Last night at @hughsroomlive.bsky.social, the brilliant @ronsexsmith.bsky.social sang the songs of Warren Zevon. Incredible stories, sharp humour, and of course Ron’s own gift for bringing another songwriter’s words to life. Such a joy to have the band—and the lovely Colleen—join in too!

The Senate passed Trump's request to cut $1.1 billion in federal funding for public broadcasting. Why is Trump so hell-bent on gutting funds for PBS and NPR? It’s part of a larger plan — one where he can control not just what we do, but what we think. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEH7sF6pA4s

Moments after MPP Mamakwa was removed from the legislature: Reporter: "Can you explain just what precisely the Premier said that you're saying is untruthful?" Sol: "That he respects and honours the duty to consult. That's not the truth. The way [Bill 5] is written up speaks the opposite."

This is unbelievable. The government is silencing debate and skipping public hearings to push through their plan to politicize Ontario’s courts. First Bill 5. Now this. How far are they willing to go?

More New Democrats in Ottawa means YOU are better off. With 25 of us, we fought for the biggest expansion of health care in a generation. We brought you dental care and pharma care. These are concrete things that improve people’s lives. If you elect New Democrats, we will fight every day for you.

1.5 million Canadians are now using the NDP Dental Care Plan. New Democrats fought for you and your loved ones to get the care you deserve. We took on the Liberals, we didn't back down - and we got it done. Because as Canadians, we look out for one another.

This isn’t about the border for Donald Trump. It's about our water and the critical minerals that Elon Musk needs. Donald Trump has threatened to use economic force to make us the 51st state. Canadians will never let that happen. No chance in hell.

As Premier, I will end chronic homelessness and make encampments a thing of the past. We will take a housing-first approach, put a roof over people’s heads, and connect them with the supports they need.
Ontario NDP Leader Announces Plan to End Encampments and Tackle Homelessness After seven long years, Doug Ford’s legacy is encampments in every single town and city in our province. 

Seeing tents in parks is a stark reminder of how utterly Ford has failed Ontario – on housing, health care, creating good jobs, and making life more affordable.

As Premier, I will end chronic homelessness and make encampments a thing of the past.

We will take a housing-first approach, put a roof over people’s heads, and connect them with the supports they need.✅ Build 60,000 supportive housing units: safe, permanent homes with wraparound supports like mental health care and addiction treatment.

✅ Upload shelter funding to the province: cities shouldn’t be left scrambling to fund shelters while Ford hoards money.

✅ Expand housing benefits: moving people out of shelters into homes, freeing up shelter space, and helping more Ontarians get back on their feet.

✅ Prevent homelessness before it happens: protect renters, stop illegal evictions, and double social assistance so more people can afford to stay in their homes.

Doug Ford’s legacy is an Ontario that’s harder than ever to live in. A province where people fall into poverty and can’t get out. Where they have to live in a tent because there’s nowhere else to go. #ONyourside #ONpoli

For 7 years Doug Ford has sold off and sold out Ontario, cutting bad deals that put us all on the back foot heading into this crisis. Doug Ford let us down. If we give him the chance, he’ll let us down again. It’s time for a Premier and a government that’s on your side. #ONyourside #ONpoli

Tell Donald Trump: Hands Off Canada
Donald Trump is a bully. He thinks he can push us around – but Canadians are stronger than that. Stand with Jagmeet and the NDP and tell Donald Trump to keep his hands off our country.

The tariffs being paused is good news for Canada and Canadian workers. It means standing up to Donald Trump’s threats is working. But his threats won’t stop. We need to make our economy less reliant on unreliable allies. We need to buy Canadian and build Canadian to create good jobs here.

It’s official: Doug Ford quit on Ontario today. So I’m here to apply for his job. In the next few weeks, we can turn the page on seven long years of failure, corruption, and bad deals. You deserve a better government. With your support, I’ll be a Premier that’s on your side. #ONyourside

Doug Ford has one of the worst negotiating records that I've seen in a Premier. Just look at his Ontario Place deal: Why is every household in the province paying $400 each to subsidize a luxury spa in downtown Toronto?

For three years, I've been grilling Ford and his Conservatives on their personal phone records and "accidental" data wipes. Each time, they gave excuse after excuse, but I never gave up. You deserve better than a Premier who doesn't want you to know who he's talking to or what he's saying.

Poilievre is a billionaire bootlicker. He refuses to act on Trump's tariff threat that will hurt Canadian workers. Why? He'll never stand up to billionaires, including Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
