(1/6) There may a clue here about what actually happened between the former Attorney-General @Puglaas and the PMO when she asserts solicitor-client privilege as a reason not to comment further on the SNC-Lavalin affair. #onpoli #cdpoli #SNCLavalin
Former AG Jody Wilson-Raybould says she's bound by 'solicitor-client privilege,' won't comment on SNC-Lavalin matter: cbc.ca/1.5011161
Toronto Mayor just can't help herself; connects antisemitic vandalism and shootings at local Jewish buildings to disagreements with some random government's foreign policy
"I've been very clear that I've said no to hate, no to anti Semitism and I was at the vigil just few weeks ago, and which I've done so. However I do not support what the the Israeli government is doing." @OliviaChow addresses concerns of her support of Toronto's Jewish community.
I sure hope that the PM performed a land acknowledgment honouring that this mosque was originally a church on the traditional territory of the Greek-speaking Byzantine Empire

24 hours away from losing three years of majority government in the worst snap election decision in Canadian history, B.C. Premier David Eby desperately begs Green Party supporters to vote NDP to save his seat and his job
Supporters of the BC NDP and the Green Party share a lot of the same values. Strong public health care, protecting the place we call home, and asking the wealthiest to chip in more to build a stronger B.C.
That’s why we're asking for your support and your vote to stop Conservative cuts, higher costs and chaos.
If we stand together, we can build B.C. strong.
A metaphor for the last 4 years of Toronto Council: while transit is a rolling opium den, and kids can't use needle-infested parks, they spent millions renaming a public square.
Council candidate Daniel Tate reminds us that the City Hall must get its priorities straight.

"Olivia Chow supporter, CTV @YourMorning contributor, and social media influencer makes racist video denigrating Filipina child care workers and caregivers" was not on my 2026 Toronto election bingo card
Request into Karishma @MayorOliviaChow @BradMBradford for comment on this use of race/class description in a video as part of @Toronto mayor campaign—as @jerryagar1010 asks if another candidate were to describe voters by skin colour, would there be scrutiny? @KarishmaPorwal3 -- here is the full link on Instagram -- instagram.com/reel/DeuA_trip…

Attention Ward 14 Toronto - Danforth:
After 23 long years, you finally have an opportunity to elect a fresh face to represent your interests at City Hall.
Caryma Sa’d is a bright, articulate lawyer who has been tirelessly documenting Toronto streets for the better part of a decade. In the courtroom, she has fought for tenant rights, and would be a great advocate for Ward 14.
IntegrityTO fully supports @Vote4Sad as your next city councillor. Election October 26 🗳️
This common sense candidate for Toronto Council in Toronto Centre has a real shot at knocking off the incumbent Councillor - who's notorious for wasting public money, violating ethics laws, and bigotry
Gerontocrat Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow (first elected in 1985) trots out nonagenarian British Columbian David Suzuki (first hosted a CBC show in 1971) to lecture us about how cities were governed in the 1960s
This morning, environmental titan David Suzuki joined me in speaking about the risks to our safety and pocketbooks that come with Bradford’s proposal to privatize our water.
I’m grateful to have David’s support. His decades of leadership on the environment remind us that protecting our water means protecting our communities and our environment for future generations.
Our water should never be for sale.
So now we have a party leader in the Quebec National Assembly who will take office as an MNA having:
- refused to swear an oath to uphold Canada and Quebec's constitutional order
- declared loyalty only to her "two nations" of Quebec and Palestine
Quebec politician says she has “two nations” after waving a Palestinian keffiyeh at her swearing-in

I never would have imagined that an NDP Premier would be so desperate in the dying days of an election campaign to attack access to justice, health care, and legal representation for Canadians experiencing disabilities
Absolute clown show befitting a student union at a third-rate university as we watch the fourth party leader dancing around the Quebec National Assembly in a keffiyeh
Septuagenarian ex-Premier fondly reminisces about the 1980s when the Mayor was her kids' school trustee, showing us that Olivia Chow - first elected in 1985 - is ready to meet the challenges facing Toronto in the 1990s head on
A positive and upbeat closing argument for the B.C. Conservatives in advance of Saturday's provincial election - contrasting against a flailing, fearmongering NDP
Man who works for one of Canada's most important newspapers (and who once complained that "misinformation is the world's most pressing problem") can't be bothered to verify whether or not a Toronto mayoral candidate used AI in an ad before passing judgment (it clearly wasn't AI)
If this isn't AI, it worked hard to look like AI. Also, using AI in a campaign ad feels oddly perfect for Brad Bradford
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video ad is not AI-generated. It was professionally filmed and produced by humans using real crew and equipment, per BTS photos and statements from the production team.

As expected, B.C. Premier David Eby is flailing, and no fake justification for his cynical snap election sticks.
He ought to have read about early 90s Ontario politics and learned how electorates punish majorities which call opportunistic elections 2 years into 5-year mandates.
Our civilisation has a problem when one of its most important repositories of cultural patrimony brazenly tells the public not to believe its lying eyes: that it's only closed owing to student protests (and not the riots, looting, and arson over which French police lost control)
Cocky guy with majority government who called snap election now grovels for strategic voting
I’m inviting all progressive voters to join us in this election. If you’ve voted Green in the past, we share a lot of the same values, and there’s too much at stake right now.
In 11 seats last time, the Green vote was the difference between a Conservative and a New Democrat. We can stop Conservative cuts and build B.C. strong if we stand together.
In the last 2 days, Olivia Chow has received endorsements from:
- former Premier who destroyed the Ontario Liberals
- former Premier who destroyed the Ontario NDP
- lunatic claiming that anyone who supported the existence of a Jewish homeland did "not have basic human values"
I know that we can count on Olivia to stand up for people, and their human rights and their dignity and wellbeing. It's so important that everyone gets out to vote on Monday October 26th Olivia. Or we could get stuck with a mayor we do not want and cannot afford. Brad Bradford will say anything to get elected. He flip flops. He cant be counted on. We can't trust him. We know who @oliviachow Chow is. So please make sure you go and vote for Olivia. A Mayor we can trust.
