We had rain today that almost fit the definition of what is called "Fool's rain." Feels like a fine mist, but will surprise you by getting you soaking wet. Way too often, the only things on my mind come from screens.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

We’ve always known, but now it’s confirmed, that Danielle Smith’s separatist friends, including a sitting UCP president, have been conspiring to hand over Alberta’s land, oil and water to Donald Trump. Albertans deserve better than this weak leadership that hurts us all. tgam.ca/3Txh5Gt

Local government spends millions on advertising telling taxpayers why they shouldn’t be bothered by 17-hour wait times in their local ER - if their local ER hasn’t already been shut down by local government’s cost cutting on healthcare.

Ontario Health Ministry spent $13.3M on advertising last year
Newly released records bring advertising spending identified by The Trillium to more than $90M across five ministries

But who could have seen this coming? EVERYONE. We all said this would happen. How did we know? Because we saw the same thing happen in other countries, like the UK. There are ways to minimize this effect, but of course Ontario has not taken any steps to that effect.
