Water is life, and life is not negotiable. Neither are Indigenous rights. As the Liberal government tries to deny the basic human right to water, undermine Constitutional rights and eliminate critical environmental protections... (1/2)

I can't help think on how Ontario is being run as a majority with less than 18% support of 40% of eligible voters in elections that have been proven in court to have utilized illegal maneuvers to achieve. - It's such an outstanding rejection of support it's almost a vote of non-confidence in itself.

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

As we join the great theoretical scientist, he is deep in thought. So still, quiet and focused that he might almost be asleep. But inside that brilliant mind, what new idea is forming? What certainty is being meticulously interrogated? What ingenious theory is ready to change our world forever? (the scientist snores lightly) Ah, it seems he actually is asleep. And that's fine. Science is hard and not every day can be a success. We will come back another time.

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

Foreign interference in Alberta's referendum is a serious matter impacting our sovereignty and should be debated in Canada's House of Commons. Why then is the Liberal Speaker not interested in this debate?

keepwaterpublic.ca “The Ford government has passed legislation that shifts control of Ontario’s local water systems, giving profit-driven companies power over our drinking water. That means higher bills, less safe water, and no control over something that belongs to all of us.”

Safe. Affordable. Because it's public. Ontario’s water belongs to us—not corporations Protect safe, affordable, public water for everyone. The Ford government

How Ontario’s private clinics are draining taxpayer dollars and staff from public health care www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

As the Ford government diverts funding to private facilities, Ontario’s public operating rooms are underutilized. Many sit dark on weekends; others become storage rooms, a monumental waste of an expensive resource.

This waste is compounded by a massive price premium. CBC News found Ontario paid Clearpoint’s for-profit facilities 2.5 times more for cataract surgeries and 3.1 times more for knee arthroscopies than public hospitals.

"The solution highlighted in the two-page spread in the Globe is to shift more of the tax burden to sales taxes — with a suggested hike that would raise the HST in Ontario to 18 per cent." It's like something golem might sing, "Burn it down and tax you."

"AI creates a government bill. This goes to a committee, whose position and dissenting opinions are drafted by AI, and then in the plenary session the legislative initiative is discussed partly with AI-generated speeches, so if AI drafts the text and reads it, what's the point of the text at all?"
