Not a Liberal. I'm a Socialist. But Trudeau's shout-out for Universal #Healthcare was on point.
Now act to reign in all the Conservative Premiers who are destroying it - please?

Yesterday I asked the Prime Minister a question about the US Department of Justice revealing that Russia is funnelling money to conservative media figures.
Conservative MPs went bananas. #cdnpoli

Study finds that 84% of Canadians with strongest belief in disinformation vote Conservative cultmtl.com/2023/10/study-fi…
“95% of the most disinformed Canadians are planning to vote for the CPC or PPC.”
I recognize this research by @VoiceOfFranky @EKOSResearch feels partisan & polarizing. And yes, misinformation happens across ideological continuum.
But studies consistently show that in THIS cultural moment, it is having the biggest impact on the political right. It is important to study this & try to understand what is going on. cc @Sander_vdLinden @STWorg @ImogenRCoePhD @TheBreakdownAB @ryanjespersen

Yes be afraid, be very afraid. You will pay more in $ and in Rights. Just witness Ontario under Ford. Can’t afford housing? Getting hit with healthcare costs? Thank a Conservative Premier

Of all the issues facing Ontario, including the closure of 1199 ERs last year. Banning bike lanes and breaking booze contracts are Ford’s priorities? #onpoli

.@Oprah: For all of you watching who are still on the fence, in the middle, independent as I am, or whether you just still don't know what you're gonna do. This is the moment for all decent and caring people who want the best for yourself and other people. This is the moment for people who are tired of all of the bickering and all of the name-calling, people who are exhausted by the craziness and the made up stories and the conspiracies. This is the moment you wanna get on with your life because you know that we can do better and that we deserve better. You know this, I know you know this, I know you feel this. I know this is what you're saying amongst yourselves. We're better than this. And as my friend and mentor Maya Angelou always said, ‘When you know better, you got to do better.’ So let's do better and vote for Kamala Harris

Conservative Bill 124 illegally suppressed wages; creating a crisis in order to privatize healthcare, education, & long-term care.
When asked if Bill 124 was a bad idea. Finance Minister Bethlenfalvy said “Absolutely not.”

Nearly seven months after the Ford governmentbacktracked on its controversial wage suppression legislation, Ontario taxpayers have shelled out almost $7 billion in retroactive payments to public sector employees.

Week 317. Global climate strike with Fridays For Future Uppsala!
Today during the global day of action people have been protesting and climate striking all over the world to demand climate justice. Tomorrow we will take it to the streets in Stockholm. Dozens of different solidarity movements and organisations are joining forces to show that we all share the same goal - a world that puts people and planet above profit. Without social justice there can be no climate justice.
March with us tomorrow for decolonisation, climate- and social justice, gender equality, antiracism and antifascism. Vi samlas på Odenplan kl 14!

The Bank of Canada has cut rates 3x, for a 0.75% total rate cut, it’s at 4.25% today.
The US Fed has cut their’s once, 0.5% total, it’s at about 4.8% today.
🇨🇦 is doing well.
The Premier is either terrible at math, thinks you’re an idiot, or both.
Don’t vote Conservative.

The Ford government's Bill 124 has cost the Ontario taxpayer almost $7 billion - and it has worsened the staffing crisis our health care system is facing.
The Ford government created this disaster - and they have no plan to fix it. #onpoli

To the Chief Medical Officer of Ontario:
Medical settings need to be SAFER SPACES for BOTH patients & staff
Masking can't be put on the shoulders of Ontario's MOST VULNERABLE
..that's your job.
Bring back masks back into healthcare.
Signed
@ONThealth @OntariosDoctors
Yes, we do need to bring back masks in medical settings.
Many don’t want to appear disrespectful by asking their health-care workers to mask. Patients have a right to safety in health care facilities. #Opinion trib.al/gPUkkoz

Highway 413 is not any old road. It would be a death blow to the Humber and Credit Rivers and Etobicoke Creek. Oh...and also it is not needed. We could spend less and end gridlock tomorrow if we put the trucks from the 401 onto the 407. #Stopthe413 #onpoli

Ford likes to brag about his beer & wine “deal” - which cost us millions of dollars.
It is astounding that they can fast-track alcohol while 1199 ERs closed last year.
Ontario. You deserve better. #onpoli
