Hey folks in the Toronto area. There’s a big protest against Ontario’s own Trump, the epically corrupt #DougFord, who has gotten away with SO MUCH, it’s jaw dropping. If you’re able, head to Queen’s Park, Saturday March 28 at noon. #Onpoli

Doug Ford has gone rogue.
From bike lanes, speed cams, banning FOl requests (which helped our bike lane fight), and now forceful YTZ expropriation. Doug thinks he's a king. He must be stopped.

Trump said Canada should be “grateful” because “Canada lives because of the U.S.” Carney fired back: “Canada doesn’t live because of the United States. Canada thrives because we are Canadian.” CBC explains why this moment matters. r.pebmac.ca/https://www.... This is why public journalism matters.

How W. E. B. Du Bois responded to government policing of "anti-American" sentiment during the 1910s: "I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, 'We are seeking to have the Constitution of the United States thoroughly and completely enforced.' ”
Federal agents invaded even the offices of The Crisis and the National Association for the advancement of colored people and asked searching questions: " just what, after all, were our objects and activities?” I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, “We are seeking to have the constitution of the United states thoroughly and completely enforced.” It took some ingenuity, even for Southerners, to make treason out of that.

As basic question from an ex-police reporter: Can some of our journalists detail the training regimen all these new federal agents receive? The lethal incompetence involving use of force and perameters of the 4A suggests they are just handed guns, masks and badges and told to go fuck people up.

Bill 5 is a mess. It's not how we do things in Canada. The Ford government tried to disguise it as a bill about mines and the North—but Ontarians see right through it. Plain and simple: Bill 5 is a power grab. It's time to scrap it.
