Disinfo & malinfo are threats to democracy! We need to teach our children social emotional skills to ensure they become empathetic adults capable of critical thinking! Believe in science & learn from history! Very sad to see what's happening in the USA

Housing costs are crushing Canadians, yet our cities remain trapped in market-first thinking. Zohran Mamdani’s new housing plan in New York takes a different approach: build public housing, strengthen tenant power, and confront real estate speculation head-on. It's time Canadian cities caught up.

This seems...unlikely, especially in light of reporting a few days ago that another Sikh activist had been warned of a credible threat to life. Either the government is naively believing India, or it is misleading Canadians with this statement. globalnews.ca/news/1170676...

If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to get more involved in fighting creeping Christofascism, clear your schedule on January 10. The last time these ding dongs tried to march at Christie Pits they were outnumbered 10-1. I bet we can do better than that this time. #Toronto #CounterProtest
A poster by a Christofascist group called Canada First Movement shows a Canadian flag beside a large white cross and an airplane flying towards the right side of the poster. They’re hosting a racist rally called Stop Mass Immigration at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto on January 10 at 1 pm. The words at the bottom of the poster say START MASS DEPORTATIONS • CLOSE OUR BORDERS.
