Canadians will be like "omfg Blue Wave in the US, democracy is saved" and then not care about the fact that Regions like Niagara, Waterloo, Peel, etc can't democratically elect their leader anymore and instead are appointed by the Province aka Doug Ford.
#NEW: Ontario appoints 8 regional chairs with "strong mayor" powers. Here's the list. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/11/…

Doug Ford is hand-picking YOUR local representative.
Five of the eight new regional chairs have run as Conservatives or publicly backed his campaign.
They answer to Doug Ford, not to you.

Doug Ford's undemocratic appointment of "strong chairs" is affront to democracy. He is handing over an unprecedented power to hand-selected individuals.
Regional chairs should be elected by the people they represent not appointed by the provincial government. 1/2

Cons are howling about food banks lately but they protest too much, methinks. The rise in food bank usage in Canada is more tied to provincial govt reasons, predominantly rent but many other elements. And guess how many provinces have stinking Con/right wing govt’s? Eight of 10.

Poilievre: “They literally have mothers who drop on their knees begging for food because they can't feed their kids.”
Also Poilievre: *votes NO for National School Food Program*
And performative Pierre doesn’t realise you don’t need to beg to get food at Canada’s food banks.

Today, we remember those who spent years away from their loved ones, those who returned forever changed, and those who never came home.

For those who have forgotten, these undemocratic appointments come with absurd powers.

Doug Ford promised to be a prudent fiscal manager. Now even the credit rating agencies are warning he’s driving Ontario deeper into debt. Never has a government spent so much and delivered so little, and you’re the one paying the bill while his MPPs live the suite life.

Every Single Sponsor of Turning Point USA (@TPUSA ) must cut funding Immediately, or you will be called out for helping to enable what this poor girl has been put through while working for them.
This is NOT going away!
This thread is HORIFYING.
- An 18-year-old former Turning Point chapter VP says she was held down and assaulted at a TPUSA event. It was filmed without her consent, and a man can be heard saying "she is for the whole team" while she resists, and there is clearly blood visible on pants.
- The video was taken without her permission and the men jump onto her. She filed a police report with Rutgers PD. Instead of accountability, she says she got a threatened lawsuit, and that a Turning Point staffer deleted their messages.
- The man she accuses, Vincent Tabone (who goes by "Jim Callahan"), sent her an AI-written cease-and-desist and threatened a defamation suit.
- The man who allegedly filmed her, Daniel Baez of William Paterson University, kept contacting her after she told him to stop.
- Her Turning Point field rep, Anthony Romano, allegedly first told her to block Baez, later changed his position, and deleted their chat messages.
Then there's video of Turning Point's own general counsel walking into a room of underage drinkers, high schoolers included, and saying "I know you are all 21!"
Where is the outrage from the "protect the kids" crowd? Every reporter should be on this.

Pierre Poilievre is right now demanding that Mélanie Joly be fired.
I demand @TheConservativeParty that Pierre Poilievre be fired, if you want to win an election. Canadians are FED UP of his polarizing, arrogant, opportunistic attacks.

Truth bomb: the provincial govts have vastly more of an affect on affordability in this country than the federal govt.
We have nothing to show for it… Ford and his friends do though. This is the case for a recall option.

Just a reminder to those who thought Kathleen Wynne was as bad as Ontario could get. How naive.
We now have the worst premier in Ontario history. With the worst corruption and over-reach possible.
How is he allowed to take away our right to vote in our representation ???? We voted for our mayor. You want a regional chair? Have a damn election and let us choose one. This is an insane attack on democracy.

Seriously, @fordnation? Calling young people who are fighting for their future “Looney Tunes”??
OSAP is a promise to young people, and you have failed them. Your gang of misfit ministers is robbing an entire generation of hope and opportunity.
Well, guess what? In just a few days, you’ll get a lesson in the politics of change.
We’re building something big. A movement that will put an end to your callousness and incompetence. It’s a new @OntLiberal that’s ready to show you the door.
And it’s going to happen sooner than you think.
Because the future starts here, and now!

ICE brought a detainee to White Memorial hospital in LA for medical care, then demanded to be in the room for the exam. The hospital said no. Agents lined up across the ambulance entrance and blocked it for two hours. Nobody at the hospital asked for any of it, and they had to divert ambulances for the whole two hour blockade. They blockaded a hospital. There is no reforming this. Abolish ICE.

Nobody. Likes. Him.
He’s even lost his party 12,000 donating individuals and they’ve slipped behind the Libs in donations. Unprecedented. Not to mention how many MPs he’s lost, the election he’s lost, his own seat that he lost and losing in the polls. A loser through and through.
