world are on Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

I want to be clear that this is a war of choice. It is unprovoked, it is unwarranted, and it is unjustified.

Pushkin Square, maybe less than 1000 meters from Red Square and the Kremlin, is the cite of a significant protest. These people know the risks of challenging the regime. They’re on the street in-spite of major personal costs.

Glen and I spoke for several hours, over in-person intvus and phone calls. He shared horrific details that he had told so many times before to deaf ears. I asked him why he wanted go public with it.⁣

In late May, the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation announced its preliminary finding of 215 unmarked graves at the site of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School. A few days later, I received a text from someone in Vancouver saying a survivor wanted to speak with me.⁣⁣
