It's worse than that. He money laundered money to Hamas through the Houthis in Yemen, to the tune of $30 million. He needed an enemy to get elected. It worked. Genocide followed. War criminal.

What a mess. “I have spent an entire career either in or around politics. I understood what this demand from the Premier's office meant...," Paul Godfrey said in the statement. The premier's office says the claims are "categorically untrue." #OnPoli
“On the morning of January 22, 2025 my son, Rob Godfrey, President and CEO of Keel Digital Solutions, approached me with a problem,” Paul Godfrey’s sworn declaration said.

The problem was that Patrick Sackville, the premier’s then-chief of staff, had communicated to Rob Godfrey that he would approve Keel Digital’s proposal for a new three-year agreement with the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, but “in the meantime, the Premier needed a favour from Postmedia,” it said.

“The Premier wanted to make his case to voters for calling an early election … (and) to publish a letter to voters in all Ontario Postmedia newspapers before he officially called the election,” continued Paul Godfrey in his declaration.

“It was understood that… if Postmedia did not print the letter to voters that Mr. Sackville would not be motivated to take the steps to ensure the three-year proposal was approved,” he alleged.

Sackville did not respond to a request for comment about the allegations on Tuesday.

A new statue titled “The Orange Plague”, also known as “King of Injustice”, by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, where it will remain through 8 October. Remember to stop by for a selfie if you have a chance. 😏📸
This sculpture is a satirical piece titled "[The Orange Plague] created by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt.

The Imagery: The 2.6-meter-tall, gold-plated bronze sculpture depicts a naked, oversized Donald Trump riding on the back of a smaller man. He is holding a golf club in one hand and a pair of scales in the other. 

The Meaning: According to Galschiøt, the piece is a satirical commentary on modern political power, climate policy, and the subversion of the rules-based international order. 

Recent Exhibition: In October 2026, the statue drew global headlines when it went on public display inside the European Parliament building in Strasbourg, France, organized by Danish MEP Per Clausen.

Egypt, UAE and Jordan warned Israel before Oct. 7. Egypt kept warning until 2 days before; UAE’s president personally warned Netanyahu of a major attack. Netanyahu knew the danger, but he saw an opportunity to continue his murderous campaign in Gaza. Trump/Putin/Netanyahu are the axis of evil. 😡

Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. 

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

#Canada, one of the reasons cited by the US in leveraging tariffs on Canada is the alleged importation of the fruits of forced labour.
