Try, among other things… Getting ill will not bankrupt you. Your insurance will not be an endless battle that destabilizes your finances and family. You and your children can get routine medical treatment. You are not up at night worrying about these things.

I didn't mince my words. Alberta's anti-immigration referendum questions are racist. They are also a potential disaster for Alberta's economy. Last night, I rose in the Senate to denounce them - and to thank all the thousands of Albertans fighting against them. Please share. #notothenine #cdnpoli

“We can’t eat road salt” -Troy Jackson. One line showed all the problems Donald Trump has caused Susan Collins. She’s bragging on carveouts she gets thrown by the Trump administration on tariffs, but his larger trade war with Canada continues.

Troy Jackson: We're losing $3 billion in healthcare. We're losing SNAP benefits. We're losing heating assistance. Susan Collins could have stopped that if she really cared. But she doesn't. She does whatever Trump wants. I can't understand how anyone in their right mind can actually defend that vote

In a deranged speech tonight, Trump called on Iran to use a nuclear weapon against Los Angeles and San Diego, calling it "a very small price to pay." The president of the United States encouraged a foreign nation to commit a heinous crime against humanity and incinerate millions of Americans.

Put another way, Ford wants to spend more on removing bike lanes in Toronto ($48M) than he's spent protecting all of Ontario's businesses from an international trade war. Ontario deserves serious leadership, that follows through on promises, and actually puts people before profits.
